Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 379

Five minutes later, Winnie and Josiah left Lagune Mansion in the car.

Xavier, who had previously installed a location tracker in Winnie’s braille watch, was sitting in the conference room at that very moment.

When he saw the location of the watch moving on the GPS software on his phone, he knitted his brows tightly.

He was hesitating if he should pause the meeting to call Winnie when he received a text message from Josiah.

Learning that Josiah was taking Winnie for a body check, Xavier finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Winnie and Josiah met Lisanne.

It had been more than a month since they had met. Winnie could not see anything, but that was clearly not the same case for Josiah. He noticed everything, including every little change.

Lisanne’s complexion was visibly worse than before.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lisanne took Winnie away from Josiah.

“Thank you for sending Winnie over. I’ll bring her in for an examination first.”

Josiah nodded. “Yes, please. Thank you.”

Lisanne flashed a faint smile. “It’s what I should do. There’s no need to thank me.”

Almost two hours later, Lisanne sent Winnie out.

When they came out, Josiah was staring blankly into his phone screen. That resulted in him not noticing that Winnie was already standing beside him.

While Winnie was clueless about what he was looking at, Lisanne, on the other hand, saw what was on his phone screen the moment she looked down.

It was a group photo of Winnie, Xavier, and Josiah.

Josiah had zoomed in on Winnie and himself, and fixed on the display was the image of the two smiling brightly.

Lisanne was a little surprised. All along, she had thought Josiah, Winnie, and Xavier were good friends. Little did she imagine that Josiah would have different feelings for Winnie.

After staring at the photo for a few seconds, Lisanne quickly retracted her gaze.

She let out a dry cough, prompting Josiah about their return.

At the same time, Winnie asked, “Have you fallen asleep, Dr. Houghton?”

Startled by Winnie’s sudden appearance before him, Josiah immediately turned off his phone.

He frantically tried to shove his phone back into his pocket. But in the next second, he suddenly slowed down as a thought crossed his mind—Winnie could not see anything right now.

After putting his phone away, he stood up and responded, “Yeah, I almost fell asleep. How’s the examination?”

Winnie arched her brows. “Lisanne and I aren’t too good, but she’s slightly better than me. For now, we can only rely on medicine that’s specially developed. We have to take that first and see if it works. If it doesn’t, they’ll have to make the necessary changes.”

Seeing how calm and nonchalant Winnie was, Josiah felt so horrible he could not articulate a word.

He suppressed his emotions for some time before he broke his silence. “So, what’s next?”

“Collect the medicine, then head home for some rest.”

“All right. Take a seat here first, then. Ms. Marsh and I will go and collect the medicine.”

“Mm, okay. Anyone of you brought your earphones? I want to listen to some songs.”

“I didn’t,” Lisanne answered. “Ask Dr. Houghton if he has it.”

“Just nice I have it.” Josiah smiled and pulled out his wireless Bluetooth earphones from his pocket.

He passed the earphones to Winnie and asked for her phone. “Give me your phone. I’ll help you connect the earphones.”

“No need. I can do it myself using the voice control function on my phone.” Winnie reached out to feel her way and grabbed an earphone from Josiah’s palm. “I only need one. I have to leave one ear to keep tabs on the movements around me.”
