Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

As she said that, she was reassuring herself as well as Josiah.

Then she let go of Xavier’s and Josiah’s hands. “All right. I’m going in for the examination now. Go get busy.”

While Winnie was getting examined, Xavier asked Josiah, “Is what you said true? Or are you only saying that to comfort her?”

Frowning, Josiah said, “It’s true! It’s just that I had just been dumped back then and lost interest in everything. That’s why I didn’t go deeper into the area of artificial eyes. If my classmates have been researching it, there should at least be some progress. It’s been several years since they started.”

A sense of hope rose within Xavier. “That’s great. Hurry up and contact this classmate of yours, then. I’ll pay it no matter what the price is.”

“I know. I will. Winnie’s my friend, too. I’ll do everything I can to get in touch with my classmate, but”—Josiah hesitated momentarily—“we’ve basically lost contact with this classmate. It’s going to take some effort to find him.”

“It’s fine. We have time. It doesn’t matter as long as you can find him.” To Xavier, it did not matter if it took several years as long as Winnie did not have to be blind for the rest of her life.

At that point, Josiah had calmed down. “Okay, but the situation might not be ideal. The subject of making artificial eyes is quite popular. If they actually created one, there should have been some kind of news about it. Even the Alpha radioactive gas caught the attention of the terrorists. The topic of artificial eyes should attract even more attention. It shouldn’t be this quiet.”

Xavier responded firmly, “I understand what you mean. Even if there are no artificial eyes created, we’ll make one on our own. So, go ahead and call that old classmate of yours. Whether he made no progress or was forced to stop for some reason, we can take over and continue with the research. It doesn’t matter if it takes ten, twenty, or even thirty years. I’m willing to pay for all of it even if I go bankrupt.”

Josiah’s lips curled to form a bitter smile. “It shouldn’t cause you to go bankrupt, but that sentence gave me confidence.”

Xavier patted Josiah’s shoulder and prompted, “Hurry up and call him.”

“Okay.” Josiah cast the examination room one last glance before turning around to leave.

The examination results were not promising, but Winnie had already expected that.

Xavier, too, had slowly learned to accept the truth.
