Both Xavier and Yulissa were carried into the car.Josiah’s only focus was to rescue Xavier. Hence, the
former inevitably ignored Yulissa.However, instead of remaining idle, Winnie examined Yulissa.She
suspected Yulissa was faking it in the “kidnapping game.”The fact that Yulissa’s finger was cut off was
true. Regardless, after careful examination, Winnie realized the former had no marks on her wrist that
indicated she was tied up.If she wasn’t tied up, or perhaps she was just tied loosely for the act, then it
exins the events after that.When Xavier held Winnie hostage with the fake bomb, both of them never
moved from the window.As for the six kidnappers, they were gathered by the door, too busy trying to
kick the door open to escape. Thus, none of them would have had the chance to attack.Despite that,
what happened next was rather bizarre. A smoke bomb appeared in the cabin out of
nowhere.However, neither Winnie nor Xavier were the ones who threw it. The six kidnappers were out
of the question as well. Yulissa was the only person who could do it.She released the smoke bomb to
detain the kidnappers and Xavier. Just as Winnie was thinking of the reason for Yulissa’s actions, the
former suddenly recalled the conversation Yulissa and Zyon had on the mountain the other night.Zyon
ordered Yulissa to inject something into Xavier’s body. Besides, Christopher’s men found a used
syringe in the cabin. That means…Noticing something was odd about Xavier, Josiah quickly asked
Winnie, “Paulina, something’s wrong with Xavier’s pupils. What exactly happened on the wreck? And
what did the kidnappers do to him? You’d better tell me everything without missing a single detail.”At
that time, Winnie had roughly understood the entire situation. She also had a rough guess of what
Xavier went through when she escaped from the cabin.Without saying much, she simply rolled out
Xavier’s sleeves to reveal his arm.“What do you see, Dr. Houghton?” she inquired.“An injection mark?”
As a doctor, Josiah was extremely sensitive toward tiny details like that. In fact, he spotted it instantly.At
the same time, he panicked at the sight of the mark. “What did they inject into Xavier’s body?”“I’m not
sure about that, but…” Winnie’s voice trailed as she eyed Yulissa. “Maybe you can try asking Ms. White
about it. I got out just in time when the kidnappers released a smoke bomb. Ms. White was with Mr.
Fairchild during that time.”If Yulissa could inject something into Xavier’s arm when he’s unconscious,
that means she never fainted during that time. That also means she’s currently faking it.Josiah,
however, frowned. “We don’t even know when she will wake up.”With that, he said to the driver, “Can
you speed up? We need to get to the hospital as soon as possible.”Winnie nced at Yulissa and said
to Josiah, “I don’t think it’ll take long. I saw her fingers move a little just now. I think she’ll wake up
soon.”Winnie then lowered her head and called out softly into Yulissa’s ear, “Wake up, Ms. White.
You’re still conscious, aren’t you?”Winnie’s warm breath tickled Yulissa’s ears, causing thetter’s
eyelid to move a little. Yet, Yulissa continued faking unconsciousness.Seeing that, Winnie twitched her
lips and continued whispering into Yulissa’s ears, “It’s time to wake up, Ms. White. Guess what? The
leader of the kidnappers admitted everything just now. He said this was all nned by you.” Yulissa’s
eyelids moved a little, but she still did not wake up.Very well. Winnie straightened herself. She was
curious to find out how long Yulissa could keep up with the act.Winnie then turned to Josiah. “By the
way, could Mr. Fairchild be injected with a kind of drug? I think you should examine Ms. White as well.
Who knows? She could’ve been injected, too.”As Winnie was saying that, she leaned over to roll up
Yulissa’s sleeves.Finally, Yulissa’s eyes flew open.The injection marks on her arm were marks that had
umted over the years. She would not be able to exin herself if Josiah discovered it and
wanted to take her to the hospital to examine her body.After opening her eyes, she asked weakly,
“Where… Where am I?”Winnie merely smiled and said nothing.Josiah exined, “Yulissa, you were
rescued. We’re on the way to the hospital now.”“What about Xavier? How is he now?” Yulissa struggled
to sit up and pretended to wince in pain as if she had identally touched her wound. “Ouch. My hand
hurts. I-Is Xavier okay?”“Not really. He needs to be sent to the hospital right away. You should take care
of your wound.”Tears streamed from Yulissa’s eyes, and she threw herself onto Xavier. “How could this
happen? What did those kidnappers do to him? Oh, Xavier. I’m so sorry. You had to go through all this
because of me. I’m so sorry.”Winnie was baffled, feeling utterly disgusted by the scene before her. Her
acting skills are amazing. It’s a waste for her not to be a part of the entertainment industry.After arriving
at the hospital for some time, Xavier showed no signs of consciousness, even after the IV drip had
been refilled twice.Winnie was getting impatient. Thus, she got up and went to Josiah’s office.Josiah
was arranging the reports at that time. He frowned when he saw her entering his office. “What is
it?”Winnie went straight to the point. “When is he going to wake up? Can you give me a specific
time?”Josiah adjusted his sses. “A specific time? Excuse me, miss. Don’t you think you should give
me an exnation first?”“What do you want to know?”Instead of answering her question, Josiah fixed
his eyes on her and pushed a button on his phone. “Let here in.”Not long after, a knock sounded
on Josiah’s office door.“Come in,” Josiah responded briefly. He then reached out and removed Winnie’s
mask.At the same time, the other person entered the room.Suddenly, there were two simr-looking
women in the office.One of them was the real Paulina, while the other was Winnie, who was imitating
the former.“I’m sorry, Dr. Houghton. I was blinded by money,” Paulina said awkwardly.“We’ll talk about
youter.” With that, Josiah shifted his gaze to Winnie. “What do you have to say for yourself?”Winnie
put the mask back on and said calmly, “Everything is as you’ve seen. I have nothing to exin.
Besides, Xavier knows about it, too. He knows my objective in doing so. Xavier and I have an
iplete deal. I just need to speak to him when he’s conscious. That’s all.”The moment she finished
speaking, her phone rang.She answered it and exited the office. “Hello. It’s me. Any updates from your
side?”The caller had only uttered a sentence when Winnie’s brows knitted into a frown.
