Silly Bride Chapter 189
Chapter 189
Right after Winnie pushed open the door and entered the room, she caught a whiff of bone broth.At
that moment, Jacinta and Rachel were sitting on the couch chatting.Seeing that Winnie was back,
Jacinta immediately turned around.“You’re home! The casserole and the brisket are not cooked yet.
Are you hungry? You have to wait for a while until the meal is ready. You can have some soup first if
you are hungry.”“Granny, I’m not hungry. I can wait.” Winnie walked over and sat across from
them.ncing at Rachel with a smile, she shifted her gaze to Jacinta and asked, “What’re you guys
talking about?”“What else can we talk about?” Jacinta frowned and continued, “Except for Xavier, I
suppose there’s no one who will harm Rach. I’m teaching Rach how to protect herself.”Jacinta had a
prejudice against Xavier and always thought he had bad intentions.“Now that Xavier mistakes Rach for
his wife, it’s a very serious matter. What if he takes advantage of Rach? Aren’t you aware that Rach
has just had an abortion? If he takes advantage of Rach and does something bad to her, it will cause
serious damage to Rach, both physically and mentally!”Winnie frowned. In fact, she had thought of the
issue that Jacinta mentioned.She pinched the middle of her brows and replied, “Well, that’s likely, which
is why I let Rach live in our house for the time being. That is to prevent them from spending time alone.
Actually, he has never hurt me in the past. If Rach objects to it, I suppose he won’t force her.”“Do you
think Rach canpare to you? You were just disguising yourself as a mentally-challenged person in
the past. When you were in danger, you could solve the problem on your own. Rach, on the other
hand, is seriously mentally-challenged. That’s different. Enough of that! You don’t have to concern
yourself with this anymore. Can you check if the food is ready yet? Make sure the brisket is not
overcooked.”Winnie, who failed to join in the conversation, got up and headed toward the kitchen.As
she walked away, she heard Jacinta lecturing Rachel, telling thetter to keep some distance from all
men except for her father. The old woman told her that if a man touched her, she had to cry for help. In
a worst-case scenario, she could even punch and kick the man to defend herself.Hearing that, Winnie
couldn’t help chuckling.Well, that’s indeed a good way for Rachel to defend herself from Xavier.Winnie
received a call from Josiah not long after the meal.“Ms. Gand, how did it go? Have you finished the
home-cooked meal prepared by your grandmother?”Winnie held the dishes in one hand and her phone
in the other.“Did you install a surveince camera in my house? How did you know if I have finished
eating?”“It’s okay! Just leave everything to me. You can get busy with your work.” Seeing that Winnie
was talking on the phone, Jacinta stopped her from cleaning the table.Winnie nodded and ceased
cleaning up. She then spoke to Josiah on the phone.“I guess you have eaten as well. Have you fixed
the time and ce for the meetup with Xavier?”“Yes! I’m waiting for you now.”“Where is it? Lagune
Mansion or Aqua Moana?”“Aqua Moana.”“That’s great. In that case, I don’t have to rush. Just a
moment. I’ll be right there in five minutes.”After saying that, Winnie hung up the phone. She then
informed Jacinta about it and went upstairs.The moment she walked out of the elevator, she saw
Josiah.Curious, Winnie asked, “What’re you standing at the door for? Why didn’t you get inside?”“I’ve
just reached.” Josiah continued to exin with a smile, “I thought you would be here soon, so I’ve been
waiting for you. We can go inside together, so Xavier won’t have to open the door one more
time.”Hearing that, Winnie was left speechless. She ignored him and lifted her chin, gesturing for the
man to press the doorbell.The doorbell rang a few times before Xavier came over to open the
door.When the door opened, Xavier scooted aside and allowed Josiah to get inside first.After that, he
narrowed his eyes at Winnie. “What a coincidence! We meet again,” he eximed.“Yeah.” Winnie took
a nce at him and replied, “Fate has brought us together, hasn’t it?” Xavier grunted in response. He
let Winne walk through the door. Staring at her back, he asked, “How’s your husband? Has he
recovered from his illness yet?”Josiah, who had just entered the unit, almost tripped and fell when he
heard that.Winnie, on the other hand, turned around and scrutinized Xavier.With a faint smile, she
replied, “Well, there’s been no sign of improvement.”Josiah frowned. “What’s with this? Are you two
putting up an act?”He then asked Xavier in disbelief, “Do you know who her husband is?“No.” Xavier
nced at Winnie and raised his eyebrows. “Why? Do I need to know it?”Josiah was speechless.“Well,
here’s what happened…” Seeing that Josiah was befuddled, Winnie took the initiative to enlighten him.
