Chapter 324

“Cousin, you…” Lenora looked at Ophelia, her eyes filled with a bright pain. Ophelia felt a warmth in her heart, smiled, and comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

Lenora’s lips moved. Relatives were taken away by others, and one’s position was completely replaced by someone else. How could that be nothing?

Ophelia sighed, “I really wasn’t okay…” She had a determined look in her eyes, not just putting on a brave face. Indeed, it was somewhat sad, but she would no longer indulge in the melancholy of spring and autumn. With that time, it was better to do something useful.

I felt warm inside and also found it amusing that my cousin’s mood was actually worse than hers.

Ophelia comforted her for quite a while, and just as they were about to part ways, Richard, Freya, Xander, and Isabelle unexpectedly came out of the hospital, looking as if they had been discharged. Given Xander’s personality, how could he possibly endure staying in the hospital obediently with such a minor injury?

Seeing Ophelia still outside, Richard was taken aback for a moment and gently said, “Ophelia hasn’t left yet?”

At that moment, the Whitaker family’s car arrived. Two cars; one was the one Richard and Freya had come in, and the other was for picking up Isabelle from the airport. The Whitaker family, consisting of five members, was just enough.

Isabelle helped Xander get into the car. As he was about to go, Xander hesitated for a moment. He frowned slightly, looking somewhat irritated, and turned to Ophelia, who was standing alone. “Didn’t the Greene family send a car to pick you up?”

Actually, it wasn’t a big deal. Nowadays, transportation is so convenient that you can just call a taxi with your phone. However, on such a cold day, the Whitaker family drove their own car, leaving her all alone here. It seemed a bit inappropriate, no matter how you looked at it.

Lenora glanced at her parents and said softly, “There are two cars with six seats, and there is one left, so we can take my cousin home.”

Richard glanced at the silent Ophelia, sighed inwardly, and nodded, “Nora was right. Since there is a place, let’s go ahead and send her off.”

However, Freya did not agree immediately; instead, she first looked at Isabelle, fearing that if they became too close to Ophelia, Isabelle would feel hurt.

Isabelle smiled slightly and said generously, “Uncle and Nora are right. Since there is still space in our car, let’s give them a ride. Aunt, don’t worry about me; I won’t think too much about it.”

Freya then smiled and said to her indulgently, “I knew that our Isabelle was a kind child.”

Ophelia stood aside, watching them discuss as if they were a family, while she was excluded, feeling like a complete outsider. Especially when Isabelle spoke, she glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally; it was unclear whether it was deliberate or not. She mentioned “our family’s car,” and then the phrase “I won’t think too much” made people want to laugh even more. Shouldn’t it be her, Ophelia, who was worth thinking about? Isabelle, as a vested interest who replaced someone else’s position and took over someone else’s benefits, had no right to think too much.

She mockingly tugged at her lip and said, “No need, I have a car.”

Xander had just breathed a sigh of relief because his parents agreed to take Ophelia when she turned around and rejected it herself. His handsome brows immediately furrowed even deeper, and he said unhappily, “What car do you have? Where is it?”
