Silly Bride Chapter 203
Chapter 203
The butler was panting when he said, “Bad news, Mr. Xavier! Mr. Fairchild has returned! He had a gun
in his hand, and he shot Mr. Nate! Are you and Mrs. Fairchild okay?”“We’re fine!” Xavier frowned and
asked, “When you said Mr. Fairchild, did you mean Zyon?”“Yes. Mr. Nate spotted him first. After that,
two other housekeepers saw him as well. It was definitely Mr. Zyon.”Hearing that, Xavier realized
something.With a frown, he turned toward Winnie and asked, “Could Zyon be the dark figure that Nate
said was always following you?”Winnie furrowed her brows and answered, “That’s highly possible.
When I came over, Nate wasn’t following me anymore. I think he had gone after the dark figure.
Coincidentally, Nate was the first to spot Zyon. In that case, Zyon wasing after me or even both of
us too.”Upon hearing Winnie’s analysis, Xavier’s frown deepened. “Besides us, Grandpa could be in
danger as well!”“Butler! Where’s Grandpa? Is he all right?” Xavier asked.“He’s fine!” the butler
answered confidently. “When I came out, Old Mr. Fairchild was still safe and sound. He even had
security guards by his side. He was worried about you and Mrs. Fairchild, so he sent me here to check
on you guys.”“We’re fine. Let’s look for Grandpa now. Upon getting spotted, Zyon will either run away
or do something crazy. Now, go to the surveince room and check all the surveince cameras,”
Xavier instructed.“Okay. I understand!” the butler agreed immediately. The few of them then went
outside together.While walking, Xavier asked the butler, “How’s Nate? Is someone with him? Are Uncle
Jonathan and Aunt Beatrice there?”“They were informed already. We’ve also called for an ambnce,
and it’ll arrive in fifteen minutes at most. Furthermore, Mr. Nate was shot in the arm. He should be
fine.”Xavier grunted in acknowledgment. “That’s good.”It was a big deal because the descendant of the
Fraser family was shot and injured by the grandson of the Fairchild family in the Fairchild
residence.They arrived at the shooting scene fairly quickly.It didn’t matter if they wanted to look for
Rufus or Jacinta, they had to pass through the scene.However, they heard buzzing sounds from above
before they arrived at the scene.Winnie frowned. “What are these?”She wasn’t a fan of bugs and
insects. It was dark, so she instinctively raised her hand and wanted to wave those bugs away.Right
before she did that, Xavier suddenly stopped her and pulled her into his embrace.“Don’t move,
Dumbo!” Xavier warned in a serious tone. With Winnie in his embrace, he quickly took two steps
backward.The butler took a closer look at the insects in the air and eximed in surprise, “These are
hos! How did so many hos show up in the garden all of a sudden?”“Hos?” Winnie raised
her head from Xavier’s embrace and looked closely. Instantly, she knew what she was looking
at.“These hos are poisonous!” Winnie raised her gaze toward Xavier and said, “Fortunately, you
stopped me! Otherwise, I might even end up in the ICU.”“I’m just d you’re all right!” Xavier frowned
and looked at the butler again. “How did you guys not know there’s a ho’s nest in the garden? I bet
it was hidden all this while. There were two gunshots just now, so maybe one of the bullets ended up in
the ho’s nest. Tell everyone about it and tell them to be careful.”The butler instantly
agreed.Meanwhile, Jonathan and Beatrice arrived in a rush to check on Nate.Knowing that Nate was
most probably not seriously hurt, Jonathan ignored his son and walked up to Xavier instead.The two of
them had a brief chat afterward. Apparently, Jonathan wasn’t ming the Fairchild family. When Xavier
told Jonathan he was going to check on Rufus, Jonathan had even taken the initiative to urge Xavier to
do so.Rufus’ well-being was of the utmost importance, so Xavier left right away.The moment he left,
Winnie wanted to check on Jacinta.Yet, she had barely taken two steps when she suddenly heard
Beatrice screaming for help.“Help! Somebody! Please help Nate! What’s the matter with you, Nate?
