Madeleine was shocked, then she tried to make sure, “Sweetie, what did you say?”
“Cora had a miscarriage.” Ophelia repeated.
Madeleine then said excitedly, “What a good thing! She deserved it. It must be that God was punishing her for being a home wrecker.”
Finding Ophelia in a down mood, she said, “Sweetie, are you unhappy for Zachariah to take care of Cora?”
Ophelia shook head.
After a long while, she said with bitterness, “Cora had an abortion, I am afraid that Zachariah will have a divorce from me.”
“What?” Madeleine was startled. Generally, a home wrecker had a miscarriage deliberately, and the home wrecker took advantage of this to make a gap between the wife and the husband.
So Cora was playing such a trick?
Thinking so, Madeleine was furious very much, “Sweetie, you tell me the truth, she was trying to frame you for miscarrying her baby?”
Ophelia glanced at her with peculiarity. She said, “Madeleine, the truth is not like you think it.”
Ophelia told the whole story to Madeleine.
Madeleine felt excited, “So no one was willing to give her a hand. I, as a novelist, can hardly make up such a plot. I doubt that she miscarried the baby on purpose.”
Madeleine softened, taking her into her arms carefully. Petting on her back, Madeleine said, “Stop crying. You are pregnant now, and the doctor said that being so emotional is harmful to your baby. At the beginning of your marriage, I knew clearly that Zachariah is not your Mr. Right, so it’s reasonable that you depart each other.”
In Madeleine’s arms, Ophelia cried for a timeless time, and then she choked, “Madeleine, am I very spineless? But I am still so sad.”
She hiccoughed and continued, “I know that Zachariah doesn’t love me, but I love him. I am haunted by why he cannot fall in love with me just as I do. Every one said that I am completely a gold digger. I tried so hard to be a good Mrs. Chambers. I go to learn courtesy, to learn the four major arts, and I can even read the staff now. However, no one sees what I have done, and even the Chambers family thought that I am not a match to Zachariah. Why? Why they always try to isolate me? Madeleine, I am so tired of being Mrs. Chambers.”
Madeleine felt so sorry for Ophelia.
“Silly girl, you are good. You don’t have to change yourself to please others.”
