Silly Bride Chapter 193
Chapter 193
Not only that, but the ce looked as though it had been ransacked.“Could it be a break-in?” Josiah
spected as he pulled open the door.However, the door was still perfectly locked. It didn’t look as if
anyone had forced their way into the house.“What exactly happened? The door is fine, though.” Josiah
tried to push the door forcefully from another direction, but the door still wouldn’t budge.“Let me try.
Master once told me that the password is Harrison’s birthday,” Winnie said as she stopped Josiah in
time.“His grandson’s birthday? Do you know when it is?”Winnie furrowed her brows. “Don’t rush me. I
need to think.”With that, she closed her eyes and tried digging through her memories.Soon, a series of
numbers popped up in her mind.She quickly keyed in the numbers on the lock pad. As expected, the
door opened with a click.After that, they immediately went to check on Sebastian’s condition.Seeing
that his breathing andplexion were normal, Winnie breathed a sigh of relief.“This doesn’t look like
a sudden illness. There isn’t any external injury to Master’s brain either. But why did he faint out of the
blue?” she asked while pinching Sebastian’s philtrum acupoint.Not long after that, Sebastian’s eyelids
moved a little.“It’s working! Continue doing it, but a little harder this time,” Josiah said.Winnie did as he
said. A few momentster, Sebastian opened his eyes.Everything looked blurry to Sebastian for a few
seconds before he could focus normally, and he could finally see Winnie and Josiah in front of
him.“Nini… You’re back! H-Hurry! Go check on Xavier!”“What happened to him?” Winnie was shocked
to hear what Sebastian said. She couldn’t believe that she had forgotten about Xavier because all she
thought about was Sebastian’s condition.“Here…” Sebastian said wearily as he took out a thin
syringe.Josiah recognized the item with just one look. “I gave him this tranquilizer. Why do you have
it?”Sebastian stood up slowly with Winnie’s help. “There was a little ident when I removed the
needles from him. In the end, it triggered the nerves in his brain. After that, he had a rpse and
started to be aggressive. Even then, he had strong self-control. He gave me this tranquilizer and
asked me to inject him with it. At that time, I almost injected all the medication into his body, but who
would’ve thought he would go berserk at thest second? He grabbed the syringe from my hand and
injected thest few bits of the medication into my body. After that, he started messing up the entire
ce. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn’t move because of the tranquilizer. If you hadn’te, I
wouldn’t know how long I would have continued lying unconscious on the ground.”Winnie’s expression
changed after she heard that.However, she was still able to think logically. “Usually, when someone in a
frenzied state rushes out of the room, there’s no way he will close the door behind him. But the door
was perfectly locked when we came in, so he should still be here. Master, please sit down and rest. I’ll
look for him with Josiah.”“Go on! Don’t worry about me. I’m sober now.”“Okay,” Winnie said before she
dashed toward the consultation room.The room was small, so she didn’t leave any spots unchecked.
Even so, there was still no sign of Xavier.Suddenly, Josiah shouted from another room, “Winnie! I found
him! He’s here!”“Where?” Immediately, she ran out.“Here!”He knew that he was in Ynda’s room, but
he had to pretend that he didn’t know so that Sebastian wouldn’t suspect anything.What will Old Mr.
Xander think of me if I said I’m in Ynda’s room and if he knows I’ve been watching Ynda’s every
move?However, Sebastian was oblivious to Josiah’s concerns.He pointed Winnie in a specific direction
when he saw her walking out of the consultation room.“It’s right in front. Ynda’s room is next to the
study. Hurry!”The next moment, Winnie rushed toward Ynda’s room.Other than wanting to see how
Xavier was doing, she was thinking about something else.She had wanted to get rid of Ynda from
Sebastian at the same time so that she could search Ynda’s room, but who would’ve thought that
she would enter Ynda’s room with Josiah like that?Things didn’t go as Josiah had nned in the
early morning.Ynda had locked her door from the outside, so logically, no one could open it without a
key.But now, the lock was broken, and the room was a mess too.Anyone could tell the mess was
Xavier’s doing with a nce.Winnie sighed as she approached Xavier and touched his forehead. “How
is he? Is he all right?”“He’s fine. A situation like this is normal for him. I guess he’ll wake up after he
sleeps for a few hours. I just hope there won’t be any more problems with his brain after he wakes up.
