Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Initially, the latter thought of running for her life, but she had sprained her ankle. Not to mention, after

going through the petrifying moments a while ago, she could scarcely lift a finger.

The moment she saw Winnie approaching her with the stun gun, however, the only thing in her mind

was to flee at once. Since she could not run, she crawled on the floor instead.

Staring at the old lady as though she were a clown, Winnie headed toward her gradually and squatted

next to her. “Do you think you’re still able to escape?”

Needless to say, she did not forget the person who had incapacitated her earlier with the stun gun. The

next second, she pressed it on the old lady’s body and activated a button to let the latter have a taste of

her own medicine.

On the heels of that, she called Josiah immediately and briefed him about the current circumstance.

After that, she called the ambulance and lodged a police report.

With that, she could finally check on the security guard. “Are you all right? The ambulance will be

reaching soon. Please hang on.”

He could still answer, “I think two of my ribs are broken. Other than that, I’m fine.”

Seeing that he was still conscious and had no problems moving his limbs, Winnie heaved a sigh of

relief before checking on Yulissa.

Earlier on, the back of the latter’s head hit a rock after Xavier threw her to the ground. Subsequently,

her wound had been bleeding profusely. Even if Winnie intended to save her, it was obviously too late.

“Argh…” Yulissa could only open her mouth to make meaningless sounds. She seemed to have lost

the ability to speak.

Winnie’s frown deepened into a scowl as she stared at the heinous woman, devoid of expression. “You

should pay the price of your heinousness! If Xavier can’t be cured, I won’t let you rest in peace even

after your body has rotted in the grave!”

Ten minutes later, Josiah’s car was the first to reach the scene, followed by the ambulance and a police

car.

Before getting into Josiah’s car, Winnie checked on Yulissa intentionally and discovered that she

seemed to have stopped breathing.

As Winnie was worried stiff with Xavier’s condition in the hospital, she assigned Nathaniel to be in

charge of the post-event cleanup for the anniversary celebration.

All the doctors attending Xavier in the consultation room specialized in neurology. Therefore, Josiah

found that he could not be of much help and accompanied Winnie outside the room instead. At the

same time, he took the chance to get a grasp of the situation from her.

Shortly after, Winnie turned out to be the one asking him questions instead.

“When did he start displaying the symptoms? I overheard Yulissa saying that she had given him the

first injection when she pretended to be abducted on the wreckage previously,” she asked

apprehensively.

After much contemplation, Josiah elucidated, “We didn’t have any sample to identify the venom at that

time and could only assume he was injected with an ordinary drug. If you didn’t bring the venom back

today, we might still be unable to detect anything. After all, there’s no such thing on the market. I bet

you were roughly aware of the first injection too. Can you recall he once hit the captain of the Narcotics

Enforcement Department outside your condominium unit in Aqua Moana? He told me everything about

that. I heard you tried to talk things out with him later at his condominium unit. After that, you quarreled

with him and requested to break up. In actuality, he had started to sense that he had lost control of his

emotion at that very moment. That was why he asked you to leave and stop appearing in front of him

again. I bet you must have misunderstood him at that moment, assuming he agreed to break up with

you.”

After a pause, Josiah added, “That was not the case, of course. He was actually fearful of hurting you if

he were to lose control. After knowing that you headed to another mansion owned by the Garland

family to meet your stepmother, he even requested me to follow closely behind you in my car. Besides

that, I received Yulissa’s phone call the day itself. She requested my help to inject a sedative into her

body to suppress her drug addiction by reassuring me that she would not take drugs again. I chose to

believe her, only to find out that she was making an excuse to approach Xavier. At that time, she was

waiting for Xavier outside his condominium unit. Thus, I sent Xavier back so they could have a chat.

Halfway through, Yulissa infuriated Xavier, and he seemed to have started losing control of his emotion.

Yulissa even went berserk and bit Xavier. Come to think of it, she could have given Xavier an injection

at that moment and bit him deliberately to cover up the needle mark with her bite mark. What a cunning

woman! Well, I can only blame myself for my negligence. How could I have overlooked the needle hole

when I attended to his wound? Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have dragged on for so long. After the

second injection, his frequency of displaying the symptoms increased. There were even times when he

had short-term memory loss. However, I couldn’t detect any problems even after I had conducted blood

tests for him numerous times.”

“I see… So that’s what happened.” Winnie knitted her brows. She used to think Xavier’s jealousy and

impulsive violence were due to his pride and sheer possessiveness. It only struck her that he was

already intoxicated by the venom injected by Yulissa before that.
