Silly Bride

Chapter 258

the rest of the journey continued in silence, and they finally arrived at a hospital about ten minutes later.Winnie had fractured her right arm, so a doctor from the orthopedic department immediately gave her an X-ray and cast thanks to Leandro’s connections with the hospital. Christopher had long been wheeled into the operating room for an emergency operation by the time Winnie was done being tended to.As she waited outside the operating room, Leandro’s men watched over her from a distance, making it difficult for her to go somewhere to make a phone call.The two men refused to budge even when she tried telling them that she wanted to use the restroom.The way they never even responded to the woman was as though they couldn’t understand a word she said, no matter how aggressive she became, and that riled her up.She wouldn’t have wasted her time on them if it were before, but Christopher’s life was on the line now, and she couldn’t stop feeling anxious.Just as she got up and was about to pace back and forth to calm her nerves, Leandro suddenly appeared.In his hand was a plastic bag containing a few bottles of drinks. He took one of the bottles out and handed it to Winnie after twisting the cap open for her.Yet, her brows creased in response. She hadn’t let her guard down just because this man had saved her.Hence, she turned down his gesture. “I’m not thirsty.”Understanding her reaction, Leandro drank half the bottle right away. “I guess you don’t trust me, but there’s nothing wrong with the drink.”The woman took a deep breath. “I’m really not thirsty.”“Then I’m sorry for misjudging you,” he replied before taking a seat next to her. Then, he asked in a seemingly innocent way, “What happened, by the way? Were you arguing with my men? Let me know if they did anything wrong. I’ll punish them on your behalf.”“Then please do, Boss.” With a frown, Winnie pointed toward the cast on her right arm. “What can I even do when I’m in this state? It’s not like I can blow up the hospital with just my left hand, but they won’t even let me use the restroom.”“Oh! So that’s what it is. It’s their fault then. But think about it this way: they’re just concerned about your safety. I can accompany you if you want to use the restroom, but I’ll have to get them to clear the area before we head there.”Winnie was flabbergasted. What? They’re going to clear the whole restroom area before I can go there? But I was thinking of borrowing someone’s phone to make a call! How the hell
