Chapter 328

Memories came flooding back, and she quickly lowered her head, concealing her reddened eyes filled with deep regret. Winford furrowed his brow even deeper, but in the end, he reluctantly sighed and ruffled her hair. “Fine,” he said.

Ophelia finally revealed a smile, turning her head to bury herself in his arms. Looking up at him, she said, “Husband, believe me, I will definitely be able to retrieve my own things without any loss!” Whether it was the inheritance left by my mother or her relatives! The girl’s eyes were bright and determined, exuding a strong and resolute aura. The melancholic emotions from earlier had long been concealed.

Winford was deeply moved by such a little wife. He gazed at her and said, “Good.” Ophelia smiled confidently. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly turned to ask Graham, who was sitting in the passenger seat, “Did you handle the car accident?”

Graham nodded. “Mrs. Pruitt, rest assured, I have already found out the identity of the hit-and-run driver. The mastermind behind this accident acted hastily, so it won’t be difficult to find evidence.”

Ophelia nodded satisfactorily. “Okay, give me the results when they are ready; I will use them.”

“Yes,” Graham replied.

Graham’s efficiency was impressive. The next day, Ophelia obtained what she wanted—a stack of evidence revealing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes: Bessie and Erin! Ophelia coldly lifted her lips; indeed, just as she had suspected!

She held the evidence and made a phone call to Lenora first. She learned that Xander had gone to the hospital to see Bessie. Then she greeted Winford, “Honey, I’m going out for a while.”

Winford replied, “Go ahead.”

Hospital. Bessie’s two legs were really paralyzed. She saw Xander, who came to visit her, as if she saw her last straw.

Chapter 8

“Xander! Xander… What should I do in the future? What am I supposed to do?” As soon as she saw Xander, she burst into tears and was so excited that she almost flipped off the hospital bed. Xander hurriedly held her, looking at her miserable appearance; his eyes shook heavily. He stared at her, without a word, and asked directly, “Bessie, was yesterday’s car accident related to you?”

Yesterday, he had intended to come and see her, but then suddenly remembered Ophelia’s words of warning. Yeah, how come the car accident happened so coincidentally? Did Bessie really not do anything? He hesitated for a moment and didn’t come over, but this morning he heard that Bessie’s legs were paralyzed! Without thinking much, he immediately rushed over! You should know that she became like this just to save him!

But there was still a lingering doubt in his mind that couldn’t be erased… Bessie froze suddenly. Two seconds later, she cried even more sorrowfully, trembling as she cried, her little face pale and pitiful. “Xander, what do you… what do you mean by that?”

“Do you doubt me? How can you doubt me! Have you forgotten why I became like this?”

Xander’s eyes flickered with a hint of shame, and for a moment, he also felt that he was wrong. She had paid such a great price to save him; how could the car accident be related to her?

Seeing the subtle reaction on his face, Bessie’s heart quietly sank to her throat, and she sadly said, “I know, Xander, you find me disgusting, you don’t want to deal with me anymore… That’s okay, you can go! But what’s the point of me living like this? I might as well be dead!”

Struggling under the bed, he actually had the intention of jumping out of the window.
