Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Yolanda, on the other hand, snapped her brows together.

There’s no way this outsider in the field of acupuncture actually noticed something wrong when

Grandpa himself didn’t, right?

Sebastian’s hand was hovering mid-air as he asked Xavier, “What’s the matter?”

Xavier furrowed his brows. “There’s something under my head.”

With that said, he began moving to sit upright.

Winnie stopped him. “Don’t move. I’ll do it.”

She then tilted Xavier’s head to the side and found a small pack of beads under the bedsheet.

It was tiny.

Winnie could not help but diss him, “Are you the princess in The Princess and The Pea? How are you

so sensitive?”

Sebastian chuckled. “It’s better to have found that earlier than later. It’ll be bad if it affects the accuracy

of the acupuncture later.”

Although Yolanda made no sound the entire time, she let out a sigh of relief after that.

“Nini,” Sebastian began as he inserted the needles. “You’ll watch me first. The last three insertions

won’t be that dangerous, so I’ll let you try them. I’ll also get to see how you are in practice.”

“Okay, Master.” After replying to Sebastian, Winnie lowered her head to look at Xavier. “You have to

trust me. I won’t poke at random spots on your body.”

For once, he did not say anything that sounded like it came straight from a romance .

Instead, a gentle look crept into his eyes as he gazed at Winnie. “Dumbo, don’t feel pressured.”

“Aren’t you scared? What if I insert the needles in the wrong spots and fry your brain?”

“I’m not scared.” Xavier’s tone was as determined as the look in his eyes. “My life is yours.”

Winnie parted her lips. There were so many things she wanted to say, but there were too many people

around her, and those words refused to leave her mouth.

The truth was, he had long placed his life in her hands—when he had shielded her during the accident,

and when he had shielded her from Yulissa’s toxin shots.

She knew that he was not only just all talk; he was genuinely entrusting his life to her.

That was why Winnie cherished his life even more.

Hence, she would never let herself fail him later.

With those thoughts in mind, a smile appeared on her face.

“Close your eyes and take a nap. Everything will be fine once you wake.”

The acupuncture session went on, and Sebastian left the last three insertions to Winnie as he said he

would.

Winnie held her breath and trained her focus on what she was about to do. Recalling the doll head she

had been practicing on countless times, she soon found the acupoints.

Although Winnie was nervous during the insertions, she showed none of her anxiety. Her hands

remained stable.

Even Sebastian could not help but praise, “Very good. You’re performing much better than Yolanda and

her brother. Back then, their hands were either trembling, or they were inserting the needles in the

wrong spot.”

Yolanda scoffed. “Keep praising her, then, Grandpa. I’m going out first.”

“My dear, is it that tough to admit that someone else is better than you?”

“Yes, it is!” Yolanda then stormed out of the room.

Nevertheless, Sebastian tried to salvage his granddaughter’s reputation. “Nini, don’t take her words to

heart. Yolanda’s just a little aloof and straightforward. She isn’t bad on the inside. Otherwise, she

wouldn’t have forced herself to learn and research traditional medicine with me. She has had some

achievements while studying herbs with me. Although she says she doesn’t like this, she’s been

working hard all this time.”

“I understand, Master.” Winnie nodded. “I don’t mean to challenge her either. I hope we’ll be able to

communicate with each other peacefully from now on.”

Sebastian knew that Winnie was quite the aggressive character in life, so he was glad to hear that she

was willing to take a more passive approach in dealing with Yolanda.

Thus, he became even more motivated to teach her. “Let’s go back to the study. I wasn’t done telling

you about that part earlier.”

When Winnie and Sebastian went back to the study, Yolanda was typing out her thesis on the laptop.

The moment Sebastian entered the room, she called Sebastian over.

The two of them chatted for a long time before Yolanda was done editing a section of her thesis. Then,

the woman’s stomach began growling.

When Sebastian heard it, he nagged, “I told you to eat more in the noon, but you didn’t want to. Now,

you’re hungry, right?”

“That restaurant’s food wasn’t that good; the taste was too strong, and I couldn’t eat more of it. You

guys please carry on. I’ll be back to write my thesis after making some mac and cheese.”

With that said, Yolanda left the study.

Everything seemed normal, so Yolanda raised no suspicion at all.

While it was true that Yolanda had gone out to make mac and cheese, she did not stay by the

microwave. Instead, she went to the doctor’s office.