We’ll talkter. Let’s bring him outside first. We can’t let him continue to sleep in Ynda’s room,”
Josiah said as he put Xavier on his shoulders.Winnie agreed and grabbed Xavier’s other arm as she
helped Josiah support Xavier’s weight.Soon, both of them got Xavier on the couch in the living room,
and Sebastian quickly felt Xavier’s pulse.“His pulse is gentle and steady. I think the tranquilizer is
working. Let him rest for a while. Give him some medication once he wakes up.”“Okay. Master, howMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
about I clean up the ce with Josiah since Xavier has made a mess, especially Ms. Xander’s room?
The lock is broken. I’ll get someone to change a new lockter. As for the medicine, we have it at
home, so I think it should be fine if I give it to Xavier after we get home,” Winnie said after exchanging a
nce with Josiah.“That’s a great idea. I’ll leave this ce to you two. I’m still a little unwell, so I’ll go
back to my room to rest now,” Sebastian replied.“I’ll help you.”“That won’t be necessary. I can get into
my room by myself. Just let me know when you leave.”After Sebastian returned to his room, Winnie
and Josiah immediately walked into Ynda’s room.Even after the two of them searched all over
Ynda’s room for a long time, they still couldn’t find anything else suspicious. All they could find was a
small box of hypnotic incense.They had already found out about the hypnotic incense, so they weren’t
shocked to find it.Josiah started cursing out of irritation after he rummaged through the closets and
couldn’t find anything.“I’m sure she’s hiding something in this room. But where? Must we dig the
ground to find it?” he asked while stamping his foot.Although what Josiah was doing looked like a futile
move, Winnie didn’t stop him. What if she’s really hiding something underneath the ground?When
Winnie considered whether she should knock on the walls, her phone suddenly rang.She took it out
and saw that it was Ynda’s phone number.Furrowing her brows, she picked up the phone.“Hello?
What’s the matter?”Ynda chuckled bitterly. “Drop the act! You were the one who threw stones at me
and punctured my tire, weren’t you? Are you ying pretend?”“If you really have to put it this way, I can
only tell you that I didn’t puncture your tire.”Ynda continued to chuckle coldly. “Hah! So, you admit it.
Just you wait. I’ll expose you in front of Grandpa once I’m home. I’ll let him know how his favorite
student treats his granddaughter.” Winnie frowned. “So, do you admit that you hypnotized
Xavier?”Ynda was silent for a while before she continued, “That’s nonsense.”Winnie smirked.
“Hmph! Very well. I know what you mean now.”“Oh? Why don’t you tell me what you understood?”“It’s
meaningless. You’ve never been cooperative, so there’s no need for us to continue talking,” Winnie
said and hung up instantly.Josiah had stopped stamping on the ground when Winnie answered the call
because he didn’t want to disturb her.Once Winnie hung up, he asked, “What is Ynda up to by
calling you?”“She wishes to report to Old Mr. Xander that I stalked her and hurt her. But she’s the one
who started it. Besides, she also hurt me by prickling me with needles and making monkeys follow me.
Who should Iin to? Let’s—”Josiah suggested, “Since she wishes to involve Old Mr. Xander in
this matter, let’s make the first move! Didn’t she refuse to admit to hypnotizing Xavier? Then, let’s bring
the hypnotic incense piece you got from the dumpster and the one you found in her room. We’ll let Old
Mr. Xanderpare them himself. From what I know, every hypnotist has a specific incense piece.
This should be something that belongs only to her, so I’m sure Old Mr. Xander will recognize it.”Winnie
nodded. “Okay. Let’s do that.”Half an hour had passed when Ynda returned to the Xander
residence.She had nned to report Winnie’s doing to Sebastian, but she didn’t expect to see him
looking so angry when she arrived.Sebastian was sitting on the couch while Winnie and Josiah were
standing beside him.When she saw the scene before her, Ynda frowned and understood what was
happening since she was intelligent.She sneered with hostility, “Winnie, did you flip the story around
when you’re the one to be med?”Sebastian mmed a little box on the coffee table when he saw
Ynda’s terrible attitude. “That’s enough! Ynda, you’d better be honest with me! Who started
it?”Ynda frowned as she stared intently at the object on the coffee table. “Grandpa, what is the
meaning of this? Did you search my room? Or you’re telling me that these two went into my room?”
She lifted her hand and pointed at Winnie and Josiah. “Who gave you permission to go into my room?
