“Well, leave the bodyguard thing behind, and I really don’t need one.” Ophelia blinked with coquetry.
Zachariah finally compromised.
There was a knock at the door and the maid said, “Young master, young mister, the meal is ready.
Mister is waiting for you to have the dinner.”
“I see.” Said Zachariah.
Ophelia got up, about to get off the bed. But Zachariah stopped her. She turned over, looking at
Zachariah with some doubts in her eyes.
Zachariah said, “Your hand is injured. I’ll take the meal here to feed you.”
Ophelia felt happy, but she laughed, “Zachariah, it’s my left hand that is injured, not the right hand. I
can have the meal myself.”
“Really?’
“Zachariah, I am injured, not in paralysis. You don’t have to be like that and I am not so fragile.” Said
Ophelia, with a trace of bitter flashing in her eyes.
When she was really blind, she was afraid that she would be more fragile than a porcelain doll.
Zachariah stretched to cover her eyes and comforted her with his low voice, “Stop thinking wildly. I am
here.”
Ophelia put her right hand on the back of his hand, smiling, “With you around me, I will never be
afraid.”
What she was afraid of was that she would really lose Zachariah one day.
Ophelia stood up, smiling, “Zachariah, let’s go. Don’t keep parents waiting.”
They went downstairs, and the Chambers and Savannah had been sitting on the table. As Ophelia and
Zachariah took a seat, Savannah got Ophelia a bowl of pork ribs soup and said, “Sister-in-law, I just
heard that your hand is injured. This is the pork ribs soup Hana cooked for you. You take more and it’s
good for your bone.”
Ophelia awkwardly looked at the ribs soup, and difficultly said, “Thank you”.
Mrs. Chambers also said with concern, “Ophelia, your hand is injured and you really need to take more
soup. I let the cook make the soup for you which is good for you hand.”
“Thanks, Mom.” Ophelia sincerely said.
No one knew about Ophelia’s fracture, and no one asked why she had fallen. Everyone only tried to
show their care about her by words.
Perhaps thanks to their concern, Ophelia got a good appetite. She took two bowls of soup and a lot of
food, so she got too much full.
Zachariah saw her so full, so he wanted to have a walk with her. However, Savannah got there first.
“Sister-in-law, I saw you eat a lot. How about having a walk with me now? We haven’t gone out and
had a walk together before. I really want to have a walk with you and talk about female things.”
Savannah shamelessly said.
Ophelia looked at her strangely.
Mrs. Chambers cut in, “Ophelia, Savannah is willing to have a talk with you. I think it’s a good chance
for you two.”
With Mrs. Chambers’ words, Ophelia cannot find a word to refuse.
Zachariah frowned and warned, “Savannah, Ophelia is not well enough and you don’t make her angry.”
Savannah was scared of Zachariah, so she subconsciously stepped back and then said, “Brother, you
don’t worry. I now know how everything is going. I won’t make her unhappy.”
Zachariah warned her with a glance, as if he was saying that he had various ways to punish her if she
made Ophelia angry.
Savannah took Ophelia’s hand and smiled very sweetly, “Sister-in-law, let’s go.”
Ophelia was almost pushed out of the hall by Savannah, but after a few steps, Savannah said, “Sister-
in-law, wait a moment, I go upstairs to get something.”
Then she ran into the hall and briefly greeted Mrs. Chambers. She ran upstairs. She fetched an
envelope when she came down.
Zachariah carefully looked at the envelope in her hand, his eyes full of look of unfathomable danger.
Mrs. Chambers asked, “Savannah, what is in your hand?”
“They are the photos of me that my friend has taken in England. I don’t know when my friend will come
back home, so I let him post them back. I recall that I was so indifferent to sister-in-law in the past five
years. So I want to share my photos to her so that we can get closer.” She waved the envelope in her
hand, without any panic in her look.
“Mom, do you want to get a look?” She deliberately asked so to dispel Mrs. Chambers’ and Zachariah’s
doubts.
Mrs. Chambers said, “You go now. Don’t keep your sister-in-law waiting too long. You have grown up
and you don’t make Ophelia angry like before. She is not well enough now. You take care of yourself if
you make her mad.”
Savannah subconsciously looked over at Zachariah, and there was no emotion on his look. She took a
sigh of relief. “Mom, I have to go.”
Mrs. Chambers nodded.
Savannah took the envelope and pretended to hold Ophelia’s arm in front of the family. Aware of
Ophelia’s stiffness, Savannah suddenly said, “Ophelia, you don’t do anything if you don’t want mom to
see our fake friendship. Otherwise, I will angrily ruin the good atmosphere in this family. You know that
mom gets a fragile heart. If she is so angry, she will be sent to the hospital. At that time, you are to
blame.”
Ophelia dazed, looking at Savannah.
As if she hadn’t caught Ophelia’s look, Savannah said, “Let’s go.”
Ophelia did not matter her warning, but she really admired Savannah’s intransimency. She had framed
Ophelia so many times, and she ended up in vain every time. But it never occurred to Ophelia that she
had learned to show a fake face in front of the family.
Ophelia realized that such Savannah was really dangerous.
Ophelia was almost dragged by Savannah to the lake. There were street lamps on the two sides of the
lake, so it’s not dark there.
Ophelia looked at the equable lake and calmly said, “Savannah, you took so much effort to push me
here. What’s your purpose?”
