Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

As Christopher was severely wounded, Winnie had him sit between her and Riley to keep him from falling off the motorcycle.

When the first rays of the morning sun poured into the dense forest, Winnie turned around and exclaimed excitedly, “The sun is up, Christopher! Now that it’s easier to see where we’re going, I can go a little faster! It won’t be long before we reach the rendezvous point! We can all go home soon! Just hang in there a little bit longer, okay?”

This time, however, she did not get a response from Christopher.

Feeling a little worried, Winnie turned around and called out to him again, “Christopher? Hey, Christopher! Are you okay? Say something! Stop scaring me! This isn’t funny!”

The main road was just up ahead, but Winnie decided to pull over to check on Christopher anyway.

Riley had the first aid kit in his hand when they fled the scene earlier, but they didn’t have time to treat Christopher’s wounds as they were too busy making their escape in the dark.

With the sun up in the sky and no threats in the area, Winnie was finally able to tend to Christopher’s wounds. With Riley’s help, she carried Christopher off the motorcycle and gave his body a quick examination.

Although there were no gunshot wounds, Winnie noticed a stab wound on his abdomen and identified it as the cause of his excessive blood loss.

Fortunately, Winnie was able to stop the bleeding with the supplies from the first aid kit. Nonetheless, she still needed to get Christopher to a hospital for a blood transfusion or he could go into shock.

Winnie then quickly packed the things back into the first aid kit and told Riley, “We need to get him to a hospital as soon as possible! Come on, let’s help him onto the motorcycle!”

“Right! I’ll take his left side, so you can take his right!” Riley replied, his voice sounding a little muffled by the motorcycle helmet.

After helping Christopher onto the motorcycle, Winnie kicked it into high gear and sped off as quickly as possible.

In just a matter of minutes, they made it onto the main road, which was a lot wider and smoother than the jungle trail.

Winnie was just starting to enjoy the smooth ride when the motorcycle ran out of gas all of a sudden.

The look on her face was frozen in shock when the motorcycle came to a complete halt on the main road.

What the… I don’t believe it! Why would this motorcycle fail me at such a crucial moment?

Still in disbelief, Winnie repeatedly tried to start the motorcycle, but to no avail.

Her sweat continued flowing down her cheeks and into the collar of her shirt.

At that very moment, she couldn’t even bring herself to face Christopher.

She didn’t want to tell him that he could’ve been rushed to a hospital but would end up dying because the motorcycle ran out of fuel.

Suddenly, Winnie had flashbacks of the explosion, the firefight, Christopher sobbing about his comrades dying before him, and Xavier asking her to meet him at the rendezvous point.

For some reason, she subconsciously glanced at the navigation device, only to realize that the blip representing Xavier’s car had been stationary for a long time.

As though her brain had stopped working, all of her logic and reason went out the window in an instant.
