Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 265

Chapter 265

Ophelia pushed through the crowd of onlookers and stepped forward, finding Eric lying there, his face ashen, eyes tightly shut, with a gunshot wound on his shoulder.

For a moment, it felt like her mind exploded with a loud ringing

She crouched down, her fingers trembling as she checked his breathing. It was faint, almost nonexistent.

At the same time, Charles rushed over, startled that such an incident could happen on the island. He worried that Ophelia might find out,

Just as Charles was thinking this, he spotted the familiar figure. Mrs. Sinclair..."

"He's still breathing, quickly call for a doctor," Ophelia said.

"Oh, yes..." Charles was momentarily stunned, quickly giving orders to send for the medical team.

An hour later, Eric was lying in a large bed at the hotel, his lean upper body covered by blankets.

His right shoulder was bandaged, and his long hair was messy, cascading around his face. His once youthful face had lost all color, but fortunately, his breathing had steadied, no longer as faint as before. Charles, recognizing him as one of Kenneth and Ophelia's companions, immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate the situation.

A subordinate knocked and entered, first glancing at the man on the bed, then looking at Ophelia.

The words on his lips faltered.

Charles understood, was about to step out with him, but Ophelia stopped him.

"Whatever it is, just say it here," she said.

The burly man pursed his lips, glancing at Charles.

Charles nodded slightly, signaling him to speak. "We've looked into it. This gentleman was dragged out of the airport and thrown into the sea. It was... Mr. Sinclair's men who did it," he said.

He lowered his voice for the second part of the sentence, clearly not fully understanding what had happened.

They had already heard that Kenneth was ruthless in his actions, and this time, they had witnessed it firsthand.

"Was he the only one thrown into the sea?" Ophelia asked, her voice cold.

"Ah? Yes, just him," he replied.

Ophelia's face turned frosty, a heavy stone pressing down on her chest.

'What does this mean? What is Kenneth doing? Ray and Eric went together. If they were discovered, they should have been found together.

'Besides, Eric is my person. He knows what's going on. Even if Kenneth wanted to kill him, at least he would've considered my feelings, right? But he didn't. What exactly happened?' she thought. Ophelia glanced at Eric, who was still lying on the bed. 'What could he have done to anger Kenneth so much?' she wondered. She sighed and decided to wait until Eric woke up to ask him. 1/4
