Silly Bride Chapter 191
Chapter 191
The next day, Winnie was woken up by Jacinta and Rachel’s conversation.Both of them slept earlyst
night. Hence, they woke up early in the morning.Winnie’s drowsiness disappeared after she was woken
by them. Thus, she decided to get out of bed and have breakfast with them.When Winnie was having
her oatmeal, she realized that Jacinta’s countenance seemed pale.“Granny, did you not sleep wellst
night? You have dark circles under your eyes,” she asked in concern.“Really?”As soon as Jacinta
spoke, Rachel chimed in and cut her off, “I know. Hehe, Granny sleepwalkedst night, so she didn’t
sleep well.”Winnie subconsciously nced at Jacinta and asked, “Sleepwalk? I didn’t know you
sleepwalkedst night, Granny. I was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t realize anything.”“Don’t listen to
Rach’s nonsense. I don’t have the habit of sleepwalking,” Jacinta tly denied it.She then looked at
Rachel and asked, “Why would you say that? A good girl should never lie.”“I’m not lying!” Rachel
frowned and continued, “I woke up in the middle of the nightst night to pee and walked to the balcony
by mistake.”Jacinta widened her eyes in shock. “What? Did you pee on the balcony?” she
asked.Rachel chuckled and said, “Hehe, just a little. I couldn’t hold it in anymore.”“Oh my, why didn’t
you say so earlier? I’m going to check on it!”“You should finish your breakfast first, Granny. It was
already there the whole night anyway,” Winnie advised when she saw Jacinta standing up from her
seat.Jacinta thought Winnie was right. Hence, she sat back down.Rachel was frightened when she saw
Jacinta stand up.She knew she had done something wrong and that it was not right to pee anywhere
she wanted.Thus, Rachel lowered her head and apologized softly, “Granny, Winnie, I’m sorry. I will
never do it again.”“It’s good that you know your mistake. You shouldn’t do it again, got it? I shouldn’t let
you drink milk tonight before you sleep. It must be the milk.”“Yes, it was because of the milk!” Rachel
nodded, ming the milk.Winnie looked at Rachel and found her behavior amusing. However, at the
same time, she felt sorry for thetter.They quickly moved on from what Rachel did. However, Winnie
remembered what Rachel said about Jacinta sleepwalking.If what Rachel said was true, she would
need to take Jacinta to the hospital.Winnie smiled and looked at Rachel, asking “Rach, what were you
saying just now? You said you went to the balcony to pee, and what did you see? Did you see Granny
sleepwalking?”“Yes!” Rachel nodded without hesitation. “I saw Granny, and she was on her phone on
the balcony,” she added.Jacinta’s expression changed immediately when she heard what Rachel
said.“Rach, were you dreaming? I went to bed earlyst night. Why would I be on my phone on the
balcony?”“No, I saw it. Granny was on her phone.”Jacinta shook her head and denied it. “That’s
impossible! It must be your imagination. Who could I have called in the middle of the
night?”Subsequently, she turned to Winnie, “If you don’t believe me, you can check my call history. I’m
sure I didn’t call anyonest night.”Winnie also wanted to know if Jacinta was sleepwalking. After all,
sleepwalkers usually wouldn’t remember what they did while they were sleepwalking.She took the
phone from Jacinta and checked the call history. As expected, there was no phone call recorded in the
call history.“Rach must’ve been dreamingst night,” Winnie concluded.Jacinta agreed, “Exactly. I think
she was in a dazest night. She even peed on the balcony.”As Jacinta spoke, she put a piece of fried
egg on Rachel’s te. She warned, “You’re a good girl and have to be responsible for what you said.
