Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 277 I Was Wrong

Zachariah then stopped and listened.

“Mrs. Gwylan, go ahead.”

Mrs. Gwylan said, “Zachariah, don’t blame Cora. She didn’t mean to say what she just said and she totally means no harm, really. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I started it, she is just following what I said.”

Zachariah sneered and said, “Mrs. Gwylan, I’m not a three-year-old.”

Mrs. Gwylan snapped out of it. That’s right, Zachariah was a business genius who had been praised by business experts, and those who can be praised by business experts were definitely not stupid. He liked Cora so he was willing to spoil her, and he was not willing to suspect her even if there were traces. But now that he heard her say so himself, then the previous doubts would slowly emerge. If he intended to investigate, there was nothing that cannot be found.

Cora panicked, she was a bit incoherent, and said, “Zach, I am just envious and jealous that Ophelia can stand by your side and have your child. I’m your girlfriend, why should she get all the benefits? I was just very uncomfortable and that's why I did so many radical things. Trust me, I really didn't mean to hurt her.”

Zachariah sighed and said in a low voice, “Cora, you disappointed me. You left me in the first place, otherwise, we would not have come to this point.”

Cora knelt directly in front of Zachariah and said with tears, “Zach, I was wrong, totally…”Before she finished, her eyes closed and she simply passed out.

“Cora, are you okay? Doctor, doctor!” Mrs. Gwylan’s grieved shout resounded throughout the ward.

Soon, Cora was wheeled into the operating room.

Mrs. Gwylan's face was full of anxiety and exhaustion as she walked around in front of the operating room with her fists clenched, and finally, she settled her complex gaze on Zachariah.

With a weary sigh, she said, “Cora has been sent in the operating room three times. My daughter is spoiled by us, so she is inevitably a bit arrogant. Sometimes, she says things without thinking, but we all can see that she means no harm. She was just joking, can't you forgive her once? Do you have to force her to death?”

Zachariah's face was gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mrs. Gwylan looked at him supplicatingly and said, “Zachariah, I watched you grow up, don't be so cruel to her, she did everything just because she loves you. She almost has everything - looks, money, intelligence, but got into this mess for you. She wanted to get rid of the child in Ophelia's belly because she is restless. She had a hard time having your child but miscarried, of course, she was uncomfortable, so she came up with such an irrational and bad idea.”

Zachariah just kept his poker face.

Mrs. Gwylan also had a bit of panic. It’s so hard to guess Zachariah's thought, and she sometimes feared him, who was much younger than her, from the bottom of her heart.

“Zachariah, do you want me to get down on my knees and beg you before you will forgive her?” Mrs. Gwylan said aggressively.

Zachariah looked directly at Mrs. Gwylan and said, “Mrs. Gwylan, it's not a matter of whether I forgive Cora or not, but I need to think about whether she's the woman I want to spend my life with. You’ve been through a lot more than I have, you should know better what men want is just a simple but not stupid woman. I suppose no man is able to accept a woman who is clever but full of dirty tricks.”

Mrs. Gwylan fell silent.

Zachariah took one more look at the operating room and said, “I have to go, but you can call me when Cora wakes up.”

Mrs. Gwylan looked at him in surprise.

Zachariah just nodded at her, then turned around and walked away.

After a moment of absence, Mrs. Gwylan immediately rushed up in spite of her manner and grabbed Zachariah's hand, saying, “Don’t go, Zachariah. I don't know what will happen when she wakes up and doesn't see you.”

Zachariah got a little annoyed.

“Mrs. Gwylan, do you think I can still stay here after hearing you discuss how to get rid of the child in my wife's belly?”

Mrs. Gwylan paused for a moment.

Zachariah flung her hand away straight away and was about to leave when she pounced on him like a madwoman again, she pleaded, “I’m like your godmother, don’t do this to Cora. She is not yet fully recovered, your leaving is definitely a fatal blow to her, don't do this.”

Zachariah stopped and said coldly, “I need to calm down, what you’re doing now is not helping Cora.”

Mrs. Gwylan said with some excitement, “I don't care, I just want my daughter to be fine. Well, she is a bit capricious, but her love for you is undeniable. For sake of that, can’t you forgive her once? Besides, she was just saying that she didn't do any substantial harm to Ophelia.”

Zachariah laughed because of extreme anger.

He said coldly, “You mean I have to wait for Ophelia's miscarriage before I can hold Cora accountable?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Mrs. Gwylan lost her tongue for a while.
