Chapter 321

The look in his eyes was somewhat complicated. He had never expected that, in such a critical moment, she would rush over without hesitation. Didn't I want to acknowledge the Whitaker family, to recognize these relatives of mine? What was I doing then?

Ophelia didn’t notice his gaze; she quickly got up from the ground, coldly glanced back at Bessie and the driver, while making a call to Graham and helping Xander onto the rapidly arriving ambulance.

Glenda’s residence. Winford was chatting with Glenda. Glenda knew how cold-natured her grandson was, so she felt extremely gratified that Winford had actually taken the initiative to come and visit her this time.

“Why didn’t you bring Ophelia along?” Knowing that her grandson’s changes were all due to Ophelia, Glenda had grown very fond of this granddaughter-in-law.

“Lia was going to class.” When mentioning his little wife, Winford’s expression softened a bit.

Ophelia took a day off today, but in consideration of her pride, she chose not to tell Glenda the truth. Otherwise, she was afraid it would lead to a little quarrel between them.

Seeing the affection in his eyes, Glenda felt a surge of emotions and was about to speak when suddenly Graham rushed in with an anxious expression, saying, “Mr. Winford, there has been a car accident involving your wife!”

Glenda: “What?!”

“Crash!”

Winford had just picked up a cup of hot tea when he heard the news. His hand trembled, and he accidentally dropped the cup! The tea splashed onto the back of his hand, burning his skin painfully, but Winford felt nothing. He suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with astonishing rage. “What did you say?!”

Graham realized belatedly that his words were ambiguous and hurriedly said, “Mr. Winford, don’t worry, madam is fine! She just called me herself a moment ago and instructed me to handle the matter of the accident—”

The words were said, but how could Winford not worry? He quickly grabbed his coat, his face clouded with concern. “Where is Lia now?!”

“From what the lady meant, her cousin was injured and should be in the hospital now…”

“Take me there immediately!”

The hospital. Xander was brushed by a car; his injuries were not serious, but they were not light either. Ophelia and Lenora personally accompanied him to the hospital and stayed with the doctor while he treated his injuries.

After the doctor finished his work, Lenora went outside to call home, leaving only Ophelia and Xander in the ward. Xander looked at her with a complicated expression, hesitating to speak. After a moment, he still couldn’t hold back and asked her, “Why did you save me?”

Seeing his furrowed brow, Ophelia said, “You were my cousin.”

Xander fell silent. A moment later, he looked away and said, “I was very grateful that you saved me, and I would have someone deliver the reward to the Greene family afterwards.”

He expressed his gratitude with words, but his tone was indifferent, and the meaning behind his words still conveyed a desire to distance himself from her. It was clear that Ophelia had saved him, and although it had changed his perception of her somewhat, his attitude had not changed. He still refused to acknowledge her as his cousin, or rather, he still refused to believe in her!

Ophelia felt a sudden tightness in her chest, but she was not surprised at all. She knew that repairing this relationship was not easy and that it couldn’t be done in just one attempt.
