The surgery was finally over in around 4pm. The light in the operation room closed. With the door
opening, a group of doctors came out with exhausted look, Zachariah was the first one to came
forward.
“Mr. Kenelm, how’s Ophelia?” Zachariah asked. Ophelia was heavily injured in this time’s car crash. Mr.
Kenelm, as the director of the hospital, went to the operation in person.
Mr. Kenelm showed a terrible expression and shook his head heavily, saying, “Ophelia is illy-injured. It
is already a miracle for the baby to survive. We have tried our best but she is still in great danger. If she
can’t weak up in 48 hours, maybe she will be in a vegetable state, maybe she will…”
Mr. Kenelm didn’t finish the complete sentence, but all people present could guess what was his
incomplete word. He was referring that Ophelia had the possibility to pass away, which was the hardest
thing for human beings to face.
A mix of feelings were shown on Zachariah’s face. He thought the blood in his body was gradually
cooled up.
“Mr. Kenelm, you must be joking. Ophelia is always in a good health. How could she become a
vegetable?” Zachariah pulled up his mouth, showing a very terrible looking smile.
Mrs. Chambers tried hard to restrain her tears. She grabbed Mr. Kenelm’s hands and choked, “Mr.
Kenelm, we have been friends for many years and Ophelia can be regarded as half your daughter. You
must save her. You can’t let the baby lose his mother right after he was born.”
Mr. Kenelm also showed a terrible expression and replied, “Helena, I have already tried the best as I
could. It really depends on whether Ophelia will make it or not.”
Mrs. Chambers staggered. Finally, she couldn’t stand such stimulation. She passed out and fell in Mr.
Chambers’ arms.
Mr. Kenelm gave her a quick check and told Mr. Chambers, “You’d better bring Helena to the ward to
have a rest. Her emotion fluctuates violently and has caused some damage on her heart.”
Mr. Chambers lifted his wife in the arms and remarked, “Mr. Kenelm, please try hard to save Ophelia no
matter how much it costs.”
Mr. Kenelm forced a smile, replying, “I will try, but I have to say the same words that she is really badly
injured. It’s a medical miracle for the survival of the baby. You…well…you’d better get prepared.”
Mr. Chambers’ eyes darkened and could only nodded. He looked at Zachariah with a mixed feelings
and held Mrs. Chambers away without saying anything.
Mr. Kenelm petted on Zachariah’s shoulder and encouraged him, “Zach, try to be tough. Ophelia still
needs you.”
Zachariah showed a helpless look. He couldn’t even make his eyes focused on Mr. Kenelm. Finally, his
gaze rest on the woman who was carried out by the nurse.
She looked so tiny on the bed. And so pale.
She was as quiet as a doll who fell asleep, making people feel sorry for her once they saw her.
Zachariah raised up his hand to cover the place in his heart. It was the first time for him to find that
although his heart was pounding regularly as the same, he could feel the great pain from every
heartbeat. It hurt a lot.
He followed them outside the door of ICU. He put his head against the glass to observe the woman,
who was lying on the bed.
He gradually fastened his fist, showing twitched veins. He was feeling a mixture of things. As if his
heart was squeezed by someone, despair and helplessness covered every part of his body through the
blood. He never wanted to experience such great pain again in his life.
Madeleine glanced at him and cried out depressingly.
She couldn’t help accusing him when she was crying, “Zachariah, now you must be satisfied. Ophelia
might leave this world in several days. You can finally keep each other’s company with your little lover.
Are you happy now?”
Zachariah’s eyes turned red.
Madeleine turned her sorrow into violence towards Zachariah subconsciously.
She randomly hit on him and choked, “Zachariah, do you know which point I hate you the most? If you
don’t love Ophelia, then stop doing things that will make her mistake your feeling. Why do you make
her fall in love with you?”
Zachariah didn’t fight back and let Madeleine fight him. His eyes were fixed on the woman inside the
ward. His sorrow buried deep in his eyes was going to run out.
Madeleine beat him for a while and finally stopped like a leaked balloon. She loosened him and cried
out desperately.
She asked while she was crying, “What will happen to the baby if terrible thing really happens to
Ophelia? People from your family are all crazy. Even Ophelia is in coma, she must blame me if
knowing the baby is handed to you guys.”
Zachariah still remained silence.
Madeleine stared at him fiercely. However, she was stupefied when looked at him in the eye and she
could only swallow back the blaming words she was going to say.
She had never seen Zachariah’s look in this way, which seemed as he suddenly lost his true love. She
couldn’t sense any of his willingness to continue living from his eyes.
Madeleine also turned around to see Ophelia behind the glass window and finally returned to
calmness.
She licked her lips and asked the question Ophelia always wanted to ask, “Zachariah, I want to ask you
have ever asked Ophelia?”
Zachariah stupefied and emotions rippled in his eyes.
He also couldn’t help asking himself: Had he ever asked Ophelia?
