Zachariah tried hard to get rid of Mrs. Gwylan but she held him even tighter. They stalemated and
eventually alerted the doctors and nurses in the hospital, and someone even informed the hospital
director.
A dozen people were coming this way in unison.
Mr. Kenelm, who rushed over surrounded by doctors and nurses, froze for a moment when he saw
Mrs. Gwylan kneeling on the ground and hugging Zachariah's thighs very unimaginatively, but quickly
returned to normal.
“What’s going on here?” Mr. Kenelm came forward and deliberately eased the atmosphere, “Zachariah,
Mrs. Gwylan is a friend of your mother’s, and how could you let her kneel on the ground?”
Zachariah just had his poker face.
Mr. Kenelm was also keenly aware of the stalemate between the two. He stepped forward, raised his
hand, and patted Zachariah's shoulder, saying, “Zachariah, go help Mrs. Gwylan up. This is a hospital,
and many people are watching.”
Zachariah squatted down to help her up, but to his surprise, Mrs. Gwylan said, “Zachariah, I won’t give
up if you don’t forgive Cora. I’m an old lady and my pride is not as important as my daughter’s
happiness.”
Zachariah simply let go of his hand and stood up straight, not caring for Mrs. Gwylan who was tugging
at his thigh.
Mr. Kenelm looked at the scene in front of him, which was bizarre to the extreme, and hurriedly said,
“Mrs. Gwylan, if you have something to say, get up and say it. If you keep like this, people will think that
Zachariah is bullying you. The Chambers family and the Fletcher family have known each other for
many years, so it's not good for each other if the relationship goes bad, right?”
Mrs. Gwylan kept tugging on Zachariah.
Mr. Kenelm squatted down and tried to pick her up, not expecting her to push him away directly.
He was a bit unpleasant but held back the anger and said, “Mrs. Gwylan, you’re a noblewoman. It’s not
appropriate to be seen by others if you tug on a young man’s leg like this in the hospital. Get up and
we’ll talk properly. If it's really Zachariah’s fault, don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson for you.”
Mrs. Gwylan then got up from the ground and fiddled with her somewhat disheveled hair elegantly.
“Mr. Kenelm, I'm really sorry for this.” Mrs. Gwylan said decently as if it wasn't her who had just lost her
temper at all.
Mr. Kenelm just smiled and said, “Mrs. Gwylan, we might as well talk somewhere else, somewhere
more private where you can talk.”
Mrs. Gwylan glanced at the operating room, and Mr. Kenelm said with a smile, “You can rest assured
that the doctor who operated on your daughter is one of the top doctors in the hospital and she will be
fine.”
Mrs. Gwylan thought about it but finally nodded.
When they got to the dean's office, Mr. Kenelm pointed to the sofa and said, “Mrs. Gwylan, please have
a seat.”
Mrs. Gwylan sat down on the sofa, while Zachariah chose the other side of the sofa to sit down.
Mr. Kenelm said, “I'll go out for a while, if you two have anything to say, just spread it out.” Then he
looked at Zachariah and added, “Just talk to Mrs. Gwylan nicely and don't make her angry again, okay?
I'll go out first, just give me a call if you need anything.”
Zachariah stood up and said, “Mr. Kenelm, I've got business in the office and I have to go now, I’ll leave
Mrs. Gwylan to you.”
Mrs. Gwylan also stood up abruptly and said with some anger, “You can’t. Cora is still in the operating
room. If you are not there, and she wakes up without seeing you, God knows what will happen to her.
You can’t leave.”
Zachariah was a little impatient.
Mr. Kenelm tried to play the peacemaker. He stepped forward and smiled, “Mrs. Gwylan, calm down.
Let’s sit down and talk properly, take it easy.”
Mrs. Gwylan was still excited.
“Mr. Kenelm, I only have this one precious little girl, and she has been in the operating room several
times because of miscarriage, I do not know if she can still have children in the future. My little girl
suffered so much because of Zachariah, and now he wanted to dump her for nothing, how could he?”
Mr. Kenelm remained calm and said, “Mrs. Gwylan, why don’t you go out for a second, and I’ll talk to
Zachariah first?”
Mrs. Gwylan thought about it but finally nodded.
After Mrs. Gwylan went out, Mr. Kenelm pointed to the sofa and said, “Sit, we need to talk.”
Zachariah sat down.
Mr. Kenelm also sat on the other side of the sofa, pondered, and said, “Is the child that Cora just
miscarried really yours?”
Zachariah nodded honestly.
Mr. Kenelm made his displeasure quite obviously, “Does Ophelia know this?”
Zachariah nodded again.
Mr. Kenelm’s displeasure was even more obvious, and his fists are slowly clenching.
“I have always believed that you are a gentleman of good conduct, not at all like other playboys.
Although you’ve been to nightclubs, bars, or such places, you always play by the rules. I never thought
you would do such things, hurting two girls at the same time.”
Zachariah hung his head.
Mr. Kenelm continued with a serious look, “I know that you and Cora grew up together, also once
thought that she’s the one to marry, but she broke it off with you five years ago. You’ve married
Ophelia, and Ophelia should have given birth in two months, how can you be entangled with that
woman again? How could you do this to Ophelia? Especially you actually cheated on Ophelia while
she’s pregnant, this is the most degrading thing a man can do, and I didn't think you would do it too.
Seriously, I am disappointed in you.”