Don’t scare me. Please say something!”It just so happened that the house physician at the Fairchild
residence was on leave. Hence, they had no choice but to wait for the ambnce to arrive at the scene
to treat Nate. The other butler from the Fairchild residence could only help Nate stop his bleeding from
the gunshot wound with whatever he could find in the first aid kit.If he was only shot in the arm, Nate
couldn’t be in much trouble.Could it be that Nate had also been shot elsewhere? Since Nate was
always causing Winnie trouble, she would have no problem ignoring those cries for help.However, she
couldn’t ignore the cries of a mother.Indeed, Beatrice’s cries for help reminded Winnie of her own
mother.Therefore, after a few seconds of hesitation, Winnie turned around and walked toward Beatrice
and Nate.When Winnie got there, she saw Beatrice panicking and tearing Nate’s clothes apart to check
his body.“What’s going on? How did this happen? Jonathan, do something! What’s wrong with Nate? Is
he injured elsewhere?” Beatrice asked.Right next to them, there were several hos that had beenProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
trampled to death. Winnie also saw two ho’s nests the size of a fist under a tree not far
away.Winnie quickly checked Nate’s condition and immediately told Beatrice to stop what she was
doing. “Beatrice, you can’t keep wrapping your arms around him that way. It seems like he’s choking on
something. Hold him up and remove whatever that’s stuck in his throat!”“Okay!” For some reason,
Beatrice became calm upon hearing Winnie’s words. It was as if Winnie’s words were as reliable as a
doctor’s.“What’s next, Winnie? What should I do now? I’ve already checked his body, and he was only
shot in the arm. He was still talking to me just now. What could be choking him? He just suddenly rolled
his eyes backward and had trouble breathing.”“Calm down. You can’t panic now.” Unlike Beatrice,
Winnie seemed as cool as a cucumber. “I need two people to help me. I need one person to force his
mouth open and the other to shine a light into his mouth.”As soon as those words fell, Jonathan
squatted down and forced Nate’s mouth open.Kevin, who had just arrived at the scene in a rush,
quickly switched on the shlight on his phone.With the help of those two men from the Fraser family,
Winnie stuck her fingers into Nate’s mouth.While moving her fingers around, she exined, “I think a
ho had made its way into his mouth. If it’s just blocking his windpipe, that shouldn’t be too
troublesome. However, these hos are extremely poisonous. If it were to sting Nate before it died,
things are going to get dicey. Open his mouth wider, please. He’s biting on my fingers, and I can’t work
like this.”At that point, the members of the Fraser family were willing to listen to whatever Winnie had to
say. Momentster, Winnie pulled out a half-finger-length, two-finger-width dead ho from Nate’s
throat.Everyone at the scene was stunned when they saw the size of the dead ho.Beatrice’s face
turned pale in an instant. “That’s a big ho! It’s very poisonous, right? Where’s the ambnce? Why
isn’t the ambnce here yet?”Winnie took the shlight from Kevin and looked inside Nate’s mouth.
After touching Nate’s throat gently, she uttered in a serious tone, “There’s another one in his windpipe.
He needs an operation now to stay alive. If we wait, he might not survive this. If you guys want him to
live, you can’t wait for the ambnce. By the time it gets here, he would be long gone.”“An operation?”
Beatrice nced at her husband and looked at Winnie. “Who’s going to perform the operation? We
don’t have a doctor present. What operation are you talking about? Is it risky?”“It’s a tracheotomy,”
Winnie exined calmly. “It’s actually quitemon. I’ve done it when I was in the wilderness. The
situation was so urgent that we couldn’t wait for the doctor toe.”At that moment, Nate’s situation
was just as urgent. He could barely breathe on his own anymore. Without a tracheotomy, he only had
three minutes left to live.“Are you confident in performing the operation?” Beatrice was at a loss. She
turned toward her husband and said, “Jonathan, make a decision, will you? Nate is running out of
breath.”Jonathan was so nervous that he was sweating bullets. However, he quickly came to a
decision. “Ms. Gand, if you’re able to perform the operation, please save Nate’s life. If he lives, you’ll
be our family’s savior!”“What if something goes wrong and Nate dies?” With a calm expression, Winnie
asked, “What is the Fraser family going to do to me?”Jonathan frowned slightly but remained firm. “If he
dies, it has nothing to do with you, Ms. Gand! At least you’re trying to save Nate.”Winnie nodded and
whipped out her phone to wave it in front of their faces. “You meant what you said, right? I’ve recorded
it, Mr. Fraser. If something bad were to happen, I hope the Fraser family will honor those words.”With
that, she started ordering the others around.As a matter of fact, she was very confident in performing
such a minor operation. Back then, she had already learned it when she went to the wilderness for
survival training with other members of the family. This kind of emergency operation is asmon to
me as CPR and bandaging someone up.“Now, hurry up and find something to put under his shoulders.
