Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 210

Xavier, too, felt something was amiss.

“It’s unlike him to not answer his phone. Even if he gets a call while he’s fast asleep at two or three in the morning, he answers it within five rings. I think we should head back and have a look.”

Xavier was about to get up from the bed when Winnie pushed him back down.

“There are only a few minutes left; it won’t make a difference. If you go now, these dozens of needles I’ve inserted will have been for nothing.” The worried look on Winnie’s face was replaced by a stern expression.

Xavier felt a warm sensation in his heart when he heard that. Winnie could see her reflection in his eyes as he held her hand and looked straight at her.

“Dumbo, am I as important as your granny to you now?” Xavier asked.

Winnie stifled a sob as she looked at Xavier, who had suffered many times for her sake.

The look in her eyes slowly grew gentle as she swallowed hard to fight back her tears. “What do you think? Do you not know how much you mean to me?”

Xavier tightened his grip on her hand. “I just had to make sure I wasn’t being delusional.”

Winnie let out a chuckle. “Haha! Who’s the dumbo now? Xavier, I want you to trust me unconditionally, okay?”

“Okay, I will. Do you trust me as well?” Xavier asked with a firm look in his eyes.

Winnie nodded. “Of course.”

Those words had barely left her mouth when Josiah’s call came in.

She quickly pulled her hand out of Xavier’s grip and answered the phone.

“Josiah? Are you at Aqua Moana? Why weren’t you picking up my calls?”

Noticing the anxiety in her voice, Josiah quickly explained, “It wasn’t convenient for me to answer the phone earlier, but it’s okay now. I called you back as soon as I could. Did something happen?”

“You could say that. I tried calling my granny, but I couldn’t get through. I was wondering if you could head over to my place and help check on her,” Winnie replied.

Josiah’s response, however, shocked her deeply.
