Silly Bride Chapter 75
Chapter 75
Since the bodyguard had opened up an opportunity for Winnie to rescind her request, she changed her
tune. “Ah, I’m sorry, Handsome. I forgot your leg’s injured. I don’t want you to carry me anymore. How
about I carry you instead?”As she spoke, she bent down in front of Xavier.He patted her head. There
was a look of affection, joy of regaining something precious back, and possessiveness in his eyes.
“There’s no way you can carry me on your back, Dumbo.”“Then I’ll help you walk!” Winnie couldn’t bear
to let him carry her with a broken leg, so she reluctantly decided to be nice to him.“What should we do
with him, Mr. Fairchild?” The bodyguard pointed at Hayden.Xavier’s ncended on Winnie first
before he said, “Teach him a lesson that he’ll never forget. The rest will wait after we leave the
ind.”“Understood!” The bodyguard promptly dragged Hayden to a remote location.With Winnie’s and
the driver’sbined help, Xavier was able to leave the beach.The driver directly sent him and Winnie
to the local hospital.Initially, she didn’t want to visit the doctor, but Xavier insisted. Additionally, when
the doctor was giving her a checkup, he was guarding the door outside. Despite his severe leg injury,
he refused to go first.It wasn’t until the result of her check-up had been released that his tightly
furrowed eyebrows rxed.Winnie acted pitifully when she saw him. “My shoulder is in pain,
Handsome. I want you to blow my pain away.”Basically, she wanted him to blow on her injury as though
she was a child ying house.Even though it was childish, Xavier went along with it without hesitation
after the look in his eyes darkened. “Okay, I’ll do that after we go back.”Winnie stared at him
silently. Something’s not right. When I teased him in the past, he’d at least try to hold himself back.
Now, it seems like he has changed, as though he had been freed from an invisible shackle.“Are you
feeling pain anywhere else?” He gripped her hand tightly and focused all his attention on her face.With
a silly smile, she shook her head. “No. The doctor said I’m fine.”“Good.” Xavier gently touched her face.
“It seems like Hayden didn’t do much to you.”What he said sounded really weird to her, even though
there didn’t seem to be anything off about the statement on the surface.“Now it’s your turn to have your
leg examined, Handsome.” Winnie hugged his arm and tried to push his wheelchair into the emergency
room from earlier.He smiled. “I need to go to the orthopedics department to treat my broken leg, silly.
When I go inside for a checkup, just wait outside and don’t go anywhere else, okay?”Her eyes sparkled
as she nodded. “Okay!”After arriving at the orthopedics department, the driver was going to apany
Xavier. However, he was asked to leave the room by thetter.“I want you to keep a close eye on her.
Get a nurse to follow her if she goes into the restroom,” Xavier ordered.Winnie did need to relieve
herself. So, soon after he went into the doctor’s office, she went to the restroom.Before she returned,
Xavier’s bodyguard arrived.It was then Xavier exited the room because he needed to go for an X-ray
soon.When the bodyguard saw his employer, he immediately approached him.“How’s Hayden?” Xavier
asked.“He told me everything, including things that he probably shouldn’t.” Since the information was
pretty private, the bodyguard bent down and whispered into his employer’s ear. “Mrs. Fairchild… She
was bought by the Briggs family two days ago. It matches the information Calvert gave us. It seems like
he’s not lying to us on that part. Also, ording to Hayden, he had already…” The bodyguard found it
difficult to finish the sentence.As Xavier’s eyebrows furrowed, he had a pretty good guess of what the
bodyguard was saying. With a darkened expression, he urged, “Continue.” A troubled look was visible
on the bodyguard’s face as he continued, “H-He said he had slept with her. Not only that, he often
treated her violently. Two of her fingers were broken, and there are injuries on her legs.”“Her fingers
were broken, and there are injuries on her legs?” Xavier frowned. “What about her shoulder? Did he
mention an injury on the shoulder?”“That…” The bodyguard pondered and replied, “No, he
didn’t.”“Aside from the Briggs family, did anyone on the ind see the mentally disabled wife Hayden
bought?”“No. ording to Hayden, he had been keeping her in the house since he bought her. When
people asked about her, he would say she was introduced by a matchmaker. So, the inders should
have never seen her face before until today on the beach.”“Okay, got it.” Xavier tapped his finger on his
knees instinctively as he fell into deep thought. Dumbo didn’t have any other injuries aside from the one
on her shoulder, though. There were no signs of her fingers being broken.“Also, I’ve set up a new
phone on my way back here, Mr. Fairchild. Do you want to give Mr. Tanser a call?”“Yes.”The call soon
connected. Louis immediately knew it was from Xavier. “Hello? Is that you, Mr. Fairchild? Are you all
right?”“Yes, it’s me. I’m all right.” Xavier put the phone next to his ear. “There was a minor incidentst
night, and we had to board a fishing vessel. Are you all still on the sea?”“Yes. I arrived at theN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
destination on time, but I still didn’t see you or anyone else when the ship left. I was worried that
something had happened to you, so I’ve been looking around. Someone called for the coast guard
because they were on the move, but I don’t know who. However, they didn’t find anything, so I thought
something had happened to you. Where are you right now? Do I need to send someone to pick you
up?”“No need.” Xavier ordered, “All you need to do is cooperate with the coast guard to look for me. If
they can’t find my body within forty-eight hours, they’ll dere me missing. During that period, you just
need to keep a close eye on Fairchild Corporation and report everything Stuart and Zyon do to
me.”“So, you’re saying we should use this opportunity to bait them?”“That’s right. Just do as I say. Also,
Calvert is a mole. If you find him, tell me where he is.”“Detective Wood is someone working under
Zyon’s family?” That revtion shocked Louis. “What about Mrs. Fairchild? Do I need to send more
people to find her?”“No need. Just do what I said earlier.”Once the call ended, Xavier didn’t
immediately go to the X-ray room. Instead, he sat in his wheelchair and waited for Winnie’s return.His
appearance and demeanor were so exceptional that just by sitting there, with a wooden board attached
to his calf, he was able to attract a lot of attention, especially from thedies.The moment Winnie left
the restroom, she saw a pretty young woman asking him for his contact number.Thus, she stood and
watched the scene y out silently. I’m curious about what he’ll do. In the past, he refused to let
Yulissa or me, when I was ying as his caretaker, touch him. He said he would only let his wife touch
him. Now that a young, prettydy is asking him for his contact when his wife isn’t around, how will he
deal with this?Secondster, she saw Xavier close his eyes coldly and ignore the woman. He didn’t
even utter a phrase or a word of rejection.It wasn’t hurtful, but it was humiliating.The young woman
didn’t want to give up as she coquettishly showed him her QR code. “Come on, handsome. It’s just
WhatsApp. Don’t worry. I absolutely won’t disturb—”Before she could finish her sentence, he pped
her phone to the ground.Winnie was baffled. He’s still the same guy I remember. Back when I tried to
take off his shirt while pretending as a caretaker, he pped me. Guess now I know what “keeping
oneself pure” means.
