I want to go to Shanghai, not only for the training, but for giving birth to my baby there away from the Chambers family. But now Zachariah varies his routine and wants to keep me here. I’m afraid he is aware that I am pregnant, so he wants me to get aborted. I have mixed feelings now. I have no idea how I should response if he let me abort the baby.
Zachariah was sometimes so evil. He can do something so cruel to hurt his woman badly just for his so-called true love.
Finishing reading their online chatting record, Zachariah was so astonished. Ophelia was pregnant! When knowing about this news, his mind was occupied by one only thought, not there will be an abortion, but he was going to be a father. However, when tasting the panic from the words in the online record, he felt so sorry and guilty. He before must be extremely hash, so that Ophelia should be so scared of him.
But he really had said that there will be an abortion if she got pregnant. Zachariah had to admit that he himself was a total jerk.
Now his woman in the operating room was in the edge of death. Upon thinking of Ophelia would die with the baby from this car accident, Zachariah felt so anxious. He hoped that Ophelia and the baby will be fine.
He finally was aware that Ophelia was not only a disposable girl to him, maybe he had sort of some crush on her. However, he never willingly devoted much more thoughts to this, otherwise, he will feel great guilt for betraying Cora.
Zachariah supporting his forehead there, no one knew what he was thinking about.
For a timeless time, the operating light was off. The door was open and the doctors came out. Zachariah immediately stood up and stepped forward, saying to the captain of the doctors. "Mr. Kenelm, how is Ophelia?"
Mr. Kenelm, who was the president of the hospital, smiled, "Zachariah, don't worry. Your wife is fine now. But the baby is in a more difficult position now, terrified by the car accident. You have to take good care of your wife."
Zachariah took a great sigh of relief.
Mr. Kenelm said, "Zachariah, you are old enough, and you'd better devote more time and energy to your family and your wife. She is in her fifth month of pregnancy, and she should take more rest."
Zachariah nodded repeatedly, saying, "Mr. Kenelm, thanks. The batch of medical equipment will be sent here as soon as possible as my thank-you gift.”
Mr. Kenelm laughed, "Zachariah, you don't have to do that. We both families have been friends for so many years. But your parents have expected a grandson for so long, so they must be very happy when knowing about this news, right?"
"Yes, they were very happy. Mr. Kenelm, anyway, thank you again."
"Well, later Ophelia will be sent to a general ward, and you go and look at her there. Besides, she is pregnant and you'd better ask your mother to come and take care of Ophelia. After all, women have been more careful than men."
After exhorting, Mr. Kenelm left with other doctors and nurses.
Ophelia was pushed into a high-level private room and Zachariah followed up. Looking at pale Ophelia in a coma on the bed, a dull throb of pain shot up his heart. Sitting beside the bed and watching the
pale face, Zachariah felt like touching her, but his hand was hesitating on the air.
Zachariah moved his look onto the soft swell of her stomach, complicated feelings flashing in the eyes. His rasping voice rang, “Ophelia, you are becoming a better liar. You lied to me that you were growing weight. But, I know it’s all my fault. If I didn’t have said that there will be an abortion if you are with a baby. Perhaps, you will tell me happily that you got pregnancy.”
Complicated feelings occupied Zachariah’s mind. He wanted this baby, but he didn’t while thinking of Cora who was going to go back home. Watching Ophelia lying with a gaunt face, he cannot force the word, abortion, to his lips.
For all his seeming ruthlessness to Ophelia, Zachariah actually had a soft place in his heart for her.
After struggling for a while, Zachariah finally took out his phone and gave a call. When the call was answered, he said vaguely, “Mom, Ophelia is pregnant now, and she is in the people’s hospital.”
Finishing, he hung up before Mrs. Chambers said something more.
Half an hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers rushed to the hospital hurriedly. From Mr. Kenelm, they learned that Ophelia was in the fifth month of the pregnancy. And the car accident nearly killed the baby. Now although Ophelia and the baby were all fine now, she was scared and she must be left in peace, otherwise, no one knew what would happen.
Mrs. Chambers got great joy when hearing Ophelia was with baby, then turned terrified while knowing about the car accident. She grabbed Mr. Kenelm’s hand anxiously, “Mr. Kenelm, are Ophelia and baby really fine? How about having another check? She is the only daughter-in-law in the Chambers family, and the baby is the first baby of this family. They must be completely fine.”
Mr. Kenelm said, “You don’t worry. Ophelia is also a half daughter-in-law of mine. I also care about her and they are fine. I said it!”
Then Mr. Kenelm informed her of the room where Ophelia was.
