McGill had a deep connection to the island.
After packing up, he took his wife and walked toward the house they used to live in.
The house had been vacant for a long time and seemed a bit run-down.
McGill held his wife's hand tightly, looking at the dark house with a hint of tears in his eyes: "Next time we come, this little building might be torn down."
At this point, his wife usually comforted him gently.
But McGill waited for a while, and found that his wife had not said anything.
McGill felt a bit down.
"What's up?" McGill asked.
McGill's wife snapped back to reality.
She had spent most of the evening with Rosalynn.
Rosalynn was nothing like the other rich ladies she had met.
Rosalynn was very gentle and kind.
When McGill's wife talked about their own business, Rosalynn would give business advice from a professional investor's perspective.
She wasn't like some people who spoke in incomprehensible jargon.
Her suggestions were very straightforward, and McGill's wife learned a lot from them.
But occasionally, when people weren't talking to her, she would just gaze off into space, and sadness clearly showed on her face.
McGill's wife knew, she was missing her beloved.
Seeing her like this, the image of Zenobia's fiancé became clearer in McGill's wife's mind, more and more overlapping with her memory of Wayne.
According to Viola, it was because she was tired from being extorted by some people on the island before, and she didn't want to be disturbed before saying goodbye to the old house.
But...
In McGill's wife's memory, Viola was not like this.
Those who extorted her were the people on the island who had not left, not her former neighbors who had always had a good relationship with her.
She looked at the few inns not far away.
Because there were many people who just went back to rest, the lights were all on.
Only Viola's inn was tightly closed, completely dark.
"What's up?" McGill saw that his wife was standing still and asked gently, "You've seemed troubled all night, did something happen?"
"Honey, if you see someone who might be lost from your friend's house, but it's highly unlikely for them to be there. Would you tell your friend about it?"
