Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 58

Winnie flashed Josiah a faint smile in response. She simply couldn’t bring herself to like the elegant-looking gentleman standing before her, especially when he was eyeing her from head to toe through those gold-rimmed glasses of his.

It felt just like the time she met him at Xavier’s Lagune Mansion.

She then pretended to be surprised as she said, “Did you get it all mixed up, Dr. Houghton? My previous patient wasn’t an old teacher. He’s a retired soldier, and his surname is ‘Ward,’ not ‘Wood.’ It wasn’t easy getting along with his children. Thankfully, his daughter has returned from overseas with housekeepers and caretakers to look after him, so our services are no longer required.”

Josiah froze when he heard how natural yet precise her answer was.

“Oh, I see… I’ve been so busy lately that my memory is all jumbled up. Anyway, I’m glad to hear that it has all been taken care of. Mr. Fairchild recently lost someone very important to him, so his mental state can be quite unstable. You need to be extra careful when taking care of him.”

Someone very important to him? Who could it be? Dumbo? Heh… Winnie nodded. “Got it.”

“Here, have some tea. Your eyes have been swollen lately, right? This will help with the swelling,” Josiah said while handing her a cup of tea.

Winnie smiled at him as she reached for the teacup. “Thank you, Dr. Houghton.”

Josiah stared briefly at the palm of her right hand before standing up. “I need to head back to the hospital. Just give me a call if anything happens.”

“Don’t worry; I will. Here, I’ll walk you to the door.”

After sending Josiah off, Winnie closed the door and returned to her room before removing her hidden earpiece.

Good thing I decided to have Paulina listen in on the conversation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to answer Josiah’s questions earlier. I could get exposed if I answer even one of them wrongly!

Winnie added a strong sleeping pill into the milk and watched Xavier finish it before going to bed.
