Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Fairchild residence could only help Nate stop his bleeding from the gunshot wound with whatever he

could find in the first aid kit.

If he was only shot in the arm, Nate couldn’t be in much trouble.

Could it be that Nate had also been shot elsewhere? Since Nate was always causing Winnie trouble,

she would have no problem ignoring those cries for help.

However, she couldn’t ignore the cries of a mother.

Indeed, Beatrice’s cries for help reminded Winnie of her own mother.

Therefore, after a few seconds of hesitation, Winnie turned around and walked toward Beatrice and

Nate.

When Winnie got there, she saw Beatrice panicking and tearing Nate’s clothes apart to check his body.

“What’s going on? How did this happen? Jonathan, do something! What’s wrong with Nate? Is he

injured elsewhere?” Beatrice asked.

Right next to them, there were several hornets that had been trampled to death. Winnie also saw two

hornet’s nests the size of a fist under a tree not far away.

Winnie quickly checked Nate’s condition and immediately told Beatrice to stop what she was doing.

“Beatrice, you can’t keep wrapping your arms around him that way. It seems like he’s choking on

something. Hold him up and remove whatever that’s stuck in his throat!”

“Okay!” For some reason, Beatrice became calm upon hearing Winnie’s words. It was as if Winnie’s

words were as reliable as a doctor’s.

“What’s next, Winnie? What should I do now? I’ve already checked his body, and he was only shot in

the arm. He was still talking to me just now. What could be choking him? He just suddenly rolled his

eyes backward and had trouble breathing.”

“Calm down. You can’t panic now.” Unlike Beatrice, Winnie seemed as cool as a cucumber. “I need two

people to help me. I need one person to force his mouth open and the other to shine a light into his

mouth.”

As soon as those words fell, Jonathan squatted down and forced Nate’s mouth open.

Kevin, who had just arrived at the scene in a rush, quickly switched on the flashlight on his phone.

With the help of those two men from the Fraser family, Winnie stuck her fingers into Nate’s mouth.

While moving her fingers around, she explained, “I think a hornet had made its way into his mouth. If

it’s just blocking his windpipe, that shouldn’t be too troublesome. However, these hornets are extremely

poisonous. If it were to sting Nate before it died, things are going to get dicey. Open his mouth wider,

please. He’s biting on my fingers, and I can’t work like this.”

At that point, the members of the Fraser family were willing to listen to whatever Winnie had to say.

Moments later, Winnie pulled out a half-finger-length, two-finger-width dead hornet from Nate’s throat.

Everyone at the scene was stunned when they saw the size of the dead hornet.

Beatrice’s face turned pale in an instant. “That’s a big hornet! It’s very poisonous, right? Where’s the

ambulance? Why isn’t the ambulance here yet?”

Winnie took the flashlight from Kevin and looked inside Nate’s mouth. After touching Nate’s throat

gently, she uttered in a serious tone, “There’s another one in his windpipe. He needs an operation now

to stay alive. If we wait, he might not survive this. If you guys want him to live, you can’t wait for the

ambulance. By the time it gets here, he would be long gone.”

“An operation?” Beatrice glanced at her husband and looked at Winnie. “Who’s going to perform the

operation? We don’t have a doctor present. What operation are you talking about? Is it risky?”

“It’s a tracheotomy,” Winnie explained calmly. “It’s actually quite common. I’ve done it when I was in the

wilderness. The situation was so urgent that we couldn’t wait for the doctor to come.”

At that moment, Nate’s situation was just as urgent. He could barely breathe on his own anymore.

Without a tracheotomy, he only had three minutes left to live.

“Are you confident in performing the operation?” Beatrice was at a loss. She turned toward her

husband and said, “Jonathan, make a decision, will you? Nate is running out of breath.”

Jonathan was so nervous that he was sweating bullets. However, he quickly came to a decision. “Ms.

Garland, if you’re able to perform the operation, please save Nate’s life. If he lives, you’ll be our family’s

savior!”

“What if something goes wrong and Nate dies?” With a calm expression, Winnie asked, “What is the

Fraser family going to do to me?”

Jonathan frowned slightly but remained firm. “If he dies, it has nothing to do with you, Ms. Garland! At

least you’re trying to save Nate.”

Winnie nodded and whipped out her phone to wave it in front of their faces. “You meant what you said,

right? I’ve recorded it, Mr. Fraser. If something bad were to happen, I hope the Fraser family will honor

those words.”

With that, she started ordering the others around.

