Chapter 159

Previously, he thought Ophelia was just teasing him, and that taking away the sachet was merely an attempt to slap him in the face; he didn’t take it to heart at all. Until these past couple of days, he had found that his condition had improved! He had been feeling drowsy and fatigued, always unable to muster any energy, and everything he did felt like an effort. However, at that time, he had normal sleep, felt more energetic, and was full of vitality in everything he did! If it weren’t for the fact that his legs still couldn’t move, he would have had the illusion that he wasn’t sick at all!

Because the changes came gradually, he didn’t notice them at first. It was his subordinates who often paid attention to his physical condition and specifically reminded him, which made him suddenly realize it. He immediately called Ophelia in a hurry. He was wrong; Ophelia was not talking nonsense, she was a divine healer!

“Ophelia, you could see the issue with the sachet at a glance, so what about my leg…” Bryson gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, staring intently at Ophelia, his eyes filled with hope.

Chapter 159

Ophelia smiled faintly, with a light and carefree demeanor, yet she uttered a statement that seemed like a dream to him— “Could treat it.”

The three light and airy words made Bryson think he had misheard. “You, what did you say?” “Could you say that again…?”

Ophelia crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly, saying, “I said it can be cured, so what?”

“Woof—” Bryson’s eyes suddenly turned red, like a large dog, and he excitedly reached out to hug her. Ophelia’s expression changed, and she hurriedly reached out to stop him, pushing him back into the wheelchair. “Show me some respect! Am I someone you could just hug?” The tone was both disdainful and serious.

Bryson nodded with a whimper, “I was wrong before, Ophelia. You healed my leg, so from now on, you are my reborn parents!”

“Sure.” Ophelia agreed lightly, as if it were nothing more than a trivial matter. Looking at Bryson’s silly and pitiful appearance, a glimmer of malice flashed in her eyes. For a moment, she even thought about pulling out the screenshot of the person who called her a dead liar and was live-streaming while eating that stuff, but then she held back.

What was the point of taking it out now? Wait until it is healed before showing it to him!

I hoped that the notorious Bryson in Kingchester would not go back on his word. Ophelia had a faint, cool smile at the corners of her lips.

“Before I treated you, I had to inform you of one thing—your leg was poisoned, not a genetic disease.”

“Poisoned?!” The overwhelming amount of information left Bryson momentarily stunned. This means that someone harmed him. The fact that someone was able to poison him without him noticing indicated that the person was right beside him and… had a very close relationship with him.

Bryson’s mind was in turmoil as he thought about the poison in his leg, the sachet his fiancée had given him, and he felt a deep bitterness and exhaustion, along with a strong surge of anger. Then, all of a sudden, a jolt went through his mind, and he suddenly thought of something—it seemed that a strange number had sent him a message before, saying that his leg was poisoned?? However, he not only didn’t believe it but also scolded the person and blocked them.

Bryson felt inexplicably guilty as he looked at Ophelia in front of him. He suddenly felt relieved that it was Ophelia who was going to detoxify him; otherwise, if he had to go back to find that divine doctor, the person would probably beat him into the ground! He looked at Ophelia with trusting eyes and said, “Ophelia, I relied on you for my legs!”

Ophelia smiled and said, “You can rest assured.”

“Can’t this matter be told to Winford?” Bryson asked again, “With your great ability, didn’t Winford know?”

Ophelia shook her head directly and said, “I can’t, I don’t know.” It wasn’t that she intentionally wanted to hide it; she had mentioned it, but her husband didn’t believe her! However, didn’t the opportunity to prove one’s strength come?

As for why the matter of detoxification was not mentioned in advance… Thinking of the way Winford mentioned his illness, Ophelia felt a pang of heartache. If it were said that she could cure Bryson’s leg, that she could heal his illness, Winford would not have believed it. So many renowned doctors were at a loss, and she, a young girl who had never been heard of studying medicine; who would believe that she had such abilities!
