Ophelia was taken aback. She waved her hand and tried to sit up, only to rip her wound. She coughed
violently.
Zach stroked her chest considerately.
"Take it easy, just tell us what you want," Zach said softly.
Wilfred felt bad for Ophelia and said, "Just calm down, Ophelia. She's here to apologize, not to rip off
your wounds again."
Ophelia gasped and finally got her breath.
"Wilfred, please stop Lilianna. I can't watch her doing that. Please sit down and let's talk. I still need
some time to recover, so I can't speak too loud. Please don't blame me for my rude welcome," Ophelia
said with a smile.
Wilfred pulled Liliana over and let her sit.
Liliana slowly lowered down her head and felt awkward. She was, indeed, less womanly than Ophelia,
and she felt frustrated because of that.
Ophelia was so decent even when she was ill now. That was what men liked. No wonder Wilfred fell for
her, too.
She was such an excellent woman and overshadowed Liliana all the time.
Seeing Liliana lowering her head in silence, Ophelia smiled and said, "Wilfred, don't blame her too
much, it's not her fault."
Wilfred patted Liliana on the back like an elder brother and said, "Ophelia says she doesn't blame you
for that. Don't you feel anything to say?"
Liliana raised her head and looked at Wilfred for a moment. Then she stood up and bowed deeply.
"Miss Ophelia, thank you for your understanding."
Ophelia felt so embarrassed.
She looked at Zach, seeking help. Zach read the implication in her eye hint quickly and said, "Liliana,
please don't do this. Ophelia said she doesn't blame you. That’s what she really means. You're only
making her feel embarrassed."
Liliana paused and looked at Wilfred subconsciously.
Wilfred waved his hand and said, "Okay, Liliana. Ophelia said she doesn't blame you. Let's forget about
it. And you should promise not to do it again."
Liliana felt quite uncomfortable. Even her voice sounded muffled.
Ophelia put on a thin smile and said, "Wildred, you should stop blaming her, either. I think she did a
good job. It was me who was been too careless. Nobody knew that a car would rush over during the
green light. Liliana is not a superwoman and even if she was standing beside be at that moment, how
could I possibly let her take the hit for me?"
Liliana looked at Ophelia Liliana.
The security company had rules. During the duration of their contract, the bodyguard must protect the
employer’s safety regardless of the cost. After all, their company could make quite a fortune from it.
The employer prioritized everything. If anything happened to the employer within the duration of the
contract, they'll have to return five times what they had charged. They might also face a lawsuit brought
up by the employer, which would cause a great impact on their business reputation.
Therefore, every time they received an order, the bodyguards had to be careful no matter how
capricious the employer was, for fear of any accidents upon the employers.
"Miss Ophelia, thank you for not blaming me. The fault is due to my negligence. I should pay you all the
compensation." said very sincerely.
Ophelia felt a bit weird.
"There's no need, Liliana." Ophelia seemed to be too rich to care about the loss. Moreover, she was
afraid that would make them alienated.
Ophelia looked at Wilfred again. "Wilfred, please stop Liliana. It has already been hard enough for a
little girl like her to make a living on her own. You're been too harsh on her, making us look like bullies."
Wilfred looked at Liliana and said heartily, "Just let her. She has been feeling guilty all the time, she
wouldn't get over it if you don't let her apologize."
Ophelia had no choice but to accept Liliana's apology.
After a while, Wilfred looked at Ophelia and saw that her face was still very pale, and her eyes looked
tired too.
His heart ached and he asked, "Ophelia, are you tired?"
Ophelia shook her head, and said, "I just woke up. I don't feel tired, just sleepy, perhaps due to my
weak immune system,
"Then you should have a good rest. Liliana and I will leave you here so as to let you grab a rest. We'll
come by tomorrow. Anything you want to eat? We can take some here for you." Wilfred said as he
stood up, eyes filled with care and concern.
"Thank you for being here, Wilfred. I'm flattered, really. You don't need to bring me any food. My
mother-in-law will let the help do it." Ophelia replied decently.
Wilfred nodded and glanced at Zach without expression on his face and said, "Fine then. Take a good
rest. We got to go now."
Ophelia looked at Zach and said, "Walk them out for me."
As Zach got up, Wilfred waved his hand and said, "No need. We're just a few steps from the door."
Zach said firmly, "Please."
He walked them to the door. Wilfred looked at him and couldn't help laughing out, "Take good care of
Ophelia. She's a good woman."
"I will, and I do that because she's my wife," Zach said proudly, "Mr. Robinson, on her behalf, I'd like to
thank you for dropping by when she's badly injured."
Zach was thanking her on the surface while declaring his sovereignty diplomatically. He was Ophelia's
man, and Wilfred was just an outsider to them.
Wilfred was no fool. He knew what Zach was implying.
His eyes dimmed, and he said, "Then we shall go now. You can get in."
Zach nodded and said, "Goodbye. We'll invite you over for a dinner party as soon as she recovers."
Wilfred walked away without replying. Liliana trotted over and caught up with him.
Zach stared at their backs for a while, and then he shut the door.
He walked back to the bed and looked down at Ophelia.
