Silly Bride Chapter 300
Chapter 300
Lisanne pointed her finger in the direction of the door as she spoke resolutely.Winnie didn’t immediately
leave as she stared at her friend intently.Seeing that blood was still dripping from Winnie’s palm, Xavier
promptly removed his tie and wrapped it around her injury to stop the bleeding.“Let’s leave first. Your
injury needs to be treated in the hospital,” he informed her before pushing her out of the room by her
shoulders instead of waiting for her to reply.Once they were out of the building, he swept her up into his
arms.Winnie was shocked as she reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck. “What are you doing?
My hand is the one that’s injured, not my legs.”“I know.” Upon lowering his head to look at her, Xavier
spoke authoritatively while appearing slightly angry. “Can’t I carry you because I feel like it? Also, were
you aware of what you were doing earlier? Do you not want your hands anymore? You should’ve let
her stab me. If I die, then it means I lose. Do you know, even though you’re the one who’s physically
hurt, the pain I feel in my heart is greater than yours?”ncing at her hand, she replied, “It’s just a
minor injury. Although, I didn’t expect Lisanne had that kind of rtionship with Christopher. Her grief is
understandable, but now I don’t know how I canfort her.”“I think you should leave her be for the
time being. We’re a married couple, so it’s possible her anger and hatred toward me might extend to
you. You should wait until she calms down a bit before speaking to her again. For now, let’s head to the
hospital.”As Xavier spoke, he had already brought Winnie to the car. Then, he put her into the vehicle
before heading toward the driver’s seat.When she saw him ready to take a u-turn to the hospital, she
rapidly stopped him. “No need to go there. The bleeding has already stopped, and the wound’s not
deep. We can treat this back in our room.”However, he disagreed with her suggestion. “Why should we
do that when there’s a hospital we can go to? Do you think we can take care of it more professionally
than a doctor?”Still, she insisted, “I can handle a minor injury. Besides, we’re in a hurry right
now!”“What for?” Xavier couldn’t help but turn his head back and nce at Winnie. “What are you
nning to do?”“Rx. Just focus on driving,” she promptly reminded him in response to his
action.Frowning, he questioned, “Then answer my question. What do you want to do? Why are you in a
hurry?”“To return to our country! We need to go back now. It’s very likely Lisanne has already switched
to the earliest flight she can get. So, I want to return to our home country as quickly as possible too. It’s
best if I pay a personal visit to the Marsh residence.”“No!” Xavier denied her request without hesitation.
“You can’t return to the country yet. What if Harold has already arrived in Chanaea and is looking for
you everywhere? We’re in the light while he’s in the dark. As the saying goes, it’s easier to defend
against a direct attack than to avoid an ambush. He’s a cruel and ruthless man. If we aren’t careful, we
may identally step into his trap. You should stay here for now. Give me some time to track down
Harold’s whereabouts. Once I seed, you cane back. At the very least, we need to know where
he’s going and understand what he’s nning. As for Lisanne, just give her family members a call and
briefly exin the situation to them. When I return, I’ll keep an eye on her whereabouts, too.”Furrowing
her eyebrows, Winnie replied, “I understand what you’re saying, but no one knows when Harold will
arrive. We don’t even know if he’s dead or alive. If you keep failing to find out where he is, does this
mean I’ll have to stay here indefinitely until you do? That’s not realistic. Besides, I’m not the type of
person to flee or hide from problems. I still have things I need to do, and it’s inconvenient to keep
staying here.” “But—”“No buts! Save your breath. Even if you force me to give in to your demand today,
I’ll still buy a ne ticket back to Chanaea tomorrow. So, there’s no point to this argument.”That
rendered him speechless because he knew she would definitely do something like that.“Fine.”
However, Xavier wasn’t going to yieldpletely. “I won’t dissuade you, but you must follow me to the
hospital. I made my concession. Now it’s your turn.”“You… Fine, we’ll each make a concession.”“Mhm.”
He didn’t turn his head around this time. Instead, he nced at her through the rearview mirror. “That’s
more like it. You should listen to me once in a while.”After they left the hospital, they went to the manor
again because Winnie wanted to bid the Speiser couple goodbye.The elderly couple knew Winnie
wasn’t someone who could stand doing nothing, so they didn’t ask her to stay. They only reminded her
to visit them more often.As they were in a hurry, Winnie didn’t stay in the manor for too long. Skipping
dinner, Xavier and she returned to their condominium.They didn’t have a lot of luggage, so it didn’t take
long for them to pack their things and head to the airport.It wasn’t until they were inside the airport’s
lounge that Winnie realized she and Xavier had grabbed the wrong phone. That was because their
phones’ appearances were identical.If she hadn’t noticed the phone buzzing in her bag, she wouldn’t
have realized the mistake. When she pulled the device out, she saw it had just received a message
from Nate.Without dy, she handed the phone to Xavier. “Nate’s looking for you. He said he’s gotten
off the ne already. He’s returning to the country today, too?”Xavier was opening a water bottle for
Winnie, so he didn’t grab the phone. “Ah, yeah, he told me about it yesterday. He took a flight that was
earlier in the day.”“I see. Look, he sent another photo to you.”“What photo?” Xavier still hadn’t epted
his phone because he was taking out a straw for Winnie. He thought it would be easier for her to drink
water with a straw since her hand was injured.She nodded. “I can’t see it. The phone needs to be
unlocked first.”“Then do it. You can use your fingerprint to unlock it.”His answer confounded Winnie, but
when she gave it a try, she discovered her fingerprint could, indeed, unlock his phone.It surprised her
slightly. “When did you register my fingerprint on your phone? Why don’t I know about it?”After inserting
the straw into the water bottle, Xavier put it close to her mouth. “That’s because you were
asleep.”“What prompted you to register my fingerprint on your phone?”“I was worried you may be
unable to unlock my phone during an emergency in the future. The password’s your birthday.”“You sure
know how to n ahead. Not bad. In that case, give me my phone. I’ll register your fingerprint into the
phone’s system.”“Sure.” Xavier speedily pulled out Winnie’s phone. He had been waiting for her to say
that.After unlocking her phone, she let him register his fingerprint on her phone by himself. Meanwhile,
she opened the photo Nate sent to Xavier.“He sent you a couple of photos. I think these were taken at
the airport earlier. I can’t see anyone’s face in the first one, only their back. The second one is clearer.
Huh, it’s your Uncle Stuart. Hasn’t he been lying low in his house recently? Why is he at the airport?”“Is
that so? Did Nate say anything else?”“No. Wait, he just sent another photo. This is…” When Winnie
saw the third photo, she instantly frowned.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
