Silly Bride

Chapter 186

had no recollection of what happened during his short-term memory loss for the next few days after her death.Ironically, while Winnie and Xavier were making breakfast in the kitchen that morning, she had been wondering if he would forget about those funny yet blissful memories they shared after his condition was cured.As expected, he forgot everything.He forgot that they had become husband and wife for real, as well as the memories of them spending their time together every day and working in the same office.When Josiah arrived, all he saw was Winnie and Rachel staring at each other in the lounge.“Where is Xavier?” he asked.Winnie leaned on the couch and answered weakly, “He’s in a meeting.”“Why is he still in a meeting at this juncture? What exactly is going on?”“It’s the same thing as what I have informed you over the phone. I can feel that I’m on the brink of losing my mind,” she replied and massaged her temples tiredly.Afterward, she continued, “Do you think it’s his problem or mine? Why can he remember you, Louis, and everything in the office every time but not me? Previously, I could let it go when he stubbornly thought I was still a dumb person as in the past. This time around, it’s worse. Not only did he continue to think that I’m a dumbass, but he has even mistaken someone else for me.”Josiah shrugged wordlessly. Then, he said, “It’s because you’re the most special person in his heart. Most importantly, you have tortured him mercilessly. Truthfully, it’s not groundless that he thinks of Rachel as you. You were very arrogant before and always wanted to dump him. He was scared of you. But when you pretended to be Dumbo, it was different. You were obedient and well-behaved. Moreover, you always stuck at his side and called him ‘Handsome.’ You had never thought of leaving him either.”A moment later, he continued, “Naturally, he would hope you’re still Dumbo. Now that a mentally challenged Rachel has suddenly appeared, it’s not surprising that he would mistake Rachel for you since his central nervous system is damaged, and she’s the first dumb person he sees. Besides, Rachel is beautiful. Even though she is not as beautiful as you, she is still good-looking. If she dresses up a little in the future, I’m sure she will be a very pretty and alluring lady.”Winnie did not say anything. Instead, she pulled out a pillow behind her and threw it at Josiah.He extended his hand and caught it. Then, he comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry too much. Everything will work itself out. Previously, he thought of his love rival as you. But didn’t he get well after he had slept?”As soon as he finished speaking, Louis pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Xavier.The latter glanced at Josiah and sat next to him.“You’re here. What’s the matter with this traditional medicine practitioner who calls herself Winnie Garland? Did you really ask for her help?”Josiah adjusted his glasses and studied Xavier carefully.“Hey, you’ve pretty much recovered to the old you. Come on. Show me your domineering CEO look.”Instead of uttering threats to him as he did in the past, Xavier merely stared daggers at Josiah.The only thing that he did was say, “How childish!”Josiah spread his hands nonchalantly. “Fine. Let’s get down to business, then. Indeed, I’ve hired an old traditional medicine practitioner for you, and he’s extremely skilled at acupuncture. As for the woman in front of you, Ms. Winnie Garland, she’s Old Mr. Xander’s last apprentice, his proudest one yet. She’s a talented traditional medicine practitioner. Old Mr. Xander recently—”Before he could finish his fabrication, Winnie interrupted, “That’s enough. Why don’t you bring him to your hospital for a checkup?” Josiah did not continue the topic and nodded. “Yes, that’s what I shall do. You’ve given a great suggestion!”Meanwhile, Xavier clearly remembered that Yulissa had given him an injection before.Therefore, he knew that he had to receive medical treatment. After glancing at his watch, he turned to Louis, who was standing behind him, and asked, “Do I have any plans later on? If there’s none, I will go to the hospital.”Even though there were actually plans, his health was more important. Thus, the meetings and projects could be postponed.“There’s none. I will arrange the car for you.”Xavier grunted in acknowledgment as he tugged at his necktie.After tugging at it twice, he stood up swiftly and walked toward Rachel, who was playing with Winnie’s phone.The moment he saw the boring game on the screen, he took the phone away from her hands.Then, he looked at her and said, “Help me to untie this.”Rachel pouted from having the phone
