Chapter 680

Oliver couldn't shake the thought of the mole Josefina had mentioned. Could it really be such a coincidence? Was the mysterious woman from back then actually

Sydney?

This thought gnawed at him. "Keep digging," he told Harry before hanging up and calling Josefina to fill her in.

"Josie, I remember you're free this afternoon. How about we swing by the hospital together and get to the bottom of this?"

Josefina's curiosity got the better of her. "Sure, I'll join you. Let's meet at the hospital entrance where Sydney is staying. No need to pick me up; it'll save time."

"Josie, let me come get you, though."

"Really, don't bother. Let's not waste time," Josefina insisted, hanging up before he could argue further.

She pocketed her phone and took a step forward, only to bump into an unwelcome face.

Xavier was there to pick up Mandy from school, and they both noticed Josefina. Mandy, clinging to Xavier's arm, shot Josefina a provocative look.

"What do you feel like eating, Mandy? I'll take you out. Were classes tough today?" Xavier asked tenderly.

"Not tired at all. With you picking me up, I could never be," Mandy replied, smiling.

Josefina couldn't stand their banter and quickened her pace, but Xavier blocked her path.

"Josefina, I hope you won't spread false rumors about me in front of Mandy. Mandy and I are truly in love, and I love her more than myself."

"Are you done? If so, shut it, will you? Listening to you is making me nauseous. Don't bother me, okay?" Josefina snapped, brushing past Xavier.

Mandy fumed, "Josefina is so ungrateful. Xavier, you shouldn't even talk to her. She has no manners."

Xavier reassured her gently, "Mandy, I just didn't want you to think less of me because of her. You know I'm all yours in this life."

Mandy blushed, "Let's go have dinner, Xavier."

"Anything you want, I'll treat you to," Xavier promised, making Mandy beam even brighter.

"Sweetheart, if I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?" he teased as they walked away hand in hand.

Shaking off the distasteful

encounter with Xavier, Josefina arrived at the hospital entrance where Oliver was waiting with a bucket of fruit tea in hand. His usually serious face lit up with a doting smile upon seeing her.

"Josie, take it easy," Oliver said, his eyes full of fondness.

"I remembered you don't like milk tea, so I got you fruit tea instead."

Josefina looked at the fruit tea; its vibrant color seemed refreshing. "Thanks, Oliver,"

she said, genuinely touched.

"No worries, let's head in."

With only the fruit tea in hand, they entered the hospital together and

made their way to Sydney's room, where Rowan and Shay were present.

The sight of Oliver and Josefina surprised everyone in the room. Why were they here?

Shay couldn't hide her elation at seeing Oliver, but her gaze quickly soured upon resting on Josefina, though she managed to mask her displeasure swiftly. fo

"Dad, look who's here. Dorian came to check on you. He still cares a lot about you," Shay said with a bright smile.

Josefina remained silent, her whole focus on finding out whether the back of

Sydney's ear showed any signs of laser removal marks.

Could a mole that noticeable really be removed without a trace?

Even if it was thoroughly removed, Josefina had other ways to uncover the truth.
