What the hell? So this is what goes through Xavier’s mind? This is why he kept Yulissa by
his side but refused to interact with her? Is this also why he has been looking for
“Dumbo?” So all those times when I was pretending to be stupid as well as intentionally
kissed, hugged, and teased him, he was wondering if he was a pervert when I got a
reaction out of him? Dang. Well, I can’t say his current performance didn’t change how I
look at how he acted in the past. This actually reignited my interest in him. After all, he is
pretty interesting while acting like this. I wanted something sexual out of our relationship,
yet he truly wanted love from me. Not only that, he earnestly desired my love when I was
acting like an idiot! I have to say, this is kind of funny, but it also makes me feel a little
guilty. He said he was afraid he would lose control and hurt me. Yet, in reality, every time
he lost control, it was because I was intentionally making it happen. Most of the time, I
wanted him to lose control. Sometimes, I wished he would go further, but he ended up
being the one holding himself back. At that moment, Winnie had an impulsive desire to
tear away her makeup, walk up to him, and make fun of him.
However, she managed to resist that temptation because her appearance was a little too
embarrassing at the moment.
The conversation on the deck continued.
The woman said, “It’s rare that a successful person like you truly loves a mentally disabled
woman like your wife. She’s lucky to have married you.”
A brief silence ensued before Xavier spoke again. “If I can find her this time, I promise I’ll
make her lucky for the rest of her life.”
Winnie, who was still listening to the conversation, felt a little speechless after that. Is luck
something people can give to each other? Still, I’m starting to look forward to what he’ll
do.

A little over five in the morning, the sun emerged from the horizon where the sea
seemingly touched the sky.
It was then she was woken up by the sunlight and the sounds made by the ship docking.
By the time Winnie finished grooming herself and walked out of the cabin, Xavier and the
others had already descended from the ship.
So, she ambled behind them with the lady owner of the boat.
When she was still on the ship, she borrowed a piece of cloth to cover her face. The waves
and winds were strong on the sea. Therefore, it was usual for the locals to dress up like
that when they went out to sea. As such, her appearance wouldn’t attract any attention.
As they walked, the lady owner of the boat asked, “Are you together with them? I noticed
you and the others didn’t talk to each other at all.”
“That’s right,” Winnie replied plainly. “I didn’t know them before. We only got on the same
boat because of… reasons.”
“I knew you lot didn’t look like you were familiar with each other. By the way, there’s only
one trip from the island to the mainland every week. Since the ship will be arriving this
morning, do you want to leave with it?”
“Is that so? What a coincidence.” Winnie went along. “In that case, can I change my
clothes at your place first? Then I’ll give my family a call to tell them I’m safe.”
“Sure. I’ll take you to my home right away. Those people will want to dry their clothes,
too.”
Just like that, Winnie followed the lady owner of the boat back home.
However, she didn’t plan to leave immediately.
That was because she also wanted to take a look at the mentally challenged woman who
seemed to have been kidnapped and sold to the island.
While she was no different compared to an average person at that moment, the fever she
had when she was a kid really did deal tremendous damage to her intelligence.
It was thanks to her persistent training and development afterward that she became who
she was today.
Without the luck she had back then, she would still be a mentally challenged person.
Perhaps she would’ve ended up being sold somewhere remote as a sex toy used by social
outcasts, like the mentally challenged woman on the island.
Winnie pitied the disabled woman, so she was going to stay on the island and help her out
if that woman really existed.
After borrowing the lady owner’s phone to log in to her WhatsApp, she transferred money
to the woman as a token of gratitude.
Upon changing into the lady owner’s clothing, she asked for the Briggs family’s address
before leaving silently.
The Briggs family seemed to have been the family that bought the mentally disabled
woman as a wife.
Concurrently, Xavier was treating his leg injury.
After what happened last night, his reconnected leg bones were dislocated again. So,
taking care of that required quite a lot of time.
When that was done, he was ready to head to the Briggs residence. Only then did he
realize Winnie was gone.
So, he turned to the lady owner of the boat and asked, “Where’s the woman who was with
us earlier? Where did she go?”
“Oh, she left,” the lady owner explained. “She said she wasn’t familiar with you lot, so she
didn’t come to say bye. That reminds me. There’s only one trip back to the mainland
every week, and the ship’s coming today. So, she went there early to wait for its arrival.”
Xavier frowned. “What time is it coming?”
“That’s hard to tell. However, no matter what time it is, the ship will usually wait until after
ten before leaving.”

Just as he was setting off, Winnie was already in trouble.
Half an hour ago, when she tried to sneak into the Briggs residence’s backyard, she came
across two suspicious men.
She had no idea what those men were doing there, and she definitely didn’t want to alert
the Briggs family, so she hid in a dark corner silently.
At first, she thought they were just petty thieves. However, after they went in, they
started beating people up.
Not only that, they dragged a woman out of the building after a while.
At first, the woman tried shouting. However, her mouth was soon covered by the men
before she was dragged out of the backyard by them clumsily.
Winnie had no idea what had happened to the person who was knocked out in the
building. No sounds were heard from the inside. Even after the woman was dragged away,
no one came out to chase after her.
For a moment, Winnie was confused about what was going on. However, she had a feeling
the woman who was kidnapped was the mentally disabled woman the Briggs family
bought.
Thus, she kept her silence and followed the two men.
After bringing the woman along with them, the men’s speed naturally decreased.
Just as Winnie was about to catch up to them, her clothing was accidentally ripped apart
by a tree branch when she was running.
In an instant, her clothes were torn in half, causing her to go almost stark naked.
When she was done dealing with her clothing crisis, the men had already left quite far
away from her.
However, she didn’t give up because of that and kept on running.
Just as she was taking a turn, she was ambushed.
A stick headed straight for her head.
