Chapter 161

Kenneth remarked, "Since you're fine, then get back to Milagia." Kenneth's words were so cruel, piercing straight into Phoebe's heart. The warmth she had imagined from moments ago vanished instantly. Phoebe's face went even paler, and she thought she must have misheard.

But seeing Kenneth's emotionless face, she confirmed that she hadn't misheard.

Did he ask her to go back to Milagia?

"Kenny... Ahem... What... What do you mean by this?" Phoebe asked, almost crying, her tear-filled eyes fixed on Kenneth.

Kenneth gave her a sideways glance and asked, "Do you really think you're so clever, or that this plan of yours is perfect? Do you think that by getting yourself kidnapped too, no one would suspect you?

"Have you ever considered the consequences of hurting Ophelia? Do you think I'd be afraid of the Davidson family?"

Those were the most words Kenneth had ever said to Phoebe.

But not a single word was what she wanted to hear.

"Kenny, is this really how you see me?" As Phoebe spoke, tears left trails down her pale face, and the bandage on her right

arm started to soak through with blood again.

She continued, "You know my status in the Davidson family. It was your grandfather who kidnapped me to make the Davidson family act against you, but I didn't agree. Kenny, you know I would never let anyone hurt you." Phoebe wiped away the tears on her chin with her left hand and shifted her shoulder, gasping with pain.

She added, "Ouch... Oh... If I really wanted Ms. Spencer to get hurt, I could have just not taken the bullet for her."

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Phoebe's forehead.

There was a brief silence in the ward.

After a while, Phoebe said, "Kenny, I know you're still upset with me, blaming me for always following Aunt's plans. To be honest, she did suggest I come to Heloria.

"But I promise, I'm not here to ruin things between you and Ms. Spencer. Trust me, I won't do anything to hurt her in the future."

"You better not," Kenneth said and looked at Phoebe with his sharp and cold eyes.

As he turned away, Phoebe noticed a small red mark on his neck

She felt upset and held back the tears.

"I need to rest now. Fiona, please show him out," Phoebe said and closed her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed, as tears sparkled beneath her trembling lashes. Kenneth left the ward without looking at Phoebe again.

After he left, Phoebe opened her eyes.

Her chest heaved with emotion, and her eyes burned with frustration and defiance.

After Fiona Walters saw Kenneth off, she returned to the ward.

"Have you looked into it? Who managed to break through the signal jammer?" Phoebe's voice was cold, and even though her face was pale, she no longer seemed frail. Fiona pursed her lips and said, "Ms. Davidson, there's news about Ms. Emma Davidson."

"What?" Phoebe asked and frowned, a glimpse of fear and astonishment in her eyes.

Phoebe pondered, 'Isn't she dead? How is that possible?'

Fiona said, "Yes, she's in Heloria. The person who breached our signal jammer is most likely her."

Hearing this, Phoebe suddenly felt short of breath, her body hair standing on end.

Phoebe thought, 'Is she still alive?

'She has disappeared for five years. How could she suddenly show up?"

"Find her, no matter what!" Phoebe's eyes were still filled with panic, and her eyebrows knitted even tighter.

The next day, Ophelia's forehead wound could now get wet.

She carefully washed her face, and as she came out of the bathroom, her phone on the table started vibrating non-stop.

Kenneth went to the company this morning, and Ophelia had wanted to go to the studio.

However, Kenneth insisted she stay home to recover.

Ophelia complained in her heart, 'It's just a tiny scratch. Do I really need to stay home to rest? Luckily, the Carnegie family didn't know, or they wouldn't let me get out of bed. The caller ID showed James' name.

As soon as Ophelia picked up the phone, she heard a heavy sigh from the other end. James said, "You gotta check Twitter!"

James didn't want to say anything more. His tone held a hint of helplessness.

Ophelia was intrigued, but despite multiple attempts, she was unable to log in to Twitter.

It seemed to be down.

Ophelia wondered, 'What kind of shocking news broke out?'

About a dozen minutes later, Ophelia finally managed to check Twitter.

The top trending topic had the hashtag. "Thomas and Sharon Got Hitched".

Ophelia was surprised.

Thomas had posted: [The world is vast, brimming with fireworks. You are everything and everywhere.]

He had attached a photo of himself and Sharon in their wedding attire, along with two marriage certificates, on a background of flowers.

Sharon wrote: [Starting today, I will never be alone again.]

She attached the same photos that Thomas had posted.

Ophelia was shocked.

Then she looked through the comments below. In Sharon's comment section, Thomas wrote: [Loving you marks the beginning of my lifelong romance.]

In the comment section of Thomas' post, Sharon wrote: [You appear at the perfect timing of all the beautiful things I've encountered.]

Thomas and Sharon got married so quickly, which stunned Ophelia.

Ophelia called Sharon directly.

"Elia, I was just about to explain to you! It's not like what you think!" Sharon explained.

"Then what is it?" asked Ophelia.

Sharon sighed and said, "Didn't we get seen living together during the New Year holiday? Actually, we just had dinner together, and then...

"Anyway, I don't really know how to explain. Our parents found out about it, so we just got the marriage certificate to keep them calm! Since it's Valentine's Day, we made it official. There's really nothing between Thomas and me!" Ophelia almost rolled her eyes.

Not hearing Ophelia respond, Sharon quickly continued to explain, "Really, we haven't even kissed! Oh Elia, I'm super confused too. How did we end up getting married without even realizing it? Is it too late to regret it now?" Ophelia asked, "Well... So what do you think about Thomas?"

As an observer, Ophelia seemed to have understood the situation.

Thomas must have been plotting for quite a while.

Sharon said, "My thoughts? He's just a boy to me; I'm three years older than him! How could I feel anything for him? When was in middle school, he was just a kid!

"Lately, after spending time with him, I think he seems different from how I used to know him. I never thought I'd be interested in a guy younger than me, assuming they'd be immature. But he's actually quite mature and very considerate. "You wouldn't believe it. Once, I was filming a scene in the snow and happened to be on my period. Somehow, he found out and came to visit with lots of heat pads, hot chocolate, and other stuff..."

Talking about Thomas, Sharon started detailing every surprisingly thoughtful thing he had done.

Ophelia didn't have anything else to do, so she just listened quietly.

Sharon went on, "Today, there were so many people getting their marriage certificates. He woke me up before sunrise.

"I assumed getting a certificate would be straightforward, but I didn't anticipate needing photos, paperwork, waiting in line, undergoing a premarital health check, filling out forms, and all the rest.

"It was quite a hassle. Yet, he managed everything so efficiently. If it weren't for his trembling while reciting the vows, I'd have thought he'd done this before!"
