Silly Bride

Chapter 139

bet he must be enduring unbearable pain now!Winnie steeled herself to give Xavier a hug before biting hard on his neck. He eventually loosened his arms slightly when blood started oozing out from the wound.It was then she grabbed the opportunity to free herself from his embrace. Next, she had to rush into the room to search for the stun gun.Yet, she had barely taken two steps before Xavier lost control. She heard Yulissa screaming and caught a glimpse of the shadow on the ground.The tall, dark figure carried another figure up effortlessly and threw it heavily to the ground.Winnie was fully aware that it was Xavier throwing Yulissa to the ground. Regardless, she did not turn around to stop him. Yulissa White only has herself to blame for that!Without hesitation, Winnie darted into the room and found the stun gun Yulissa had dropped on the floor. I must have Xavier under control before the security guard becomes the next victim!Buzz! Seconds later, Xavier’s well-built figure collapsed on the ground as the sound of the electric spark rang out.When Winnie squatted to stop the bleeding from the wound on his neck, only then did she realize that there were tears all over her face.She had never shed her tears except when she played dumb previously. Her tears had flowed down her cheeks moments ago, unknowingly.After ensuring that Xavier was still alive, she moved toward the old lady with the stun gun.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.
