Zachariah was unmoved. He just looked at the sea quietly, making James curious about his thoughts.
James wondered, "Zach, what are you thinking about? It’s not your style."
Zachariah said, "Nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I haven't looked at the sea so quietly for a
long time, and I just miss it."
"Just bring Ophelia here if you want. You are rarely sentimental. Let's go. We are tough guys, so we
can’t behave like a girl."
Zachariah sat still and said, "I was just thinking that Ophelia and I have been married for so many
years, and I haven’t taken her to the seaside for a holiday."
"Then you are not a good husband. Ophelia must have complained much."
Zachariah pursed her lips. After a while, he said, "Maybe."
James pulled him and said, "Let's go. Don't think about nonsense. It's not your style."
Zachariah stood up and recovered his usual calmness.
"Let's go."
James got relieved, put his hand on Zachariah's shoulder, and said with a smile, "That's right. I believe
you are a nice guy. If you feel sorry for Ophelia, take good care of her in the future. I think Ophelia is a
very nice girl, and you should protect her well, or else I'll go for her. I think it's a blessing for any man to
have such a wife."
Zachariah glanced at him and then threw off James's hand directly. James stumbled forward several
steps by surprise, and almost fell to the ground.
"Zach, it’s too bad of you."
Zachariah sneered and said, "Stay away from Ophelia. She is mine, only mine."
James shrugged disapprovingly and said, "Such a gorgeous girl is attractive for excellent guys."
Zachariah glanced at him angrily again.
James shrugged his shoulders.
They smiled eye to eye and then walked back to the car. James's voice came with the sound of wind
and waves, "Don't worry too much about the blood clots in her brain. I will discuss with my mentor to
see how to reduce the risk of surgery and take out the blood clots."
"Thanks."
They got in the car and the sea was still peaceful. They could only occasionally hear the sound of the
sea waves.
They went back to the hospital, and Zachariah came to the intensive care unit, where Madeleine was
left alone. His parents were not there.
Zachariah walked over and gave Madeleine a gentle push. She suddenly woke up from her dream and
said in fear, "What's the matter? What's wrong? What’s wrong with Ophelia? "
James, standing behind Zachariah, was amused by her lovely behavior and could not help laughing out
loud.
Madeleine suddenly regained consciousness, curled her lips, and said, "James, is it funny?"
James gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile, "You are cute."
Unexpectedly, Madeleine did not show him any respect, just saying, "Sorry, I am semi-illiterate. I don't
know Chinese, please speak English."
James did not get annoyed at all, and laughed, "You have a fiery temper, but I like it. Do you mind
having a foreign love with me?"
Madeleine rolled her eyes.
Zachariah poked him and motioned for him to not be so wild and radiate his love wherever he went.
"Madeleine, why are you alone. Where are my parents?" Zachariah asked.
"I think your parents are tired, so I ask them to go back to rest. I’m young and healthy, so it doesn't
matter if I stay for a day or two." Madeleine waved her hand and said freely. However, she looked
exhausted with a pale face.
"Girl, I think you look rather pale. I'm afraid you are the one who needs rest most." James told the truth.
Zachariah took a look at Madeleine and said to James, "James, please take her home. I'll stay here
alone."
"With pleasure." James made a gentleman's gesture and said to Madeleine, "Beautiful lady, I would like
to be your knight. I wonder if I have the honor to send you back?"
Madeleine rolled her eyes and turned to Zachariah, "Can you take care of her alone?"
Perhaps Zachariah had realized the sincere friendship between Madeleine and Ophelia and talked to
Madeleine more gently.
He said softly, "Go back to rest, I’ll look after her here."
Madeleine did not insist, and she was really tired. She hardly slept in the past two days. Besides, she
had not taken some nutrition after pumping blood. She frequently felt cold and her face turned pale.
Fortunately, she has a good physical quality, or she would fall down before Ophelia got better.
"OK, I'll go back first. If Ophelia wakes up, give me a call. Don’t forget to see the baby when you are
free." Madeleine said anxiously before he left with James.
In the car, Madeleine said, "Do you have a Chinese driver's license?"
James shook his head very honestly and said, "No."
Madeleine rolled her eyes and said directly, "Then I'd better get off. I don't want to go to the police
station with you in the middle of the night."
