Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 367

“Why did this happen?” Lisanne was devastated to see her good friend in that state. “I’m fine, and so is my colleague. We’re not feeling any discomfort so far.”

Winnie nodded. “That’s good to hear. Maybe it’s because you were wearing masks at that time, so you didn’t inhale the gas directly. I wonder if those students are fine. The classroom was sealed off at that time, and they might have inhaled some of the gases before the SWAT officers took that thing away.”

Lisanne found her throat tightening as she looked at Winnie, who was separated from her by a wall. “You’re still thinking of the kids at a time like this… But don’t worry. They’ll be given a checkup and will be under observation. If anything happens, we’ll notice it immediately.”

“All right.” Winnie smiled at the glass wall. “You should do the same. You have to undergo scheduled checkups too.”

When Lisanne saw that Winnie was smiling in the wrong direction, she broke down.

She put down the phone and started sobbing miserably.

“Don’t be like this, Lisanne,” Winnie said, sounding cheerful. “I’ll get better. Trust me.”

Right then, Winnie heard someone opening the door and coming in.

She said to Lisanne, “The doctor must be here. I’ll hear what they have to say.”

“Okay.” Not wanting to get in the way of Winnie’s treatment, Lisanne immediately put down the phone.

This time, the ophthalmologists were not the only ones there; Josiah had come as well.

On his way there, he had heard from the other doctors that Winnie had lost her sight.

He desperately wished that it was just a joke or a misunderstanding.

Yet, when he finally stood in front of her, he realized she did not notice that he was there as well, and his heart sank.

Back then, he had guessed that something might go wrong, and he was hoping that the two of them would come back. Little did he expect to be greeted by the sight before him.

The doctors gave Winnie her diagnosis. Their preliminary belief was that her condition might be blindness caused by temporary ischemia of the central retinal artery, but they could not rule out that it could be retinopathy caused by inhalation of radioactive gas, or that the optic nerve had been damaged instead.
