Silly Bride Chapter 183
Chapter 183
That night, Ynda finally had the chance to meet with Nate before Winnie managed to track her
whereabouts.Ynda spent a night at Nate’s condominium before heading home early the next
morning.When she went back, Sebastian was still fast asleep.Therefore, Ynda stole Sebastian’s
silver needles while the old man was asleep.Subsequently, she took out the bottle of medicine Nate
gave her and smeared it on each silver needle evenly.After waiting for all the medicinal liquid on the
needles to dry, Ynda ced the acupuncture kit back into Sebastian’s luggage.She didn’t know what
the medicine was for, and nor did she ask Nate. After all, thetter had promised that the medicine
wasn’t life-threatening.It was enough for her to know that the medicine was not deadly.That Xavier guy
is doomed. It’s Nate we’re talking about, after all. I don’t have many enemies, but I don’t mind going
against the world for Nate. Xavier is nothing in my eyes.That morning, when Winnie awoke, she was
relieved to finally see a sleeping Xavier.The man was no longer wide-awake but was instead sleeping
soundly. Judging by his slow, even breathing, he seemed to be in deep slumber.Although most of his
memories had not recovered yet, Winnie was satisfied to see him finally get some shut-eye.Recovery
was a slow and long process, after all. Since acupuncture was effective, she believed he would recover
as long as they continued the treatment.With that in mind, Winnie was in a good mood. She left the
room and went to make breakfast for the two of them.Just as she was frying the eggs, she felt
someone hugging her from behind.She knew that it was Xavier. “Oh, you’re awake. Did you have a
good sleepst night?”“I slept great, but I didn’t get to see you when I woke up. How can you do this to
me? Did I allow you to get out of bed?”Upon hearing that, Winnie elbowed him. “I can’t believe you
have the audacity to ask me this. How about I ask you why you’re awake when I haven’t allowed you to
do so?” After saying that, she pried his arms off her and instructed, “I’ve finished frying the eggs. Since
I’ve been busy the entire morning, I’m now going to freshen up and do my skincare. As for you, your
job is to ce all the food on the dining table and wait for me. Understand?”Immediately, Xavier’s face
darkened. “Are you asking me to do all of this?”“What? Is it that difficult to do things for
me?”“No.”“What’s the problem, then?”“But I’m going to miss you.” Xavier did not allow Winnie to leaveMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
and hugged her again. “I don’t want you to leave my line of sight!”Winnie was amused. “It’s just going
to take a few minutes for me to freshen up. Why are you so clingy?”“Am I?” Xavier furrowed his
eyebrows, inching his handsome face toward Winnie. “Weren’t you more clingy when we first got
married? You would want me to hug you when you’re in the restroom. I even had to feed you too. Well?
Do you want me to feed youter?”“All right. You win.” I must admit that I was a lot worse than him
when I was acting dumb back then. In fact, he’s nothingpared to me!Despite Xavier’sints,
he obediently released Winnie and scooped a bowl of oatmeal. While doing so, he asked, “Do you want
some sugar in it?”“No need. I prepared some side dishes as well. I feel like eating something savory for
breakfast today.” Winnie caressed the man’s hair smilingly as a reward.I wonder if he would still
remember the moments we share now when he recovers his memories—the needy, awkward, yet
adorable moments of our daily lives.After breakfast, Xavier wanted to bring Winnie to thepany as
usual.However, Winnie rejected him as it had been days since shest visited Jacinta. Thus, she
wanted to head to Aqua Moana to check on the old woman.Right after visiting Jacinta, she still needed
to head to Sebastian’s ce to continue studying medicine.Although Xavier was somewhat reluctant,
he did not stop her.I’m not sure if it’s my imagination or if the acupuncture is working its magic, but this
fellow’s temper seems better aspared to a few days ago.However, when Winnie arrived at Aqua
Moana, she found out that Jacinta was not home.To her dismay, Jacinta did not pick up any of her calls
either.Feeling anxious, Winnie quickly went outside and nned to get the management staff to check
the surveince cameras.Just when she was out the door, Jacinta suddenly called her.Winnie
immediately picked up the phone. “Hello, Granny. I’m back at home. Why are you not at home? Where
are you right now? What? You’re in the hospital? Do you feel unwell? Why did you go to the hospital?
Oh. You’re there to visit a patient? Who is that person? I’ve never heard you mention this before.
