Chapter 296 Ophelia was carried to the couch while Kenneth knelt in front of her to check the injury on her leg. She said, "Actually, it's almost healed." Kenneth frowned and said, "It won't heal that easily." Ophelia smiled, picked up a bowl of porridge, and sipped it while glancing at the closed laptop. "In a bit. I need to go to the company. There are sthings I need to take care of." "I'll be there with you." Kenneth stood up, sat across from her, helped her peel a boiled egg, and placed it in front of her while casually grabbing a napkin to wipe his hands. He gave her light glance. Ophelia lowered her head and sipped her porridge, mumbling. No need." Her cheeks puffed out, like a little squirrel hoarding food. "I have a lot to do today," she added.
Kenneth said, "I won't bother you." Ophelia thought, 'Is he really insistent on going?' "If you go, how can I concentrate on work?" Kenneth chuckled softly, his mood unreadable.
Ophelia continued eating. After a while without a word from Kenneth opposite, she looked up to see him leaning back on the couch, legs crossed, his deep eyes behind glasses fixed unwaveringly on her. She asked, "What's the matter?" "Are you sure you don't needwith you?" His lips had a slight hint as cold as ice, making him seem unhappy.

She always felt a chill down her spine from being watched by Kenneth's gaze, making her uneasy. It had been a long tsince she felt such intense pressure from him.
"I've already eaten." His tone remained cold and indifferent as he adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. After a brief silence, Ophelia put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm done eating, and I'll go freshen up now." She stood up and was just about to the bathroom when she heard his calm voice from behind. "So after freshening up, you will leave hand be bound to the office. Once you finish there, you're planning to catch a flight to Jenton, right?" Ophelia froze, her injured leg nearly giving way.
Kenneth stood up.
"Trying to go on an adventure without telling me? Elia, you're being naughty." The last few words were said in a lower tone, carrying a hint of danger.
Ophelia could sense a shadow looming over her head from behind. She coughed lightly, feeling guilty, turned around, her pretty doe eyes curving as she met Kenneth's intimidating eyes. She asked, "What are you talking about?" 'How does he know?' Ophelia thought to herself.
11:55 Sun Dec 8 GDD Kenneth seemed to have ped what she was thinking. He let out a cold sort and lifted her chin. "You got my medical repet from Bonin "I was only concerned about your health? "Oh' Really? Kenneth's gaze seemed like it could see right through her.
She thought. Do I not know her by now? If she got the medical report, she must have found information on the 'poison bug with her nature, she would definitely want to go in person Plus, she was so upfront last night-it was obvious she was trying to calm him down beforehand so he wouldn't be too upset when he couldn't find her the next day.
After meeting his gaze. Ophelia quickly gave in. No matter how skilled she was at hiding her emotions, she was like an open book to him. She couldn't keep anything from him.
"Don't be angry! I wasn't planning to go by myself. If you're really worried, just send a few people to cwith me." As long as she wasn't prevented from going, everything was fine. She couldn't just obediently stay at home. Kenneth narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know what the place is like?" Of course, she did. She had already researched it yesterday.

There had been a longstanding issue with cross-border drug trafficking there, and even organ trafficking. "But I'm not going to Jenton!" "Not going?" Kenneth raised an eyebrow, questioning her as if she thought he was naive. "If you're going to Tansoton, you'll have to pass through there." So he knew everything. Ophelia looked down guiltily. The place she was heading was quite backward, without even an airport. She had to fly to the nearest city and drive from there.
Her destination was Tansoton. Rumor had it that more than half the people in that place were raising "poison bugs." For Kenneth, she definitely had to take this risk. Seeing the determined and stubborn look in her eyes, Kenneth knew there was no stopping her.
He could only soften his tone, gently rubbing her head. "I'll send someone ahead first. Until your leg heals, you can't go anywhere." She knew that's exactly how he would react. She let out a long sigh, her mouth turning downward, and her beautiful, clear eyes drooping immediately. She was like a little kitten who's been hurt. He couldn't stand to see her looking so down. "Kenneth Sinclair, you're all I have left..." He was so important to her that he was even more important than her own life. Kenneth's heart skipped a beat, feeling a pang of sadness seeing Ophelia's teary eyes. "You really have to go?" "Yes, I really have to go." Ophelia nodded firmly.
"Okay, I'll her.

with you." He really couldn't refuse his little princess. With her looking at him like that, he'd do anything for
"But don't get too excited just yet. There are rules-everything goes by my say and no taking risks. "Kenneth warned, holding the back of her neck. the Google C Darving as Big Jap shan though they cuted there erally could only he mg hide a loger
