Silly Bride

Chapter 13

to get a divorce and remarry already?” “Well, duh? If it were you, would you be willing to spend the rest of your life with a fool? Mr. Xavier has agreed to it. I heard that Old Mr. Fairchild wanted Mr. Xavier to compensate that fool, but he was very reluctant to do it.” “That’s true. Now that Mr. Xavier is awake, who knows how many people are begging to marry him? Although this fool is extremely pretty, is there any use for it?” The two housekeepers continued chatting animatedly as they went further away. Only when they were at a distance did Winnie stand up with the puppy in her arms. She looked at the brightly lit house in front of her and smirked. Hmph! This is the first time someone has made little of me since growing up. Marrying and divorcing me as he pleases? Does he see me as a pushover? I will decide for myself whether or not to leave the Fairchild family and when to leave! At eight in the evening, an ultra-luxurious Cadillac drove out of the Fairchild residence. Seated in the back seat were Xavier and Winnie, both staying silent. Winnie was busy blowing hot air on the car window and drawing crooked patterns on the fogged-up screen while Xavier stared at her quiet and beautiful profile with an unusually cold expression. She’s as pure as an angel who has fallen into the mortal world, but at the same time, she can unwittingly bewitch people. I’m a normal guy, so it’s certainly not a wise move to keep her by my side. I must divorce her. But to send her back home would be like sending her into a lion’s den. Those scums in the Garland family will only bully her. “Do you miss your granny, Dumbo? Do you want to go back to her so she can continue taking care of you?” The dark car window reflected Xavier’s handsome but expressionless face. Winnie turned her back on him and smirked coldly. She had not helped her grandmother find out clues about her cousin, so she had no intention to leave the Fairchild family yet. “Hmph! I’m still angry, Meanie. I don’t want to talk to you.” “Dumbo…” Xavier pinched between his brows helplessly. “The answer to this question is very important…” Before he could finish speaking, a beam of bright light suddenly shone into the car. Even Xavier and Winnie were blinded by the light in the back seat. One could imagine the effect it had on the driver and how it might impact his driving. Xavier wanted to remind the driver in the front to be careful, but before he could speak, the car across the street crashed toward them as if out of control. In a split second, there was a loud bang, and the whole car flipped over on its side. Xavier’s body reacted faster than his brain, and he stretched out his hands to shield Winnie in his arms. The accident happened so fast that Winnie was a little confused, but she could still clearly feel a strong force shielding her body. It’s Xavier! But wasn’t this man repulsed by me being a fool and planning to divorce me? Why would he protect me in this life-and-death situation? Half an hour later, the fire truck and ambulance quickly arrived at the scene. When they came over, they found the car, as well as the ground, all covered with blood! Outside the operating room, Xavier waited with his expression as dark as thunder. The tension surrounding him was so imposing that no one around him dared to approach him or even take a breath. An hour later, the door of the operating room finally opened. The doctor came over and told him sorrowfully, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fairchild. We’ve
