Ophelia Gets Thrown Out (Ophelia) novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505

“That’s enough, Oliver said coolly, his calm making it seem like he hadn’t just been the one taken hostage

Everyone turned to him as he went on, “Ophelia, take Mr. Caldwell to the hospital and get his wound looked at. I’ll handle things here.”

By now, Oliver had no patience left for any of Henry’s excuses or complaints.

Even if Alaric claimed it wasn’t serious, an injury was still an injury, it needed attention.

“Okay, I’ll take him to the hospital,” Ophelia replied right away, supporting Alaric as they left.

Ella didn’t leave. She stayed to handle the aftermath and would have to report back once everything was settled

Once they were in the elevator, Alaric let go of Ophelia and stood up straight on his own.

“So now you’ve got the strength?” Ophelia gave him a side-eye. ‘Seriously? He could barely walk in front of Oliver, now he’s suddenly fine? What a drama king, she thought.

Alaric gave his arm a little shake. “Well, since I’m already hurt, I might as well make it count.”

Sure, he’d only jumped in to save Oliver in the heat of the moment, but now he figured he might as well use the chance to score some points with Oliver.

“Such a schemer,” Ophelia said, shaking her head, half amused, half helpless.

‘Honestly, this is so childish, Ophelia thought.

“What else can I do?” Alaric said, putting on his most pitiful face. “If your brother won’t give his blessing, guess I’ve got a long way to go before I win you over.”

Since he had the chance, he figured he might as well play a few tricks.

“Come on, Oliver’s not dumb,” Ophelia reminded him. “You really think you can pull one over on him?”

“Hey, I saved his life. If he can’t offer himself up, at least he should let me have his sister,” Alaric said, looking all self- righteous.

Ophelia’s lips twitched. ‘Seriously, does he even hear himself right now?’ she thought.

Once they were in the car, Ophelia glanced at Alaric. “So, should I patch you up, or are we heading to the hospital?*
