Ophelia’s surgery went on until 2pm in the midnight. However, the light above the operation room was
still on. The heaviness in the air was getting tenser and tenser. No one spoke and all of them remained
silence.
Suddenly, the door opened with two nurses hurriedly rushing out. Everyone sensed something was
going wrong. Mrs. Chambers came forward fearfully and nervously.
“Nurse, how’s my daughter?”
The two nurses hurriedly replied, “She has delivered healthy baby boy, but the patient is in a great
danger after losing too much blood. Who have the blood type O? We need blood transfusion.”
Mrs. Chambers and Madeleine raised up their hands at the same time and said in unison, “I am.”
“Follow me.”
Mrs. Chambers and Madeleine quickly kept up. Out of worry, Zachariah and Mr. Chambers also
followed them.
The two nurses gave them physical exams. It turned out Mrs. Chambers was not suitable because of
heart problem, while Madeleine was in a good health and could donate blood.
Not fearful at all, Madeleine said firmly, “Never mind, take my blood as much as you need. As long as I
can save Ophelia, I am willing to donate even half of my blood. I always have a good body and can
make up by having more nutritious food.”
Two nurses were teased by her words and the atmosphere finally eased up.
Due to Madeleine’s strong urge, the nurse drew more blood than normal procedure. After it was done,
Madeleine showed a pale face and her hands went extremely cold. Mrs. Chambers embraced her
tightly in her arms and felt painful about her.
“Madeleine, are you alright?”
Shaking her head, Madeleine replied powerlessly, “I am fine. I will be alright after a little rest. I don’t
mind drawing more blood as long as Ophelia can get well.”
Mrs. Chambers supported her to the seat outside, then she turned around and remarked towards
Zachariah, “Zach, go to buy something warm for her. She has just lost lots of blood and is weak now.”
Zachariah nodded and left quickly.
Mrs. Chambers grabbed Madeleine’s hand and thanked her gratefully, “Madeleine, thank you so much
for today. You are not only Ophelia’s saviour, but also saviour for the whole Chambers family. Tell me if
you need any help in the future. I will do my best to help you.”
Madeleine smiled, “Aunt, never mind, Ophelia is my friend and I have known her for many years. I
would even donate her with one kidney if needed. Our friendship is beyond others’ understanding.”
Mrs. Chambers started admiring Madeleine by her sincere words.
She suddenly suggested, “How about I recognize you as my god-daughter?”
Madeleine opened her eyes widely and stared at her in an unbelievable expression.
Mrs. Chambers smiled and was about to say something when two nurses brought the baby out, who
was wrapped tightly in a blanket. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, along with Madeleine, immediately ran
towards them. Mrs. Chambers’ eyes suddenly turned sore when seeing the baby, who was still sticky
after just came out from his mother’s body. She trembled her lips in excitement.
She finally said a complete sentence after several times of trembling lips, “Is this my grandson?”
The two nurses nodded and replied, “Madam, we will take the little baby to clean up. You can visit him
in the baby’s room. He’s the bravest boy I have ever seen. Although he just had a car crash, nothing
serious happened to him after birth. It is a lucky thing.”
Mr. Chambers, Mrs. Chambers and Madeleine’s nerves all loosened up. All they wished now was that
Ophelia could also survive and be out of danger.
Mrs. Chambers remarked, “Darling, how about you wait with Madeleine here? I will go to check the
baby.”
Mr. Chambers nodded.
Mrs. Chambers went to the baby’s room. There were only Madeleine and Mr. Chambers left in front of
the operation room. Both of them remained silence.
Mr. Chambers seemed to be a gentleman. Although he was already in his sixtieth, because he was
good at keeping fit, he seemed to be a middle-aged man and looked charming.
Madeleine would have a good impression on him if Ophelia was having a good time in the Chambers
family as it seemed. Therefore, she was scared of the gentleman in front of her, even he seemed to be
approachable and kind.
Mr. Chambers cleared his throat and asked like a caring elder man, “Can I call you Madeleine?”
A flash of surprise passed over Madeleine’s eyes, but she still replied in a polite manner, “Of course.”
Mr. Chambers pointed at the bench in the corridor, saying, “You look really pale. How about sitting
down to have a rest?”
Madeleine got more surprised. She never expected Mr. Chambers, who was known in the business
world as a merciless man, could talk with her kindly.
She felt a bit flattered.
“Well…yes.”
Mr. Chambers continued saying, “Madeleine, thank you so much for today. Helena wants to recognize
you as her god-daughter. We are going to throw a party when Ophelia fully recovers. We will invite all
our good friends in the business world and introduce you to them. I have heard that you’re a freelancer.
I happen to know several directors from some publishing companies. I can introduce you with a
trustable agent and make you a first-class writer.”
Madeleine was completely astonished by his words. She never expects that Mr. Chambers would have
the intension to take her up. He can be counted as the most powerful boss in the business world. It will
save her lots of energy to work hard with his promotion. It is a chance many people are dreaming of.
How could such a valuable chance happen to her?”
However, she was not blinded by this great surprise.
She replied calmly, “Uncle, thank you for your care, but I suppose I don’t need your help. I am just an
ordinary person. I am satisfied with writing and waiting for publication to earn money to support myself.
As for recognizing me as the god-daughter, I think that’s just aunt’s random words, you don’t have to
take it seriously.”