As a matter of fact, she was very confident in performing such a minor operation. Back then, she had

already learned it when she went to the wilderness for survival training with other members of the

family. This kind of emergency operation is as common to me as CPR and bandaging someone up.

“Now, hurry up and find something to put under his shoulders. I want his head to lean backward. After

that, I need you guys to work together. One of you should hold his head still and straight to prevent him

from moving. Someone needs to bring the first aid kit to me. I need rubbing alcohol and a straw. I also

need gauze. Quick!” Winnie ordered.

“Okay!” “Right away!”

“By the way, someone please go and check on my granny. I need to know that she’s safe and sound,”

Winnie uttered.

“Okay, Mrs. Fairchild!” a housekeeper answered immediately. “I’ll go now!”

Shortly after, Nate was held in position. Rubbing alcohol, a straw, and gauze were also brought to

Winnie.

The only thing they didn’t have was a scalpel because the first aid kit didn’t have a scalpel in it.

Fortunately, Winnie had two scalpels in her acupuncture kit.

Winnie hurriedly took out one scalpel and disinfected it. Her movements were swift and precise. Within

seconds, she made the incision and inserted the disinfected straw into his windpipe.

At that point, the operation was half-completed.

She then needed to remove everything that was blocking his windpipe. That included a hornet and

bloody sputum.

However, the conditions there were rudimentary, and it was incomparable to a hospital. She had no

machine, so she could only suck out those things with her mouth.

Upon taking a deep breath, she leaned down toward Nate.

With all her strength, she sucked the dead hornet out of his windpipe.

As a consequence, she choked herself. It was a slightly smaller hornet, so it almost went down her

throat.

After spitting the hornet out, she felt discomfort in her throat. Even so, she knew the priority was to

save Nate’s life.

Once again, she leaned down toward him to suck out the bloody sputum and secretions stuck in Nate’s

windpipe.

In fact, Nate could already breathe on his own the moment the hornet was sucked out.

Although he almost died of choking, he was aware of what was happening around him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and slightly parted his lips.

Straightaway, he saw Winnie sucking the secretions out of his windpipe without minding it being

disgusting. That’s Winnie, no? She’s my enemy. Why is she doing this?

Nate moved his lips. Right when he was about to open his mouth, Winnie stopped him and said, “Don’t

talk! Just keep breathing the fresh air. Don’t harm your throat even more!”

However, Nate wasn’t just going to back down. Even though he couldn’t utter a word, he could still

move his hands. He ended up shoving Winnie aside when she was about to intubate him.

In response, Winnie glared at him and fumed, “You don’t want me to save your life, do you? I’m just

doing this for your mom’s sake, okay? Do you think I’m doing this for you?”

Once she had bandaged him and intubated him, the operation was completed.

Seeing that their son was alive, Beatrice and Jonathan immediately expressed their gratitude toward

Winnie.

Winnie wiped the blood off of her hands and uttered flatly, “Get him to lie down flat and wait for the

ambulance.”

With that, she was ready to leave the scene. The moment she stood up, she saw that the courtyard

where Rufus lived was ablaze with fire. In fact, the flame was burning brightly, and it dyed half of the

sky red.

From afar, people were shouting, “Fire! Fire! Send help to put out the fire!”

Winnie frowned immediately. Beatrice was talking to her, but Winnie just couldn’t hear her anymore.

Instead of listening to what Beatrice was saying, Winnie immediately ran toward the fire.

The Fairchild residence was mostly made of wood. The wind was strong that night, and the fire was

getting out of hand.

Before Winnie even got near the fire, she could feel the intense heat in the air. In fact, smoke and

ashes were everywhere.

“Xavier! Xavier! Where are you?” Winnie ran into the courtyard and caught no sign of Xavier.

The butler heard her shouting, so he approached her and urged, “Mrs. Fairchild! Stay away! You’ll get

burnt!”

At that moment, Winnie couldn’t care about anything else anymore. “Where’s Xavier? Where’s

Grandpa Rufus? Where are they?”

“Old Mr. Fairchild is still inside. Mr. Xavier had gone in there to save Old Mr. Fairchild! We tried, but we

couldn’t stop Mr. Xavier! When I got here, the place was already on fire, and someone had locked Old

Mr. Fairchild inside. Since Old Mr. Fairchild couldn’t get out of there, Mr. Xavier rushed in to rescue him.

It had been a few minutes already, but no one has come out of the fire yet. What are you doing, Mrs.

Fairchild? Don’t go in there! It’s dangerous! The fire is blazing!”
