Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia) novel Chapter 131

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 come back. 

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 

e said when she woke up was to ask about someone else. Did she hear what I said? 

“Ophelia.” The name was 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 I upset about? That she wasn’t taking care of herself, or that I 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 some weight?‘ 

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, I understand it,” Bethany said with a nod. After all, everyone was young once. 

After the two inside parted, those outside knocked and came in. 

“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, come and drink some medicine. Bethany rolled the table over, placing it in front of her. 

“I also made some of 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 some rib 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 some too?” 

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 ordering me around.‘ 

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 came to 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 home waiting for me to come back and tell him everything’s alright. Elia, it’s almost New Year’s. Why don’t you and Kenneth spend it at the Carnegie family?”
