Chapter 268
The rumbling noise around was giving Ophelia a headache. She slept so deeply that she struggled to distinguish between dreams and reality. She dreamed of her past life.
Began with she married with Kenneth, and the first time she saw him in a wheelchair, the first time she was scared by his ruthless ways, the first time he pinned her against the wall for a forceful kiss, and the first time they had a passionate
encounter…
Kenneth was very possessive; even seeing her smile at another man was unacceptable to him.
Six months after moving to Rosewood Manor, her relationship with Kenneth Sinclair was still completely unfamiliar.
She could feel that he was always watching her, but he never showed it, and she never spoke to him. Every time she tried to push him away, he never actually left.
Since she moved to Rosewood Manor, all she thought about was divorce, not knowing they hadn’t even got their marriage license yet.
And then, she couldn’t quite recall why Kenneth came to agree to the divorce and let her go. All she remembered was that for a long time, she didn’t see him at Rosewood Manor again.
Then, she finally received the “divorce agreement” she had been longing for.
Her head hurt, feeling like it was splitting. Her eardrums were uncomfortable too. She thought, ‘Haven’t I gone to find Kenneth? Where is he?‘ She clearly remembered seeing Kenneth right before she fainted.
“Ken… Kenneth… come out…” Ophelia murmured softly, her brow furrowed and her breathing becoming rapid.
Suddenly, Ophelia’s eyelids fluttered open, her long lashes trembling slightly. Her mind was foggy, the ringing in her ears unbearable.
Scanning the unfamiliar surroundings, she abruptly sat up on the bed, looking around.
She thought, ‘Where am I?‘ It seemed like she was on a plane.
The lighting was dim, the blinds were drawn, and she lay in a bed that resembled a space pod. She pulled back the blinds, revealing the darkness outside.

hich flight is this? And where is Kenneth?‘
She clearly remembered seeing him before she passed out. She was eager to know what was going on now.
“Ophelia…” A young, slightly inexperienced voice sounded beside her, and she realized she hadn’t noticed anyone else there.

standing. There was a hint of nervousness and unease in his eyes.
“Scott? You’re awake…” Ophelia’s thoughts were still jumbled, and her mind was working slowly. Her temples pulsed slightly. Scott pressed his lips together, ran his hand through his hair, and a look of unfamiliarity flashed in his eyes.

bit groggy.
Ronin looked surprised to see Ophelia and glanced down at his watch.
Clearly, he didn’t expect her to wake up so early. The amount of medicine given should have kept her asleep until they reached Dellanex.
“Dr. West.” Ophelia called out when she noticed him zoning out.
Ronin quickly explained, “He just woke up recently. His symptoms are similar to Noah’s; he can’t remember much, not even who he is.”
Ophelia frowned and asked, “Then how does he know I’m Ophelia?”
“It’s hard to say. Maybe it’s a reflex, or it could be that you mean a lot to him, so he remembers you.” Actually, he had informed Scott beforehand.
The aim was to keep Ophelia in front of him from getting off the plane just to fly straight back to Milagia.
“He just woke up and needs his family around.” Ronin added.
Ophelia looked at Scott. The boy was tall and thin, with a pointed chin. Seeing him, she couldn’t help but feel a guilty.
“Are you… Ophelia?” Scott asked, nervously clutching the hem of his shirt.
He seemed like a young teenager, but the panic in his eyes was like a child left without an adult.
Ophelia nodded, gave a small smile, and walked over. “It’s good you’re awake. From now on, I’ll take care of you.” Scott nodded.
After calming Scott, Ophelia turned her head, her sharp gaze landing on Ronin. “Dr. West, what’s really going on with Kenneth?”
Ophelia’s question surprised Ronin. As he met her gaze, he felt a bit uneasy. He thought, ‘Why does this damn aura remind me so much of Kenneth? No, to be precise, it is like being questioned by my mom.
He swallowed nervously, looked away from Ophelia, and coughed lightly to cover his discomfort. “Why do you ask that?” By now, Ophelia had composed herself, her mind clear, unlike earlier, and she had made sense of many things.
She initially thought Kenneth was going to do something risky without telling her, but when they stormed into the guild, she saw many key members were there.
So either Kenneth was in some trouble, or he was preparing to do something on his own.
Ronin said, “Kiddo, you know Kenneth has been quite the ladies man abroad these years…”
Ophelia gave a soft chuckle. Her smile was dazzling, but there was no warmth in her bright eyes. This sharp contrast struck a nerve in Ronin.
For a moment, it reminded him of his little sister who had been killed by enemies when she was just three.
Especially Ophelia’s eyes, clear and innocent like a fawn’s, which were similar to his sister’s big, brown grape–like eyes–the same brown eyes that he and Noah inherited from their father, Xander West.
Seeing Ronin’s strange gaze, Ophelia furrowed her brow even deeper. “Do you think I’d believe that? Never mind, if Kenneth told you not to tell me, I won’t trouble you.”
After Ophelia finished speaking, she sat down next to Scott.

Ronin didn’t expect herto be so easygoing, not asking anything, just sitting back down. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole plane had only the three of them, and the interior was luxurious.
Ophelia looked at Scott next to her with a sense of relief and guilt.
The plane landed at Dellanex International Airport. Ophelia checked the time; it had already been a day and a half since she went to Milagia.
All the way until the plane landed, Ophelia didn’t mention Kenneth again. Her expression was blank.
She showed indifference to Ronin too, but kept holding Scott’s hand. Like an older sister, she took care of Scott beside her.
Scott looked at everything with a hint of curiosity. Ophelia told him, “This is Dellanex in Heloria, where you’ve lived since you were a kid. Do you remember it?” Scott shook his head.
Ophelia thought, ‘He doesn’t remember any of this?‘
Ronin followed behind the two of them and said, “Right now, he doesn’t know anything, and his physical abilities have decreased. While getting back to a normal life, he needs to exercise more.”
He quietly moved closer to Ophelia and whispered while Scott was looking around. “It’s like he’s been reset, a fre
Ronin thought, ‘Ophelia should understand what I mean, right?”
