Having reached an understanding with Jerry, Ophelia was still in a good mood when she returned to
the office, Zachariah saw her enter and dropped a kiss on her face, saying, “I have an appointment to
talk about business, it happens to be noon, do you want to come with me?”
Ophelia gave him a look and asked, “Aren’t you coming back with me?”
“This contract is important. I’ve booked a restaurant, and it’s just the two of us going for a delicious
candlelit dinner tonight.” Zachariah pinched her cheek and laughed, “Be happy, if you want to go, come
with me.”
Ophelia thought about it and said, “Forget it, it’s a matter for me to go if you’re talking business as I’m
not interested in those projects. But if it’s with a woman, you’re only allowed to be frank and be at arm’s
length. “
Zachariah couldn’t help but laugh, scratching her nose and saying, “How a jealous woman! This time
the one I’m having lunch with is a pretty girl. If you go with me, there will be only one beauty .”
Ophelia grimaced and made a threatening gesture, saying, “If you dare to… I’ll make you kneel on the
rubbers, I’ve already had three prepared.”
Zachariah laughed out loud. How could his woman be so adorable? He had only now discovered that
she had such a cute wife after four to five years of marriage.
Zachariah took her into his arms and laughed, “My silly wife. I fall in love with you that I can’t imagine
what if I can’t leave you in the future?”
Ophelia smile too, “Let’s just snuggle up to each other for the rest of our lives. When you get old, I’ll not
dislike you for being the ugliest old man, so that no woman will steal you from me.”
His heart warmed as he made a promise for life, “OK, we will.” This was a promise that he had never
made to Ophelia before.
Ophelia wrapped her hands around Zachariah’s waist and hugged him even tighter.
The two of them kept zero distance for a while. When they separated, Zachariah pinched her cheeks
again and said, “Come with me, the turkey there tastes quite good. You should like it.”
Ophelia shook her head, “No, my parents won’t be home for lunch today, so I’ll go home and keep
Tommy company, even though he’s clinging to Ted, but I can’t let go of him if I’m away for a long time.”
“Okay. Drive carefully on the way. I will solve the problem with the photo. If she sends the photos to
mum and dad, I will explain this clearly. No one can hurt you.”
Ophelia’s heart warmed, with this strong arm to lean on, even if there was any big storm she didn’t
need to block it alone.
“Sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again.”
“To make it up to me, give me a kiss.”
Ophelia stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
Zachariah smiled contentedly and said, “I’ll make sure you can’t walk just stay in bed when your body is
all healed.”
Ophelia’s cheeks couldn’t help but blush. Anyway, she was happy.
They took the lift downstairs. Zachariah took her to the car, kissed Ophelia on the lips and said, “Drive
carefully.”
Ophelia nodded and said, “OK. Don’t keep the clients waiting. Remember to eat some rice before you
drink. Not drink all the time or you’ll get a stomachache.”
Zachariah couldn’t help but scratch her nose and laugh, “So uneasy about me, why don’t you come
with me?”
Ophelia replied by directly opening the car door and getting into the driver’s seat.
She rolled down the window and said, “I will leave now and remember to drink less during the
banquet.”
Zachariah nodded and said, “OK. Be careful.”
Ophelia nodded, rolled up the window, and slowly drove away. Zachariah watched her car enter the
road before getting into his car and driving off in the opposite direction.
Ophelia drove steadily. At first, she was fine but to her surprise, her eyes suddenly became blind, and it
took several seconds before she returned to normal.
She shook her head off and realized that she had almost hit the car in front of her when her eyes went
blind.
This was not the first time that she had experienced such a sudden blind. If it happened one time, she
could explain that she was too tired, but if it happened again, it meant that there was something wrong
with her eyes.
She thought of what Mr. Kenelm had told her last time when she was discharged from the hospital, and
she guessed that the after-effects of the accident must be more serious than she had imagined and
that perhaps her eyes would…
She did not dare to think about it anymore. Her hands on the steering wheel were slowly clenched, lips
tightly pressed, and her heart was in a flutter.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she was. Finally called Madeleine.
When she got through, Ophelia said, “Madeleine, tell me honestly, even if I’ve recovered from the
accident, are there still potential after-effects that haven’t broken out, such as my eyes?”
There was a delayed response on the other side of the phone, and Ophelia shouted uncertainly,
“Madeleine!”
“Ophelia, why are you suddenly asking it? Is there something wrong with your eyes?” Madeleine asked.
“Madeleine, when the car accident happened, you were one of the ones who accompanied me through
the whole terrible journey. You should know my situation well, tell me honestly, did my attending doctor
say that even if I get better, there is still a possibility of me losing my eyesight?”
Ophelia swallowed several times and asked with great effort.
There was another long silence on the other side of the phone.
Ophelia was dismayed all of a sudden.
She knew Madeleine, if there was nothing wrong with her eyes, Madeleine would not have remained
silent.
“Madeleine, will my eyes go blind?” Ophelia said with a complicated mood.
