Chapter 284 Cora Woke Up


    “Cora is awake.”


    Ophelia smiled and hid the disappointment in her eyes as she subconsciously tightens and loosened


    her grip, “Mr. Chambers should rest assured now that Miss Fletchers is awake. Go back and see her.


    Else, she would feel upset that you weren’t by her side when she woke up from her abortion procedure.


    I heard from my elders that a post-abortion recovery is just as important as confinement. If you don’t


    take good care of it, it’s easy to leave behind other illnesses.”


    Zachariah looked directly at Ophelia and did not miss the fragility and stubbornness that shed in her


    eyes. After nearly five years of marriage to this woman, he didn’t even know that she still had such a


    stubborn side. How could such a woman not make him feel distressed?


    He was unable to guarantee that he can grow old with her, but she has made him learn to ache for her.


    There were many times he wanted to hold her in his arms and take good care of her and protect her at


    all costs.


    Apart from his rtionship with Cora, he had never had any dealings with other women, so he didn’t


    know if the pain he felt for Ophelia was love or something else. He truly wanted to take good care of


    her.


    This feeling was stronger than when he and Cora were together.


    “Pushing me to another woman, don’t you feel jealous?” Zachariah questioned.


    Ophelia hid her emotions well, and said with a smile, “Miss Fletchers met you earlier than I. From the


    beginning, I married you as a stand-in, so I don’t seem to be qualified to feel jealous.”


    Zachariah’s eyes changed, and the emotions surging in his eyes were turbulent.


    He raised his hand and squeezed Ophelia’s face heavily, blushing her face.


    Ophelia covered her pinched face and looked at Zachariah in disbelief.


    A faint smile appeared in Zachariah’s eyes. He really loved Ophelia’s ignorant and somewhat silly


    eyes.


    “Do you know why I pinched you?” Zachariah asked.


    Ophelia shook her head nkly; she hadn’t reacted to Zachariah’s actions on her.


    “I am your husband; I allow you to be jealous.”


    Ophelia was even more dumbfounded; her whole body was a little overwhelmed.


    Zachariah’s words, she took them apart and read them word by word. She knew what they meant, but


    she didn’t dare to think about it when they were put together. She was afraid that what she thought was


    different from what he said.


    Zachariah touched her cheek pitifully, and said with a low smile, “Silly woman.”


    Ophelia couldn’t turn around.


    “You silly woman. Don’t pretend to be so generous in the future. Men will like it better if women


    asionally pretend to be weak and coquettish.” Zachariah said meaningfully.


    Ophelia still didn’t respond. She also felt Zachariah’s change, but she was afraid that it was only


    temporary. She was also afraid that after she invested too much affection that Zachariah would tell her


    that he still loved Cora, and when she decided to get out of the triangle, she would be left alone in the


    pit and struggle to get out.


    Zachariah didn’t say much but just said, “It’s gettingte now. You and Madeleine should go home first


    and have a good rest. I will take time to go home tomorrow. Don’t think about it.”


    Ophelia’s heart was pounding hopelessly.


    She nodded and said, “Tomorrow, I will ask Mrs. Miriam to prepare your meal. You muste back to


    have it.”


    Zachariah affirmed her, “I will definitely go back. I haven’t eaten with you for a long time. I do miss it.”


    “Then, when you get back, I will cook for you.”


    The two stayed on for a while longer before Zachariah personally sent her to take the elevator before


    turning around and taking the stairs to go upstairs.


    When he entered the ward, Zachariah had already wiped away the smile on his face, and his eyes


    were a little indifferent.


    Cora, whoy on the hospital bed, looked a little excited when she saw him. Unfortunately, she was still


    wearing an oxygen mask on her mouth. She couldn’t even speak. She wanted to lift to remove the


    oxygen mask using the hand that was on a drip. The move hadpletely frightened Mrs. Fletcher.


    “Cora don’t be too worked up. Zachariah is here, be obedient ah.” Mrs. Fletcher said angrily.


    Mrs. Fletcher turned her head, looked at Zachariah wistfully, and said, “Zachariah,e here quickly,


    Cora has been waiting for you for long.”


    Zachariah hesitated, and finally walked over.


    Seeing Cora’s pitiful appearance, wearing an oxygen mask, Zachariah deliberately eased his


    expression and said, “Cora.”


    Cora became even more excited.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Zachariah held her hand and said softly, “Be good, I’m here, don’t get worked up. If you get excited


    again, I’m going to go.”


    Cora blinked hard however she began to calm down slightly.


    Zachariah said gently, “Cora, I know you have a lot to say, but don’t worry. There’s a lot of time to talk


    when you have recovered.”


    Cora reluctantly raised her hand without a hanging needle and pointed to the oxygen mask on her face.


    Zachariah was aware of her intentions, but he still refused, “The oxygen mask can’t be taken off now.


    The doctor said that your body is a little weak. Oxygenation can make you feel better. I know what you


    are going to say. I’m not angry anymore. Don’t think too much. When I just heard that you wanted to


    get rid of Ophelia’s child. I was honestly furious. Now I think about it, I’m not that angry anymore. So,


    you can rest well with peace of mind. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after we have


    recovered.”
