Ophelia lied on the floor and couldn’t return to her consciousness for a long time. She felt her body was
falling apart and her blood was screaming in pain.
Madeleine asked nervously, “Ophelia, are you alright?”
The passers-by also gathered around and babbled, “Miss, are you alright?”
Hearing the news, the nurses in the hospital hurriedly carried the stretcher here and lied Ophelia on it
to carry her inside.
After doing lots of checks on her, it was found that she was suffering a badly fractured arm.
Ophelia got a white bandage and there were many spots of bruises on her feet, so painful that making
she look pale.
Madeleine asked worriedly, “Is it hurt?”
Ophelia shook her head.
“Madeleine, I am fine. Don’t worry about me.” Ophelia comforted her.
Madeleine felt more sense of blame. She reproached herself and noted, “Dear, I am so sorry. I should
have supported you when I am by your side.”
Ophelia shook her head with a smile. However, she had a terrible feeling. She never expected that her
condition would be so serious that she already caused others trouble before turning blind.
As if sensing her sadness, Madeleine grabbed her hand and said, “Ophelia, don’t think too much. It’s
only an accident.”
Ophelia showed a shallow smile and replied, “I am fine.”
Madeleine didn’t know what to do. Too many times of bad situation would upset Ophelia no matter how
strong she was.
“Madeleine, I am alright. I just don’t know how to explain with Zach. Should I tell him that I didn’t watch
my way and accidentally fell downstairs?” No one would believe such a childish excuse.
“How about I come back with you? You can blame all of it on me. I will only be scolded by him. After all,
both of us don’t like each other and I don’t care for giving him another reason to hate me.” Madeleine
noted.
Ophelia shook her head.
“There is no need to. You have already displeased him many times because of me. I will explain with
him about it. You don’t have to get in our business.”
Madeleine didn’t say anything more.
She went to get the doctor’s subscription and supported Ophelia to leave the hospital. She opened the
car door for her and then tied her safety belt.
“Madeleine, you don’t have to take an extra care. My left hand is only broken and I am not a disabled
person. You don’t have to do this.”
Madeleine ignored her.
Madeleine went to the other side to get on the car. She reversed and started the car.
Madeleine was extremely silent along the way. Ophelia glanced at her. She wanted to say something
but finally remained speechless, letting the air frozen.
Madeleine drove to the main house of the Chambers family. She went to Ophelia’s side to help her
open the door and then untied her safety belt to support her to get off.
After getting in the main building, Mrs. Chambers, who was talking on the phone, noticed the bandage
on her hand and immediately hanged up the phone to trot towards her.
“Ophelia, what happened? Why did you get such a bad injury after going out?” Mrs. Chambers asked
worriedly.
Ophelia sat on the sofa and showed a smile, saying, “Mom, I am fine. I just accidentally fell off the
stairs and broke my bones. I will get better soon. Don’t worry.”
Mrs. Chambers felt angry and worried at the same time, remarking, “Why did you say you’re alright with
broken bones? You’re not in a good health after the accident and now you have broken your bones.
What a careless child!”
Ophelia docilely listened to her murmurings.
Zachariah’s face sank when seeing Ophelia’s hurt after coming back. He hurriedly moved towards her.
He wanted to touch her hands but was afraid of hurting her.
He tried to compress his anger and asked in a deep voice, “What happened to your hand?”
Ophelia lifted her fine right hand to touch his face and said, “Zach, don’t act in this way. I just by
accident fell down and broke my left hand. My hand is fragile and get fractured. Well, the doctor told me
I will be alright in three months. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Zachariah still showed a terrible look. He stared at Ophelia’s left hand with bandage and didn’t say a
word.
His expression really made Ophelia in a dilemma. She found it was hard to tell him her excuse.
“How did you get hurt? Tell me the truth.” Zachariah showed a serious look and asked.
Ophelia lowered her head.
Zachariah reached out his hands and lifted her jaw in dominance, asking, “How did you get hurt?”
Meeting his gaze, Ophelia moved her lips but couldn’t find a word to reply.
“Ophelia, don’t lie to me.”
Ophelia admitted that she got defeated. As if having done something wrong, she replied, “I just lost my
mind when I was getting downstairs and missed my step. That is what happens next. Zach, I am sorry,
I didn’t mean to hurt myself.”
Zachariah sighed. A sense of worry passed over his eyes.
He carefully embraced Ophelia in his arms and asked with concern, “Is it hurt?”
Ophelia also embraced around his wrist with her right arm and replied docilely, “I am not hurt when
you’re around me, but what you did really frightened me.”
Zachariah sighed. Ophelia was his weakness. As long as she behaved softly, his heart would also melt
gently.
Although he knew Ophelia’s fracture was not simple as she described, he couldn’t say any words to
accuse her when seeing her sympathetic look.
“Did the doctor say anything about your hand?” Zachariah asked.
Ophelia leaned on his chest and shook her hands, replying, “The doctor only said I got a fracture and it
was not serious. Madeleine got too nervous and told someone to wrap my hands in this way. It looks
terrible but it’s actually not a serious injury.”
Zachariah sighed in his heart. He knew Ophelia was telling a lie, but he didn’t want to break it. He knew
she was being considerate by trying so hard to make up a lie. How could he make she think too much?
Zach touched her head and replied, “Well, you’re so careless and always hurt yourself. I will arrange
two more bodyguards to protect you, otherwise, I will be worried about you.”
Ophelia immediately shook her head and noted, “Zach, there is no need to. I seldom go outside in
normal days. It will waste their talents by being around by side. Well, I will also be uneasy with so many
people around me. You don’t have to do this.”
“Don’t make me worry about you, OK?”
“Well, all of your guards are wonderful men. Don’t your worry that I will pay extra attention to them by
arranging them by my side?” Ophelia teased and asked back.
Zachariah was in silence. Nearly all of his bodyguards were men. Well, he really became hesitated
when thinking Tommy was stick with Ted in his head.
