Silly Bride Chapter 340
Chapter 340
Winnie thought Lisanne’s words made sense as well. She looked at Xavier and said, “Let’s listen to
Lisanne’s advice. To be honest, I think the best time to do so is when we bring Christopher back
home.”“You’re right.” Xavier nodded with a frown on his face.Right then, Lisanne—who was sitting
across from Winnie and Xavier—got up abruptly and looked in the direction behind Winnie and Xavier
nervously.Winnie turned around subconsciously and looked behind her. Xavier also followed suit and
turned around.Then, they saw a married couple in their fifties who were supporting each other while
standing around two meters away from Winnie and the rest.At that moment, Lisanne spoke. “Mr.
Bet, Mdm. Sullivan, didn’t you already go upstairs? Why did youe back?”It seemed like the old
couple didn’t hear Lisanne’s question at all. They simply strode toward Lisanne and the rest
anxiously.Then, they walked directly to Xavier.Xavier got to his feet to show them his respect.Seeing
Xavier, who was aplete stranger, standing in front of him, Christopher’s father clenched his wife’s
hand and asked in a trembling voice, “Sir, we’re here to get something from Lisanne and overheard you
saying you want to apologize to us. We even heard Lisanne saying that she worries we can’t handle
the truth of what happened to Christopher. Can you tell me what exactly is going on?”Xavier stood
before the old couple and lowered his head.He knew there was no way for him to dy this matter any
further. Thus, he said guiltily, “Professor Bet, Professor Sullivan, I’m sorry. I’m actually responsible
for Captain Bet’s sacrifice as well. I’m not asking for your forgiveness today. All I want is to reduce
the pain you’re suffering from the loss.”Previously, Xavier had already checked Christopher’s family
background and found out his parents were both university professors. Therefore, he addressed them
as such.However, Xavier’s statement was too ambiguous, so Christopher’s parents didn’t understand
what was going on at all.Tears streamed down Madeline’s cheeks instantly. “What exactly is going on?
What happened back then? Please tell us everything, will you? We need to know the truth.”“Okay, I’ll
exin everything that happened.” Xavier helped the old couple who had lost their son recently to sit
down before kneeling in front of them.“Xavier…” Winnie lowered her eyes and nced at Xavier before
kneeling beside him. “Let me exin it instead.”“It’s all right. I was the one who did it, so I won’t let you
take responsibility on my behalf.”“No, it’s something we went through together. Besides, we’re a
married couple. It’s only natural for us to shoulder it together.”Seeing how Winnie was kneeling with
him and atoning for his sins alongside him, Xavier felt warmth and pain blossoming in his heart. After
staring at his beloved woman for a while, he quickly retracted his gaze.After that, he began to share the
story of what happened back then in Manchernius with the professors.While he was exining the
entire situation, he didn’t spare any details and had no intention of dodging the responsibility.Being
Christopher’s mother, Madeline broke down into silent sobs after listening to the events that her son
had experienced.“Oh, my son! My beloved Christopher! Why are you so unfortunate?” Madeline wept
in agony. When she saw Xavier kneeling before her, she couldn’t help but reach her hands out to hit
him, although she had tried her best to resist the urge. She wailed, “Why didn’t you control yourself?
Why can’t you just resist it? If you didn’t start a fight with him and push him, at least he’d still be alive,
even if he would be limping or paralyzed. Why? Why must such a good man suffer such an ill
fate?”Although Madeline’s punches weren’t heavy, they weren’t too soft, either.Xavier merely stood
there and took the blows without avoiding them at all.ke wiped his tears and reached his arms out to
stop his wife from hitting Xavier. “Stop hitting him. This young man has his reasons as well. He only did
what he did because he was set up. Our son is already gone. We can’t hurt someone else’s son as
well.”“I know that.” Madeline bawled. “But I miss our son, ke. I really do.”Seeing the pair of parents
who had just lost their only child, everyone at the scene teared up.Madeline’s cries were getting
increasingly sorrowful. In the end, she pressed her palms against her chest and copsed on the
couch.Instantly, ke got up in a state of shock. “Hurry and get the medicine, Lisanne! It’s in
Madeline’s handbag! Get the bag here quickly!”“All right!” Lisanne immediately understood the reason
why ke and Madeline suddenly returned—they came back to take this handbag.Lisanne handed the
bottle of medicine in the handbag to ke at once.Yet, Madeline was too agitated presently, and the
medicine didn’t work as effectively as it used to.Seeing this, Xavier carried Madeline to the car and
drove her to the hospital immediately.Being a sensible and understanding person, although ke didn’t
treat Xavier as if thetter did nothing wrong, he couldn’t bring himself to put all the me on the man
as well since the organization didn’t have muchment on Xavier.Xavier and Winnie wanted to<ppensate Christopher’s family. However, ke subtly exined he didn’t wish to have any further
interactions with them.Winnie and Xavier respected ke’s decision. After confirming that Madeline’s
health wasn’t in critical danger, they got ready to leave the hospital.Seeing that, Lisanne escorted them
to the elevator.She then said, “Winnie, I also didn’t know Mdm. Sullivan had heart disease before today,
as she had never mentioned it. I’m partially responsible for causing her illness to act up as well. So
don’t feel too bad about it. Moreover, you should try letting it go since Mr. Bet had also expressed
his wish to stop reminiscing about the sad past. Although Christopher is gone, we’ll never forget
him.”Lisanne continued, “We must start returning to our normal lives, and you cannot spend the rest of
your life living with such guilt, too. That being said, you must keep looking for Greta, Winnie. We must
bring Christopher’s body back.”“Don’t worry,” Xavier solemnly reassured Lisanne before Winnie said
anything. “I will do my best to find Greta’s whereabouts and Christopher’s body, even if it takes my
whole life to find them. Also, I will take care of Professor Bet and Professor Sullivan in the
future.”“Good.” Lisanne nodded lightly. “Winnie isn’t wrong about you at all. You’re a responsible
man.”Shortly after, Winnie and Xavier left the hospital.In the car, Xavier asked Winnie, “I heard from
Josiah that you saw someone who looked like Greta. Is he looking into the matter now?”Winnie replied,
“I was busy handling Granny’s matter at that time. Besides, the matter can only proceed if we check the
patient’s family. Thus, I entrusted Josiah to deal with this.”“I see.” While driving, Xavier phoned Josiah
and told Winnie, “You can leave it to me now.”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
