Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Winnie didn’t immediately leave as she stared at her friend intently.

Seeing that blood was still dripping from Winnie’s palm, Xavier promptly removed his tie and wrapped it around her injury to stop the bleeding.

“Let’s leave first. Your injury needs to be treated in the hospital,” he informed her before pushing her out of the room by her shoulders instead of waiting for her to reply.

Once they were out of the building, he swept her up into his arms.

Winnie was shocked as she reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck. “What are you doing? My hand is the one that’s injured, not my legs.”

“I know.” Upon lowering his head to look at her, Xavier spoke authoritatively while appearing slightly angry. “Can’t I carry you because I feel like it? Also, were you aware of what you were doing earlier? Do you not want your hands anymore? You should’ve let her stab me. If I die, then it means I lose. Do you know, even though you’re the one who’s physically hurt, the pain I feel in my heart is greater than yours?”

Glancing at her hand, she replied, “It’s just a minor injury. Although, I didn’t expect Lisanne had that kind of relationship with Christopher. Her grief is understandable, but now I don’t know how I can comfort her.”

“I think you should leave her be for the time being. We’re a married couple, so it’s possible her anger and hatred toward me might extend to you. You should wait until she calms down a bit before speaking to her again. For now, let’s head to the hospital.”

As Xavier spoke, he had already brought Winnie to the car. Then, he put her into the vehicle before heading toward the driver’s seat.

When she saw him ready to take a u-turn to the hospital, she rapidly stopped him. “No need to go there. The bleeding has already stopped, and the wound’s not deep. We can treat this back in our room.”

However, he disagreed with her suggestion. “Why should we do that when there’s a hospital we can go to? Do you think we can take care of it more professionally than a doctor?”

Still, she insisted, “I can handle a minor injury. Besides, we’re in a hurry right now!”
