Chapter 0041 Miranda had taken sphotos of Winter too. In one of them, Winter had just gotten off the roller coaster, looking like she'd escaped with her life. Miranda couldn't help but laugh.

She scrolled to the end. The last photo was a solo shot of her. Before she closed the app, she noticed two familiar figures in the background in the photo.

She pursed her lips. Winter had probably gotten Hansel and Ingrid in the shot by accident.

She was the main subject of the photo, while the people behind her were supposed to be the background.

However, seeing the couple holding hands behind her, it looked like she was the one who'd barged into their world instead.

However, less than an hour later, Hansel called her again. "What kind of medicine did you get me? It's completely useless! How could you mess up something as simple as buying medicine?

At that moment, he heard the door open. It was Martha coming hafter buying groceries.

Hansel didn't like having outsiders in the home, so she cand went at the stevery day. At this hour, she'd cback to do scleaning when, suddenly, she saw a tall figure walking toward her.

"Martha, where's your phone?" Martha was shocked when she saw his pale face. "Mr. Johnson, are you alright?"

Hansel was already very irritated.

"Giveyour phone. want to make a cath," he said eT impatiently.

When he got her phone, he didn't even have to think. He typed out a string ofhumbers. with familiarity.

Soon, the line connected. "What's the matter, Martha?"

Before Hansel heard her clear voice over the phone, he'd planned to ask her whether she was done throwing a tantrum and when she was planning to cback to the mansion.