I want his head to lean backward. After that, I need you guys to work together. One of you should hold
his head still and straight to prevent him from moving. Someone needs to bring the first aid kit to me. I
need rubbing alcohol and a straw. I also need gauze. Quick!” Winnie ordered.“Okay!” “Right away!”“By
the way, someone please go and check on my granny. I need to know that she’s safe and sound,”
Winnie uttered.“Okay, Mrs. Fairchild!” a housekeeper answered immediately. “I’ll go now!”Shortly after,
Nate was held in position. Rubbing alcohol, a straw, and gauze were also brought to Winnie.The only
thing they didn’t have was a scalpel because the first aid kit didn’t have a scalpel in it. Fortunately,
Winnie had two scalpels in her acupuncture kit.Winnie hurriedly took out one scalpel and disinfected it.
Her movements were swift and precise. Within seconds, she made the incision and inserted the
disinfected straw into his windpipe.At that point, the operation was halfpleted.She then needed to
remove everything that was blocking his windpipe. That included a ho and bloody sputum.However,
the conditions there were rudimentary, and it was iparable to a hospital. She had no machine, so
she could only suck out those things with her mouth.Upon taking a deep breath, she leaned down
toward Nate.With all her strength, she sucked the dead ho out of his windpipe.As a consequence,
she choked herself. It was a slightly smaller ho, so it almost went down her throat.After spitting the
ho out, she felt difort in her throat. Even so, she knew the priority was to save Nate’s life.Once
again, she leaned down toward him to suck out the bloody sputum and secretions stuck in Nate’s
windpipe.In fact, Nate could already breathe on his own the moment the ho was sucked
out.Although he almost died of choking, he was aware of what was happening around him.Suddenly,
he opened his eyes and slightly parted his lips.Straightaway, he saw Winnie sucking the secretions out
of his windpipe without minding it being disgusting. That’s Winnie, no? She’s my enemy. Why is she
doing this?Nate moved his lips. Right when he was about to open his mouth, Winnie stopped him and
said, “Don’t talk! Just keep breathing the fresh air. Don’t harm your throat even more!”However, Nate
wasn’t just going to back down. Even though he couldn’t utter a word, he could still move his hands. He
ended up shoving Winnie aside when she was about to intubate him.In response, Winnie red at him
and fumed, “You don’t want me to save your life, do you? I’m just doing this for your mom’s sake, okay?
Do you think I’m doing this for you?”Once she had bandaged him and intubated him, the operation was
completed.Seeing that their son was alive, Beatrice and Jonathan immediately expressed their
gratitude toward Winnie.Winnie wiped the blood off of her hands and uttered tly, “Get him to lie down
t and wait for the ambnce.”With that, she was ready to leave the scene. The moment she stood
up, she saw that the courtyard where Rufus lived was aze with fire. In fact, the me was burning
brightly, and it dyed half of the sky red.From afar, people were shouting, “Fire! Fire! Send help to put
out the fire!”Winnie frowned immediately. Beatrice was talking to her, but Winnie just couldn’t hear her
anymore. Instead of listening to what Beatrice was saying, Winnie immediately ran toward the fire.The
Fairchild residence was mostly made of wood. The wind was strong that night, and the fire was getting
out of hand.Before Winnie even got near the fire, she could feel the intense heat in the air. In fact,
smoke and ashes were everywhere.“Xavier! Xavier! Where are you?” Winnie ran into the courtyard and
caught no sign of Xavier.The butler heard her shouting, so he approached her and urged, “Mrs.
Fairchild! Stay away! You’ll get burnt!”At that moment, Winnie couldn’t care about anything else
anymore. “Where’s Xavier? Where’s Grandpa Rufus? Where are they?”“Old Mr. Fairchild is still inside.
Mr. Xavier had gone in there to save Old Mr. Fairchild! We tried, but we couldn’t stop Mr. Xavier! When
I got here, the ce was already on fire, and someone had locked Old Mr. Fairchild inside. Since Old
Mr. Fairchild couldn’t get out of there, Mr. Xavier rushed in to rescue him. It had been a few minutes
already, but no one hase out of the fire yet. What are you doing, Mrs. Fairchild? Don’t go in there!
It’s dangerous! The fire is zing!”