The bad witch wille and capture you if you talk nonsense.”Rachel blinked innocently. She didn’t
think that she was lying. However, she felt that Jacinta’s gaze was scary when thetter warned her
about the bad witch.She was so frightened that she even forgot to eat her oatmeal.Winnie lowered her
head and chewed on her bagel. She didn’t pay attention to the look on both of their faces and merely
said cursorily, “Granny, stop scaring her.”As she spoke, she hastily finished her oatmeal and added,
“I’m done. I’ll take my leave now, Granny. Call me if you need anything.”Winnie took the elevator, and
to her surprise, she bumped into Xavier as she entered the elevator.Xavier was looking at his phone
when she entered the elevator.Winnie identally saw Xavier’s phone screen from the corner of her
eyes.She thought Xavier was replying to a message on his phone in the elevator, and she certainly
didn’t expect him to be looking at the photo they had taken togetherst night.In the photo, both of
them were sitting on the couch, and there was some distance between them.After taking the photo,
Winnie edited the image and added the caption “Xavier Fairchild, the patient” beside him and another
caption “Winnie Gand, the doctor” next to herself.He even wanted to change my contact name on his
phone. Why would he keep this photo?Winnie retracted her gaze from Xavier’s phone screen and
asked, “Mr. Fairchild, do you still remember me?”“Of course, Dr. Gand,” Xavier enunciated each
word slowly.“Not bad. How is it? You look handsome in the photo, right? Is that why you are admiring
it?”“Admiring the photo? Not really,” Xavier replied. He subconsciously stroked Winnie’s face in the
photo with his thumb, then continued, “I was just about to delete the photo.”With that, he deleted the
photo right before Winnie’s eyes.She felt a tightness in her chest when she saw what Xavier did.
However, she managed to calm herself down quickly.“It’s okay. We can take another one next
time.”Xavier parted his lips, but he didn’t say anything and ignored Winnie.In fact, he was excited when
he woke up this morning, realizing that he still had memories of what had happened the previous
day.However, when he looked at the redness in his eyes in the mirror, he knew that his condition was
still not stable enough.Therefore, he still had to hide the truth before his condition waspletely
stable.Honestly, Xavier felt ufortable in an enclosed space like the elevator. He was afraid that he
would go mad and attack himself or Winnie.He felt it was necessary for him to go and see Josiah and
get some sedatives from thetter.And by “some,” he meant a ton of sedatives.Therefore, Xavier
darted out of the elevator once the door opened, as if someone was chasing him from behind.Looking
at Xavier’s behavior, Winnie couldn’t help but furrow her brows.Why is he avoiding me as if I am a
gue?Winnie had a grim expression on her face on her way to the Xander residence. It was only until
she saw Sebastian at the Xander residence that a smile bloomed on her face.Winnie stayed at the
Xander residence not only to learn from Sebastian, but also to monitor Ynda. However, Ynda had
been busy with her thesis. She didn’t do anything else, let alone go out to meet someone.Moreover,
she didn’t do anything and didn’t even look at Xavier when he came by for his acupuncture treatment
that afternoon.The situation remained the same for the following three days.Ynda didn’t do anything
suspicious and had been extremely cautious as if someone had alerted her. She also avoided spending
alone time with Xavier.The situation frustrated Winnie so much that sheined to Josiah in the
café, “Don’t you think we’re in a passive position right now? It doesn’t feel good to be a sitting
duck.”Josiah stirred his coffee as he consoled her, “Don’t be disheartened. Actually, there’s still good
news in these three days.”Winnie added four sugar cubes into her coffee, which was too bitter. “Huh?
What is the good news? Tell me. If it’s not good news to me, I will beat you to a pulp,” she joked.“Hey,
you’re too much! You can’t beat me to a pulp even if I lied to you with fake news.”Winnie sighed. She
was just messing with him just now. “Just spill it and stop wasting time,” she urged.“Fine,” Josiah said.
He adjusted his sses and smiled as he continued, “I was going to say that Xavier’s condition has
been improving after three days of acupuncture sessions.”Winnie arched a brow. “Did you bring him to
the hospital for a check-up? Isn’t it difficult to run tests on the nerves?”“Yes. But the dosage of
sedatives he’s been getting from me has decreased by the day.”“What? He’s been getting sedatives
from you for the past three days?” Winnie immediately put down her cup of coffee.“Yes.”“Why didn’t
you tell me then? Don’t you know sedatives are bad for his health?”Josiah frowned. “I know. Calm
down. I’m his doctor. Of course I’m aware of how serious the situation is. But currently, we have no
choice. Moreover, since the acupuncture sessions are proved to be effective for his condition, he would
be fully recovered if he continued his acupuncture sessions. Perhaps, soon, he won’t need any
sedatives anymore,” he exined.“I understand. But why didn’t you tell me?” Winnie leaned back
against her seat as she spoke.“I didn’t want you to be worried. I heard from Old Mr. Xander that you
were studying traditional medicine hard these days. As you know, I grew up with Xavier. He’s my best
friend. And you, Winnie, you are the one he risked his life to protect. Not only that, but you are also my
friend. I don’t want to see both of you crumble under pressure.”“I know.” Winnie raised the cup of coffee
to her lips and took a sip. “I’m going to call the toxicologyboratory in Yartran tonight to urge them.
