Chapter 409

The atmosphere finally settled, and at this moment, Ophelia finally had the wherewithal to pay attention to the gift sent by Desmond. What was inside those gift boxes, although valuable, meant nothing to her wealthy husband. Moreover, she had saved his life, so it was perfectly normal to consider them a token of gratitude. There was nothing that couldn't be accepted.

But that note, as well as the peculiar jade pendant, was quite delicate; no wonder Winford was so angry! “Honey, I immediately had someone send it back!” she coaxed Winford.

Seeing those gifts, Winford’s eyes grew slightly cold, and without hesitation, he immediately ordered someone to take care of them. Ophelia also provided Desmond’s address willingly. However, the subordinate who went to deliver the items quickly returned them intact.

“Mr. Winford, Mrs. Pruitt, the people there have already moved out!”

“Moved away?” Ophelia was slightly taken aback, but upon further reflection, it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Wade had mentioned before, when they went to treat someone, that if they couldn’t cure them, they would be leaving Minston. And there was also the note that said she would be waiting in Kingchester…

Looking at the jade pendant that had been returned, Ophelia was now in a dilemma. She was in Winford’s arms, looking up at him and saying, “Husband…” As a married woman, she couldn’t keep this thing! But now the owner has left and hasn’t returned; it’s not good to throw it away either, after all, this thing looks very valuable and has special meaning…

Winford’s face showed a hint of gloom, but as he looked at the cautious and troubled expression in her beautiful eyes, he eventually relented and said lightly, “I can’t pay now, so I will pay later. Please keep it for now.”

Ophelia immediately smiled and hugged him, rubbing against him. “Honey, you are so good!” Winford held her in his arms, his expression much more relaxed. However, when he thought of the person who was coveting his wife, whose fate was unknown, a cold and ruthless light flashed in his eyes.

He took his wife upstairs and called for Graham, ordering him to investigate the identity of that “Desmond.” Graham was given the order and immediately went to do it, but the final result was unexpected.

“Mr. Winford, not found.”

Based on Ophelia’s description, this “Desmond” didn’t seem like an ordinary person, but when Graham investigated, he found out that the other person had only been in Minston for a month and a half, during which time all of his actions were very cautious and mysterious. Even the top medical school that treated him didn’t know his name; they only knew his last name was Caldwell!

Bryson, who had just walked in, interjected, “He said Ophelia was waiting in Kingchester; that person should already be in Kingchester now.” He pondered, touching his chin. “But I haven’t heard of any prestigious Caldwell family in Kingchester either…”

“Forget about it if you can’t find them; they’re not important.” Ophelia, standing on the stairs and overhearing this, quickly said, “Ay!” She only found out that Winford had someone check Desmond’s identity. She really wished that Desmond would not appear again! It was just a gift, but Winford had such a big reaction. If a real person appears in the future, her husband will definitely be extremely jealous. It was time for her to come and coax him!
