He thought maybe the answer was yes. If not, why would his heart hurt so much when seeing Ophelia
was lying on the bed like a fragile and lifeless doll?
He nodded, but with a bit uncertainty.
Madeleine looked at him and finally felt a little pleased by his answer. She whispered in her mind:
Ophelia, have you heard it? Zachariah still has feeling towards you. It is not a one-direction love.
“Zachariah, considering the fact that you have loved Ophelia, you have to treat the baby nicely no
matter what happens to Ophelia. If you don’t want to raise him, I can adopt him. I am not as rich as
your family, but I won’t let him starve as long as I have something to eat.”
“He is my son.” Zachariah only replied one sentence.
Madeleine purled up the lip and remarked, “I hope you really treat him as your son instead of your heir.”
Madeleine then looked inside without saying anything.
The atmosphere was heavy in the hospital, so did the same in the security company.
Angrily, Wilfred slapped Liliana and said, “Liliana, you really disappoint me. I have placed a great hope
on you and sent you to Ophelia’s side to protect her. Now she had a car accident on your first working
day. Are you trying to ruin the fame of my security company I have spent so much effort to run?”
Liliana turned her head because of the slap. She bit her lips and didn’t want to find any excuse for her
mistake.
Paul went forward and pled, “Wilfred, I think Liliana doesn’t do this on purpose. Besides, she has
already found the hit and run driver to make up. Can’t you forgive her this time?”
Different from the look he was presenting in front of others in a generous and positive way, Wilfred’s
face darkened.
“Paul, you should know the rules of our company. We will be punished if we can’t take good care of our
employer. Liliana has made a great mistake on the first day she starts working. I think there is no need
for her to stay in our company.
Liliana opened her eyes widely and looked at Wilfred in an unbelievable way.
Paul and Eden were also shocked by his decision. They had been running business with Wilfred when
he just started this company. They had accompanied him to get through the early tough stage when
starting the company. Although they were superior and subordinates, there was a profound friendship
among them. However, now Wilfred was going to fire Liliana because of one mistake. They had never
expected this result.
Both Paul and Eden said at the same time, “Wilfred, we think Liliana didn’t mean all things happen this
time. She happened to meet a car crash on the first day she started working. We could know that the
car accident was made by others. No one expected that someone would continue driving the car
regardless of the traffic light and accidentally injured several passers-by. We can’t blame the whole
thing on her. She just arrived as the employer’s request when she witnessed a car accident. I think she
only accounts for 40% of the responsibility, while the employer should take up 60%.”
Wilfred stared at them fiercely.
“Paul, Eden, when do you start finding excuse?”
They echoed at the same time again, “Wilfred, we’re only stating the truth. Liliana has just started
working. All information she knew was from the employer’s file. She has no understanding about what
the employer’s lifestyle is. It was unfortunate for her to be involved in a car accident on the first day of
working. You can’t deny all of the efforts she has made and fire her. It is unfair for her.”
Wilfred compressed his lips tightly.
Liliana’s tears almost ran out, but she stubbornly restrained them.
“Wilfred, are you really going to fire me?” Liliana asked in red eyes.
Wilfred had a mixed feelings and replied, “Liliana, that’s the rule on the day we started the security
company. One should be punished if he or she lets the employer gets hurt no matter what kind of
reason. You employer has been pregnant for more than seven months. It is likely that both her and the
baby will die in the accident. Firing you is the slightest punishment.”
All of them remained silence when hearing Wilfred’s words.
Liliana lowered her head and said, “Wilfred, I will take the initiative to leave the company if Miss
Ophelia and her baby really die as you expect.”
Wilfred nodded.
“Come to the hospital with me tomorrow. If Ophelia is fine and you can win her forgiveness, I can
consider saving your job, otherwise, I can only fire you. I am sorry. That’s our company’s rule. I can’t
have a bad start because of you.”
Wilfred remarked seriously.
Liliana nodded bitterly.
Wilfred then changed another topic and asked, “Where is the hit and run driver?”
Paul replied, “We are still questioning.”
“Interrogate him carefully and leave him to the police after finding out the truth. You must know how to
deal with the person behind this thing.”
Paul and Eden nodded at the same time.
“Wilfred, don’t worry. The person who dares threaten the life of our security company will end up
terribly. We will cut off his hands if he is a man and we will let her also experience being hit by a car if
she is a woman.”
Wilfred nodded and responded, “Take care and don’t leave any proof. I don’t want our company to be
caught by the police.”
“Wilfred, rest your heart.”
Wilfred waved his hands and remarked, “You can go to have a rest now. Let’s discuss other things on
tomorrow’s meeting.”
“Yes, Wilfred.”
Wilfred sprawled on the chair after they getting out. His whole person was buried in the dark. He held
his forehead and was thinking about something.
