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 some things 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.
