Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 380

“Winnie! It must have been a long wait for you,” Josiah said as he took off his Bluetooth earphones and strode over to her.

Upon hearing Josiah’s voice, Winnie turned in his direction.

“I was enjoying my music, so I lost track of time. You’re done?”

“Yeah. I’ll be sending you back now.”

“Okay,” she answered before standing up.

A beat later, Josiah said, “I think we should call Xavier. How should I phrase my words?”

“I’ll do the talking, but pay attention to what I say and make sure not to let anything slip.”

“You’re the witty one between us two,” Josiah praised as he called Xavier.

It took Xavier a few rings before he picked up the call.

Once Josiah heard Xavier’s voice, he passed the phone to Winnie.

Xavier asked, “Are you done with the checkup? How was it?”

In her usual voice, she replied, “Neither good nor bad. I was given some meds, so I guess I’ll take those first.”

“What about Lisanne and that Rodunstian scientist’s research? Any progress?”

“Yeah. The meds I just received were the product of their research with the hospital.”

“Any side effects? How did Lisanne feel after taking them? Did you ask her about it?”

“Don’t worry. I did. There aren’t any side effects after she took the meds, but you know how my symptoms are a little more serious than hers, so the meds I received aren’t completely identical to hers. Still, they’re made from the same base materials, so it should be fine.”

Right then, Winnie heard someone calling for Xavier on the other end of the line, so she said, “You should head back to work. I’m about to go back with Josiah.”

After ending the call, Winnie gave the phone back to Josiah.

The two then went back to Lagune Mansion.

After working incessantly for a few days, Xavier finally settled the backlog of his work.

Winnie realized it was the right time for her to tell him about her worsening condition.

However, before she could tell him about it herself, Xavier noticed it.

That was because she started experiencing the side effects of the medication a few days after starting the course.

Her hair began to fall, and she started vomiting. As a matter of fact, she even began coughing up blood.

When Xavier found out about her symptoms, his heart ached so terribly his knees nearly buckled.

After hearing Winnie’s explanation, he promptly sent her to the hospital.
