Chapter 161 Who Said We Were Getting A Divorce
On the other hand, Zachariah got in his car and drove to the hospital after leaving the restaurant. When he arrived outside Ophelia's ward, there was a burst of laughter from inside. Through the glass window, he could see Madeleine dancing to make Ophelia, who’s in the hospital bed laugh, while Mrs. Chambers sat on the side peeling oranges and occasionally laughing with them.
Looking at Ophelia, who looked so much better than yesterday on the hospital bed, his heart was relieved for no reason. Last night, she faint in Madeleine's arms, it would definitely be a lie if he said he wasn't anxious. Even at that moment, what he was thinking was that as long as she and the baby were okay, he would be able to tolerate the fact that she had been with another man in the so-called indecent photos.
He watched Ophelia with fascination who was smiling very happily on the hospital bed, even he didn't notice that the corners of his lips were slightly turned upwards and his mood looked very good.
He didn’t know how long he had been watching outside, and he was supposed to leave after watching for a long while, but he didn't expect his cell phone to ring at the wrong time. He took it out to see that it was his mother’s calling, and then the door was opened from the inside in the next second.
Mrs. Chambers stood by the door and said, “Zachariah, why didn’t you come in? Ophelia has been waiting for you all day, come on in.”
Zachariah felt embarrassed like being caught in the act, but it was hard to notice since his expression was grim.
“Mom.”
“Come on in, what are you doing standing outside like a stone?” Mrs. Chambers pulled him in and said with a smile, “Ophelia, look who's come to see you?”
Zachariah and Ophelia were a bit embarrassed instead. Last night's photo incident completely intensified the conflict between the two, and the intimacy between the husband and wife who originally looked better than anyone was nowhere to find, replaced by a trace of unfamiliarity.
The smile on Madeleine’s face faded a little bit the moment Zachariah came in, she picked up her bag and said, “Mrs. Chambers, I’m on a deadline so I have to go back now. I’m going to leave Ophelia to you, just call me if you got other stuff to do.”
Mrs. Chambers smiled and said, “You've been taking care of Ophelia for a whole day. When Ophelia is discharged from the hospital, you come to my place and I will personally prepare a table of sumptuous meal for you.”
Madeleine responded with a smile, “You don’t have to do that, Ophelia is my best friend who grew up with me, so it's my duty to take care of her. Mrs. Chambers, see you.”
Mrs. Chambers nodded. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Madeleine looked at Ophelia, “Sweetie, call me if you need me, don't do this alone, it's not good for your health, got it?”
Ophelia answered, “Got it, be careful on the road, and call me after you get back.”
Madeleine made an "OK" gesture, then left without even taking a look at Zachariah.
Mrs. Chambers said, “Zachariah, don’t stand there like a log. Ophelia has been in the hospital for a day, and you, her husband, came so late. If I were her, I would have scolded you. Come and apologize to her, don't make her unhappy!”
Zachariah looked at Ophelia, but Ophelia subconsciously avoided his eyes. She then said, “Mom, you’ve been taken care of me all afternoon and you must be tired. Go back to have some rest, the
caregiver here can watch me.”
Mrs. Chambers said sagely, “I’m gonna go back and prepare dinner for you. I’ll be back at ten. Zachariah, Ophelia is pregnant now, you take good care of her. If anything happens to her, I will not forgive you.”
Zachariah nodded.
Mrs. Chambers looked at Ophelia and said, “Ophelia, don't think too much about the photos, Mom will take care of it. Your priority now is to take care of yourself and don’t let anything happen to the baby. It’s just a few photos, the Chambers family can handle it.”
Ophelia said sincerely, “Mom, thank you!”
Mrs. Chambers patted her head lovingly and said, “Have a good rest and don’t be paranoia. I'll come back at 10 o'clock.”
“Mom, safe drive, okay?”
After Mrs. Chambers left, Ophelia and Zachariah didn’t know what to say to each other, and for a while, the air in the ward became stagnant.
Zachariah coughed twice and said, “Are you feeling better?”
Ophelia looked at Zachariah and suddenly said seriously, “Mr. Chambers, I’m sorry, but I really don't know what's going on with the photos, but I can explain. There’s nothing between me and Tassach, we’re just friends.”
Zachariah’s face became a bit gloomy, “I've taken care of the photos, don't worry. But be careful not to be followed again. I don't like to wipe your ass over and over again.”
Ophelia looked at Zachariah with a very complicated gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said with some difficulty, “Mr. Chambers, when are we getting divorced?”
At these words, Zachariah's gaze became sharp all of a sudden, and said, “What, you can't forget your new lover?”
Ophelia sighed and said, “Mr. Chambers, for sake of my current situation, can we talk properly? I know it's my fault to be photographed like that, but I really didn't mean to. I hope you won’t doubt the child in my belly even if we divorce. He is your child, I do not want him to become a bastard and be criticized. After he is born, I allow you to take him to do the paternity test, but then there is no point. Once you do that, then our almost five years of relationship will become a joke.”
Zachariah's expression slowly eased and he said, “Who said we were getting a divorce?”
Ophelia looked at him in surprise.
The corners of Zachariah's mouth turned upward slightly and said, “I told you, only I got the right to say game over. As for you, just flow with it. I don't want you to have an affair with your boss in the name of work, no man can allow his wife to cuckold on him.”
Ophelia fell silent.
“What? Are you gonna say no to me?”
