Chapter 337 Accident
Mrs. Chambers laughed because of anger and remarked, “Son, the Fletcher family has already asked us to take responsibility. Are you going to deal with it by yourself?”
Zachariah nodded.
“Zach, mom trusts your ability in terms of running business, but you really have hurt both of the two women’s hearts indirectly because of your sway in love. I am disapproval of your attitude on this point.”
Mrs. Chambers waited for a while and continued saying, “The first reason I want you to set off to America is to get rid of the Fletcher family’s entanglement. The second reason is because of Ophelia’s safety. She’s carrying a child now and the Fletcher family is powerful. I know Mrs. Fletcher very well. As long as Ophelia stays in this country, we can’t guarantee her safety. Therefore, it is the best choice for you to leave.”
Zachariah picked up the teacup, raised his head and finished all tea. Then he put down the cup heavily.
Mr. Chambers looked at him and remarked calmly, “Zach, listen to what your mother has said. Just go to America with Ophelia. We will visit you after the baby is born.”
Zachariah folded his hands on the thigh and showed a serious look, seeming to be thinking about something.
Waited for almost two minutes, he finally replied, “Mom, dad, I will not go to the America. No matter how me and Cora end up, it is true that she tried to kill herself because of me. I can’t go abroad at this point. I am not a coward and I suppose you don’t want your son to be irresponsible.”
Mr. Chambers and Mrs. Chambers looked at each other. Finally, Mr. Chambers asked, “Are you really not planning to go to America?”
Zachariah shook his head.
Mrs. Chambers sighed and remarked, “Zach, I don’t care what is your attitude towards Cora. You should remember Ophelia is your wife and she is carrying your child. If something really happens to her, I will not recognize you as my son. I respect you that you refuse to go to America, but the precondition is that she and her baby must be safe. I have been hoping to have a grandson for years.”
Zachariah frowned.
He remained silence for a while and replied, “Mom, I will protect Ophelia.”
Mrs. Chambers sighed again. She then stood up and remarked seriously, “Zach, I am really disappointed at you for what happened in recent couple of months. I never expected that you would cheat and sway between two women. No matter what the consequence was, one of them must get hurt. You are extremely irresponsible towards marriage. I have always been proud of you, but I am really disappointed at you on the cheating thing. Think for yourself.”
Mrs. Chambers went upstairs after saying this.
There were only Mr. Chambers and Zachariah left in the hall.
Mr. Chambers stood up, went in front of his son and petted his shoulder, saying, “Zach, it’s our family rule that men in our family will not let his wife down. You’re an exception who goes against this rule. Don’t blame your mother for saying harsh words. You really go too far this time.
Zachariah compressed his lips and replied in a low voice after a long time, “Dad, I am sorry.”
“Zach, you shouldn’t say sorry to me. Think for yourself. No matter whom you choose at last, you must try not to let the other down. The Chambers family and the Fletcher family have a friendship for years. Don’t let it get ruined because of you.”
Zachariah slightly nodded.
Mr. Chambers petted his shoulder again and remarked, “I can tell you’re also getting through a hard time. You can leave now.”
Zachariah stood up and said in a low voice, “I will go back now, dad.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
After Zachariah left the hall, he got on the car and tidied his hair. A long time later, he finally started driving.
However, he received a call in the halfway. When the call was over, he turned the stirring wheel as if he had gone mad. The car drove away as if an arrow that set out from the bow. He ran several red lights along the way, which made several policemen followed his car behind.
Regardless of everything, Zachariah drove the car in an extremely high speed. Instead of a normal one-hour journey, he arrived at the people's hospital in downtown within twenty minutes.
Then he ran his way to the sixth floor and came in front of the surgery room. He grabbed Madeleine, who seemed to be in a trance at once, asking anxiously, “What happened to Ophelia? Why would she suddenly have a car accident? Wasn’t she fine in the morning?”
Madeleine looked at Zachariah’s anxious face in a trance. Both her arms and legs went cold. Her lips trembled and couldn’t make any sound.
Zachariah’s eyes were terribly dark. He growled, “What happened to Ophelia? Tell me! Are you dumb?”
Madeleine swallowed and seemed to return to sober. She explained, “Ophelia wanted to pick some clothes for you and the baby and called me to go shopping with her in the centre. We are going to cross the traffic light when a car suddenly drove towards us. I was in the front and she was behind me. She pushed me subconsciously when the car was about to hit us and then…she bled a lot and lied on the road lifelessly like a doll.”
Madeleine became helpless and anxious when recalling the scene. She grabbed Zachariah’s hands tightly and said, “Zachariah, do you think Ophelia will, she will…”
