Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

As soon as Winnie and Leandro entered the room, Christopher thanked the man for saving his life.

Leandro had another reason for visiting Christopher—he wanted to take the man under his wing.

However, Christopher indirectly turned down the offer. “You saved my life, so I’m supposed to work for you in return. Sadly, I’m of no use to you since I’m bound to my sickbed like this.”

Chuckling, Leandro responded, “What are you talking about? The most important thing now is for you to get enough rest. I can’t have you climbing out of your bed to work for me now, can I? We’ll talk again after you’ve fully recovered. You and Vivian are close, and she’s already family to us. We’ll welcome you with open arms when it’s time for you to come home.”

“That’s right.” Winnie nodded at Christopher. “As Boss said, you’ll definitely be with me. You don’t need to worry about anything now. I’ll make the arrangements for you when you’re well again.”

Then, the woman turned to look at Leandro. “Isn’t that right, Boss? I can still make the arrangements for him, right?”

“Of course. He belongs to you, so it’s only fair that you get the final say.”

In response, Winnie simply brushed off that statement with a half-smile before voicing, “I’m glad to hear you say that, Boss. However, do you mind waiting for me outside? Chris and I have some personal matters to discuss.”

“Don’t let me stop you!” Leandro immediately stood up, ready to leave. “I’ll get out of your hair then. You’ll have to hurry up, though. The doctor just told us that we shouldn’t stay too long.”

To that, Winnie nodded understandingly before walking Leandro out of the room.

As soon as Leandro left, Winnie locked the door behind her and hurried back to Christopher, whose gaze never left the woman.

Christopher instinctively extended his hand to Winnie when she returned to his side.

Without a second thought, the woman swiftly grabbed Christopher’s hand.

She tightened her grip for but a few seconds before letting go of the man. “I don’t have much time, so I’ll keep it as brief as possible.”

Christopher withdrew his hand and nodded. “Tell me. Is there anything I can do now?”

“There is!” Winnie’s smile instantly enlivened the atmosphere in the room. “There’s no way I’m going to let you lie in bed while I work my as* off.”

“Sure. I just so happened to be someone who can’t stand doing nothing,” voiced Christopher with a chuckle.

Only after that did Winnie tell the man all about how they got rescued and what happened in the past two days.

“That’s why what we have to do now is contact Xavier and my mercenaries and shake off Leandro,” concluded Winnie in the end. “Having found our first buyer, he’s requesting that I provide a sample. On top of that, I’ve already figured out how to get out. I just need to find the right opportunity to create chaos so we can escape. However, what worries me the most is you. You can’t even walk on your own, and there are so many people guarding the hospital. I have to wait until you escape first before I make my move. The alternative is we make a break for it together. If we mess this up, they’ll surely hold you hostage. We might even end up putting your life in danger.”

Even though Christopher knew Winnie had a point, he still could not help but frown. “But you’re also putting yourself in danger.”

Winnie smiled nonchalantly in response to that. “Don’t worry. I’ve already used up all my bad luck in my childhood, so I’ve been nothing but lucky in everything I do ever since. I believe it’ll be no exception this time. You can do it too!”

Looking at Winnie, Christopher nodded unconvincedly. “I don’t believe in luck, but I do believe in you.”

Winnie was glad that the man had unconditional confidence in her. “That’s more like it. Seeing how you’ve put your trust in me, I won’t let you down.”

After hearing that, Christopher nodded once again with a soft smile.

The man, however, was keeping something from Winnie.

He wanted to tell her that he would not mind even if she disappointed him.

After all, Winnie was the reason Christopher was still alive then.

The woman then decided not to waste any more time. Since she could not move her right arm, Winnie extended her left arm to Christopher.

“What are you doing?” inquired the man, puzzled by Winnie’s action.

“Remove the ring for me,” answered Winnie, wiggling her finger. “This is our only way to reach Xavier. I tried sending him messages a few days ago, but I didn’t get any response at all. Maybe he couldn’t reply to my messages because he was on the move, or there could be a problem with his receiver. I don’t really know what kind of situation he’s found himself in, but I believe he’s also trying to reach us. When you can do next is try to contact him again and see if you can get him to respond. It shouldn’t be hard for him to find the hospital. If he can just get our messages, I’m sure he’ll be here in no time. As for us, I’ll give you a video call every day, and we’ll keep in touch that way. As soon as we reach Xavier, we’ll make our move. This time, we’ll be sure to make it back home!”

After nodding in silence, Christopher slowly removed the ring from Winnie’s ring finger.
