Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 374

Hoping that Winnie would see him the instant she opened her eyes, Xavier stood right across from her.
Hoping that Winnie would see him the instant she opened her eyes, Xavier stood right across from her.

Behind him were Rufus and Beatrice, who had rushed over upon hearing about Winnie’s surgery. That aside, there was Greta, who held a bouquet of flowers in her hands, and the other medical staff.

At that very moment, everyone present was on pins and needles. That went doubly for Xavier. In fact, he was even more nervous than Winnie.

From the second Josiah announced that it was time to remove the gauze, his eyes had been glued to Winnie’s face.

When the gauze was taken away, he held his breath.

Josiah was in no better state. Even his hands were trembling as he removed the gauze.

It was an exceedingly simple matter, but it took several seconds longer than usual due to his overly ginger movements. That made the hearts of everyone in the room lodge in their throats.

As he took off the gauze, he even started growing incoherent. “Okay, you can remove your eyes now. No, I mean, you can open your eyes now.”

Hearing the man’s blunder, Winnie couldn’t help chuckling softly.

The fact that she could still laugh at that time was synonymous with good news to everyone.

They all reckoned that she must be able to see. Otherwise, it made no sense for her to be able to laugh.

Winnie opened her eyes under the anticipation of the crowd.

With a faint smile on her face, she stared right ahead.

The person right across from her was none other than Xavier.

Right then, Xavier stared at her motionlessly, his eyes shining with hope.

He was so keyed up that even his voice quivered. “Can you see me, Winnie?”

Once more, Winnie chuckled softly, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Nevertheless, she didn’t answer that question directly. Instead, she said, “The flowers Greta brought me are sunflowers, and they’re in full bloom.”

“Bingo!” When Greta heard that, she rushed up to her emotionally with the bouquet of flowers.

She had wanted to personally hand the bouquet to Winnie.

But at the thought that Xavier was also there, she gave it to the man instead.

Joyfully, she squealed, “Here, Mr. Fairchild. You can gift it to Ms. Garland.”

Rufus, Beatrice, Josiah, and all the medical staff present were over the moon that Winnie could see again.

They all exclaimed about the successful surgery jubilantly.

On the contrary, Xavier wasn’t quite convinced of the success of the surgery.

Taking the flowers from Greta, he regarded Winnie while frowning deeply.

For some inexplicable reason, he couldn’t shake off the feeling there was something off with her expression.

Can she really see?

He transferred the flowers to his left hand before saying to Winnie, “Here, this beautiful bouquet of sunflowers is for you.”
