Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 215

In the face of a disaster that came so suddenly, those who did not see it coming were unable to react at all.

After all, it came like a bolt of lightning.

At that moment, Winnie thought she could escape, but everything happened too quickly.

She felt the heat of the explosion and was soon caught in the massive wave of water that followed after the explosion. The scene of her turning around and making a run for it seemed so still that it resembled a picture.

Just as Winnie felt as if she was going to be swallowed whole, everything Xavier had said to her just a couple of minutes ago began running through her mind in that split second.

I believe in you, Winnie. I’m also willing to place my trust in the police. However, I can’t trust Zyon or take any chances. I’m terrified of anything and everything bad that might happen to you, so please promise me you won’t put yourself in such a dangerous position again.

Back then, Winnie had promised him she would not rush into dangerous situations anymore, but she did not mean it at all. As a matter of fact, she had only made the promise to placate Xavier.

Winnie believed in herself regardless if people thought of her as arrogant or proud. But alas, a single person’s capability was nowhere near adequate in the face of a massive disaster.

The well-trained SWAT officers were all thrown into the air by the force of the wave and couldn’t fight back at all.

Nonetheless, Winnie mustered all of her strength and ran forward.

As time ticked by, the rumbling above her head grew louder and louder.

The massive piece of steel was about to fall on her, but Winnie only felt one side of her body go numb. Just then, her body was propelled by a force, and she landed about two meters away, completely avoiding the piece of steel.

After that, the turbulent wave crashed onto the shore, a loud rumble resounding in its wake.

Winnie didn’t know what was pressing her onto the ground as the impact of the wave made her feel dizzy, and her mind was foggy.

Fortunately, the tide went away just as quickly as it came.

The water level returned to normal soon after, and Winnie was finally able to breathe in some fresh air.

As she tried to move her body, she felt the weight that was on her back roll off by itself, and the rolling motion was followed by a low grunt.

It was not until she heard the voice that Winnie realized the thing that was on her back was actually a person.

Needless to say, she was shell-shocked when she turned her face to the side to catch a glimpse of the person who had saved her. The person in question was none other than Josiah.

Winnie’s limbs were all intact, and she quickly stumbled to her knees. “Are you all right?” she asked.

Afraid that Josiah would lose consciousness, she kept talking to him while examining his body.

He had flung his body over hers, and it was his selfless gesture that had saved Winnie’s life. He sustained a long and nasty gash over his back. The wound was bleeding profusely, and his torn shirt had long been stained scarlet.

“Josiah! Josiah!” Winnie furrowed her brows. “Can you hear me? Wake up! You can’t die here. Do you hear me?”

“Ouch…” Josiah sucked in a breath and chastised the woman, “God! My arm hurts. Stop shaking me.”

Winnie didn’t realize Josiah had also grazed his arm until he said that. After getting a better look at the state of his arm, she realized the wound was huge.

“Come, I’ll help you up. Let’s go take care of your wounds.” She was prepared to lift Josiah up as she spoke.

However, the man did not cooperate with her. Instead, he pushed her away and broke into laughter.

Winnie frowned in confusion. “Did you hit your head, or did some seawater get into your brain? Are you tired of living already?”

“Of course not! But what about you? Do you not care about your husband?”

“What do you mean?”

Winnie found Josiah’s words to be strange. Despite that, she felt her gut instinct guiding her to turn her head to the side and look.

Winnie listened to her gut instinct and looked to her right, only to see Xavier lying next to her.

No wonder! I felt something break my fall after I got pushed down. It didn’t hurt as much as I had anticipated. It turns out that the pair of arms that grabbed my waist belonged to Xavier!

At that moment, a steel bar had pierced through Xavier’s arm.
