Chapter 423

When Winford first met Ophelia, she felt that he didn't reject her. Later, because of Ophelia's presence, he showed extra patience toward her compared to others. And now, she could also feel that Winford truly treated her as a cousin! She knew that all of this was because of Ophelia. Winford cared about Ophelia, so he loved everything related to her and also cared about the people Ophelia cared about.

Lenora suddenly felt very happy—for Ophelia's happiness in life, and for finally receiving recognition herself. Ophelia was also very happy, and as soon as she turned around, she hugged Winford and said, “Honey, you are so good!” Winford looked at her with lowered eyes, his brows and eyes filled with deep affection and tenderness.

Bryson happened to come down from upstairs and caught a glimpse of Lenora's back. He casually asked, “Oh? Is there a guest…?” The sound abruptly stopped. It was all because Lenora turned her head at that moment. Bryson felt all the sounds around him disappear, and he couldn’t see any of the scenes in his line of sight. In his eyes, there was only the figure of the girl sitting upright, with clear and timid eyes when looking at him.

In that moment, his heart suddenly and intensely ached without warning. His eyes welled up with a sour sensation, and he felt an urge to burst into tears. He recognized her at a glance; she was the girl he had accidentally caught a glimpse of last time, Ophelia’s cousin. He felt something was wrong at that time, and now it is even more obvious than last time. “What, what happened to you?”

Seeing his pale face, as if he had suddenly fallen seriously ill, Lenora became somewhat flustered.

Lenora had been to Sunset Vista twice before. The first time was a long time ago, and she didn’t see Bryson then. The second time was the day before yesterday, and she only heard that there was a Bryson from Kingchester living here, but she didn’t see him either. This was her first meeting with Bryson.

Upon hearing Lenora’s words, Ophelia and Winford immediately turned to look at Bryson. I saw him gripping the handrail of the stairs, his back of the hand bulging with veins, as if enduring extreme pain, which startled me. “What happened?”

Bryson quickly suppressed the abnormality on his face, and fortunately, after that moment, the pain in his heart gradually eased. Bryson looked up and saw Ophelia and Winford walking towards him with large strides, clearly very concerned about his appearance. Bryson was instantly moved beyond measure. These two humans, who used to spend all day showing affection, teasing him, and prioritizing romance over friendship, surprisingly knew how to care for him. It truly brings tears to one’s eyes!

Ophelia approached and immediately took his pulse, then furrowed her brow. “I don’t see any issues, what’s bothering you?” “There was nowhere uncomfortable.” Bryson concealed his past, with a desolate expression. “It’s just painful to think that the time to fulfill the promise is approaching. Why did I speak recklessly?”

Ophelia: I heard it, the tone was really painful. “It’s nothing,” she said, turning her head to Winford. Winford believed in her medical skills and immediately felt relieved. “This is…” Bryson couldn’t help but look at Lenora.

Ophelia, for some reason, suddenly remembered the last time she only saw a side profile of Lenora at her house and Bryson’s lost expression, and instantly became alert. “This is my cousin, she was young and didn’t date.” Lenora said quietly, “Hello, my name is Lenora.”
