Silly Bride Chapter 238
Chapter 238
“Can you at least tell me about your n?” Xavier asked. The n was pretty dangerous, so Winnie
didn’t want to let Xavier know about it for the time being. She thought about it and said, “It’s not going
to be easy. Harold’s a paranoid man. I can only approach him if I have a middle-man vouching for
me.”He understood what she meant. “You mean Christopher?”“Yes.” With an affirmative nod, she
continued, “I can’t think of anyone else who can introduce me to Harold in a short amount of
time.”“Indeed.” The stakes were clear to Xavier. “However, you must understand something, Winnie.
He’s an undercover agent. If his identity is exposed, the people in his life will suffer too.”“I know that.
Right now, I’m certain his identity hasn’t been exposed yet. Otherwise, he’d be a corpse by now. I need
to go to Lightspring and discuss the details of the n with him.”Nodding, Xavier replied, “Okay. I’ll go
with you.”Winnie opened her mouth, but no words left her lips.“What’s the matter?” When he saw her
expression, his eyebrows furrowed. “Are you not going to take me with you? Do you think I’ll ruin your
n if I do?”She instantly denied it, “No, you’re just overthinking it. That’s not what I meant.”“That’s
good!” As he spoke, he pulled the nket on him away and prepared to stand. “We should head out as
soon as possible. Do you want to visit Granny again and let her know our n?”“Hmm, yes, I do. She
hasn’tpletely forgiven me yet. I bet she’ll feel really sad if I leave without saying goodbye. You
should stay here and rest a little longer. I’ll be back soon.”“That works for me.” Xavier’s lips curved
upward somewhat self-deprecatingly. “It’s likely that Granny will be unhappy to see me. It’s for the best
if I don’t join you so I won’t upset her further.”Winnie was aware that what he said was true, and she felt
apologetic about it. “I’m sorry you have to go through this, Darling. I appreciate you being
understanding of her.”“Not at all.” The light in his eyes grew brighter. “It’s worth it to hear you call me
Darling.”A chuckle slipped out of her mouth. “Are you that easily satisfied? You’ve certainly
changed.”“Oh? What kind of person do you think I’ve be?”Winnieughed. “How do I describe it?
It’s like you’ve be someone devoid of desires.”Xavier intentionally frowned. “You’re such a bad
woman. Look at how you’re teasing me again. I suggest you leave quickly. Otherwise, don’t me me
for being audacious.”Raising her eyebrow, she retorted, “Audacious, is it? I’ll remember that. Just you
wait till I’ve taken care of matters here.”With a smile, she touched his cheek and went on, “I should
head to the hospital now. Rest well and wait for me here.”“Don’t worry.” Xavier pulled Winnie’s hand to
his lips and kissed it. “Do you think I’m you? I don’t run around recklessly. I n to drink a cup of coffee
in the courtyard while leisurely awaiting your return.”“Wow! You sure do know how to enjoy yourself.”He
shed her a silent grin before handing her the silver gun on the bedside table.Not long after Winnie
left, Xavier knocked on the door of the neighboring room.The person who opened the door was Greta.
“What’s the matter, Mr. Fairchild?”“I just want to invite you two for a cup of coffee. Would you care to
join me?”“It’ll be an honor to join you.” Winnie had a dominating presence and was Greta’s boss, which
was why Greta would always unintentionally ignore Xavier.It was at that moment she understood he
wasn’t an ordinary person either.While his hand was still bandaged, his presence and aura were so
outstanding that it really would be an honor for her to enjoy a cup of coffee with him.Meanwhile, Winnie
had arrived at the hospital.The moment the bodyguard protecting Jacinta’s ward saw her, he stood
from a nearby chair. “Why are you here, Mrs. Fairchild?”“I’m just here for a visit.” She lowered her
voice, “Is my Granny doing all right? Did she throw any tantrums?”“No. She’s cooperative when it’s
time for her injections and medicines. The nurse said she might feel sleepy after the injection. I don’t
know if she’s asleep or not yet.”Winnie nodded. “I’ll go in and check on her.”The bodyguard promptly
opened the door for her.The instant she stepped into the room, the bodyguard sent a text message to
Xavier.At that moment, Xavier was drinking coffee with Mason and Greta.He wanted to ask them what
they talked about with Winnie during the morning, but they wouldn’t spill the beans.The only thing they
told him was that they wouldn’t reveal any information they obtained to anyone privately without getting
Winnie’s permission beforehand.It made the situation rather awkward.On Winnie’s side, things weren’t
going that well either.When Jacinta heard the younger woman was leaving for a while, she became
upset. “Shouldn’t we be waiting here for Rach to get better? You keep saying this ce is dangerous,
yet you seem to have endless matters to take care of here. Where exactly are you going?”“Lightspring.”