I’ve already locked it from the outside, and the key has been with me this whole time! How did you
open it?”“I did!” Sebastian wasn’t in the mood to exin how Winnie and Josiah had gone into
Ynda’s room at that moment. All he wanted to know was if what Winnie said was true.“So, you’re not
denying the hypnotic incense belongs to you, right?” Sebastian asked while ring at Ynda.Ynda
frowned. “Yes. It’s mine.”After that, Sebastian mmed another item in a transparent bag on the coffee
table. “Then what about this? Take a close look at it and tell me if you know what it is!”Ynda took it
up and sniffed it. “Grandpa, where did you get this?”“Where did I get it? Winnie found it in the trash!
This is what you threw away after you cleaned up the incense burner! Do you admit that you altered his
memories? Why did you do it? What can you gain from this? You’re a doctor, Ynda! Tell me, who
made you do this? Who is the mastermind behind all this?”Ynda stared at Sebastian, looking
hurt.“Grandpa, how long have you known her? Why do you believe everything she says? Do you know
what she did to me? She got a man to stalk me and hit me with a stone!”“I know. She told me
everything, including what happened today. But have you thought about why she did all that?”
Sebastian asked with a grave expression.“Why should I think from her perspective? Grandpa, are you
my grandpa or hers? Why are you helping an outsider?”“So, you still won’t admit it?”“I can only say that
I didn’t do anything wrong!”“All right. You’re still not admitting it, are you? Then, get out of my sight! I
don’t have a granddaughter like you!”All Ynda needed to do was admit it, but she wouldn’t
compromise. Sebastian knew she was stubborn, but he was still mad about it. His words were harsher
because she still wouldn’t admit it even after Winnie and Josiah almost had the evidence.Since
Ynda had a bad temper, she had no intention ofpromising even after hearing what Sebastian
said. She turned around and left.Winnie knew that Sebastian only said all those out of anger, but she
didn’t want to chase after Ynda. Therefore, she nudged Josiah’s arm.Josiah reluctantly shouted at
Ynda, “Come back!”Before he could go after her, Sebastian said, “Stop! Let her leave!”Josiah almost
believed Sebastian. Right when Josiah was about to stop, Sebastian suddenly continued, “Perhaps it’s
better for you to take a look. See how she’s doing. She’s not familiar with this area. Don’t let her get too
far.”Josiah was speechless.What else could he have done? Of course, he had to go after her.After
Josiah left, Sebastian asked Winnie to sit in front of him.“Winnie, you’re a very gifted student. It’s
indeed Ynda’s fault in this matter, but I’m your master. Instead of telling me about this immediately
when you noticed it, you chose to get someone to stalk her, resulting in a conflict. I don’t think this is
the right way to handle things. We should talk things through when there’s a disagreement or
misunderstanding, don’t you agree?”Winnie opened her mouth but said nothing.Although Winnie didn’t
know Ynda that long, the former could tell that Ynda was a stubborn person who had her own
thoughts. If Ynda didn’t want to say something, no matter how nicely anyone talked to her, she
would never cooperate.Sebastian had been living with Ynda for all those years, so there was no way
he didn’t know her temper.Seeing that Winnie didn’t say anything, Sebastian continued, “You two
shouldn’t keep fighting like this. You’re very intelligent. You’re more flexible than she is in both medical
skills and self-conduct. For example, how you took the initiative to tell me about what had happened
hadpletely pressured her. But Winnie, I have to tell you. At this age, I already passed my prime a
long time ago. I’m not the same man I was who prioritized my career anymore. Before I’m your master,
I’m Ynda’s grandfather. Honestly, I’m not very happy with what you did to Ynda. She’s at fault for
what happened to Mr. Fairchild, so I’ll do everything I can to treat him and teach you everything I know
about acupuncture. But after you learn everything, I will no longer be your master. In the future, you’ll
handle the acupuncture sessions for Mr. Fairchild, and you and Ynda won’t cross paths anymore. I’ll
talk to Ynda too and ask her why she did all that. So, for my sake, can you forgive her?”Sebastian
meant everything he said.It is human nature to put family first.Of course, Winnie could understand
that.It’s his choice to choose his granddaughter over an apprentice like me. I won’t force him, nor do I
have any right to do so. I’ll respect his decision. Besides, he has already shown me plenty of respect
when he reprimanded Ynda so harshly earlier.Therefore, Winnie nodded seriously.“Once a teacher,
always a teacher. Perhaps our bond as master and apprentice isn’t that strong, but deep down, you’ll
always be my master.”Sebastian sighed.When he was about to say something, they suddenly heard
Xavier’s voice.“Winnie… Winnie…”
