Ophelia spread on the sofa and looked logy. Having no idea about how long it had passed, she then
reached out to her bag with her shuddering hands, and spent a long time searching for her
smartphone. In tremble, she dialed someone.
As the phone was put through, she couldn't help choking with sobs, "I'm feeling extremely depressed
and sick, Madeleine. Could you please come around?"
"What happened? Wait for me, and I'm coming now."
Hanging up the phone, she then continued spreading herself on the sofa with a dumb look on her face.
Soon, in less than half an hour, Madeleine came to her place and rang the bell in haste.
As Ophelia opened the door, Madeleine was shocked by the pale look on her face and hasten to ask,
"What happened? You're looking bad."
Simply forcing out a weak smile, she couldn't help collapsing on the body of Madeleine.
Madeleine was frightened to see that, and asked worriedly, "Hey, are you alright?"
There was no response from Ophelia — she seemed to have lost her consciousness.
In panic, Madeleine was about to cry out of anxiety and yelled, "Zachariah! Where the hell are
you, Zachariah? Opheliahas just fainted!"
Zachariah then rushed downstairs.
"What's wrong with her?" Zachariah asked.
"See for yourself, asshole! She fainted! Now, we need to take her to the hospital, and I swear if there
was anything that happened to her and her kid, I would never forgive you!" Madeleine roared
hysterically.
Zachariah picked Ophelia up around her waist and rushed to the elevator. Luckily, the elevator was
seemingly waiting for him on his floor.
Soon, after getting out of the elevator, Zachariah held Ophelia in his arms and soon got in his car
with Madeleine.
"Keep your eyes on her." Zachariah said to Madeleine.
Madeleine gave him a blank look and disdained to give any response.
Zachariah paid no attention to her stance, took his seat on the main driver's seat and dialed Dr.
Kenelm, "Mr. Kenelm, It's me, Zachariah. Ophelia has fainted, and currently needs help! Prepare the
best doctor for her and wait for us!"
As his voice faded, he hung off the phone.
It was at night, and thus there were few cars driving on the road. Running a few lights on his
way, Zachariah drove at full speed and soon reached the hospital.
A group of doctors and nurses had already been waiting at the front door. Zachariah pulled up the car,
took Ophelia out of the back seat and placed her on the stretcher brought by the medical staff.
Ophelia was pulled into the operating room, and Zachariah was standing outside of the room together
with Madeleine. Madeleine glared at her and shouted, "Tell me, what have you done to Ophelia? What
kind of grievance could ever shock her into unconsciousness? If there was anything wrong with her, I
would fight it out with you at all cost!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Leaning on the wall, Zachariah growled.
Madeleine was so angry that she was nearly choked by her anger. In tremble, she pointed
at Zachariah and said, "You're such a despicable evil, Zachariah! She has done nothing wrong, but why
do you just hurt her so deeply over and over again?"
Zachariah remained silent.
Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her mood and then said, "And now, you choose to play dumb, huh?
Fine, but you need to keep in mind that I would come for you at all cost if anything went wrong
with Ophelia!"
Zachariah took a glance at her and said, "Could you just please keep quiet for a second? You're
making too much noise."
Madeleine laughed out of anger. She inhaled sharply and said, "Then, may I ask you a simple
question, Zachariah?"
"Say it." Zachariah looked at her and said.
"Tell me something about why she was shocked into the hospital and what have you done to her within
two or three hours since you left my place?" Asked Madeleine in a quite calm manner.
"It's between me and her."
Again, Madeleine inhaled and asked, "Come on, Zachariah. You know how to do things like a man."
, Zachariah sat on the chair and ignored Madeleine's chattering.
Madeleine continued, "I tell you the truth, Zachariah: Ophelia loves you, and her love for you is by no
means fake. Otherwise, she would have already abandoned the kid in her tummy. She once said to me
that she regarded the kid as the crystallization of the love of your two, though she knew that you didn't
have the same feeling for her."
As she continued, something seemed to shake the heart of Zachariah.
With her eyes turned red, she continued, "Just face it, Zachariah: the one who lies inside currently is
your wife! No matter if she did the things right or wrong, you should learn how to be tolerable and
broad-minded, instead of pressing her so hard that it shocked her into unconsciousness! If, by any
chance, I failed to come over in time, anything could have happened on her and her child! Is that OK
for you?"
She raised her hands and wiped tears, "Well, maybe I'm just wasting my time trying to persuade you,
our heartless Mr. Chambers. You will never know how she thinks of you, as well as what kind of love
she is holding inside for you. She has given you anything she has, and you…"
"Don't you ever say that she has the love for me again!" Zachariah stood up suddenly, and couldn't
help growling out.
Madeleine was shocked, looking at his red eyes, daring not to continue her speech.
"I've long been tolerable enough with you, giving that you are Ophelia's friend! Dare you ever say that
she loves me again, I will literally drive you out of this city!"
"I'm just telling you the truth! Why are you in such an overreaction to that?" In rage, Madeleine was not
seemingly to give up yet, "She only loves you, and loves you so dearly that she is even willing to bear a
child for you! Isn't that enough to prove her sincerity and earnestness?"
Zachariah, with a malicious and insidious look on his face, said, "It is possible that the kid in her tummy
is not mine."
