Savannah had never thought that Ophelia, who had always been very tolerant, would be out of control
so that she did not give a fast reaction to Ophelia’s attack.
It took Savannah long to react and resist with both hands and feet. However, although Ophelia was so
slim with injured hand, she was crazy in madness so that Savannah cannot get rid of her.
Savannah tried hard to dodge and shouted, “Help, help, mom, help.”
When others came, they saw Ophelia who had been always considerate and generous riding on
Savannah and hitting her. While Savannah was disheveled and embarrassed.
Zachariah stepped forward, and held Ophelia’s waist carefully. He comforted her with soft voice,
“Ophelia, calm down. It’s me.”
Perhaps his voice soothed Ophelia, so she gradually came to herself.
Zachariah then coaxed her in a light tone, “Don’t be so excited, I am here with you.”
Ophelia turned to look at him, then at Savannah on the floor in a state of embarrassment. She realized
what she had just done.
Her lips moved to explain, but there was no explanation.
Zachariah took a finger to cover her lips, “I know what you’re going to say. Don’t worry, no one can hurt
you. I will handle everything.”
Ophelia’s surging emotions slowly were soothed.
Zachariah carefully took her left hand on which the bandage was gone. He frowned but said gently,
“Does it hurt?”
Ophelia didn’t feel any pain from the hand before when she was in her surging emotions. Till now, she
instantly felt great pain when Zachariah mentioned it.
Zachariah lifted her and walked into the hall, neglecting Mr. and Mrs. Chambers. While Savannah
shouted, “Brother, she hit me! Why you so partial to her?”
Zachariah pretended to have deaf ears.
He walked into the hall with Ophelia in his arms, and then put her carefully down on the sofa. He gave
a call, “Mr. Kenelm, please let Mr. Brown come to see Ophelia’s hand.”
Finishing, he hang up.
Ophelia glanced at him, and said, “Sorry.”
Looking at her, Zachariah frowned more tightly, “Ophelia, what I want is not you apologize but that you
are well. Nothing matters to me but you.”
Ophelia bowed her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Zachariah raised her chin, looking into her eyes, “Tell me, why hit Savannah?”
Ophelia’s eyes twinkled.
“Did she annoy you?”
Ophelia shook her head.
“Ophelia, in my heart, you have always been an independent, strong and beautiful woman, and you
must have your reasons for doing anything. If Savannah has done something to annoy you, I can
punish her for you. You are not well yet, I don’t want you to have any more problems, I will have pain
here, you know?” Zachariah put his hand on the chest close to his heart.
Ophelia instantly became heart-broken.
During the past period, Zachariah had been a perfect husband. However, the more perfect he was, the
more inferior she became. Her to-be-blind eyes made her no confidence. She was so afraid that she
will be the shame that anyone can use to make fun of Zachariah.
He was so outstanding and nearly perfect. She cannot be the stain on his flawless life.
She loved him so much that she didn’t want to be the burden on his life and the block in his career.
If he was cruel or indifferent to her as before, she can find an excuse to persuade herself to stay with
him.
But now, thousands of excuses she could find were toppled by her subconsciously.
Zachariah misunderstood her look, “Is your arm very painful?”
Ophelia shook her head and whispered, “I beat Savannah. Don’t you blame me?”
Zachariah said, “I believe you have your reason. I don’t think you will do something with no reason.”
Ophelia was moved.
Savannah was supported by Mr. and Mrs. Chambers and walked in. Ophelia glanced at Savannah with
bruises on her face of beauty. Surprise flashed in Ophelia’s eyes.
It never occurred to her that Savannah’s words can make her out of control, so that she hit Savannah
so badly.
If someone had told her that one day she would lose her mind and fight with others, she would have
snorted. Because it’s not her style to such things. However, she really did.
Ophelia wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Zachariah.
Ophelia looked over at Zachariah with confusion. He shook head as if he was saying “Don’t be afraid. I
am here with you.”
Mrs. Chambers supported Savannah to get seated on the sofa, and looked at Ophelia. “Ophelia,
Savannah said that you suddenly hit her while having a walk, didn’t it?”
Ophelia kept silent for a long time. Regardless of reasons, her education didn’t allowed her to hit
someone so badly. But looking at the bruises on Savannah’s face, Ophelia felt a trace of pleasure. She
felt no regret that she had hit Savannah, although she knew that that’s wrong.
“Mom, I’m sorry.” Ophelia said.
Mrs. Chambers deeply looked at her, and said with a meaningful tone, “Ophelia, I know you have some
problems with Savannah, but she has changed a lot and become better. Besides, she has apologized.
You shouldn’t put her into this way, though.”
Ophelia was silent. It was really her fault, so she had nothing to say.
Zachariah took her hand, and said, “Mom, I believe that there should be some misunderstanding and
Ophelia is not impulsive. I believe it’s Savannah who caused this thing, otherwise Ophelia wouldn’t
have hit her.”
Zachariah pinned this thing on Savannah partially.
Mrs. Chambers frowned, unsatisfied with Zachariah’s attitude.