Hopefully, the result will be released soon,” she said.“Didn’t I tell you not to urge them? Let’s wait
patiently. They told you that the result will be released in theing days, right? It should be released
soon,” Josiah advised Winnie.Winnie nodded, “I know. But I still think it’s better to give them a call and
tell them to hurry up.”“Oh, by the way.” Josiah suddenly recalled something. “Did you notice Ynda’s
habit when she goes in and out of her room?” he asked.“What habit?”“It’s strange. She doesn’t step out
of the Xander residence and only moves around in the house. But, I happened to notice her peculiar
behavior one time. She was only going to the studyst time, but even so, she locked the door of her
room and carried the key in her pocket. It’s like there’s a shocking secret hidden in her room.”“That
happened?” Winnie sat up straight when she heard what Josiah said. “I didn’t notice that detail. But if
everything you said was true, a secret must be hidden in her room. We have to devise a n to get into
her room,” she said.Josiah thought the same thing. “I agree. However, we must first devise a n and
get Old Mr. Xander and Ynda out of the house. After all, we can’t break into the room right before
their eyes like a robber, can we?”Winnie frowned. “But Ynda is cautious. I wanted to bring them out
for a mealst time, but she declined. Since she didn’t want to go, Master also declined my
invitation.”“Hmph, looks like…” Josiah narrowed his eyes and dragged his voice deliberately before he
continued, “Looks like I’ll have to take matters into my own hands. Let me devise a n.”“What n?”“I
haven’t devised one yet. I’ll let you know when I’vee up with a n. Don’t worry, leave the matter
to me. No matter what, you should still bring Xavier over for his acupuncture session tomorrow as
usual.”“Fine.” Winnie raised her cup of coffee and toasted with Josiah before she teased, “It’s your time
to shine. Do it well, and don’t make meugh at you.”The next day, Josiah had everything
prepared.Xavier also went to get his acupuncture treatment as usual.By then, Winnie could already
perform acupuncture on him without the help of others.Before she was making preparations for the
session, Josiah had told her that he had prepared everything and would get Ynda out of the house
after twenty minutes.On the other hand, Winnie spent around ten minutes performing acupuncture on
Xavier.When she walked out of the room, she looked through the window and saw Ynda leaving the
house in her car.Right then, Josiah was standing beside her.“Did your n begin ten minutes earlier
than expected?” Winnie asked casually.Josiah’s furrowed his brows and murmured, “It’s impossible. It’s
not time yet. They won’t begin the n without my instructions.”“Then go find out what happened!”“All
right. I’ll go find out now.”Half a minuteter, Josiah’s face fell as he spoke. “It was not my men. She
went out on her own.”Winnie consoled Josiah when she saw thetter’s darkened expression, “It’s
okay. I have asked people to follow her, and I’m sure they won’t lose her. It’s rare for her to leave the
house. So, I wanted to follow her personally. As for you, you’ll stick to the n and go into her room
and have a look.”“No way!” Josiah declined without hesitation. “I’m sure Ynda has aplices. You
could be in danger if you follow her alone. As a man, I can’t let you take such a risk!”“Okay then!”
Winnie quickly pondered and said, “Two heads are better than one. You should wait for me in the car.
I’ll meet you after bidding goodbye to Master.”Then, Winnie approached Sebastian and told him she
had to leave as something urgent hade up. After that, she entered the doctor’s office.By then,
Xavier had fallen asleep.Though he exuded a strong aura when he was awake, he looked like a docile
puppy when he was asleep.The dark and thickshes above his eyes cast a shadow on his face like an
embellishment, which would leave anyone jealous of his charming face.“Xavier, oh, Xavier.” Winnie
gently caressed Xavier’s cheek. “I must’ve owed you in my past life.”With that, she lowered her head to
nt a kiss on his lips.Once Winnie left the room, Xavier opened his eyes.He raised his hand to touch
his lips and then sat up from the bed.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
