Ophelia’s heart thumped, but she still pretended that everything was alright and said, “You think something’s wrong with my eyes?"
Zachariah stared at her, shook his head and said, “Nah. I'm just afraid you're hiding something from me.”
Ophelia leaned over, kissed his lips and said with a smile, “Don't overthink it. I'm really fine. I just didn’t pay attention to the water on the floor. I'll be careful next time.”
Zachariah kissed her even harder.
The two were unable to separate their lips. Just when they were about to have sex, Zachariah let go of her, buried his head in her neck, panting, and said reluctantly, "I really want to make out with you, but your body is not fully recovered.”
Hearing this, Ophelia was about to cry. She was quite emotional today. The fact that she might be blind and Zachariah was so loving to her made her burst into tears.
Zachariah didn’t think Ophelia would cry. He wiped her tears, frowned, and said, “what's wrong? Did someone bully you?”
Ophelia threw herself into his arms, put her hands around his neck and cried silently.
Zachariah wanted to see her face, but Ophelia wouldn’t let him and said, “Just give me a hug.”
Ophelia had been concerned all day that she may be blind. Her fear of facing the darkness alone was unstoppable.
She had just survived from a car accident, and now was involved in another disaster.
Hearing Ophelia crying depressingly, Zachariah felt his heart broke.
When Ophelia stopped crying, he stared at her, and said seriously, “Tell me. Don't lie to me, or I'll ask someone to investigate.”
Ophelia shook her head and said, “Nothing. I just feel that you are so kind to me that I cry with joy.”
Even a three-year-old won’t believe this, let alone a smart guy like Zachariah.
“You know we are now husband and wife. The most important thing between us is honesty.” Zachariah said very seriously, “We still have a lifetime to go. Do you want us to live in doubt?”
Ophelia shook her head and said with a smile, “I'm really fine. I just don't know why I’ve become so sentimental since the car accident. Am I annoying?”
Zachariah bit her lips gently. He knew she was lying, but he couldn't bear to force her again.
“You want to take a bath, right?” he changed the topic.
Ophelia nodded.
Looking at the bathroom door, Ophelia sighed.
She and Zachariah had been married for five years, but they were really together for only two months. She knew they were getting closer and closer. She really thought they would live happily ever after, but God made a joke on her. When she was really blind, she didn't know if she could still be with Zachariah as if nothing had happened. She didn't know if he would think she was a burden for him.
Once she was blind, she would need help with everything, from eating, going to the bathroom, bathing to changing clothes. Physically, she was a total wreck. She was too proud to become one of the disabled.
What Ophelia feared the most was that if she was blind, the gap between her and Zachariah will become wider and wider. In the end, Zachariah was still charming and sought-after, while she was nothing but beautiful. The Chambers family won’t tolerate a blind Young Madam.
Just when Ophelia was lost in thought, Zachariah showed up. She didn't notice his approach at all. Zachariah caught the expression on her face.
He frowned imperceptibly.
Ophelia stopped thinking and said with a smile, “Done?”
Zachariah nodded, get on bed, cuddled Ophelia and said, “Let’s sleep. You must be tired.”
Ophelia gently leaned in his arms. She was really tired today physically and mentally.
Zachariah’s hug was so warm that she fell asleep at once.
