James was a little frustrated. He was handsome, so he had never been refused by any girls.
"Madeleine, would you mind if I call your name? At least I saved you in the car accident. Now I saved your good friend, too. Why did you repay your savior like that?"
Madeleine leaned comfortably on the co-pilot seat and casually said, "I'm really sorry. I'm naturally insensitive to foreigners, so I really can't appreciate you, my lifesaver."
James shrugged and did not understand, "Why?"
Madeleine said, "No reason. We just have different ideas. You are too open and I am a traditional girl, so I don't think we have a common topic."
"No. No. Girl, I think you have a big misunderstanding about foreigners. Although foreign men are open, we are absolute gentlemen, and we can't do anything to bully others. Besides, as the old saying goes, though born a thousand miles apart, souls which are one shall meet. Fate could break the national boundaries."
Hearing that, Madeleine could not help but thought James was good at their culture like a native person.
Madeleine thought better of him and continue to talk to him, "James, how long have you been studying English? You speak English fluently and knew many English old sayings. "
James deliberately showed off, "Do you fall in love with me?"
Madeleine rolled her eyes and said, "You can only attract those ignorant girls."
James laughed and said, "You really are a different girl, so hot and spicy. Ordinary men can’t attract you."
"So I don't want ordinary men. They are too normal."
James gave her a thumbs up and said, "You and Ophelia are actually quite similar in character. You are different in terms of appearance, but you two talk in the same way. No wonder you can become good friends. I remembered an old saying - Birds of a feather block together."
Madeleine felt speechless.
Block together?
He was so funny
"It’s ‘birds of a feather flock together. Don't use idioms indiscriminately if don’t understand them. You still don’t realize that you make a joke." Madeleine laughed and explained.
"Thanks for reminding me."
Madeleine become totally relaxed, said more softly, "James, I think you are quite a gentleman. When did you know Zachariah? What kind of person do you think Zachariah is? Is he a playboy?"
James glanced at her and said, "Are you going to investigate his love history?"
Madeleine snapped her finger and said directly, "I’m just asking for some information."
"I'm a little sleepy. Wake me up when we get there."
James felt funny, "Lady, I am a foreigner, and I don't know the way to your home."
Madeleine patted herself on the head and apologized, "I'm sorry, you can speak English so fluently that I’ve regarded you as a native guy unconsciously."
They talked and laughed along the way, and did not feel embarrassed as they had imagined before.
In the hospital, Zachariah entered the intensive care unit with the permission of the nurse. He quietly looked at Ophelia who was sleeping in the hospital bed. Perhaps because he got relieved while staying with Ophelia, he also fell asleep.
When he woke up, he saw Ophelia's fingers moving. He thought it was his illusion because he had just woken up and was dizzy. He raised his hand stupidly to rub his eyes. Ophelia's fingers were still moving. At that moment, he froze and his chest was filled up with emotion in an instant. He felt excited and speechless and did not believe that it was true.
Zachariah froze for a minute before he remembered to call the doctor. The doctor came and carefully checked Ophelia. After the check, all the doctors present showed a knowing smile.
"Mr. Chambers, the vital signs of Young Mister gradually becomes normal, and she can be moved to a separate ward in a while. She would wake up so quickly. It was such a medical miracle." Dr. Dixon said happily and sincerely.
Zachariah felt that nothing can describe his mood at the moment.
He grabbed Dr. Dixon's hand and said, "Is she all right?"
