Silly Bride Chapter 339


    Chapter 339


    Stuart was hit in the chest by a bullet, but he was not dead.Death was not the best punishment for him.


    After he woke up, he would face the consequences ofmitting intentional homicide and get


    sentenced to life imprisonment.As for Jacinta, she suffered physical and psychological shocks and


    could not ept the fact that her biological son wanted to kill her. She was utterly devastated and


    completely lost her mind.Although she temporarily escaped from getting a prison sentence, she would


    be spending her life in a psychiatric hospital. Even if she recovered and got discharged, she would face


    legal sanctions as long as she was alive.This was the ending for the pair of mother and son.When


    Winnie visited Jacinta at the psychiatric hospital, thetter did not recognize her.Looking at her


    grandmother, Winnie frowned as sorrow filled her heart.Xavier stayed by her side for the entire day.Not


    wanting to see the woman he loved upset, he held her hand tightly and said, “Today’s visiting hours are


    over. I’ll bring you here another day. Let’s go somewhere to rx tomorrow. Where do you want to


    go?”Winnie was not in the mood to go anywhere. She shook her head lightly. “I don’t want to go


    anywhere now. I’ve been thinking about something for the past few days.”“What is it?”“I was thinking


    that if I hadn’t brought Granny here and taken the initiative to help her find her grandson, would the


    ending be different from what it is now?”“Winnie.” Xavier stopped in his tracks and looked at her


    seriously. “Why would you have such thoughts? I think your grandmother would havee here even


    without you.”“Perhaps.” Winnie frowned. “Granny’s life was tough when she was young. After going


    through such a difficult first half of her life, no one expected fate to give her such an ending. How do


    you think the heavens decide one’s fate? Why do some people have such smooth-sailing lives while


    others are so unfortunate?”“Winnie.” Xavier stretched out his hand and gently smoothed out her


    furrowed brows. “Although fate is unfair, it gave everyone the right to choose. All critical moments are


    dependent on one’s decisions. Granny just chose the wrong path. Now that things havee to this


    point, those still walking on the path must look forward.”“That’s right.” Winnie held Xavier’s hand tightly


    and smiled. “I rarely look back. It’s not because I don’t like to, but it’s because I don’t dare to. The road


    is always filled with regrets, so it’s better to move forward.”“Yes.” Xavier and Winnie intertwined their


    fingers. “I’ll walk with you from now on.”Winnie looked at the tall man in front of her and leaned against


    him gently.However, after less than half a minute of their peaceful silence, Xavier’s phone suddenly


    rang.Winnie nced at it subconsciously. When she saw the familiar strings of numbers on the caller


    ID, she immediately stood up straight and signaled for Xavier to answer it quickly.Feeling Winnie move


    away from him, Xavier stretched out his arm and pulled her closer. Then, he answered the call.It was a


    short conversation when he only said a total of three sentences. “Is that so? All right. Thank you.”Then,


    he ended the call.Seeing this, Winnie immediately asked, “What happened? Did something happen to


    Stuart’s case?” “No.” Xavier put his phone into his pocket and held Winnie’s hand again. “It’s about that


    unknown celebrity, Shania. Didn’t Stuart try to get her out of the detention center before he was


    arrested? She’s gone now and can’t be found anywhere. The police were worried that she would


    threaten us, so they called to remind us to be more careful when we are in public.”Winnie nodded. “I


    see. However, if I were her, I would never show my face again after finding out what happened to


    Stuart.”“It’s fine if she shows up.” Xavier bent down and kissed Winnie on the forehead. “This time, I


    won’t go anywhere. I’ll definitely protect you.”The two of them walked out hand in hand.However, on


    their way out, Winnie suddenly saw a familiar face.Seeing Winnie stop in her tracks, Xavier followed


    her gaze.“Isn’t that Lisanne?” he asked. “What is she doing here?”Winnie shook her head lightly. “I


    have no idea.”Just as she said that, Lisanne looked toward her.Their eyes met.Lisanne approached


    them first.Winnie let go of Xavier’s hand and took a few steps forward.“Winnie,” Lisanne greeted and


    asked, “Are you here to visit your grandmother?”Winnie nodded. “What about you? Why are you here?


    I saw that you came with someone else. Are you also here to visit a patient?”Their current location was


    rtively close to the main entrance. Many people wereing and going.“It’s inconvenient to talk


    here. Let’s go to the lobby,” Lisanne suggested.She nced at Xavier, who was standing behind


    Winnie. “Your husband cane along too.”The three of them quickly entered the lobby. Lisanne led


    Winnie and Xavier to a quiet ce and sat down.She exined, “I’m apanying Mr. Bet and


    Mdm. Sullivan to visit a patient. Mdm. Sullivan’s not in good healthtely, and she always liked me, so


    Mr. Bet invited me along to apany her.”The two people Lisanne were talking about were ke


    Bet and Madeline Sullivan, Christopher’s parents.“I didn’t expect to see you here. Mr. Bet andContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Mdm. Sullivan has gone in. I’m waiting for them toe out.”When Christopher and his family were


    mentioned, Xavier’s strong guilt toward the former arose again.He held Winnie’s hand tightly, looked at


    Lisanne, and said seriously, “I’ve been looking for an opportunity to meet the two elders and apologize


    to them in person, but I haven’t made any arrangements. I don’t know when is the right time to meet


    them either. However, I know that this matter cannot be dyed. Ms. Marsh, since you’re close to the


    Bet family, can I trouble you to help me arrange a meeting?”Lisanne opened her mouth but said


    nothing. When she mentioned ke and Madeline, she had already expected Xavier to make this


    request.She thought for a long while before she spoke. “I understand your intentions. Just like Winnie,


    you’re someone who takes responsibility for your actions. However, I think it’s better to dy this


    matter for a while, Mr. Fairchild. Mdm. Sullivan is not in good health, and you also know that


    Christopher has a special identity. The organization’s exnation for the two elders is that Christopher


    died in the line of duty. If we suddenly tell them what happened to Christopher, I’m afraid they won’t be


    able to take it. It might be better to push this back for now.”
