Chapter 409 Upset
She looked thinner and more haggard, But her beauty still remained.
Ophelia was rendered a bit awkward by his gaze. She dodged his eye contact and said, “Tassach,
wee. Come on, take a seat.”
Tassach stood still, lost in thought.
Madeleine sneered, “Hey, stop staring at her. I bet you will have your eyeballs gouged out if you keep
doing so.” Of course, she was referring to Zachariah, whose eyes were burning with hostility.
Tassach soon collected himself and cleared his voice, “Ahem, sorry.”
Ophelia nced at Madeleine and smiled, “Tassach, please don’t mind it. She was just joking. She
didn’t mean to offend you.”
Tassach shook his head to say seriously, “Ophelia, you know about me. I have heard something more
offensive from Madeleine.”
Ophelia nodded, “Tassach, please sit down.”
So he sat on a couch.
Zachariah walked over to kiss Ophelia, simply ignoring everyone present. Then he asked softly, “Are
you feeling good today?”
Ophelia gently pushed him against his chest to say awkwardly, “Zach, stop. It’s so embarrassing.”
But Madeleine didn’t seem to care, “Girl, just pretend that you are now staying with Zachariah alone
and do whatever you want. After all, I have seen the same thing for so many times during these days. I
would have run away if I felt sick when seeing your PDA.”
Though Ophelia was rendered bashful with blush on her face, the happiness shown on her expression
was noticeable.
Tassach forced out a smile. But a trace of pain shed in his eyes. His heart felt like being torn apart
violently, bleeding.
Though it had only been a month, Ophelia looked much more gorgeous. But it wasn’t led by a change
of a better look. Instead, she glowed with beauty because of feeling being blessed.
Tassach was aware of the impossibility of his rtionship with Ophelia. The woman he truly loved was
now captured by another man.
His heart was stuffed with mixed feelings. Of course, he did wish Ophelia a blissful life. But he also
hoped that it was he himself who yed the role of Romeo.
“Tassach, have you recovered?” Ophelia’s voice pulled him back to the reality.
Tassach collected himself to reply, sounding distraught still, “What?”
Ophelia didn’t notice his emotion. But Madeleine seemed to tell something different. She cast a glimpse
at him.
“Have you recovered from the illness?” Ophelia asked again.
“Almost. But my mom insisted that I should stay for a few more days as she still worried about it.” Said
Tassach honestly.
After pondering for a while, he asked, “Ophelia, why don’t you tell me about the car crash? If it weren’t
because of someone else who told me about it, I would have been kept in the dark forever.”
Ophelia smiled, “Tassach, I don’t mean to keep it from you. I was ina after the car crash. I didn’t
wake up until the urgent surgery has been continuously conducted for a few days. Even the surgeon
has issued a notice of my critical condition. And I knew nothing about it until Madeleine told me that
after I woke up. The car crash really pushed me to the edge of death. As soon as I woke up, both Zach
and Madeleine have been carefully tending me. It’s quite troublesome. So I don’t want you to be
bothered.”
Tassach felt heartbroken as he noticed that Ophelia still viewed him as one of those strangers.
“I am d to know that you are fine.” Tassach said bitterly.
Ophelia took a look at Zachariah, feeling embarrassed.
Madeleine took the chance to cut in, “Hey, why don’t you bring some supplement for her today? You
just drop by with bare hands?”
Tassach felt awkward and apologized.
Ophelia looked at Madeleine disapprovingly, “Madeleine, don’t be so mean.”
Madeleine shrugged and smiled, “I was just kidding. But I know he must be generous enough to ept
my suggestion. Am I right about that, Tassach?”
He just nodded in silence.
After staying for a while, Tassach felt uneasy while being a witness of Zachariah’s care for Ophelia. So
he stood up, “Ophelia, I gotta go back to my ward. I don’t want my mom to be worried after I have left
for so long. I didn’t bring my phone so I need to get back to show her I am fine. See you another day.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Ophelia was about to get off the bed to walk him out. But Tassach hurried to stop, “Ophelia, just stay on
the bed. I can go by myself. Take a rest.”
So Opheliay down again.
Madeleine suddenly asked, “Girl, let me do your job to walk him back. By the way, I fancy some snacks
outside. So do you want something to eat? What about Mr. Chambers?”
Ophelia shook her head.
“Alright, I gotta walk him back. Just enjoy your romantic moment with Mr. Chambers.”
Ophelia was speechless. She took a glimpse at Tassach, who wore a poker face. But a trace of pain
shed in his eyes again. Ophelia only responded with silence.
Both of them walked out of the ward. But unlike the usual days, Tassach was abnormally silent. He felt
like losing all his energy.
Madeleine was a bit uneasy. So she nudged him, “Hey, you feel bad when witnessed their nice
rtionship with your own eyes? Hey, the Tassach Conduibh I know about will never give up chasing
for love that easily. Or is it because now you have realized the gap between you and Zachariah is so
huge that you find it impossible to get through? So that’s why you give up?”
Tassach shook his head.
Madeleine shivered a bit, “Damn, that’s chill to see your frustrated face. Come on, man yourself up if
you are a man! Keep your head straight!”
Tassach took a glimpse at her, smiling, “I really sighed with emotion when seeing her happy face.
Though it has been only a month. It makes me feeling like dreaming when I meet her again.”
Madeleine couldn’t help shivering again, getting goose bumps all over.
“Hey, stop, no need to be so sentimental! You get me goose bumps!” said
Madeleine.
