Silly Bride Chapter 70


    Chapter 70


    “Go now!” Xavier shouted, visibly shocked by the unexpected turn of events.However, he quickly


    recollected himself and started backing away, still using his body to shield Winnie. “Don’t worry about


    me. Just jump into the water!”Winnie nced at the bleeding wound on his abdomen and frowned.“It’s


    useless to jump off now. We’ve already sailed into the high seas, and it’d be impossible to swim back to


    shore. Our only option now is to take these brutes down and seize control of the boat! Besides, you


    need to stop your bleeding. If you jump down now, you’ll die.”Even if neither of us was hurt, jumping


    into the cold waters now will eventually kill us both!“We won’t be able to overpower them,” Xavier


    muttered as his eyes fell on the deck below. “There are moreing.”Sure enough, Winnie followed


    his gaze and saw another group of men heading toward them. “D*mn it! We’ve been too


    careless!”“Listen to me and jump!” Xavier insisted as he turned to look at her. “Otherwise, it’d be too


    late once they’ve surrounded us!”At that moment, Winnie did trust the man in front of her.She believed


    that no matter the circumstances, he’d always find a way to get them out safe and sound.For example,


    when they previously went to rescue Yulissa, Xavier whipped out two fake bombs he had prepared and


    scared the living daylights out of the kidnappers.s, with thetter getting stabbed this time round,


    things weren’t looking as rosy as before.Before she jumped, Winnie shot ast nce at Xavier. “My


    family heirloom is still with you, and I intend to get it back. You’re not going to die here, are you?”“Of


    course not!” Xavier replied as he suddenly put something around Winnie’s wrist and gave her a


    shove.In that split second, Winnie seemed to see Hugo stab Xavier again, and she could almost taste


    the blood in the air.The next thing she knew, she had hit the water with a loud ssh.For a moment,


    she was utterly disoriented and could only feel herself sinking into the murky depths of the


    sea.Thankfully, it didn’t take long before she regained her senses and swam to the surface.When she


    finally popped her head out of the water, she realized the yacht was already more than ten meters


    away from her.Even though Winnie couldn’t see anything clearly due to the poor visibility at sea, she


    still heard three consecutive sounds of heavy objects plunging into the sea.Oh, sh*t. That must be


    Xavier and his men getting thrown off the boat!Without further ado, Winnie dived back into the sea and


    swam toward the source of the sound.With the help of the pale moonlight, she saw a dark figure in front


    of her sinking rapidly, much to her horror.My goodness! Xavier’s sinking so much faster than I did! I’m


    sure those brutes must have tied weights to him. How cruel of them!Winnie mustered up all her


    strength to swim toward the yacht, and it was almost a full minuteter when she finally caught hold of


    Xavier.As expected, Xavier had metal weights around him, and Winnie had to drag him to the surface


    while untying his ropes.Needless to say, it was a monumental task. Thetter hadn’t even managed to


    untie the ropes when the two of them started sinking again.Fortunately, Winnie had hidden a small


    de in her boots which she quickly used to cut the ropes.Now that the weights were off, they finally


    stopped sinking, but another problem soon arose.Xavier seemed to have keeled over due to excessive


    blood loss, and since he couldn’t hold his breath in the water, it wouldn’t be long before he drowned.


    No, I can’t let him die now! Otherwise, all my efforts to save him would go to waste!With that, Winnie


    cupped Xavier’s face and exhaled her breath into his mouth.While doing so, she continued to kick her


    legs in an attempt to propel them upward.Suddenly, Xavier’s eyes shot open, which could only mean


    he had regained consciousness.Shortly after, Winnie felt him grabbing her wrist and pressing down on


    a button.The next second, her arm went momentarily numb as an airbag popped out from the strap


    around her wrist and pulled her toward the surface.Ah! So that’s what Xavier put on my wrist before I


    jumped! It’s an emergency airbag! What about him, though? He should also have one, shouldn’t he?


    Winnie instinctively turned around, and when she saw another airbag surfacing rapidly, she heaved a


    sigh of relief.Thank goodness things turned out the way I had hoped! This man always has a backup


    n!A few minutester, Winnie and Xavier safely surfaced one after another.Not too far away, two


    other people soon popped their heads out of the water, and Winnie guessed they must be Xavier’s


    bodyguard and driver. All in all, she was just d everyone was safe.The moon had gradually


    disappeared behind the clouds, leaving them in a sea of darkness. The yacht was also long gone, and


    without any sources of light nearby, neither Winnie nor Xavier could see each other clearly.“How are


    you feeling? Is your wound okay?” Winnie asked anxiously.“It’s not good.”“Then let me bandage it for


    you. We can’t leave it exposed to seawater,” Winnie replied as she removed her jacket and took off her


    cotton tank top. “Where’s your injury? Is it on the abdomen or somewhere else?”Since the airbag had


    freed up Winnie’s hands, it’d be easy for her to tend to Xavier’s injuries once she could pinpoint the


    location of the wounds.s, it was difficult to see in the dark, and being in the water made the task all


    the more challenging.Before Winnie knew it, she had identally touched the man somewhere


    inappropriate.Just as she was about to apologize for it, Xavier pped her hand away.“Don’t touch


    me.”Winnie did feel sorry about the idental touch, but after seeing Xavier’s rude reaction, a fresh


    swell of rage rose in her.“What the hell is wrong with you? You refused to let me touch you when I


    worked at your house as a caretaker. Now that your life is at stake, is it wrong for me to want to


    bandage your wounds? Do you think I want to touch you that badly?”Although she couldn’t see


    anything in the dark, Winnie could still feel the icy re from Xavier.Thetter suddenly snatched the


    tank top from her and wrapped it around his wounds himself. “No other woman, except my wife, is


    allowed to touch my body.”Winnie stared incredulously in the man’s direction and decided to pop the


    question that had bothered her for a while.“I honestly have no idea what you’re thinking. Your wife’s


    missing a few screws, isn’t she? You despised her and even wanted to abandon her, but you’re now


    risking your life to look for her because of some false information. Don’t you think that sounds ridiculous


    and ironic?”“Maybe,” Xavier mumbled. “But you won’t understand it.”Even I only realized it after I had


    lost her.The moment he finished speaking, they saw his driver swimming toward them.“Are you all right,


    Mr. Fairchild? A fishing boat seems to being our way, and the bodyguard’s gone to get help.”Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
