Silly Bride

Chapter 253

tears on her shoulder, she recalled her friend who died for her a few years ago.Since she could relate to how he felt, she decided to stop comforting him any further. “Go ahead and hug me as tightly as you like.”Christopher is on the verge of breaking down. I’d have given him a big hug if we weren’t on this motorcycle right now. Being his friend, I want to give him as much support as I possibly can.Christopher fell silent for a few seconds after hearing that. She’s right! I need to regain my strength and make it out of here alive!With that in mind, he slowly tightened his grip on Winnie’s waist and hugged her tightly.Neither of them said another word as Winnie continued riding the motorcycle at high speeds. As the night was tranquil, the roar of the motorcycle’s engine and the noise from the wind blowing in their faces was all that filled their ears.Suddenly, they heard the sound of multiple cars coming from the front.“Those must be men from the Horton family. They’re probably coming to pick Harold up. We’re severely outgunned and outnumbered in our current state. Hurry up and take the small road on the side!” Christopher exclaimed urgently.“Got it!” Winnie replied as she made a sharp turn.Right as the two of them entered the woods, they heard the men from the cars behind yelling, “Over there!

He knows we’re unfamiliar with this place, so he deliberately took a long route when he brought us here. He must know a shortcut of some sort that’ll allow his men to get here quicker. Now that they know we’ve escaped, they can just intercept us on that path. Xavier and Professor White are on that same path, so they’re bound to run into those men as well. I can’t believe I didn’t figure their shortcut out!” Winnie exclaimed. “What do we do now? They always put those sacks over our heads whenever they bring us here, so they have the upper hand when it comes to navigation. We don’t even know if we’re going in the right direction!” Christopher was starting to get sluggish due to excessive blood loss.“I don’t know! For now, let’s just focus on getting out of here!” Winnie replied as she kicked the
