Chapter 97 Ophelia and the Baby Are all Fine


    Mr. and Mrs. Chambers nodded and then hurried to the elevator to the tenth floor.


    Coming into the room, Mrs. Chambers felt so worried when seeing Ophelia lying unconsciously there.


    She walked forward and looked at Zachariah. She lowered voice, “Zachariah, what’s going on? Why


    did Ophelia get a car ident?”


    Zachariah made a simple exnation.


    Mrs. Chambers asked darkly, “Is the driver found and arrested?”


    “He is investigated in the police station. You don’t worry, mom. I will let him in the prison for his rest of


    life.” Zachariah said with a gloomy face.


    Mrs. Chambers nodded, then put her look on Ophelia’s belly, saying, “Before, I asked her whether she


    was pregnant or not, when I noticed her swell. But she told me that she just gained weight. I know


    that’s not her fault. It must be you! you have mentioned other women in front of her so many times that


    she felt sad and afraid that we would separate her and the baby if one day you get a divorce from her.”


    Zachariah stood there, saying nothing.


    “Zachariah, I just want to remind you that you’d better lead a normal and peaceful life with Ophelia. She


    is pregnant.” Mrs. Chambers said seriously.


    Zachariah just made a face there, and lost in his own mind.


    Seeing so, Mrs. Chambers got a little furious. “Zachariah, I want to get one thing straight here. Ophelia


    is with the first baby of the Chambers family, and my grandson has to have a mother. If you do


    something harmful to Ophelia, I would like to give up you, my son.”


    “Mom…” Zachariah said unhappily.


    Mrs. Chambers just rubbed Ophelia’s stomach.


    Mr. Chambers added, “Zachariah, listen to your mom. I don’t care how flimm you were, but now you


    have to behave yourself and take care of Ophelia.”


    Their words upset Zachariah.


    Mr. Chambers had a talk with Zachariah out of the room, “Zachariah, what are you thinking?”


    Zachariah said in a low voice, “Dad, I never expect that she will get pregnant, so I feel like…”


    Mr. Chambers wore an ugly face, “Zachariah, you don’t even think about it. In the beginning, I was not


    satisfied with this daughter-inw, but during the years after you got married, she had been kind to her


    elders. I will never say yes if you want to abort the baby.”


    Zachariah stared at his father calmly, saying, “Dad, but the one I love is Cora, and she is going toe


    back and settle at home. I won’t give up on her.”


    “That woman had had left you once for her piano career. If she one day left you once again for further


    education in the piano, won’t you have no regrets for your decision today?”


    Zachariah sipped his lips, saying after silence for a while, “Dad, I believe I can make her make a right


    choice.”


    “So you are nning to let your wife abort your baby, just for that woman who abandoned you?”


    There was a deep silence.


    “Zachariah, you are in your thirties, and you should handle things in a mature way.”


    “Dad, I allow Ophelia to deliver the baby. After the baby is born, I will give her a great deal of money to


    ensure her rest of life.”


    Mr. Chambers frowned, “You make up your mind?”


    Zachariah nodded.

    “You have grown up, and I should show you my respect for your decision. I believe you can handle


    your things well.” Said Mr. Chambers


    He tapped Zachariah on his shoulder, “Go on in!”


    They came in and acted as if no talk happened between them just now.


    Ophelia came to herself, to see Mrs. Chambers’ eyes full of worries. She wasn’t of sound mind. “Mom,


    why are you here?”


    Mrs. Chambers felt her forehead, and the temperature was in good condition, saying, “Thirsty? I get


    you some water first.”


    Mrs. Chamber got Ophelia a ss of water, “Ophelia, you got a car ident. But you don’t worry, you


    and the baby are all fine now.”


    All of a sudden, Ophelia got her eyes open wide, staring at Mrs. Chamber with surprise.


    Mrs. Chamber said gently, “Ophelia, we all know you are pregnant now. Rest your mind in peace, and I


    will never allow anyone to harm you and the baby.”


    Ophelia lowered her eyes, and said weakly, “Mom, sorry for lying to you before.”


    Mrs. Chambers petted Ophelia on her hand, “I know why you lied. But I promise, I am here and I will


    definitely protect you and your baby.”


    Ophelia forced a smile, feelingplex. It never urred to her that the secret that she was pregnant


    will be exposed by this way. She had to face it and her travel to Shanghai will have to be canceled.


    Zachariah knew she was pregnant, and he might choose to keep the baby under the pressure from


    Mrs. Chambers. But Cora wille back home soon, so Zachariah was more likely to have a divorce


    from her. Upon their divorce, she will doubtless be separated from her baby. That’s what she cannot


    bear.


    She cannot afford that she lost her baby after she lost the marriage.
