Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 131

Ophelia closed her eyes; her head still felt a bit dizzy. She had no idea how long she had been asleep.

Slowly, her memory started to cback.

She thought, 'Emily is dead, and Heather must be dead. Sophia would bail Harry out of lockup, while Nathan was

likely facing prison time. As for Owen, nobody cared about him, and he'd probably end up with just one

outcome." "How's Scott doing?" Ophelia asked.

Kenneth thought, "The first t

"Ophelia." The nwas forced out through Kenneth's gritted teeth.

"Hmm?" Ophelia tilted her head, staring at Kenneth in front of her. His brow was still furrowed, and he was still

wearing the clothes from the day of the party.

Ophelia thought, "Judging by his tone, he is upset

Ophelia stretched her hand out from under the blanket, her fingers gently hooking onto Kenneth's hand hanging

at his side. "I heard everything you said. I'll be more obedient from now on! Her voice was light and childlike.

Ophelia thought, 'As for freedom, it's best not to emphasize it. Anyway, now that the Hastings family has been

taken care of, from now on, Kenneth is the only one world."

lips, her large eyes clear and bright, gazing at Kenneth beside her.

"How's Scott doing?" After comforting him with a few words, she started to ask about someone else.

Kenneth flicked away her reaching fingers. "He's not dying."

She knew and thought, 'Forget it, better not ask and upset him."

Ophelia thought, 'Right now, the best thing is to act cute. She raised her arms, holding them up in the air. "Hug

me..."

Those soft words were like a bucket of water that instantly extinguished Kenneth's anger.

Kenneth,

'What am | upset about? That she wasn't taking care of herself, or that | hadn't taken good care of her!

Ever since he had Ophelia, his principles kept dropping in front of her.

He leaned over, and her small arms immediately wrapped around his neck, lifting her upper body off the hospital

bed.

Kenneth pulled her into an embrace, feeling her thin back and her bones almost protruding. He thought, ‘When

will she eyer gain sweight?"

All his irritation disappeared as she willingly snuggled into his arms. Ophelia could easily calm all of his emotions.

Ophelia let go of him, but Kenneth wasn't going to release her. He lowered himself, casting a large shadow over

her, held her head, and kissed her lips, sucking and nibbling, firm yet gentle. Outside the door, Bethany and Lisa

hesitated to enter with the soup they brought. The two exchanged smiles, feeling a bit

awkward. At their age, watching young couples flaunt their love was something new.

"It's good to be young." They were already used to it at Rosewood Manor.

"Yeah, | understand it," Bethany said with a nod. After all, everyone was young once.

After the two inside parted, those outside knocked and cin.

""Miss, how are you feeling?" Lisa asked.

"Elia, are you feeling any better?" Bethany asked.

"I'm fine now. The fever's gone down," Ophelia said with a smile. Her pale lips showed a bit of color after

Kenneth's kiss, though her head still felt dizzy.

Lisa touched her forehead, then her own. "It's still a bit warm, and your cheeks are rosy. You need more rest, you

shouldn't..."

Lisa hesitated, her eyes unintentionally drifting toward Mr. Sinclair.

"It's okay, young people recover quickly. You're looking much better. Elia, cand drink smedicine.

Bethany rolled the table over, placing it in front of her.

"| also made sof your favorite side dishes and a pot of soup." Lisa put the insulated bag on the table as well.

Soon, the table was filled, and the two ladies squeezed around her, watching eagerly, as if whoever she started

with would be the winner.

"Isn't the soup too greasy? Elia, try srib soup instead. You've had a high fever, so you need to replenish your

nutrients, especially protein." Bethany ladled out a bowl of rib soup for her and handed it over. "Thank you."

Ophelia took it and had a sip. "It tastes good."

Watching her drink, Bethany smiled warmly and took the bowl to fill it halfway again.

Sensing Kenneth's gaze, Lisa quickly corrected herself and said, "Ophelia, you should eat more. You slept for a

whole day and night; your stomach must be empty. Mr. Sinclair, why don't you have stoo?" After Lisa spoke,

she glanced at the food on the table and felt a little embarrassed. It seemed like she forgot to prepare a portion

for Kenneth.

"Mr. Sinclair, we're handling everything here, so maybe you should go and change into something else," Lisa

said.

Kenneth, squeezed to the end of the bed, remained silent with a stern expression. He thought, 'And now they

dared to start orderingaround."

Lisa felt uneasy under his gaze, so she focused on taking care of Ophelia, ignoring Kenneth.

"I'm alright, you don't all have to keep watching me." The three people sat surrounding her, watching her eat

intently. It felt a bit odd.

Bethany said, "It's okay, the more you eat, the happier we are." Lisa agreed as she served more food.

After breakfast, the nurse cto check her temperature. "Her temperature has been normal three times. We

can release her in a few hours, but make sure she gets enough rest and doesn't overexert herself at home."

"Thank you." Bethany walked the nurse to the door.

"Since everything's fine now, I'll be heading back. Theo Carnegie is still at hwaiting forto cback

and tell him everything's alright. Elia, it's almost New Year's. Why don't you and Kenneth spend it at the Carnegie

Bethany was momentarily taken aback but showed no sign of displeasure. "Oh, | see you have other plans.

Remember to chafter New Year's, Elia."

"Okay," Ophelia nodded and smiled at her.

Returning to the Carnegie family, Bethany noticed the atmosphere was somewhat tense. She handed the

thermos meal box to the maid, walked over, and saw what on the table. There were costly medicines and

valuable supplements.

Finlay and Clara remained silent.

Looking at the items on the table, Bethany understood everything without needing an explanation.

Married into the Carnegie family for over twenty years, every New Year's, Theo Carnegie always felt particularly

heavy-hearted.

She had thought his mood might get better this year after acknowledging a new granddaughter, but it was just

the sas usual.

Seeing Bethany, Theo Carnegie managed to show a slight change in expression. "How's Elia doing?"

"Elia is awake now. And she's got a pretty good appetite. She ate all the soup I brought for her," Bethany replied.

Theo Carnegie nodded, "By the way, what about the New Year..."

"Kenneth probably has plans for her, so she's not coming back for the holiday. She'll be back after the New Year,"

Bethany replied.

With a brief exchange, Theo Carnegie nodded and, using his gold-topped cane for support, headed towards the

elevator at home, saying, "Just throw everything away!"

He gave the order in a cold tone, then stepped into the elevator and went upstairs.
