Silly Bride

After the plane landed, he was brought to the hospital immediately.

Winnie had arrived in advance and waited outside while Xavier received a thorough examination.

Rufus, Louis, and the rest also waited along with her.

As Rufus was present, Josiah kept them company and didn’t enter the examination room.

Three hours later, Xavier was wheeled out in a wheelchair after completing all the necessary examinations.

Seeing him, Beatrice quickly helped Rufus over.

Josiah served as Winnie’s eyes. “He has been pushed out and seems to be in good spirits. You can ask Mary to bring you to him. I’m going to talk to his doctor to get a full understanding of his current situation so I can provide you with all the necessary information later on.”

“Sure!” Winnie nodded with a smile. Despite her calm appearance, she was inwardly excited.

She took huge strides and soon came to a stop beside Xavier’s wheelchair.

Seeing her, Rufus told Xavier, “Here she is. I heard that she hasn’t been eating much in the past few days, so it’s obvious she’s worried about you. You should talk while I ask Josiah about your current situation.”

With that, Rufus left with Beatrice. Mary also retreated a few steps so the couple could talk.

Xavier had yet to speak until now, so Winnie couldn’t be sure about his exact position. Hence, she reached her hand out tentatively.

To her astonishment, she waited with her hand outstretched in the air for what felt like an eternity, yet he still didn’t take it.

In the past, Xavier would take her hand instantly, especially after she lost her eyesight.
