Madeleine couldn’t bear it in her heart and said in a soft voice, “Honey, I don’t mean that. Calm down.
People should be selfish. You hold the idea that your blindness will drag Zachariah down but have you
asked his mind?”
Ophelia was silent.
“You haven’t even asked him, so what makes you think that you’ll be a burden? If he loved you, he
would have never left you.”
From the perspective of a spectator, Madeleine may not have loved deeply, so she has not
experienced the feeling of being crazy about love and then becoming inferior.
Ophelia couldn’t help but cry out and suppress herself, “Madeleine, what you say makes sense, but
have you ever thought that after I lost my sight, I would be good for nothing? The rest of my life so long,
he will be tired, will resent me from the heart, and I trusted in his tolerance for my wantonly
squandered. We will gradually become tired of our marriage, that’s not what I want.”
“Instead of becoming a stranger, I would rather leave at my best time, maybe both of us will be sad, but
at least he will remember my beauty. I can’t stand that he find out my ugliness as time going.”
Madeleine’s waves of anger slowly calmed down under the onslaught of Ophelia’s tears.
She understood Ophelia’s feelings.. Her heart ached for this silly woman who had given in to love, even
if she was selfish. Though she was blind, so many maids in the Chamber family could take good care
of her living. She was a woman with such high pride that she would not allow her cripples to be
exposed nakedly in front of them.
“Madeleine, help me.” Ophelia opened her teary eyes and said sincerely, “You’re my best friend now. If
you don’t stand by me, I don’t know what I’m doing is right or wrong.”
Madeleine sighed and finally compromised, “Have you thought about it? Even if Zachariah marries
Cora later, you won’t regret it?”
Ophelia simply said, “Cora loves him. If I can’t stay with him for the rest of my life, it’s good to have a
woman who loves him to take care of him, not to mention that the two of them are already in love. I’m
just trying to help them.”
Madeleine let out a bitter smile as she listened to her words, “I will help you, as long as you don’t regret
it afterward.”
Ophelia smiled reluctantly and said, “Thank you.”
Madeleine smiled peevishly.
“My dear, whatever decision you make, I will be on your side. I hope you can figure out that once you
divorce Zachariah, you should keep away from Chambers family.”
Ophelia was silent.
“Ophelia, you...”
“Madeleine, I’ve already thought about it and I won’t regret it.”
Madeleine did not make a word since Ophelia had decided, it was useless for her to say more.
Ophelia and Madeleine reached an agreement, though the two of them had heavy expressions.
Ophelia took a sip of tea and said, “I want to ask Cora out to talk.”
Madeleine glared at her, she could barely keep up with Ophelia, not only did she want to push her
husband out herself, but she also wanted to ask out her love interest.
“Honey, you’re crazy!.” Madeleine jumped straight to the conclusion.
“We can’t have our plan without Cora as the heroine.” Ophelia simply said indifferently.
Madeleine looked at her with eye wide in disbelief as she said, “You want to tell her?”
“How will our plan proceed without her?”
“Ophelia, you’re crazy. I can guarantee that after it’s done she’ll tell Zachariah the truth and then you
and Zachariah will be in trouble.”
Madeleine said in a furious voice.
The expression on Ophelia’s face was indifferent and almost numb as she said, “I want more than that.
I also want to tell Zachariah through her mouth that I have fallen in love with another man.”
Madeleine jumped up and down in anger, looking at Ophelia desperately. She felt like cracking
Ophelia’s head to find out what she was thinking.
“Ophelia, you’re joking right?”
Ophelia shook her head and lowered her eyes.
“Why? If you do that, not only will you be hurt, but also Zachariah and the chances of you getting back
together will be never possible.”
“I just want him to hate me. Maybe if I turn out to be a bad woman, his heart will feel better after our
divorce, so he will commit to another relationship quickly.”
Madeleine shook her head violently that she couldn’t understand Ophelia’s thinking. In her perception,
a couple should share the pain, but the woman in front of her wanted to swallow all the pain alone. She
couldn’t understand what such deep love was for.
Madeleine squatted down in front of Ophelia, grabbed her hand and said, “Honey, calm down, you
don’t have to be so ruthless. If you break off your relationship with Zachariah, I can guarantee that you
will lose more than you gain. I know you’ve been under a lot of pressure. Take a rest, then we’ll talk
about it in the long run. I don’t suggest you tell Cora about the plan, even if you want a divorce, There’s
no need to do that in such irrational way. Tommy needs his parents.”
Ophelia looked down at Madeleine as she didn’t know what to say but nodded.
Madeleine was relieved. She was afraid that Ophelia would do something stupid. Luckily, Ophelia had
come to her first to discuss it. Otherwise, she couldn’t think about the consequences.
“Let’s go, what you said will be done when we have a detailed plan. If you can’t let go of Zachariah,
stop your plan. There are so many servants in the Chambers family even if you are blind...” Madeleine
advised with a long speech.
Ophelia stood up and said, “Madeleine, if you don’t help me, I can do it alone.”
Madeleine sighed, she knew Ophelia’s nature. once she had made up her mind, nothing can change
her mind.
No one knew better than Ophelia how much she loved Zachariah, and if her eyes were not going blind,
she would not have divorced him.
