Chapter 190
However, I didnโt expect that it was actually made by her granddaughter-in-law herself!
โMy mom was a doctor, and I had learned some things from her before,โ Ophelia replied.
Hearing this answer, Glenda understood a little. Indeed, her mother, Harriet, was a renowned miracle doctor in her time. If it werenโt for Harrietโs prowess, how could she have arranged a marriage contract for her daughter and the Pruitt family?
But even if she understood some things, Glendaโs gaze towards Ophelia was still different. Harriet was impressive, but Ophelia was different; many people outside said that she was a complete good-for-nothing!
Faced with Glendaโs astonished gaze, Ophelia remained calm and said, โSince Grandma is using it well, I will prepare some more for her to take over later.โ
โAh, good!โ Glenda smiled, feeling even more guilty about what had just happened. Although it was mainly Bertha and Elva who had deceived her, another key reason was that she hadnโt really taken this granddaughter-in-law to heart. Previously, the reason for being good to Ophelia was simply because she could make her grandson happy. As long as her grandson was happy, she would do anything for her, even if it meant picking stars and the moon for her!
Until now, whenever Glenda heard the girlโs words of filial piety and thoughtfulness, she felt happy in her heart, but also extremely guilty and uncomfortable.
He quietly gave his grandson a glance, signaling him to say a few words to help, but Winford clearly saw it and merely lifted his eyes slowly before letting them drop again, continuing to play with his young wifeโs hand, without saying a word. Glenda shot him a glare quietlyโthat little brat!
He could only sigh and said to himself, โOphelia, this time it was Grandma who was confused. She actually believed Berthaโs one-sided story and misunderstood you. It was Grandmaโs faultโฆโ
Ophelia was somewhat surprised. She didnโt expect that Glenda would apologize to her! In fact, it didnโt matter that she didnโt apologize; after all, Glenda had personally driven Bertha and Elva out, and as Winfordโs beloved grandmother, she would also come to cherish Glenda in the future. It was just that there wouldnโt be much closeness in the heart. However, at that moment, upon hearing this sincere apology, she couldnโt help but feel moved in her heart. She could tell that Glenda was sincere.
โGlenda, it wasnโt your fault; it was all Elva and the others who took advantage of you!โ she comforted.
Glendaโs eyes warmed, and she looked at her obedient and considerate granddaughter-in-law with affection. โOur Ophelia was truly a good child!โ
Seeing that the two had put their past grievances behind them, Winford then gently stroked his little wifeโs hair and said, โDidnโt you say you were hungry? Letโs go check the kitchen.โ
As soon as Ophelia heard it, she knew he was intentionally trying to send her away. But the fact that she had just casually mentioned being hungry was something he actually took to heart, which still made her feel happy.
He obediently said โohโ and smoothly rolled away in the wheelchair, casually waving goodbye to take Lily with him. Lily had just accomplished a great achievement and deserved a good reward!
โAlright, Ophelia left. What did you want to say to me?โ Glenda withdrew her gaze and looked at her grandsonโs inscrutable face. Winford didnโt slowly withdraw his gaze until the girlโs figure disappeared from sight.
He had no expression on his face and said in an indifferent tone, โGrandma, you may have forgotten what I was like before Lia came to my side, so I didnโt pay much attention to her.โ
Glenda was taken aback and instinctively wanted to argue, but suddenly remembered what her grandson had been like back then and what he was like now, and her throat suddenly tightened. At the same time, realizing that her grandson was right, she gradually began to forget, and it was all thanks to Ophelia.
Her lips moved slightly, and after a long while, Glenda let out a sigh of shame. โYou were right, it was my mistake. I should have apologized to Ophelia more sincerely.โ
It was also said, โOphelia is a good child, and in the futureโฆI would treat her like my own granddaughter.โ
At this point, thinking about how little time her grandson had left, Glenda felt a warmth in her eyes. Winford originally had more to say, but suddenly fell silent. He looked towards the kitchen, his gaze heavy, not knowing what he was thinking.
Glendaโs voice sounded a bit weary: โSpeaking of Ophelia, I was reminded of her mother, who was also a very exceptional child. If she were still aroundโฆperhaps there would have been a way to help with your illness.โ
Fate played a trick on people; the miraculous doctor Harriet was no longer in this world.
