McGill's wife had known Zenobia since Zenobia was little.
She was heartbroken that Zenobia was marrying a man with poor health and had already discussed with her family that they would find a reliable doctor for Zenobia's fiancé the moment they got the chance.
"Don't worry, my mom and I have got a plan!" Zenobia reassured, pulling McGill's wife away from the inn. "You hardly come back, so don't stress over for me. Go and have some fun. We'll leave the island together tomorrow!"
"Alright, stop fussing over me and go back to your fiancé," McGill's wife waved her off.
Zenobia nodded.
Watching McGill's wife leave, her legs felt weak.
She quickly turned around and went back, this time making sure to close the inn's door.
Jaime, worried about Rosalynn's thirst, intended to buy some water from Zenobia's place.
But before he could get there, he saw that the shop was already closed.
He walked back, a bit miffed.
"She doesn't even want to hustle for money, guess Wayne's cashed her up!" McGill's wife happened to walk by Jaime as he muttered this.
"Young man, who were you just talking about?" McGill's wife asked rapidly, grabbing Jaime by the arm.
Jaime, who didn't recognize her, jumped in surprise, "What the hell?!"
"Did you mention Wayne just now?" McGill's wife continued.
"Yeah, he's my sister's husband, what about it?" Jaime looked at her, puzzled.
Rosalynn noticed the commotion.
She hurried over, "What's going on?"
"She just grabbed me all of a sudden..." Jaime complained.