“He has forgotten who I am again. Earlier, when I returned to the residential area, we bumped into each
other and had an idle chat. I told him that my husband is sick.”Josiah was stunned for a moment. “He
forgot again? This is really driving me crazy. Why does it feel like we’re filming a movie?”As he
grumbled, a meow suddenly sounded in the house. Following that, a white cat walked out gracefully
from behind the couch.Josiah wasn’t surprised by that. “Xavier, is this your cat?”“Yes. Its name is Little
Winnie. Dumbo likes cats.”Winnie was confused as she had never mentioned that she liked cats. Did
Rachel tell him that? Also, why is it called Little Winnie? Why didn’t he name it Little Xavier?All of a
sudden, she felt irritated. “I don’t like cats. Hurry up and cut to the chase.”“Yeah, we should cut to the
chase.” Josiah added, “Let’s put the trivial matters aside first.”Josiah told Xavier that they had found
hypnotic incense in the calming incense.Following that, he asked, “So, we suspect that it’s Ynda
who might have hypnotized you. Did shee to you when you were treated with acupuncture? Do
you have any recollection?”“Let me think about it,” Xavier responded casually.His eyes were fixed on
the calming incense that Josiah had brought along.Josiah sensed his gaze and couldn’t help
frowning.“What’s the problem? Is something wrong with this thing?”Xavier had a frown on his face as
he replied, “That Ynda is really stupid. Why didn’t she dispose of her things aftermitting the
deed? Where did you guys get this from?”“Dr. Gand found it in the trash.” Taking a nce at Winnie,
Josiah turned to Xavier and said, “She has rummaged through a row of trash cans to find it. Dr.
Gand has gone all out to help you. You can’t forget her again!”Trash can?” Xavier’s frown grew
deeper. When he thought of the filthy and unhygienic scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed
Winnie’s hand before he knew it.Winnie was startled, but she didn’t retract her hand as she had long
ustomed to holding his hand.That said, she furrowed her brows. “What’re you doing?”Xavier acted
as if nothing had happened and let go of Winnie. He then responded indifferently, “It’s a pity that you
had to dirty your pretty hands. If your husband knew about this, he would be heartbroken.”In fact, he
desperately wanted to tell the woman before him that he had already known that he was hypnotized by
Ynda, and that he didn’t forget about her.The fact that he ended uping round in the doctor’s
office was because he heard the ticking of a watch. At first, he did mistake Rachel for Winnie.However,
when he inadvertently heard the sound made by his own watch, he slowly regained consciousness.
Right after that, he began to notice the confusion in his memory.Even at this point, Rachel’s face would
still ovep with Winnie’s from time to time.Whenever the two faces ovepped each other, he would
experience a severe headache. It felt simr to when he was maniacal back then.He didn’t want hisMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
memory confusion and the possible eruption of insanity to hurt her. Besides, he was unsure what he
would be like when he woke up the next morning.Therefore, although he wanted to tell her badly, he
didn’t intend to reveal the truth to Winnie and Josiah for the time being.Nevertheless, his heart still
ached for her. Her hands are too delicate to rummage through the trash. I will definitely gain revenge
on Ynda and the person behind all this.
