Chapter 160

This could not give Winford hope; it only served to remind him of his terminal illness and the little time he had left. The improved mood he had painstakingly cultivated might be shattered again. So, let's say nothing for now. Wait until she has cured Bryson of the poison; then he will know she wasn't boasting, and only then tell him!

After they discussed the detoxification plan, they agreed to return in a few days to give him an injection. Only then did Ophelia go downstairs. Her husband should have finished his call and come in, so she had to hurry; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find her!

Winford was indeed looking for her. When he entered and saw no one, his handsome brows furrowed slightly. It wasn't until he heard footsteps descending the stairs and saw her figure that his expression softened.

“Where did you go?”

“Go up there and find something!” Ophelia replied, her usual expression unchanged. She ran to his side and playfully hugged him.

“Are you hungry?” Winford’s voice softened almost imperceptibly. “I had the kitchen prepare something for you to eat while I went to the study to attend to some matters.”

“Okay,” Ophelia replied obediently.

Chapter 160

Just as Winford went upstairs, Master Bruno sent someone to deliver the dress. Ophelia's eyes lit up instantly, and she ran out the door. Even though she had already seen it at the exhibition, she still couldn't wait to see it again. The dress her husband had custom-made for her was simply like something out of a dream; it was truly beautiful!

“Wow!”

Lily and the others also ran out to take a look, all of them gasping in amazement, their eyes wide open.

“It looks really good!”

“The lady must have looked especially beautiful in it!”

“Mr. Winford really spoiled his wife…”

The servants admired it enviously.

On the other side, Elva had just returned from school and was about to head towards the annex when she happened upon this scene. She stared in disbelief, her eyes wide open, her nails digging in so hard that she almost broke the book in her hands.

“It was that dress!! It turned out that Mr. Winford had actually bought it for Ophelia?!” Elva was so jealous that her eyes turned red!

Chapter 160

From a distance, Ophelia was seen with a sweet smile on her face, directing the staff to bring the dress inside. She felt a deep jealousy in her heart, wishing it were herself standing there! Suddenly, she caught sight of someone sitting in a wheelchair coming out. Elva’s eyes widened in surprise instantly.

“-Bryson?!”

Ophelia didn't notice Elva; she had someone bring the dress inside, and she followed as well. Bryson also prepared to go in. However, suddenly—

“Bryson!”

A surprising voice suddenly came from behind. Bryson turned around, raising an eyebrow in surprise, “Elva?”

Elva grew up in the Pruitt family. Bryson and Winford had a good relationship and often visited the Pruitt family. Every time, Elva loved to join them. After many visits, she became quite familiar with the place.

“Bryson, when did you come?” Elva asked in surprise.

“A gust of wind came.” The wind outside was a bit strong. Bryson rolled his wheelchair inside and said, “Let’s go in and talk.”

Elva took two steps back, and the servant beside her immediately looked at her with a subtle expression.

Chapter 160

Mr. Winford had said that Elva was not allowed to come here again!

“Why didn’t you leave?” Bryson asked in surprise.

Elva felt the servants’ gazes and deeply resented it. Under Bryson’s gaze, she had a sudden idea, and her eyes quickly turned red.

Bryson asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Who made you feel wronged? Tell me, and I’ll help you take it out!”

Elva felt a surge of joy in her heart and immediately said with a hint of grievance, “Bryson, while you weren’t here, I was bullied!”

“Did you know that Mr. Winford got married? It was that new lady who bullied me!”

“After she entered the room, she found me unpleasant and made things difficult for me. She even drove me to the servant’s quarters in the annex and wouldn’t let me enter this side of the door!”

She cried tears that fell like raindrops, lowering her head and said, “Bryson, I didn’t dare to go in, otherwise, she would have caused me trouble again!…”

She sobbed pitifully, waiting for Bryson to get angry and then take her inside to confront Ophelia and vent her frustrations. However, after waiting for a long time, they did not hear Bryson’s voice.

“Bryson?” she tentatively looked up.
