Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Not only that, but she was also feeling dizzy.

When she tried to contact the others with her earpiece, she realized she had lost it. I must’ve dropped it when I jumped out of the car.

Only after resting on the ground for a few seconds could she hear properly again.

The first thing Winnie heard was Rachel groaning in pain beside her.

“Rach!” Worried that Rachel could be injured, Winnie hurriedly crawled over to the woman.

When Winnie saw Rachel lying face down on the floor, she immediately turned the latter over to prevent suffocation.

However, Rachel was unconscious. Even though she was groaning, her eyes were shut. Besides moaning in pain, she could only indistinctly mutter the names of her loved ones.

Winnie could not help but frown in distress as she looked at the frail and piteous Rachel, whose cheek felt shockingly hot when Winnie reached out to touch it.

Even though Winnie knew Rachel probably could not hear or understand her, she promised the latter in a firm tone anyway, “Don’t worry, Rach. I’ll take you to a doctor soon, and everything will be okay. Trust me. It won’t be long before you see your father and brother again!”

With that, Winnie pulled out a dagger from her military boot and began cutting the grass near her.

The woman knew she had to get ready to fight because Zyon and the others were still around. On top of that, she had no idea if Jacinta and Xavier were even alive.

Since she could not leave Rachel exposed like that, she decided to cover her with grass.

After that, Winnie quickly removed the thatch in front of her to see what was going on on the road.

However, as soon as she revealed half of her head, a bullet flew past her cheek.

Winnie instantly felt as if the side of her face had been set on fire. Unsurprisingly, she found blood all over her hand after touching the wound.

“D*mn it!” the woman could not help but curse as she stared at the crimson blood on her hand. They got my face!

Still, she did not have the luxury of worrying about her appearance. She intended to move to the side where the ground was lower and the bushes thicker. That spot would be more suitable for stealth and sneak attacks.

Just when she was about to get into a half-squat position and make a move, two people suddenly jumped down to her side.

With her quick reflexes, Winnie instantly reacted by pressing the barrel of her gun against one of the mysterious people.

The other party had decent reflexes as well. She spoke the second Winnie’s gun was pointed at her. “Don’t shoot, Ms. Garland! It’s me.”

Winnie immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Greta’s voice, so she looked up and realized that the two people who landed beside her were none other than Greta and Jacinta.

Looking at her unscathed grandmother, Winnie was rid of half her worries.

The woman then quickly pressed Jacinta down on the ground, afraid her grandmother would get hurt by a bullet. “Keep your head down, Granny. We’re not out of the woods yet.”

“Okay!” responded Jacinta with a nod. However, she got anxious as soon as she noticed the blood on Winnie’s face. “You’re bleeding, Winnie! You’re hurt!”