Hello? Granny, it seems like your signal is a bit weak. Could you go somewhere else to take the call? I
can’t hear you.” As soon as Winnie finished her sentence, the call ended.She was about to call Jacinta
back when Josiah suddenly phoned her.At once, she picked up the phone. “Is something the
matter?”Josiah could almost sense how anxious Winnie was. “Are you busy? It’s nothing much. I just
want to inform you that I saw your grandmother in the hospital just now. She was here alone. Did you
know that?”Upon hearing that, Winnie was stunned. “I just knew about it too. Her phone’s signal was
weak, so the call ended halfway. She said she was there to visit a patient, but I don’t know who
exactly.”“Oh. So that’s what happened. I was right, then. I saw her pushing a female patient into the
restroom just now. I wanted to say hello, but I couldn’t as they had entered thedies restroom.”“What?
Who’s the female patient? Do you know her?”“I do know her. She’s Rachel Zimmerman. I think she’s
staying in the hospital because she lost a lot of blood during her abortion due to her endometrium lining
being quite thin.”“Okay.” Winnie heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll go and look for her right now. Her phone is
still turned off. I think she identally clicked on the power-off button. When you see herter, please
inform her to stay put and refrain from going anywhere else.”“I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely get the
job done.”After hanging up the phone, Winnie rushed to the hospital immediately.When she arrived at
Rachel’s ward, Jacinta was peeling an apple for Rachel.Meanwhile, Rachel was peeling an orange.
When she was done, she fed Jacinta a piece of orange. “Here. Eat some. It’s very sweet.”“Oh, it’s okay,
honey. I’m not too fond of sweet things because my teeth are too weak. You should eat them
instead.”When Winnie saw that, she stopped in her tracks outside the ward.The scene was too familiar
to her.Many years ago, when she was still a dumb girl, her grandmother would always talk to her like
that.Whenever there was good food, Winnie would always be the first person who Jacinta thought of.In
fact, Winnie knew that Jacinta was lying whenever thetter said her teeth were weak and she couldn’t
eat anything sweet.Granny has a sweet tooth after all. She refuses to eat because she loves me. Thus,
she wanted me to have the delicacies all to myself. Initially, Winnie did not understand why Jacinta
came all the way to the hospital to visit Rachel.However, it all made sense to her now.When Winnie
was helping Rachel and Michael previously, she brought Jacinta with her to meet the duo.
Unexpectedly, Jacinta felt bad for Rachel the moment she met her.I guess Granny was reminded of my
younger self when she saw Rachel.When Winnie was about to enter the ward, Michael’s voice rang
behind her.“Ms. Gand! Why are you here?”Initially, both Jacinta and Rachel did not notice Winnie.
However, Michael’s greeting caused Jacinta to turn around immediately.“Winnie, when did you get
here? Why didn’t you tell me you wereing?”Rachel, who was on the hospital bed, slowly turned
around to look at Winnie.As she was a bit dense, she only recognized Winnie when thetter walked
closer to her.“Winnie.” Rachel smiled sweetly and handed her a piece of orange. “Do you want to eat
some oranges? It’s very sweet.”“No need. You can have them, Rach.”Actually, Winnie was younger
than Rachel.However, as Rachel was mentally challenged, she always treated Winnie as her older
sister, and Winnie decided to let her be.Jacinta sat Winnie down and startedining, “Honestly,
why didn’t you tell me in advance you’reing back home? If you told me, I would’ve waited for you
at home, and you won’t have to go through the trouble ofing all the way to the hospital.”“It’s not
troublesome at all, Granny.”“Actually, we are the ones who troubled you,” said Michael guiltily when he
heard that. “Mdm. Sumner helped us a lot during the past two days in the hospital. She even sent Rach
some soup. We’re very thankful, Ms. Gand, Mdm. Sumner.”“Oh, you don’t have to thank me. I’m only
doing this as Rach reminds me of my granddaughter when she was young. They are both
adorable.”“Mdm. Sumner, you’re way too kind. There’s no way someone would find Rach adorable.
