Silly Bride Chapter 386


    Chapter 386


    On their way to another traditional medicine practitioner’s house, Sebastian chatted with Winnie.Their


    topic was none other than the traditional medicine practitioner who had retired.Sebastian said to


    Winnie, “I need to tell you this first. The ce my friend lives is a little remote, and I’m afraid we might


    not be able to get there by car. We’ll have to leave the car and walk there, and the path there won’t be


    an easy one.”Winnie nodded in understanding. “It’s fine. I can have the bodyguard support me. It’s an


    old residential area, is it?”“Yes, it’s an old residential area.” Sebastian sighed. “It won’t be a stretch to


    call it a slum. Honestly, the residential area is in a nice location, and you could even call it the city


    center back then. But Avenport developed too quickly, and the center of the economy shifted. So, soon,


    the ce she stayed downgraded. They couldn’t remove the houses nor could they renovate them, so


    the buildings slowly became dpidated.”“Yes,” Winnie started wistfully. “Although I’m just a young


    woman, I’ve seen the immense growth in the country’s development for the past decade. This is


    something no country in the world canpare to. It’s good, but there will always be a group of people


    who will be negatively affected by it.”“Indeed, but my friend doesn’t have any financial troubles. She


    has properties in other ces too.”“Then why didn’t she leave?” Winnie asked. “She can just rent the


    house she’s living in. As far as I know, the rental in old residential areas isn’t high, and most house


    owners can rent their ces out.”“That’s right,” Sebastian agreed. “The environment is bad, but like


    me, she has a reason to stay in that old house. She, too, is waiting for someone. She’s afraid that the


    one she’s waiting for won’t be able to find her if she moves away. That’s why she’s stubbornly staying


    there even though her children have been trying to convince her to leave.”So that’s why. Winnie could


    not help but ask, “Who is she waiting for?”“The one she loves,” Sebastian replied before sighing. “The


    one she loves works as a site investigator. He went outstation many a decade ago, and he never came


    back. The site investigating team said that he was washed away by a torrent, but they haven’t been


    able to find his body all these years. It’s the same as my grandson, so she has been waiting for him.


    But the wait has been for thirty years. How many thirty years can a person have?”“You’re right. How


    many thirty years can a person have?” Tears sprang to Winnie’s eyes. She did not even know whetherN?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    or not she could live past her first thirty years.After her chat with Josiah the night before, she learned


    that he had asked his ssmates about that certain ssmate of his and that he had found out that


    that ssmate used to research artificial eyes.Josiah told her that artificial eyes had been a topic being


    researched. s, no one could reach that ssmate anymore.It was not a good sign for


    Winnie.Nevertheless, she was not a pessimistic person. As long as a small me of hope existed, she


    would hold on to that candle.The two of them continued chatting about other topics until they reached


    their destination.Sure enough, as Sebastian had said, the residential area was not essible by car.


    They had to leave the car and walk into it.After many twists and turns, Winnie and the rest reached the


    old traditional medicine practitioner’s house.Winnie stayed there for almost three hours.Unfortunately,


    the old traditional medicine practitioner could not help Winnie out. Still, she shared simr ideas with


    Sebastian, so Sebastian was a little more confident about Winnie’s case.After that, Sebastian led


    Winnie back the way they came from.On their way back, Winnie overheard a fight.It sounded like a


    fight between andlord and a tenant.Thendlord was loud. “You have to move out today! Did you


    think you can rent a ce for free? It’s not as if I didn’t give you chances. I told you about this a month


    ago! Every week, you tell me I have to give you three more days. How many weeks has it been since


    then? Have you given me any money? I’m an ordinary citizen, too! I need to earn a living! I’m not


    running a charity organization here!”It seemed that the tenant had run out of other options, and Winnie


    noted that their voice sounded hoarse. “Please, Ma’am! Just one more week! I caught a cold a few


    days ago. I’m sure you can tell by how my voice changed. Please just give me a few more days to


    recuperate from this cold before I move out. If you kick me out now, I’ll have to wander the streets. The


    weather is getting colder and colder, and I won’t be able to withstand it.”Thendlord’s voice became


    louder. “That’s right. I can hear your voice change, but can you see my hair turning white? If I have pity


    for you, who will do the same for me? My mother’s in the hospital, waiting for me to pay her bills to get


    surgery. Please, can you just spare me? Hurry up and move out so that I can rent the house out


    again!”As thendlord spoke, sounds of things getting thrown could be heard.Winnie guessed that the


    landlord was throwing out the tenant’s things.She could not see, and she could not figure out what was


    going on. She asked Sebastian, “Why don’t we wait for a while before leaving?”“Sounds good.”


    Sebastian nced at the spot before them. “Let’s wait until they’re done in case they throw something


    out.”They stood by the side of the path for a while.Only when silence returned to the corridor did


    Sebastian tell Winnie to keep walking.Winnie agreed, thinking that nothing else was going to happen


    after that. Unexpectedly, right as she took a few steps forward, another burst of shouts sounded out in


    the corridor. Then, someone nearly crashed into her.Winnie guessed that the person had to be the


    tenant, who was pushed out by thendlord.The tenant nearly knocked over Winnie, but Winnie’s


    bodyguard reacted in time to push the tenant away.The tenant fell to the ground.Winnie felt that the


    bodyguard had been too rough and had acted inappropriately upon hearing themotion, so she


    promptly told the bodyguard to help the tenant up.When the tenant heard Winnie’s voice, she snapped


    her head upward.She was wearing a mask because of the cold she caught, so only her eyes were


    visible.Nevertheless, upon taking in Winnie’s face, she quickly lowered her head.She was afraid that


    Winnie would realize who she was.She was none other than Shania.Previously, she had tried to hurt


    Winnie with a knife, and she had seeded. Thereafter, she was apprehended by the police. Later on,


    Stuart tried to get her to work with him against Xavier, so he bailed her out of the cell.However, not long


    after she came out of the cell, Stuart was caught by the police. After hearing news of that, she


    fled.However, all of her identification documents had been taken, and her bank ount had been


    frozen. She could not even leave Avenport, so she could only hide away in the slum.She could not


    even afford the cheapest bed space in the slum and ended up getting kicked out by thendlord.Shania


    had never thought that she would bump into Winnie at a ce like this.
