Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Hence, he quickly went to the back and drove off the car with Riley and Jacinta in it.

When he was overtaking the car in front of him, Winnie had already crawled into the back seat to check on Rachel. The moment she heard a car approaching, she turned around subconsciously.

Coincidentally, she met Xavier’s eyes.

However, they only met briefly. In fact, it was so brief that Xavier did not manage to flash her a smile.

When he saw her still in a daze, he could not help but smile and tease, “Why are you staring so intently when he’s already so far away? You’re going to turn into a statue if you keep that up.” Suddenly, he saw Winnie placing her hand on her chest. “H-Hey… Are you okay?”

He frowned and asked, “Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt? Your chest or your heart? Did Harold injure you just now?”

I’m guessing she was already like that when they brought her out of the hospital because they didn’t tie her up. She probably had no energy to struggle or resist. God knows what they have done to her?”

“Okay. Calm down. Let me have a look,” said Josiah as he took out a medical flashlight from his pocket.
