Silly Bride Chapter 380


    Chapter 380


    “Winnie! It must have been a long wait for you,” Josiah said as he took off his Bluetooth earphones and


    strode over to her.Upon hearing Josiah’s voice, Winnie turned in his direction.“I was enjoying my music,


    so I lost track of time. You’re done?”“Yeah. I’ll be sending you back now.”“Okay,” she answered before


    standing up.A beatter, Josiah said, “I think we should call Xavier. How should I phrase my words?”“I’ll


    do the talking, but pay attention to what I say and make sure not to let anything slip.”“You’re the witty


    one between us two,” Josiah praised as he called Xavier.It took Xavier a few rings before he picked up


    the call.Once Josiah heard Xavier’s voice, he passed the phone to Winnie.Xavier asked, “Are you done


    with the checkup? How was it?”In her usual voice, she replied, “Neither good nor bad. I was given


    some meds, so I guess I’ll take those first.”“What about Lisanne and that Rodunstian scientist’s


    research? Any progress?”“Yeah. The meds I just received were the product of their research with the


    hospital.”“Any side effects? How did Lisanne feel after taking them? Did you ask her about it?”“Don’t


    worry. I did. There aren’t any side effects after she took the meds, but you know how my symptoms are


    a little more serious than hers, so the meds I received aren’tpletely identical to hers. Still, they’re


    made from the same base materials, so it should be fine.”Right then, Winnie heard someone calling for


    Xavier on the other end of the line, so she said, “You should head back to work. I’m about to go back


    with Josiah.”After ending the call, Winnie gave the phone back to Josiah.The two then went back to


    Lagune Mansion.After working incessantly for a few days, Xavier finally settled the backlog of his


    work.Winnie realized it was the right time for her to tell him about her worsening condition.However,


    before she could tell him about it herself, Xavier noticed it.That was because she started experiencing


    the side effects of the medication a few days after starting the course.Her hair began to fall, and she


    started vomiting. As a matter of fact, she even began coughing up blood.When Xavier found out about


    her symptoms, his heart ached so terribly his knees nearly buckled.After hearing Winnie’s exnation,


    he promptly sent her to the hospital.While Winnie was undergoing examination, Xavier stood by the


    window, staring at the dark world outside. He looked as if his mind was no longer with his physical body


    in the hospital.It was difficult for him to rpose himself. For the past month and more, he could notProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.


    make himself cheer up or be optimistic.In the end, an elderly doctor’s suggestion was what


    enlightened both of them.He suggested Winnie see a traditional medicine practitioner, for the side


    effects of traditional medicine were far weaker than normal medicine.Xavier hastily brought Winnie to


    visit Sebastian.Sebastian had always appreciated Winnie as a person. s, due to Winnie’s conflict


    with his granddaughter, Ynda, he was forced to end his master-disciple rtionship with


    Winnie.Nevertheless, that did not stop him from giving Winnie a consultation. After all, Winnie ended up


    this way because she had sacrificed herself for others, and Sebastian desperately hoped that Winnie


    could recover as soon as possible.Bored when Xavier was at work, Winnie would sometimes even stay


    at the Xander residence to enquire Sebastian about acupuncture.Sebastian was surprised by Winnie’s


    desire to learn and her abnormal optimism.He realized that, despite Winnie’s loss of vision, she was


    capable of finding the human body’s acupuncture points after practicing. It was almost a miracle.Other


    than practicing her needling techniques, Winnie would also chat with Sebastian.Sebastian realized that


    Winnie was a wise woman, and the knowledge she had was no lesser than him, an elderly man who


    was decades older than her.Sebastian would share with Winnie about his family matters as well, such


    as stories about his granddaughter, Ynda.He told Winnie that Ynda was currently doing research


    under one of his old coworkers and that she was good at everything except for how she was still hung


    up with Nate. He had made several arrangements for blind dates, but Ynda had never once


    attended them.While Winnie no longer saw Ynda as her enemy, Ynda did not seem to be as


    magnanimous as her.One of the days, Ynda saw Winnie at her ce when she went home. She


    even shot Winnie a re.However, Winnie did not take the incident to heart, and she continued visiting


    the Xander residence.A few days after starting her traditional medicine course, she no longer vomited


    or coughed blood, and her hair stopped falling.A smile returned to Xavier’s face when he saw that.He


    was happier than everyone to see an improvement in Winnie’s health andplexion.At night, he


    hugged Winnie as theyy on their soft bed.In a hushed voice, he told her what was on his


    mind.“Winnie, I’ve been scared out of my mind these few days. I’m terrified of your condition


    worsening. Even when I hold you in my arms as I lie by your side, I can’t sleep. I’ve never felt this way


    before I met you, but if I have a choice, I’ll never want to feel this again. I’m constantly in fear and


    anxiety. Every day, I wonder what I’m going to do the next day and the day after next. There isn’t any


    improvement to your vision and your health, and I feel so helpless. I’m in despair. When I was at


    company meetings, I wondered what the point of me having all these projects was. What’s the point of


    earning this much? I can’t buy the light back into your eyes, and I can’t buy your health. But every time


    when I’m gripped by mncholy, your smile appears in my mind. Winnie, I love you. I really, really love


    you. I can’t live without you. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you. Your name is etched on my


    heart. When all is good for you, I’m nothing but joy. But if things aren’t going well for you, my heart


    aches whenever I think of you. Touch my heart, Winnie. Do you have any ways to soothe it? I’m on the


    verge of breaking down. Who can cure you? Who should I look for? Who should I go to? Who can give


    me a solution to this? What can I possibly do to make you well again? I’ll give up everything I have in


    this life, the next life, and the life after the next…” Xavier trailed off. He was so sad that he lost his


    voice.Winnie knew that he was upset, but she did not know that things had been excruciating for


    him.She slowly put her hand over his heart as silent, heavyhearted tears rolled down her cheeks.
