Meanwhile, Ophelia was crooning lullaby to Tommy.
Actually, she didn’t board the plane that crashed that day.
In the morning of the date of her departure, Ophelia was planning to head to the airport early with
Madeleine.
However, on their way there, Tommy was suffering gastric discomfort. So she had to take him to the
hospital. Thus, they missed the flight.
So Ophelia took another flight the next day to go abroad.
When Tommy fell into sleep, Ophelia left and closed the door gently. She walked to the parlor. Looking
around the spacious and bright room, she then fixed her eyes on Madeleine, who was focusing on her
own phone.
“Madeleine, | got a question for you.” Asked Ophelia seriously while walking to the couch.
Madeleine put down her phone and looked at her, “Go ahead.”
“The housing price here is relatively high. Even if you have sold your house at home, | don’t think we
can afford another one here, | reckon. So, Madeleine, how did you get this house?”
Actually, Ophelia had done some research—the housing price here had actually gone beyond the
amount of money they had.
So she was worried if it would lay too much financial burden for Madeleine.
Madeleine simply replied with a bashful smile, where there hidden something imperceptible. After a
long consideration, she made up her mind, “Actually, | am in love with Carson. And it was he who
bought me this house. Meanwhile, he's helping us to get away from Zachariah.” Ophelia paused out of
surprise. A few seconds later, she asked expectantly, “Carson, the owner of the press?”
Madeleine nodded. Then she shared the story with Ophelia.
She still clearly remembered the day when she told Carson about her plan to leave with Ophelia in his
office.
“Mr. Harrison...1 am here to tell you | gotta leave. If you still remain interest in my writing, we can keep
the contract working. If not, | will go to sign with another press.” Said Madeleine while swallowing
nervously.
Unspoken, he only replied with a meaningful gaze at her, under which she couldn't help getting goose
bump. Actually, she was a bit scared of Carson from the bottom of her heart.
But meanwhile, some different feelings started to grow. Whenever she looked into his eyes, she would
no longer be talkative and composed as she had always been. Instead, she would find herself flustered
and bashful with her heart beating out of control.
Even though she tried to meet him for a few more times so as to get used to it, it didn’t work.
Whenever there was an eye contact, she couldn’t help feeling like being a girl facing the one she loved.
“Mr. Harrison, shall I take your silence as a ‘yes’? If you still got work to do, I will dismiss myself.”
Madeleine smiled awkwardly.
When she turned around and was about to leave, Carson finally uttered, “You haven’t got my
permission of leaving.”
She stopped to look at him again. Her smile somehow looked like fawning, “So, Mr. Carson, what else
can I do for you?”
Hearing that, he was getting amused. This girl could always bring him something funny.
“Are you leaving just like that?” he stood up and bypassed the desk. The next second, his tall and
tough figure pressed to her front.
Seeing that, Madeleine felt like her heartbeat was running wild. She would definitely die of heart attack
if Carson stayed by her side every single day, she reckoned. Every move of Carson seemed like drug,
getting her addictive.
“Yeah...” Madeleine nodded as response.
“Where are you leaving for?” Carson asked again.
“Somewhere else abroad.” Madeleine didn’t want to tell much.
Her face went blushed as he was approaching really close.
“Mr. Harrison, could you please keep the distance?” said Madeleine nervously. She didn’t wanna yell
out harsh words to keep him away whenever she saw his deadly attractive face.
Perhaps she had run out of her toughness when Carson viewed James as his rival back then. Though
she could stay chilled when Carson approached in a domineering way, she still found it hard to even
grab a tinge of soberness whenever she faced him.
If someone asked her a question of no-brainer at this moment, she would still answer ‘I don’t know’ cuz
her brain had gone blank.
Carson took a few steps backward and sighed, “Madeleine, don’t you know I love you? Or are you
pretending not to know that?” His sudden words stunned her for seconds. Then a strong feeling of
excitement grew from the bottom of her heart and hit her.
She asked with disbelief, “Is that a prank?”
Carson shook his head and got closer, “Madeleine, I have planned to chase after you for a long time. I
thought I should take my time to get started. But you tell me that you are leaving. So I wanna be honest
to you. I know it sounds abrupt, but that’s the true feelings from the bottom of my heart. I don’t wanna
put an end to it. I just hope you can know how I feel about you.”
Hearing that, Madeleine was rendered flustered, not knowing what to do.
At last, Madeleine didn’t reply with a clear answer. Instead, she decided to spare him a period of time to
test his feelings.
So even now Madeleine had gone abroad, she still kept in touch with Carson.
The more she talked with him, the more infatuation she grew.
She agreed with Carson about one thing he told her—they both fell in love with each other at the very
first sight.
There was no doubt that she loved Carson.
So a month after she went abroad, Madeleine told him that he had passed the test.
While she was telling this story, Ophelia was laughing happily. Seeing that, Madeleine couldn’t help
getting blushed.
“Alright, girl. I wasn’t laughing at you. I truly wish that you can spend the rest of your life with the one
you love.
But it never occurs to me that the day came so soon. Madeleine, you have my best wishes.” Said
Ophelia sincerely.
Now she finally noticed why Madeleine had been acting stealthily for the recent days, who had
frequently hung out Carson.
Now the answer was obvious—they were in love.
Actually, Ophelia could tell their relationship before Madeleine confessed. But since neither Madeleine
nor Carson chose to tell first, she didn’t intend to figure it out by asking.
Ophelia deemed Carson a nice gentleman. A few days ago when Madeleine was feeling unwell, he
stayed by her side and showed meticulous care.
A happy smile appeared on Madeleine’s face again. But she started to grow more sympathy with
Ophelia at the same time,
“Ophelia, I have the same wish just like yours—I hope you can spend the rest of your life with your
beloved one and live with happiness forever.”
Hearing that, Ophelia felt a bit upset.
Ever since she left Zachariah, she had been strayed away from happiness.
The blindness was approaching. And thus she believed her relationship with Zachariah was meant to
be ended.
It took Ophelia an era to convince herself to forget about Zachariah. Then she started her own
business for the sake of Tommy and also for her own sake—she wanna be the pride of her son.
Meanwhile, Madeleine, Carson and also Ted were all helping her, among whom Ted did the most with
greatest care.
Of course, Ted had confessed his love for her. But Ophelia turned him down as she still kept the
position for Zachariah in her heart.
Five years later, Ophelia made herself a successful businesswoman. What was more, her eyes started
to recover thanks to Carson and Madeleine, who had been taking her to some professional doctors.