Even I, as her parent, am saddened by her state.”Jacinta sighed andforted him, “Everything will
get better.”“You’re right. I’m sure of it.” Michael ended the topic and turned to ask Winnie, “I suddenly
remembered something. Ms. Gand, were you able to find Old Mr. Xander in Yaleview?”“We
managed to find him. Thank you for giving us clues about him. Old Mr. Xander is currently using
acupuncture to treat Xavier.”“That’s great to hear. However, why did youe back? Old Mr. Xander
used to treat Rach before, so I know acupuncture takes a long time. It takes a few sessions of
treatment for it to be effective, after all. Since both of you are back, don’t you need to travel back and
forth for the treatment? This isn’t convenient for Old Mr. Xander to monitor Xavier’s condition.”“There’s
no need to worry. He returned to Avenport with us this time, so we don’t need to travel to Yaleview for
the time being.”“Really? Do you know where he lives now and if it’s convenient for him to meet us? He
moved away right after treating Rach. Although I knew that he moved to Yaleviewter on, I never had
the time to go over and thank him. If he has time, I would like to bring Rach over to personally thank
him. There’s also an item that I need to return to him. It’s a watch that Old Mr. Xander identally left
in our house. Could you please ask him for us?”“All right.” Winnie nodded. “I’ll give him a call to ask
about it.”If they’re only going to visit, Old Mr. Xander might not agree to it. However, Mr. Zimmerman
said he has something to return to him, which makes things different.Immediately, Winnie walked out of
the ward and gave Sebastian a call.When she exined to him about the situation, Sebastian
immediately remembered the watch.“Ah, that’s the watch my wife gave me before she passed away.
It’s been missing for years. Oh, I see. It turns out I had identally left it in a patient’s house. That’s
great news for me. I didn’t expect to find the watch again after so many years. Where are the both of
you right now? I’lle over.”“There’s no need to trouble you. They’re going to be discharged soon, so
why don’t I arrange a ce close to your house for all of us to meet?”“All right, but there’s no need to
go through all the hassle. All of you can juste over to my house. Oh, right. Don’t forget to bring
your husband over for his acupuncture treatment.”“Rest assured. I won’t forget about it.”After hanging
up the call, Winnie immediately informed Michael about this news.At that, Michael heaved a sigh of
relief. “That’s great to hear! I’ve been holding onto this watch for many years. As it seemed expensive, I
brought it with me wherever I went. I’m d I can finally return it to its rightful owner so I won’t have to
worry about losing it anymore.”That afternoon, Winnie brought the father-and-daughter duo of the
Zimmerman family to visit Sebastian at the agreed time.The person who opened the door was
Ynda.She opened the door halfway and instantly furrowed her brows when she saw Winnie and the
Zimmermans.“What’s wrong? Did your husband give up on treatment?”Winnie ignored Ynda’s harsh
words, asking, “Didn’t Master tell you there would be visitors today?”Naturally, Ynda was informed
about it. “Come on in.” Opening the door, she stepped away to make space for them.When Michael
saw Sebastian, he was over the moon and hastily tugged at Rachel’s arm, urging his daughter to kneel
with him to show gratitude.However, Sebastian wouldn’t let them do that. Thus, the trio spent some
time squabbling before Michael gave up.After sincerely thanking Sebastian, Michael wanted to return
the watch to him. Thus, Sebastian brought him to the study.Meanwhile, Winnie and Ynda brought
Rachel over to the living room.Rachel was easy to please, for she would feel satisfied with just
snacks.As a polite “child,” she would thank Winnie after receiving the snacks.Winnie was also very
patient around Rachel. She would treat her tenderly, concealing the overbearing aura that she usually
gave off.When Ynda saw such a different side of Winnie, she narrowed her eyes. “I’ve looked up
some information about you on the inte. It’s rumored that you were just like her when you were
younger. Is that true?”Although Winnie felt that Ynda had ulterior motives when she asked that
question, the former did not have any evidence to prove it. “What do you think?”Ynda sneered. “You
must be a miracle in the medical field, then. What have you done in your past life to transform from a
dumbass into a genius?”“What do you mean by that?” Winnie arched an eyebrow at her. “Are you
jealous?”“Haha! There’s no need for me to be jealous of you. It’s pointless talking to someone who I
don’t get along with, so I’ll take my leave. The both of you can make yourselves at home,” Ynda
replied indifferently before leaving.Winnie thought Ynda was returning to her room when in reality,
Ynda had ducked into a temporary doctor’s office Sebastian had set up.When Xavier arrived,
Sebastian would perform acupuncture on him in the doctor’s office.In that room, Ynda did not only
tamper with the needles but had also set up multiple hypnosis equipment for her to make her move.
