Chapter 546 Her Sudden Departure


    With her eyes fixed forward, Ophelia moved her lips a bit. She was about to tell him she wouldn’t take


    any belongings with her. Even her bank ount would be canceled after her departure. Everything


    rted to her life with the Chambers would be removedpletely so that she could totally go


    vanished beyond their reach.


    That was what she nned. But she didn’t intend to tell Zachariah about it. Since the divorce was


    done, they were just strangers to each other.


    “Zachariah, if you marry anotherdy, will you forget about me and Tommy?” leaning against the seat,


    Ophelia still couldn’t help asking.


    Zachariah replied with a glimpse and then a smile, “Never!”


    A smile appeared on her face as well.


    ‘Zachariah, thanks, that’s a relief for me.’


    After the divorce, Ophelia went back home to tell both Madeleine and Ted about her n to settle down


    abroad.


    Madeleine asked with concern, “Ophelia, have you made up your mind?”


    She nodded, “Zachariah will still figure out my whereabouts with hiswork if I still stay in the country.


    So living abroad will be a solution. Besides, I wanna be in somewhere new.”


    Madeleine nodded. Perhaps moving to another country would be a solution to bail her out of the


    shadow in a shorter period of time.


    Meanwhile, Ted couldn’t agree more. He also deemed that a better choice to live abroad. What was


    more, he started to wonder it might be a chance for him to get her love.


    So with the help of both Ted and Madeleine, Ophelia got down to a visa process. Meanwhile, she


    started her move andid low to keep her n unknown.


    Ever since Zachariah separated from Ophelia after the divorce, he lost contact with her. She never


    picked up his call. Nor did she text him back. It seemed that she suddenly vanished on the.


    Ophelia might be still in the midst of tantrum, he supposed so at the very beginning. So he did


    whatever she required even including the divorce, which he never deemed it a serious problem. From


    his perspective, they would remarry when it was time.


    However, she had totally disappeared. No one knew where she was.


    He felt like looking for a needle in a bundle of hay. For a few days, he found nothing.


    He wanna talk to Madeleine, who had also vanished. Not until then did he realize that Ophelia had


    been preparing for the separation. But fortunately, she still had Madeleine by her side, someone whom


    she could rely on when the loneliness struck.


    Zachariah sent his men to keep on investigating. Though Ophelia had beenying low carefully, there


    might still be a breakthrough if they started from Madeleine.


    Five dayster, one of his men finally found out that Madeleine booked flight tickets of two for


    tomorrow.


    This time, Zachariah had resolved to bring her back home.


    So he made his man to buy a ticket for the same flight. After a whole night of insomnia, he decided to


    head to the airport to wait.


    In the early morning, he drove himself to the airport.


    Driven my anxiety, he drove far beyond speed limit. It was so fast that he didn’t have enough time to hit


    the brake. Out of instinct, he made a sharp turn and identally bumped onto a barrister on the


    roadside.


    After a violent hit, he found himself too dizzy to remain sober again. Thest thing he heard was


    somebody yelling for help.


    When he woke up in the hospital, it was already 8:00 PM. With his hand pressing against his aching


    head, he still insisted to head to the airport. Though he missed the flight, at least he grabbed a clue of


    Ophelia’s whereabouts.


    However, when he reached the airport, he was told that there was an air crash today, while the rescue


    was still undergoing.


    Unfortunately, that was exactly the flight Ophelia had booked.


    He then saw her name on the list of casualties, which stung his eyes.


    He felt like his entire world had copsed. He teetered forward, but soon slumped onto the ground


    because of injury and desperation. Tears streamed down his face, running out of control.


    “Ophelia, why? Why did you do this to me?”


    “You can leave me if you want! But why going abroad?”


    With great pain mixed with self-guilt, he murmured to himself like a freak while slumping still on the


    ground, “Why don’t you talk to me if I did anything wrong? Why? Why did you do that to me? Why…”


    A security officer hurried over to pull him up and moved him somewhere else. Then he noticed the


    Chambers to pick him up.


    After painful tears, Zachariah was rendered dispirited. Gloom had been lingering on his face.


    As soon as Helena reached the airport, she hurried to bring him home. Mixed feelings surged up in her


    heart.


    When learning the air crash, she felt even worse. She felt like saying something tofort her son. But


    she got choked as soon as she just opened her lips.


    After they got home, Zachariah locked himself inside the room in the daytime while getting himself


    drunk in the bar at night. Ever since he lost Ophelia, his hope for life also had gone.


    Helena was disturbed for seeing him losing his faith. As time went by, she started to introduce other


    girls to Zachariah, hoping that it would help to bail him out.


    Among those girls, udia was the most active one, who had been fabricating all kinds of ‘encounter’


    with Zachariah ever since Ophelia divorced him. But Zachariah remained no interest at all. During a


    family party, the Jerkins showed their intention to propose a rtionship between him and udia.


    However, once again, Zachariah turned it down, leaving no space for any social courtesy.


    udia felt like greatly humiliated as her remaining dignity had been mercilessly tramped by


    Zachariah.


    Eventually, she gave up.


    As a girl born and raised with privilege, she no longer wanna waste her time on someone who showed


    no interest in her.


    After that, Zachariah turned down every girling or being introduced to him for Ophelia had been


    ced the top in his heart.


    One day, he finally gave up fooling himself by drunkenness. He then shifted all his attention to work


    and made himself a crazy workaholic. He got himself anesthetized by working hard.


    At every midnight, he would be preupied with Ophelia, “Ophelia, Tommy, I miss you…”


    Meanwhile, Cora stayed by June as she had once promised. As time went by, she realized that June


    was no match for Zachariah even if she only took the business part into consideration.


    She wanna end this rtionship. At the same time, she used to feel out Zachariah’s attitude, only to


    find that he was still deeply in love with Ophelia. So atst, she decided to quit.


    She no longer insisted. It was time to stop after so much had been paid.


    Gradually, she found herself growing some feelings for June. Finally, she decided to marry him.


    Meanwhile, June had been nning ongoing torture of Cora. But when he noticed the feelings revealed


    in her eyes, he was getting himself softened.


    He promised himself to be nice to her, and then made a proposal on the beach.


    “Cora, I know I have done so much to hurt you. But it was because I loved you so much that I was


    afraid you would leave me alone. Cora, I am so sorry. Could you please forgive me?” June took the


    initiative to apologize.


    Cora nodded, “June, it’s okay. I forgive you. I have also done something wrong before. Now I can tell


    you are so nice to me. You offer me whatever I require. I think we both neglected our true feelings for


    each other because of those issues between us. I was being too selfish. June, thank you for your


    evesting love for me.”


    He smiled and hugged her into his arms, “Cora, will you marry me? I truly hope we can be officially


    married and I wanna make you my ‘Mrs. Lauren’, may I?”


    Cora replied with the same smile, “My pleasure!”


    After the proposal, June actually sent an invitation of wedding to Zachariah.

    Seeing that, Zachariah was quite surprised. But at a second thought, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Before that, he even figured Cora would still insist on her infatuation for him. He didn’t even expect that


    Cora finally made a wise choice. Staring at the invitation, he was overwhelmed with sadness again as


    he recalled Ophelia again at this moment.


    At the date of the wedding, Zachariah didn’t actually attend. Instead, he sent them a gift to express his


    best wishes.
