Silly Bride

Chapter 253

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! They’ve gone that way! Come on! We need to catch that traitor!”“D*mn it! Those guys sure are fast! This is going to be a bumpy ride, so you’d better hold on tight!” Winnie shouted.“Got it!” Christopher turned his head to glance at their pursuers as he continued, “They can’t follow us in those cars, so we should be safe now that we’re in the woods.”“Oh, no… I wonder if those men ran into Xavier and the others on their way here. Harold is in trouble, so they’re bound to send lots of men over. Hmm… I think I know why they got here so fast. Harold is a very cunning man. 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 motorcycle into high gear.After riding in the woods for about five minutes, Winnie and Christopher were able to lose their pursuers completely. Nevertheless, neither of them knew where the path they were taking would lead them.As the adrenaline rush from the high-speed chase wore off, Winnie grew increasingly anxious and worried about Xavier’s safety.I chose to leave Xavier behind in order to rescue Christopher. While I don’t regret risking my life to save Christopher, I’ll never forgive myself if anything happens to Xavier, either! Right now, all I can do is pray that Xavier doesn’t run into the Horton family’s men…Winnie was so distracted by her thoughts that she nearly lost control of the motorcycle a couple of times.“Are you worried about Xavier and the others?” Christopher asked when he noticed her absent-mindedness.“Yeah, I am. I’m scared of what could happen if they run into the Horton family’s men. Not only do we have no idea where we’re headed, but we’re also unable to confirm the situation on their end,” Winnie replied.“You shouldn’t
