“Give me a reason. Will you divorce with me if Cora is discharged? Then tell me what exactly you are thinking. Don’t make me worried every day. It’s really miserable for me to be in an abandoned state.”
Zachariah simply looked at her without saying anything.
Ophelia’s ears gradually burned hot after being stared for a while.
She blinked her eyes and lipped her dry lip, asking when lowering her head, “Mr. Chambers, I don’t want to quarrel with you in the hospital. Can you at least give me a sign if you want to divorce with me in the future?”
Zachariah looked at her with a complex mind. After a long time, he finally asked, “Are you in love with me?”
Ophelia felt her heart was struck. She raised up her head and looked at him, saying, “If I say I am in love with you, will you directly ask me to stop thinking in that way?”
Zachariah didn’t respond her, but touched her face, saying, “Don’t overthink. Let’s go to have lunch. It has been two or three days since we have meals with each other. How is the baby? Is he naught?”
Ophelia’s eyes suddenly turned red and her voice was full of grievance, murmuring, “You still remember that I am carrying with your child.”
Zachariah didn’t know what to say. His phone suddenly rang at this point. Both Ophelia and Zachariah were startled. Ophelia tried to remain calm and said, “Mr. Chambers, I guess it is from Miss Fletcher. She really cares about you. You have just left her for a short time. I can’t tell she’s a playful girl, but it seems she really loves you profoundly. I am ashamed when comparing with her even I am already your wife.”
Zachariah’s face darkened, but he still picked up the phone, saying, “Hello?”
Cora’s voice came from the other side, “Where are you, Zach? Why taking the drug will cost such a long time?”
Zachariah got impatient, saying, “Cora, I will be right back. Don’t worry.”
“Zach, are you returning home?”
Zachariah still tried to be patient and said, “Nothing. I just met an acquaintance and we had a chat for a while. Don’t think too much.”
However, as if the acquaintance Zachariah mentioned was an enemy, Cora asked anxiously, “Man or woman? Zach, which floor are you in? I also want to meet your friend.”
He put the phone into his pocket and turned to look at Ophelia, while she also looked back. Ophelia said, “Is it hard to look after Miss Fletcher?”
Zachariah rubbed his head and replied, “It’s hard to guess what a woman is thinking. She used to be innocent. Despite sometimes she could be annoying, she was still considerate to others.” What he meant was that Cora was being too wilful to put up with.
Ophelia said, “Mr. Chambers, have you ever considered that four or five years are enough to change a person?”
Zachariah compressed his lips and seemed to be absorbed in thought.
Ophelia continued, “Mr. Chambers, I didn’t mean to provoke your relation, but do you really think she is the one you love after being apart for four or five years?”
Zachariah looked at her and then raised up his hand to touch her face, saying, “Are you worried about your husband?”
Ophelia felt disappointed and said, “Mr. Chambers, you’d better leave now. It’s not a good thing if Miss Fletcher gets too anxious and comes to find us. Besides, the Conduibh family is still waiting outside the operating room.”
