Madeleine poked Ophelia’s forehead and said in exasperation, “Now you admit that you’re such a fool.
I think you are the dumbest women in the world. How could you say that you don’t want the
compensation after your divorce? I am almost driven crazy by your words.”
Ophelia lowered her head, and her hands subconsciously fell onto her belly, saying, “Madeleine, my
period has delayed for ten days. What if I am pregnant? Should I keep the baby or get an abortion?”
Madeleine was surprised at her words and didn’t know how to react.
She looked at her, swallowing saliva out of amaze, and asked tentatively, “Have you tested with a
pregnancy strip?”
Ophelia shook her head.
Hearing this, Madeleine suddenly stood up, “Come on. I will accompany you to buy it and have a
check. You have to confirm whether you are pregnant or not first. If you are pregnant and don’t want
the baby, we can have an abortion. If you wish to keep it, we will keep it. The Chambers is rich, and I
am sure they will be able to support a child.”
Ophelia replied in a hesitating manner, “Madeleine, if there is really a new life in my belly, I want to
keep it. When I got married with Zachariah, we made a deal that he would pay me to be his wife, and I
was to give birth to a child for the Chambers family. However, Cora is back now, and I don’t think he
want a child conceived by another woman.”
Madeleine remained silent and continued after a minute, “Have you really made up your mind?”
Ophelia lost in thought for a while and finally came back to her senses, “Yes. I can never go for an
abortion. My parents left me when I was five eyes old and my grandparents raised my up and
supported me to go to the university. I want to earn more money so that they could live a better life
once I am able to to repay their kindness, but I never got the chance to fulfill that. I love money and
want to save money to spend it on my grandparents, and it’s too late now. Hence, I will never give up
my child. I want to give him a decent life and the best education opportunity. If someone dares to take
my child away from me, I will fight to the last minute of my life.”
Madeleine stood up and pretended as if nothing had happened. Then, he said, “Don’t think too much.
Let’s have lunch first, and we will come up with a solution sooner or later. I will stand by your side no
matter whether you tell Zachariah or not.”
Ophelia smiled and said, “Thank you, Madeleine!”
“We have always been sincere to each other. I can only make money through writing, but that’s enough
to raise you and your baby. Don’t worry. You are just going back to your old days. The only difference is
that you are carrying a baby with you.”
Madeleine tried to comfort her. However, Ophelia knew she would always be on her side to help her, no
matter what decision she made.
Although they were not sisters by blood, they were best friend to each other’s and their friendship could
not be measured by money.
