Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 273

As a splatter of warm blood covered Winnie, the lifeless Yulissa began slumping down.

Unable to support Yulissa’s dead weight, Winnie had no choice but to allow the former to collapse onto the ground.

The sight of the corpse stunned Winnie, for the dead Yulissa wore a strange expression on her face.

Although her eyes were wide open and brimming with indignance, she looked as if she was gloating instead.

Baffled by the sight, Winnie wondered, How can she be so smug even in death?

Meanwhile, Josiah and Nate had blocked the door with the metal box. At the sound of the gunshot, both of them rushed over to check.

Greeted by the sight of Yulissa’s corpse, Nate stood frozen. Even though he had walked up to her with his eyebrows furrowed intensely, he couldn’t help but stagger back. Filled with disbelief, he still couldn’t accept the truth that was laid bare in front of him.

Staring at the dead Yulissa’s wide-opened eyes and devious smile, Josiah could instantly feel his hair stand on end.

Brows knitted, he knelt down to close her eyes but failed to wipe the smile off her face.

Unable to bear the sight of her eerie expression, he took off his shirt and covered her face with it.

Thereafter, he looked up at Winnie. “How are you feeling? Is your arm all right?”

Upon giving her right hand a stretch, the immediate pain she felt caused her to grimace. “Not really.”

She then raised her head toward the sky. “The helicopter is about to arrive. Let’s get ready to board.”

At the sight of Winnie leaving, Josiah quickly questioned her, “Where’s your black badge? Did you ask Yulissa about it?”

Winnie frowned at Yulissa’s body. “Prior to this, she claimed to have hidden it in a location that only she knows.”

“What are you going to do now?” Josiah began feeling anxious on Winnie’s behalf. “Obviously, she isn’t talking anymore.”

“I’ll have to forget about it,” Winnie flatly replied. “Even if she lives, it would be unlikely for her to reveal it anyway.”

“You have a point.” Josiah nodded.

In spite of his words, he frisked Yulissa’s body but didn’t find anything.

As the result didn’t come as a surprise, he got to his feet and quickly caught up with Winnie.

Before he had the chance to ask Winnie about what had happened to Christopher, the helicopter arrived.

As its spinning rotors roared out loud, one could only speak by screaming at the top of one’s voice. Thus, Josiah decided to raise the matter with Winnie only when they were back.

The moment the helicopter landed on the rooftop, Winnie and Josiah began to move the others.

Despite her desire to help, Winnie was stopped by Josiah.

He—amidst the deafening sound of the rotors—yelled, “You don’t have to help. Just take care of your arm.”

Throwing Josiah’s bleeding leg a glance, Winnie was filled with concern. “Is your leg all right? Can you bear the pain? Remember not to force yourself.”
