Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Okay, I’ll come over right away.”

Hanging up the phone, Winnie quickened her pace and went back to Nate’s hospital room.

As she knew that Xavier was the only person in the hospital room then, her guard was lowered. For that reason, someone caught her off guard and hugged her the instant she pushed open the room door.

She instinctively tensed all over when she suddenly ended up in someone’s arms.

But soon, she relaxed, for she knew the person hugging her at that second was none other than Xavier.

Lifting her hand, she smacked him on the back. “You’ve got to remember that I’m not the average person. If it weren’t for my familiarity with your smell, you would’ve definitely gotten pummeled now.”

Xavier hugged her, the indulgence in his eyes so overwhelming that it could almost drown someone. “Don’t you know that I’m so reckless precisely because of that?”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice. “Say, Dumbo, how do other married couples deal with it? Why is it that I always feel that you’re far away from me? Whenever I can’t see you, the urge to tie you to my side grips me hard. Am I sick?”

“Yeah, you’re more or less sick, but I’ve got the cure. Are you interested in it?”

“Yup! I want everything you give me. You’re the only one who can cure me.” Burying his head in the crook of Winnie’s neck, Xavier took a deep breath of her natural fragrance.

Winnie understood that he was whispering sweet nothings to her.

To her, however, that remark also carried an underlying meaning.

He was injected with the venom by Yulissa in his bid to save me, but I’ll definitely cure him of it. Regardless of whether it’s the traditional or modern medicine route, I’ll do everything possible!

She lifted her hand and caressed his head. Subsequently, she asked, “Where’s Yulissa right now? We must capture her!”

Her tone was firm and resolute when she said that, so Xavier immediately dropped his hold on her.

He regarded her warily. “Don’t tell me you’re planning to go there in person?”

“Yes. I’ll worry if it were anyone else.” The expression on Winnie’s face was exceedingly solemn.

“But I’ll worry if you go. If you insist on going, I’ll go as well.”