Winnie then exined with knitted eyebrows, “As you know, Captain Bet is there. There’s
something I need his help with.”“What for?” The older woman lowered her voice. She was genuinely
concerned about Winnie’s safety. “He’s dealing with narcotics in Avenport. Since his job is a dangerous
one, doesn’t this mean it’s dangerous for you to be involved with him?”“No! He’s a cop while I’m not.
There’s a private matter I need his help with. If you don’t believe me, I can call him in front of you right
now.”“Sure. Call him in front of me now.”“No problem.” With a faint grin, Winnie pulled out her phone
and dialed Christopher’s number.The call connected quickly. Based on the noise she heard from his
end, she spected that he was surrounded by many people at the moment.Thus, she quickly spoke in
a coquettish manner. “You’re so awful, Chris. You said you were going toe find me, yet you haven’t
even called me in days!”As she said that, she tapped the back of the phone with her finger.She was
asking him if it was a good time to talk in Morse code.Christopher replied, “I’ve been busy these past
few days. Don’t you know to call me if I don’t call you?”The instant his sentence ended, a man next to
him piped up, “That’s right! Chris has no shortage of sl*ts desperate to sleep with him!”“Get lost!”
Christopher roared before the person beside him fell silent.Despite what he was saying, he also sent a
message to her through Morse code: Not avable to talk now. Can deliver messages. Winnie received
his message and continued to talk to him through Morse code while chatting about an unrted topic
to fool Jacinta.When Christopher learned that she had something important to discuss with him, he
promptly made the decision to find her instead.In the end, they agreed to meet at the hospital in an
hour.After ending the call, Jacinta immediately asked, “Was the thing you mentioned on the phone
really that important? So much so that you need to return it to him personally?”Winnie’s fake
conversation with Christopher earlier was about her wanting to hand an important item over to
him.Jacinta couldn’t understand Morse code, so that was all she heard. Naturally, she believed that
was the reason Winnie wanted to meet Christopher.Winnie nodded. “Yes. That item is very important to
him, so I need to return it to him.”A sigh left Jacinta’s lips, though it also expressed her
understanding.The gears in her mind turned before she abruptly asked, “What’ll happen to Xavier if you
go to Lightspring? Will he go with you? Or is he going to take care of me when you’re not
around?”Winnie shook her head. “We’ll go there together. He’ll worry if I go alone, anyway. The
bodyguard will watch over you and Rach for the time being while the caretakers inside the hospital will
tend to your daily needs.”“Okay. That’s good, actually. You must have a man by your side if you want to
go to Lightspring.” Then, Jacinta took Winnie’s hand into her palm. “I just want my children to live well,
my dear.”Just as Winnie was about to reply, Xavier suddenly sent her a text message: When are you
coming back?At the same time, Greta also secretly sent a text message to Winnie: Your husband
asked us what we told you during the morning, Ms. Gand. Don’t worry; we didn’t say anything.Winnie
first replied to Greta: Very good. You get a bonus.Then she thought about what to say to Xavier and
typed: I’m not going back yet. Dinner’s right around the corner, so I’m going to keep Grannypany
for that. Have dinner yourself. There’s no need to wait for me. Oh, also, Greta said you invited them for
coffee. You should let them go after you finish drinking your coffee. I’ll let you know what you want to
know when I return after my dinner with Granny is over.After Winnie had dinner with Jacinta, it was
about time for her to meet up with Christopher.When she arrived at the rooftop, she saw he was
already there.He was smoking a cigarette, though he put it out when he saw her by throwing it to the
ground and stepping on it.Winnie asked with intrigue, “How did you get here so fast? Did you grow
wings?”“Are you kidding?” A casual smile settled on Christopher’s face. “I just so happened to be near
