Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)
Chapter 216
Winnie frowned. “Can you guys ask for help from neighboring countries, then?”
“We’ve contacted people in Rodunst, but it will take some time for both parties to go through the procedure. I hope those people can be arrested and brought to justice too! They are simply too outrageous!” Zayn said through gritted teeth and thumped the car hood indignantly.
Winnie’s frown grew deeper.
“What I’m most worried about now is the safety of my granny and Rachel. Under normal circumstances, they would have reached international waters by now. If those people had kept their promise, they should have released my granny and Rachel. But if they don’t keep their word…”
Her voice trailed off.
She was well aware of the possible outcome, but she couldn’t bear to say it out loud.
Sensing her sorrow, Zayn consoled her, “Don’t worry. Our colleagues are heading to the maritime border. If the hostages are released in the open sea, we will immediately initiate search and rescue operation.”
“Thank you! Please feel free to approach me if there’s anything I can help with,” Winnie said. She shook hands with Zayn, then turned around and left.
Right after she was out of Zayn’s sight, she made a call.
The person on the other end of the line answered the call quickly. “What are your orders, Your Majesty? Please use me to your heart’s content!”
Both of them were very close friends, so there was no need for them to exchange pleasantries.
“Help me find a boat.” Winnie went straight to the point. “It’s at the border of the waters of Chanaea and Rodunst, and it’s currently moving at high speed. There are five people on board: three kidnappers and two hostages. The kidnappers are armed with guns and bombs, and the hostages are an elderly woman and a young woman. I need the hostages to come back alive. As for those kidnappers, they don’t deserve to live.”
Lucas, who was the person on the other end of the line, was slightly taken aback. “Wow! A massive operation this time, huh?”
Winnie furrowed her brows. “This is serious, Lucas. I’m not joking with you.”
Lucas hummed in agreement, then continued solemnly, “I just received news that the south dock at Avenport was blown up, and the casualties were quite heavy. Is this the work of those kidnappers you mentioned?”
“Exactly. I almost died. You know what to do.”
“Got it! I promise I’ll find the most ruthless people to handle this matter for you!”
“Lucas, I only need the steadiest ones. One of the hostages is my granny, and I want her to come back unscathed. Money is not an issue. I can afford it no matter the cost.”
“All right. Wait for my news.”
Winnie murmured an acknowledgment before hanging up the phone.
She clutched the phone in her hand and knitted her brows once more.
This country can’t be compared to Epea. Besides Lucas, I don’t have any other useful connections here. Everything is so inconvenient. Damn it!
After composing herself, Winnie went to the ambulance.
Josiah was bandaging the wound on Xavier’s arm.
Stunned by the sight, Winnie asked, “Why are you here, Josiah? Where’s the doctor?”
Josiah didn’t bother to look up as he continued to tend to Xavier’s wound.
“What’s all the fuss about? Am I not a doctor too? There are so many people injured on site. Let’s not waste any medical resources.”
“What about the wound on your back?”
“I’m fine. The injuries on Xavier and I may look terrifying, but it’s not that serious. Besides, we’re young. It will heal in no time.”
Winnie nodded before squatting down in front of Xavier so that she could see his face and he could see hers when he lowered his gaze.
As they locked gazes, Xavier’s eyes were filled with gentleness and warmth. “Have you spoken to Lieutenant Zielinski? How did it go?”
