Chapter 151 Serenity for the Moment
Chapter 151 Serenity for the Moment
Stunned for a moment, Madeleine then flew into a great rage.
"What the hell are you talking about, you brute? Who else could the child be fathered by if it were not you?"
"Anyone could be the kid's father, giving that Ophelia loves money so much."
With her hands raised high above her head, she was about to give Zachariah a hard slap. While, unexpectedly, he stopped her in the middle by grabbing her hands.
Gnashing her teeth, she glared at him and said, "And now, you're going to abandon your own kid, aren't you? Just wait and see, Zachariah — sooner or later, you will reap what you sow!"
"I will wait until the child is born, and take the paternity test myself by then. If it is truly my own kid, I will then take the responsibility; and if it is not, I won't spoil myself raising that son of bitch."
Madeleine's whole shape turned trembling out of anger.
She tried to calm herself, inhaled and said, "Ophelia will be deeply hurt if she ever hears that. Indeed, she looks flirtatious from her outside, but what's inside of her, she is more than faithful and sincere! Something as simple as that should be clear enough for you, since you guys have already been married for years!"
Zachariah went back to his seat and remained silent.
As Madeleine was about to continue, she noticed that the door was reopened and the operation seemed over. She then quickened to the leading doctor and asked in haste, "Is she alright, doctor?"
"Yes, she is fine, temporarily." Said the doctor, "The point is that she has recently been in an emotionally turbulent state, which is not really good for her kid. Just try to keep her in a
rather good mood when she goes back home. Otherwise, she would possibly lose her kid."
Ophelia was severely tense hearing the words. She then continued, "Are you sure that she and her kid are fine?"
"Provided that she is not in a turbulent mood swing, Miss, I think they will be fine. Just keep her happy and relaxed, or I can not assure the safety of her kid."
Madeleine nodded her head in haste.
"She will be later shifted to the general ward, and please, remember what I have just said: keep her happy and relaxed." Said the doctor.
Madeleine nodded to respond.
Ophelia was then shifted to the common ward, accompanied by Madeleine and Zachariah.
Standing by Ophelia who was in bed, Madeleine pointed at her and turned to Zachariah, "Do you see that, Zachariah? Your wife, the flirtatious woman in your mouth, is lying on the bed and still in unconsciousness, and the kid in her tummy is at risk of losing his life all because of your cruelty!"
Zachariah staring at Ophelia without saying anything.
Madeleine gave a sigh and softly said, "You would never have treated her in this way if you had ever loved her even for a single bit. I give up now: you're not one for her, and maybe it's better for both of you to separate from each other. I don't mind if you have misunderstood her or not anymore, since I see there is no love for her deep underneath your heart."
Finally, Zachariah answered, "I'm not going to divorce her temporarily." As his voice faded, he turned around and left.
Madeleine pulled out a chair and sat, pushed aside Ophelia's fringe lovingly and whispered, "Just don't worry, Ophelia: if he is really going to divorce you, you will still have me by your side. Together, we shall raise the kid. Though we may not be exceedingly rich, we can still assure him of a happy and well off life."
Unconsciously, Ophelia failed to give any response.
Ophelia woke up the next morning. Noticing that Madeleine was sleeping by her side, she shook her shoulder and said, "Wake up, Madeleine."
As Madeleine was woken and opened her eyes, she was excited to see that Ophelia was awake, held her hands and said, "Finally, you're awake, dear! I was really frightened seeing you fall down and fainted yesterday. Just wait, and I'm going to call the doctor in."
Madeleine ran out and brought in the doctor. After giving Ophelia a physical check, the doctor said, "Don't worry, Miss. Lowe, she's fine. It's OK for her now to go through the discharge formalities, while, of course, she can also stay in the hospital for another day as a precaution." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Madeleine nodded and answered, "We're going to spend another day here."
After the doctor left, Madeleine poured a glass of water and handed it over to Ophelia, "Come on, drink it, Ophelia. It's still early, and later I will go out and buy you some porridge."
Ophelia took a few sips of the water, hesitated and asked, "Where is he?"
She was obviously talking about Zachariah.
Madeleine took her hand and asked, "Tell me, Ophelia: what exactly happened yesterday? I thought that you guys have been getting along well with each other."
A dull look flickered in Ophelia's eyes. She then said mirthlessly, "He saw those photographs."
With her eyes opened wide, Madeleine finally understood why Zachariah was in rage: there was no man could ever stay calm in front of his wife seeing pictures like that, let alone Zachariah, who had suppressed his anger, sent Ophelia to hospital and listened to Madeleine's nonsense. If she were Zachariah, she would possibly be in extreme rage either.
"Wait, is that Gracie starts everything?" Asked Madeleine.
Ophelia nodded.
"Screw the bitch! We can no longer just let her keep bulling us like that, and I swear I will make her pay for everything that she has done!"
Ophelia shook her head and said, "No, don't do that Madeleine. Her family is wealthy and influential, and you will be likely to lose your career if she catches you."
Madeleine said toughly, "I'm not afraid of her! For years, I have seen and gotten through so many things, and thus I'm not going to be frightened by a little rich girl! What's more, we've been supporting each other for years, and I have already considered you as one of my precious families. Therefore, I'm not going to just stand aside and watch!"