town, so it didn’t take long for me to get here. How’s Rachel’s? Is she getting better?”“No.” She shook
her head. “Not only that, my grandmother’s injured too. She can’t move from the hospital bed
now.”Hearing that prompted him to frown. “What’s going on? Could it be that people from the Horton
family havee here? That shouldn’t be happening!”“No! No, it was just an ident. This has
nothing to do with anyone. You don’t need to worry about it.”“I’m d to hear that. True, the people
from the Horton family probably aren’t going toe here to raise hell. Oh yeah, what was the very
important thing you said you wanted to discuss with me?”Before answering that question, Winnie
scanned her surrounding instinctively.When Christopher saw that, he assured, “Don’t worry, this is a
safe ce. People don’t usuallye here. Even if they do, there’s only one entrance, which I’m able
to see clearly from my position. No one can escape my sight.”“That’s good!” Winnie nodded. “Do you
remember the person I asked you to look into before? I’ve gotten new information about them, although
it’s only one detail.”“Which is?”“That their codename is called Big ck Bear. Whoever they are,
they’re a master at hiding. So far, not even a hint of the new form has been revealed. I don’t have
time to wait for them to reveal themselves. I must act now to lure them out of their hideout.”“What are
you going to do?” Christopher furrowed his eyebrows. “Do you have a n yet?”“I do. I’m going to tell
everyone I have a new form that can create drugs with a purity of up to ny-four-point-seven
percent. My intention is to make all three of the drug lords fight over who gets to cooperate with me. Big
ck Bear will no doubt be unable to resist the urge to show themself soon after that
announcement.”“Are you crazy?” That shocked him to the core.It was the first time he used such an
agitated tone to talk to her. “Do you know what you’re saying? A purity of ny-four-point-seven
percent? Are you kidding me? Do you think the drug lords will believe you if you just make an empty
im or hand over a fake form? You can’t convince them like that! They will test the drug! And if you
can’t produce what you alleged you could do, you won’t live for more than five minutes in front of them!
This n is too ridiculous!”Compared to Christopher, Winnie seemed exceptionally calm. “I understand
your worry, but I didn’te up with this n without thinking it through. We can judge if it’s a
ridiculous n or not in the future. Just tell me the purity of the new product Professor White made for
Harold.”He frowned. “How much do you know about drugs? How can you even say you thought this
n through? Do you—”“Christopher Bet.” She cut him off directly. “Do you see me as a rash and
impulsive person?”With his brows deeply knitted, Christopher remained silent for a long while before he
gave Winnie the answer she wanted. “Thetest one he developed is ny percent pure, which is the
purest drug on the market. Your im of ny-four-point-seven percent purity is too unrealistic.”“That’s
because there’s no chemistry genius here! The drug lords will undoubtedly fight for my form if what
Professor White can make is only ny percent pure!”“You really have a form like that?”“Of course.
I’m not working alone. The entire Speiser family is backing me up. The stuff they gave me is definitely
that good.”“What if one of them obtains the form? Are you really willing to risk letting such a high-
purity drug leak into the world? This drug will be a greater threat to humanity than anything that
came before it!”“It’s fine even if they obtain it because the form is wed. If anyone tries to mass-
produce it, a chemical reaction will take ce. At the end of the process, those drugs will be
nothing but useless powder!”“Are you sure?”“Yes. I swear on my name and the name of the Speiser
family that I’m certain. That’s why you must help introduce me to Harold. I want to go to his factory, and
from there, to Professor White’sboratory. Once we find him, we’ll rescue him and destroy that drug
den!”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
