Silly Bride

Chapter 142

The few of them quickly headed toward the ward.The moment the door was pushed open, Winnie saw Xavier flipping through a magazine on the couch.Seeing that, she couldn’t help but recall what she saw in Lagune Mansion back then. Back then, he was still pretending to be in a coma. He was wearing a set of casual wear and flipping through a magazine in bed. He looked like he didn’t have a care in the world. Now, he looks exactly like that. He doesn’t look like he’s being tortured by any kind of drug at all.The sound of Winnie opening the door had attracted Xavier’s attention.He retracted his gaze from the magazine and looked toward Winnie.At that moment, his cold gaze turned somewhat passionate.While looking in Winnie’s direction, it seemed like he was staring at everything he wanted in life.Under Winnie’s slightly relieved gaze and Josiah’s surprised gaze, Xavier walked toward Winnie.Josiah had even whispered in Winnie’s ear, “This is great! It seems like he remembers you.”Winnie heaved a sigh of relief because that was what she had in mind, too. The more he remembers, the faster he’ll recover.Seeing that he was heading in her direction, Winnie walked toward him as well.However, something unexpected happened. Xavier ignored Winnie and walked past her.When that happened, Winnie couldn’t help but frown.Josiah was puzzled.The person who was the most surprised by what was going on was Christopher.That was because Xavier had walked up to him and grabbed his hand.With a frown and a complicated look on his face, Xavier uttered domineeringly, “Dumbo, I’m going to say this again. Yulissa doesn’t exist. Forget that name! Also, I’m never going to see you as my little sister. Hence, don’t address me as your brother anymore. I’m not your brother. Lastly, I’m going to take you with me when I attend the charity gala in three days’ time. You’ll be my only female companion that night. Do you hear me?”Christopher was rendered speechless, while Josiah and Winnie were flabbergasted.“Do you hear me?” Xavier asked again.Christopher was so stunned that he didn’t know how to respond.“What is it? Are you so happy that you can’t utter a word in response?” With that, Xavier grabbed Christopher by his neck and pinned him against the wall.Xavier and Christopher were about the same height, so Xavier was looking at him at eye level.Noticing that, Xavier furrowed his brows, and he looked frustrated. “What happened, Dumbo?

get so tall?”Christopher, Josiah, and Winnie were all utterly stupefied.“What…” Winnie stared blankly at Josiah.Josiah was gaping in disbelief as well. After a while, he said, “Well… I think he’s just having an episode, the kind that has never been seen before. Memory loss, memory confusion, and personality mutation. It seems like he has become a domineering CEO. In fact, he might’ve turned blind!”“So, what should I do now?” Christopher asked. “What do you mean by that? Who are these people? Why are they in our room?” Xavier was angry at Winnie and Josiah.He turned around and sized Josiah up. “Are you a doctor? Why are you here? Is someone sick?”Josiah still couldn’t believe his eyes. “This is a hospital. You’ve fallen sick.”“I’m sick? Ha!” Xavier sneered and mocked, “You’re a quack doctor!”After that, Xavier shifted his gaze toward Winnie. After sizing her up with his narrowed eyes, he asked, “Have I seen you before? Why do you look so familiar? Are you an employee of mine?”Winnie felt a shortness of breath when she saw his condition. “If you remember who Dumbo is and how your grandpa had asked you to bring her to the charity gala, how could you not remember what she looks like?”Xavier scrunched up his brows. “Do you hear the words coming out of your mouth? You’re full of crap!”Xavier then sneered and looked at Josiah. “Is this a psychiatric hospital?”With that, he grabbed Christopher’s hand and said, “Let’s get out of here, Dumbo!”“I’m Dumbo!” Winnie was saddened when she saw Xavier’s delirious state. She then grabbed Xavier’s other hand and fumed, “I’m Dumbo! I’m the real Winnie! Look at me! Take a good look at me!”“Ha!” Xavier flashed a disdainful look. “You’re just another shameless woman trying to approach me. How despicable! My wife is here!”With that, Xavier wanted to put his hand behind Christopher’s head.It seemed like he was about to kiss Christopher on the lips.Winnie was angry and devastated at the same time. She reached out her hand and grabbed Xavier by his hair to pull his head down.She then wrapped the other arm of hers around his neck and bit his lip.Upon hugging him, Winnie was suddenly reminded of how he protected her from the needles. Even when he was hugging me so tightly, he was begging for me to leave. He was still conscious, so he was afraid that he could bring me harm. That was why he wanted me to leave. How did he end up like this now?Ever since she became an adult, Winnie had already decided that no matter what, she wouldn’t shed a tear for anything or anyone. However, she couldn’t help but cry because of what was happening to Xavier.She bit his lip hard, hoping that she could help him regain his

senses. “I can accept the fact that you’ve forgotten about me. However, I can’t accept that you are replacing me with someone else, okay? You’ve given me your life. You’re all mine. Do you understand what I’m saying?”The taste of blood managed to get Xavier’s attention. He then took the initiative to grab Winnie’s waist, and he was about to kiss her back.In the end, Josiah gave Xavier an anesthesia injection to prevent things from getting out of hand.Xavier had a high fever after he blacked out.Meanwhile, Winnie and Josiah had been by his bed to take care of him.Josiah felt troubled while looking at the fast asleep Xavier. “He had mistaken a man for his wife! That man is his rival! I can’t imagine what he would be like when he wakes up again.”
