Back at Yeringham, Josephine stayed up through the night worrying about Jared.
At the same time, the hotel owner was terrified when he saw the number of people Tommy had assigned to surround his hotel. Indeed, Tommy had gotten his people to go from Horington to Yeringham in a hurry to protect Josephine.
As dawn lined the horizon in faint yellow, that was when Jared had finally arrived in his severely damaged car. Naturally, Josephine got anxious when she saw the state of the car when he arrived.
As soon as Jared had gotten out of the car, Josephine rushed into his arms and asked concernedly, “Are you all right, Jared? Are you hurt?”
“I'm fine! How could the puny Whitaker family ever hurt me?” Jared smiled faintly.
Right then, Yasmin was also getting out of the car. Her heart ached a little when she saw Jared and Josephine embracing.
“Yasmin, a-are you all right?” Zeke rushed toward her and hugged her upon seeing that she had been saved.
However, Yasmin shoved him aside coldly. “I'm fine!”
Zeke was baffled. Why is she so cold toward me?
“Thank you, Yasmin! Thank you so much for saving me!” Josephine let go of Jared and hugged Yasmin to express her gratitude.
“Silly! Of course, I had to protect you! Actually, I should be the one thanking you instead.” Yasmin smiled slightly before instinctively casting Jared a gaze.
Josephine looked at Yasmin with bewilderment written all over her face. What does she mean? Why should she be thanking me?
