Ted explained calmly, “There will always have some defiant people who would wander around. It is not
convenient for the boss to take action. It would naturally fall on us, his bodyguards, to deal with them.”
Ophelia slowly kept the surprise on her face when she saw how calm he was. She believed that with an
organization as big as the Chamber’s Group, many operations would not be as simple as they seemed.
Many things were done behind the curtains. Killing of others had crossed her mind before. After all,
there are a lot of things that are out of our control that necessary for the survival in the society.
Ted glanced at Ophelia, thought for a while, and asked, “Did that scare you?”
Ophelia nodded, smiled, and said, “A little, I’m surprised that you will tell me such information.”
“I have been ordered to protect you. I would naturally be loyal to you. I am able to let you know
whatever you want. Of course, if you don’t wish to hear such bloody matters, I will keep quiet.” Ted kept
a serious expression, and it made her believe that everything he said was true.
Ophelia suddenly felt that the man was rigid in the ways of people. Such a person is very loyal, yet at
the same time, he would be inflexible in handling matters. However, there is one advantage. That is, he
would never betray his employer.
She believed that Zachariah had sent him to protect her and had taken the liking that he wouldn’t
betray them.
Ophelia changed the subject, “Have you eaten?”
Ted nodded.
“The helper brought my meal up for me to eat earlier.”
Ophelia glanced at Tommy, who was sleeping sweetly and said, “I can take care of Tommy. You can go
out and for a stretch. It’s not easy for a man like you to look after a child all day. When he gets older,
you can return to Zachariah's side. It’s a bit wasted if you to stay by my side.”
Ted did not answer. Instead, he walked to the window, and turned around, and said, “Madam, do call
me if there’s anything and I will be shadowing around you.” After he spoke, he climbed out of the
window and quickly disappeared from Ophelia’s vision.
Ophelia was initially surprised that Ted came and left so stealthily, but after Ted did that a couple of
times, she had slowly gotten used to it.
Ophelia squatted beside the crib and looked attentively at Tommy, who was still dreaming in his sleep,
and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
She stretched out her hand and touched Tommy’s little face. Her eyes went dim, and whispered,
“Tommy, Mommy may go blind. If possible, Mommy would really want to watch over you for the rest of
your life. To watch you grow up and have a girlfriend, get married, and have children, and Mommy will
help you with your children. I will hear your children affectionately calling me ‘Grandma’. Mommy is
afraid that you will not be able to wait for that day. I am afraid that I will become a burden to you before
you even grow up. Mommy was just telling myself... ‘Ophelia, you are the best. You have gone past the
gates of hell, there’s nothing scary, but...’”
Ophelia’s eyes became teary. She found that she was not as strong as she had thought. Her heart was
actually very fragile, but she had never had a shoulder to rely on, so she forced herself to grow and
become strong. Slowly, she became what outsiders saw as indestructible.
“Tommy... Mommy is afraid that she would one day wake up blind and she won’t be able to see you.
She won’t be able to see your lovely face or your fathers. She’s afraid that after a long time, she won’t
even remember how you and your father would look like. What should Mommy do?”
Ophelia cried out. She had been suppressed too much. Savannah had been putting pressure on her
while the Chambers family deliberately had indulged in her actions. On top of so, she had to deal with
the risk of going blind. They all came crashing down on her that led her to felt breathless.
Zachariah was her pillar of support, yet she didn’t dare to let him know that she could go blind. She
didn’t want him to see her become worthless as she would be extremely embarrassed.
Ophelia sat down and leaned her head gently against the crib. It was probably due to Tommy’s
presence that she wasn’t as fearful as before.
“Tommy, what do you think your Daddy doing now? If he knew that Mommy would go blind, would he
still love Mommy?” Ophelia asked softly, but after asking, she felt that she was being very naive.
She laughed out loud, and whispered, “Tommy, do you think Mommy is particularly naive? Mommy
thinks so too. If your Daddy sees me like this, I’m afraid he will say that mommy is being sentimental
again. She is not as tough and strong as before. I am afraid that would say that he was really wrong
and thought that I was a sexy, enthusiastic, and independent woman.”
She smiled as she spoke, but she suddenly became sad and shed tears. She only dared to display her
fragility in front of Tommy, who didn’t understand the situation. In front of outsiders, she has still
portrayed the indestructible sexy woman.
Ophelia wiped away the tears on her face. She felt that her current affections could not even be
tolerated by herself.
Ophelia’s sadness came and dissipated quickly. She quickly calmed down. She smiled at Tommy and
said, “Tommy, you will grow up soon. Even if Mommy really becomes blind in the future, you and your
daddy will become mommy’s eyes. You can help me look at the landscapes in the world and describe
to me its charming scenery. After chatting for so long, I don’t know if your daddy’s project is done with
its negotiations?”
Zachariah, who was mentioned by Ophelia, was sitting on a sofa at this moment. He looked
indifferently at Savannah, who was held by two bodyguards.
There was blood streaming from the corners of Savannah’s mouth, she looked at Zachariah in horror,
and asked with difficulty, “Brother, did I do something wrong?”
Zachariah looked at her without a hint of emotion, and said, “I will teach you a lesson for not
comprehending the warnings given to you and plotting against Ophelia. She is my wife. I have the final
say on her. Why didn’t you continue to be the princess yet use these shoddy methods? So, an eye for
an eye and I’ll let you learn from this lesson. Don’t think of targeting her.”
“Brother, I am your only sister. You used to feel bad when my finger got cut. Now, you’re beating me up
for a woman every now and then, putting me in such a crude situation. If our parents knew about it, do
you think they would be happy?” Although Savannah was scared, she also hated it. She had done so
much for the good of the Chamber’s family. She couldn’t think of the good of Ophelia, which made so
many people repeatedly defend her.
“I warned you not to touch her. Yet, you still went ahead to plot a car accident to harm her. I will not
harm you in respect of our parents, but it does not mean that I forgive you. It was wrong of you to
provoke her and repeatedly mess with my bottom line. You should be glad that you are my sister,
otherwise, you will just be a corpse.” Zachariah spoke indifferently, but to Savannah who was listening,
it made her hair stand.
