Chapter 199
So there was yet another round of repeated examinations, and in the end, looking at the results that were exactly the same as before, the doctor was sweating profusely and could only say, “Mr. Winford, the human brain is quite complex, and with current medical technology, we have not been able to fully explore it. Therefore, we are unable to help with your wife’s condition. It would be better to send her to a larger hospital for further evaluation…”
At that moment, it was almost dawn. When Ophelia heard these words, she felt a shiver in her heart and hurriedly tugged at Winford’s clothes. She looked up and pretended to be weak, saying, “Honey, I think I’m feeling better…”
The whole night had passed, and the time requested by the person who had set a trap for her husband was over, so she no longer needed to pretend.
If you keep pretending, I’m afraid you will be sent to a bigger hospital!
What if it turned out that she was pretending when the time came?
“Really better?” Winford wiped the sweat that he had struggled to hold back from his forehead.
“Mm–hmm!” Ophelia acted with great skill, pretending to look a little better than she h
just a moment ago.
Winford was about to speak when Graham suddenly hurried into the ward, “Mr. Winford!”
“What was the matter?”

“Look at this!” Graham held a box in his hand. He opened it, and inside was a bloody finger!
Winford’s gaze sharpened, and he immediately covered Ophelia’s curious eyes, pulling her into his embrace.
Then he looked back at the box, and inside, besides a severed finger, there was a note written in blood that said, “Mr. Winford, please save
me.”
In such a bloody scene, Winford’s gaze did not waver at all; there was only a cold light in his eyes. “Where did it come from?”
“The group of people sent it over, saying this was… Elva’s finger.”
Elva’s fingers?
In Winford’s arms, Ophelia suddenly looked up.
In the last life, there was no such experience, probably because Winford went to the appointment right from the start, so the other party didn’t need to use Elva to threaten him.
She pushed aside the man’s large hand that covered her eyes, wanting to take a look, but was pressed back into his embrace.
“Be good.” The man’s tone carried a slight warning, perhaps out of concern that she might be frightened.
Ophelia pouted in dissatisfaction.
Not to mention that she had seen plenty of bloody scenes during her previous life as a doctor, and she didn’t take this matter seriously at all. Just the thought that it was Elva’s fingers made her completely unafraid; she only felt a sense of relief and that it served her right!
Others did not know, but she knew what was going on with this matter.

In her past life, during this period, although she was indifferent towards Winford, the man’s special feelings for her were evident to all. Elva felt that she had taken her place, and in order to make Winford value her again, she did something foolish-
She deliberately leaked Winford’s medical records and colluded with a group of unknown kidnappers, planning to set up a situation where Winford would be captured. Then she would come out to rescue him, believing that once he owed her a debt of gratitude, Mr. Winford would treat her differently!
However, what they did not expect was that the group of kidnappers were indeed real kidnappers who had been targeting Winford. They had originally had no way to approach him, but who would have thought that she would come to them voluntarily!
Thus, everything did not develop according to Elva’s plan. Winford fell into a trap and was seriously injured, while Alfred died in the accident while trying to save her!
In this lifetime, Elva still did the same foolish thing, probably hoping to use a “life–saving grace” to make Winford change his mind and allow her
to return to Sunset Vista..
She came to her senses as Graham was saying, “They said that Elva is in their hands, and if Mr. Winford doesn’t keep the appointment tonight, they will kill her.”
Ophelia almost scoffed out loud. Threatening her husband with Elva? Those kidnappers must have been out of their minds.
However, it seemed that Elva did not tell the truth to the kidnappers; in fact, she might have even exaggerated her status in front of Winford. That was why the kidnappers were so confident and arrogant, even demanding that Winford go to the meeting again.
”
Thinking about this, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Elva? How could she be in the hands of the kidnappers?”
Yes, how could Elva have been in the hands of the kidnappers?
They naturally thought of this anomaly, Winford and Graham.
