Silly Bride Chapter 298


    Chapter 298


    “Ah, so you still saw it…” Feeling a little awkward, Lisanne rapidly changed the topic. “I almost forgot


    you also know him. It was Lucas who initially introduced you two to each other, right?”“That’s right.”


    Winnie nodded. “There was something important I needed his help with back then.”Lisanne was still


    unaware of Christopher’s passing, so when she spoke about him, she did it with a casual tone. “How


    did things turn out in the end? He’s pretty reliable, right?”“Mhm.” Again, Winnie nodded. “He is. He


    helped me a lot.”After she thought about what she had said carefully, she realized she had asked an


    extremely stupid question earlier.Christopher was like a brother to Lucas, and it was said that they grew


    up together.Considering Lisanne was Lucas’ twin sister, there was no way she didn’t know


    Christopher.When Winnie’s train of thought arrived there, her heart grew heavy.Sensing the changes


    on Winnie’s face, Lisanne couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. “What’s the matter? Why did your


    expression change when I mentioned him? Did something happen between you two? Or is it…”Lisanne


    was aware of how special and dangerous Christopher’s job was.Immediately, she pulled out her phone


    and opened her chat with Christopher.She swiftly scrolled up the chat log before eventually stopping at


    thest reply he had sent to her.Upon calcting the time in her mind, Lisanne uttered, “It’s been more


    than three months since he replied to me. I know he went on a mission, and it’s normal for him not to


    reply to me when he’s in the field. However, this has been his longest hiatus between replies. I’ve


    asked Lucas about Christopher’s whereabouts, but even he said he had no idea where Christopher


    went this time for his mission. Do you know something about it, Winnie?”Gazing at Lisanne, Winnie


    was suddenly at a loss for words.When Lisanne saw that, she became certain Winnie knew something


    about Christopher’s whereabouts.Thus, she urged, “Tell me, Winnie. I’m worried about him. Truth be


    told, he’s the person I like, but I don’t think he likes me back. He hasn’t had a romantic partner even


    after so many years, and neither do I, so I thought a rtionship between us might be possible. You


    saw how many messages I sent him earlier. I’m really worried about him. If you know something about


    him, please tell me, okay? Your silence only makes me worry even more.”“Lisanne.” Winnie took in a


    deep breath. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just… I haven’t thought about how to break the


    news to you.”“You don’t need to think about that!” At that moment, all Lisanne wished to learn was how


    Christopher was doing recently. “Justy the truth on me.”“Okay. I’ll tell you.” Winnie stared at her with


    a sorrowful expression. “Christopher… has died in the line of duty.”“How is that possible?” Lisanne’s


    immediate instinct was to deny it. “Did you get the news wrong? Who did you hear it from? Is the news


    reliable? You can’t talk nonsense about something like that!”“I know.” Winnie tightly furrowed her


    eyebrows. “I wasn’t talking nonsense, nor did I get it wrong. That’s because I saw him die with my own


    eyes.”That temporarily stunned Lisanne before she swiftly shook her head. “No, I don’t believe it. This


    is impossible.” Winnie also felt awful when she saw Lisanne like that. “I know how terrible you feel after


    learning this news, but I’m not lying to you, Lisanne. I swear this is the truth.”“No!” Lisanne still believed


    Winnie had it all wrong. “Maybe there’s a misunderstanding? Perhaps you mistook him for someone


    else?”Shaking her head, Winnie reaffirmed, “I’m sorry, Lisanne, but I didn’t.”“How is this possible?”


    Lisanne grabbed Winnie’s arms agitatedly. “Christopher went on a mission. Aside from the members of


    his unit, no one knew where he went, not even his parents. How did you coincidentally stumble upon


    him?”“It is that coincidental. Back then, my granny was kidnapped and brought to Manchernius by


    someone. When I went to find her, I came across Christopher. I thought it was unbelievable too, but


    that was what happened.”Deep down, Lisanne knew Winnie wouldn’t lie to her about something like


    that for no reason. However, she was unwilling to—refused to—believe the fact that Christopher had


    passed away.“Then tell me, how was he killed? Was he in pain when he died? Did those bad guys


    murder him?”Lisanne’s rapid-fire questions rendered Winnie speechless for a moment. Was


    Christopher in pain when he died? I think it was pretty painful. Did those bad guys murder him?


    Subconsciously, she nced in the direction of the balcony and saw Xavier talking on the phone next


    to the window. How am I going to answer Lisanne’s question? If I didn’t know Xavier, I could probably


    tell her everything that happened in just a few sentences. However, right now, he’s someone I want to


    protect. I guess, ultimately, I am selfish. Taking in a deep breath, Winnie answered, “We were about to


    evacuate back then. However, during a critical moment, a series of idents urred, which led to a


    change in our n. In the end, Christopher plummeted from the top of the building. I just so happened


    to arrive at the bottom of the building when he fell onto the roof of my car. That’s how I saw him die withContent rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    my own eyes.”“He fell?” Lisanne didn’t dare to imagine what the scene looked like back then. “He


    must’ve been in a lot of pain. Did you rescue him? Did you try to save him?”Winnie choked out, “I’m


    sorry. The situation back then forbade me from trying. I really couldn’t do anything about it. I couldn’t


    afford to stop because my friend and I were injured. Not only that, we were escorting an unconscious


    patient, and people wereing to kill us. We couldn’t save anyone else, considering we were barely


    able to protect ourselves. Also, the building was very tall, so the likelihood of anyone surviving that fall


    was practically zero.”“So he was just left there? Is he back yet? Hisrades must’ve brought him


    back. I need to see him.” Lisanne mourned as tears trickled from her eyes.After ending her sentence,


    she turned on her phone and, with blurry vision, pressed on a certain app. “I’m changing my flight.


    There’s no way I’m waiting for the confirmation of my resignation. I’m leaving right now!”“Don’t be like


    this, Lisanne.” Winnie stepped forward and grabbed Lisanne’s trembling hand. “His body hasn’t been


    found, so he’s not home yet. You need to calm down first.”“What do you mean his body’s still not


    found? How can I calm down after hearing that? He’s gone, yet I can’t even see him for thest time!”
