Chapter 191

Watching Ophelia was indeed impressive; she was truly her mother's daughter. However, her grandson's illness was not something a novice young girl could handle.

Ophelia returned to the living room half an hour later. She keenly noticed Glenda's eyes were a bit red and that Winford seemed somewhat downcast. Seeing her appear, Glenda hurriedly forced a smile, as if afraid Ophelia would discover something.

However, Winford behaved unusually. In the past, whenever he saw her from a distance, his gaze would unconsciously soften, and a faint smile, one he himself was unaware of, would appear at the corners of his lips. He would then open his arms, waiting for her to come towards him. However, at that moment, his dark eyes simply looked at her as she slowly approached, and he made no move at all.

Seeing him like this, Ophelia felt an inexplicable pang in her heart, and the wheelchair rolled a bit faster as she approached him. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked, slightly tilting her head to look at him. In her beautiful eyes, there was a clear expression of concern and worry.

Winford was taken aback, and the emotions in his eyes quickly faded. “Not much,” he said, rubbing his head and suppressing many dark thoughts lingering in his mind.

Ophelia was still a bit worried and was about to speak when a servant arrived to report, “Madam, your cousin, Ms. Whitaker, has arrived!”

Did Lenora come? Ophelia hurriedly said, “Quickly bring her in!” A few days ago, Lenora had taken a leave of absence for some reason, and she hadn’t seen anyone for several days.

Lenora was led in by the servant and, at first glance, looked at Ophelia. Upon seeing her cousin sitting in a wheelchair, her expression immediately changed, revealing an unmistakable sense of worry and anxiety. Afterwards, she noticed Winford and Glenda. She had met her cousin's husband before, but this was her first time seeing Glenda, which made her feel a bit shy.

Glenda felt both guilty and fond towards her daughter-in-law and naturally extended that affection to her cousin as well. Moreover, Lenora herself looked very well-behaved. She immediately broke into a kind smile and said, “Is this Ophelia’s cousin? She looks like a good child. What’s her name?”

Ophelia smiled and said, “Call her Lenora, Grandma, or just Nora. Nora studied very well; she’s been a top student since she was little!”

“Really? Come over here and let me take a look,” Glenda waved. “Nora, this is your cousin’s grandmother, so you can just call her Grandma too.”

Lenora felt a bit shy and uneasy. She glanced at her cousin several times and noticed that although her cousin was in a wheelchair, she seemed to be in good condition, as if only her ankle was injured. This made Lenora feel relieved, and she obediently walked up to Glenda to speak.

In Minston, not only Mr. Winford but also his grandmother, Glenda, was very mysterious. Countless people wanted to curry favor, but they couldn’t even meet Glenda’s people. Lenora did not expect that she not only met them so easily but that they were also so kind to her!

However, she was naturally reserved and shy, so she still did not dare to speak much. She only obediently answered when Glenda asked her questions.

Ophelia noticed that she was uncomfortable. After chatting with Glenda for a moment, she asked, “Nora, how did you come over? Did you finish the things you needed to take care of on your day off?”

“I heard that my cousin had an accident during the school anniversary celebration, so I came to take a look…”

Glenda smiled and said, “Alright, go find your cousin and have a good chat with her.”

Lenora sighed with relief, ran over to Ophelia, and obediently greeted Winford, saying, “Cousin-in-law.”

“Um.” Winford nodded, his attitude relatively mild, which caused Glenda to glance at him in surprise. She knew her grandson’s temperament better than anyone. For those she looked down upon, she wouldn’t even spare them a glance. As for those she found acceptable, they might not even receive a proper look from her. Yet now, she was surprisingly gentle towards Lenora… This was just a cousin of his granddaughter-in-law, yet he treated her this way, which showed that he truly cared about people!

Glenda was both happy and sad at the same time. She was delighted that Winford had actually met a girl he liked, but felt sad that although he had found someone, his time was limited…

Winford didn’t notice Glenda’s gaze. He rubbed his wife’s hair and said, “Take Nora out to play. You can go to the garden, but you mustn’t run upstairs.”