The calming incense was still burning in the incense burner. The incense was meant to calm the

nerves, and coupled with the fact that she had secretly added some hypnotic incense as well, it would

be nothing short of a miracle if Xavier was still awake.

After tiptoeing into the doctor’s office, Yolanda took out a needle to insert it at Xavier’s philtrum.

As she had coated the needle with anesthesia, Xavier did not completely regain consciousness.

His eyes were half-lidded, and his conscience was blurry.

It was the perfect state for him to be hypnotized.

Nate had said that everyone in the world could forget about the woman named Yulissa, but Xavier must

not.

Therefore, Yolanda was going to try to wake Xavier’s memories of Yulissa.

She did not have confidence that everything would turn out the way she wanted it to. After all, she had

also coated the needles in the acupuncture kit with the drug that Nate had given to her. Now that those

drugs were in Xavier’s mind, no one could say for sure what would happen to Xavier once he woke.

It took Yolanda much effort to hold Xavier upright. Then, she took out a pocket watch and began

hypnotizing him.

Yolanda’s hypnotic tactics worked. Xavier uttered Yulissa’s name and the things that happened not long

ago.

At that, Yolanda could not help but gasp at the incredible effects of hypnosis and acupuncture

combined.

Merely hypnosis by itself would not have such wondrous effects, and that applied to acupuncture by

itself as well.

It was merely a coincidence that she had found out how both techniques provided magnificent results.

Right as Yolanda was bubbling with joy over her discovery, a thumping sound echoed in the room as if

something had collided with another thing.

Although it was a soft noise, it seemed particularly loud in the quiet, enclosed room.

Even Yolanda jumped from the noise, let alone Xavier, who was currently in a hypnotized state.

Nevertheless, Yolanda did not have the time to find out where the noise came from.

Her only concern was Xavier waking up. As her hypnosis had yet to end, if Xavier were to be woken up

by other noises, all her efforts would be for naught.

Alas, when she turned to look at him, she realized Xavier’s eyes were already half-opened.

“D*mn it,” Yolanda cursed under her breath before starting the hypnosis all over again.

However, just as she was about to succeed again, another noise echoed in the room.

In fact, this time, someone even appeared from behind the couch.

It was Rachel.

She was rubbing her eyes, looking as if she had just woken up.

“Xavier, Yolanda, where’s Daddy? Where’s my daddy?”

“Shut up!” Yolanda snapped. Furious that her attempt at hypnosis had been interrupted again, she

spun around to shoot Rachel a glare.

That made Rachel upset, and she instantly frowned, about to cry.

Worried that Rachel’s cries would lure her grandfather and Winnie over, Yolanda swiftly consoled

Rachel.

Fortunately, it was easy to deal with Rachel, and she soon stopped crying.

Nevertheless, she kept staring at Xavier.

Xavier’s eyes were half-opened, and he was even staring at Rachel, who was standing not far away

from him.

To Yolanda’s dismay, Xavier spoke. Yolanda did not even prompt him to, but he opened his mouth and

spoke of his own free will.

He said, “Dumbo.”

At that moment, Yolanda could barely hold herself back from slamming her own head against the wall.

She could not stand how her flawless hypnosis had been destroyed mid-way.

However, Yolanda was a smart woman, and the gears in her head began spinning once more.

Right then, an idea popped into her head—the idea of pulling off an extremely challenging memory

swap.

If she could do that, she would be invincible in the field of hypnosis.

Dumbo. Winnie used to be a mentally challenged person. Nate has also said that, even now, “Dumbo”

is still Xavier’s term of endearment to Winnie. Rachel’s a “Dumbo” too. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if I can

make Xavier’s memories of Winnie turn into memories of Rachel through hypnosis?

With that thought in mind, Yolanda no longer stopped Xavier and Rachel from looking at each other.

In fact, she even said, “Xavier, remember this. The woman in front of you is the Dumbo you yearn for.

She’s your wife and the woman you love most.”

“Dumbo…”

“When you hear the sound of the moving clock hand, you will wake.”

After making Xavier lie down again, Yolanda then walked to Rachel.

She gave her pocket watch to Rachel and murmured, “Look at this.”

Curious, Rachel took it and began studying it.

It was then Yolanda stabbed a needle at an acupoint behind Rachel’s ear.

Immediately, Rachel’s eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground.

Everything returned to normal once Rachel passed out as if nothing had happened earlier.

However, some things did already happen.
