Chapter 202
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 202<\/p>\n
Ophelia walked over to the wardrobe and started carefully picking out her outfit. Even with a baby bump which slightly \u2013 well, no, completely was more like it \u2013 ruined her figure, she didn\u2019t want to lose to Cora.<\/p>\n
Ophelia\u2019s beauty was such that it would get you wondering whether she was a promiscuous type. As such, pure- and innocent-looking Cora was at an advantage, if they were to vie for people\u2019s sympathy. Still, though, Ophelia didn\u2019t want to lose.<\/p>\n
In fact, the result of a cat fight depended on whose side that the dog \u2013 i.e., the man \u2013 eventually decided to take.<\/p>\n
Ophelia arrived at the caf\u00e9 five minutes early, so she ordered a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, which she sipped as she waited. But when the agreed-upon meeting time arrived, Cora was still nowhere to be found. When Ophelia finished her coffee, she fished out her phone to find that half an hour had passed.<\/p>\n
Ophelia dialed a number. When it connected, she said, \u201cAre you here? Time is nothing of value to you, but priceless to me. You have ten more minutes to get here, because otherwise I\u2019m leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora\u2019s voice that came from the other end of the line, however, was very weak. \u201cOphelia, I\u2019m feeling severe pains in and around my belly. Do you think I\u2019m losing the baby? Can you come over?\u201d<\/p>\n
Immediately panicked, Ophelia asked, \u201cWhere are you right now? Let me know and I\u2019m coming right over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora told her the address over the phone, and Ophelia, though surprised at the fact that Cora\u2019s residence was quite close to Zachariah\u2019s apartment building, had no time for jealousy in the face of life and death.<\/p>\n
Ophelia hastily paid for her coffee and hurried out of the caf\u00e9. When she got into the car, she felt the need to call Zachariah, who didn\u2019t answer until the second call.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi, Cora just called and told me she had belly aches, and I\u2019m not sure what it is but I\u2019m going to her place to check on her. You should also come if you aren\u2019t busy, cuz it\u2019s\u2026it\u2019s your kid after all, and I assume you\u2019ll be sad too should anything happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be there in a sec,\u201d said Zachariah simply, before he hung up.<\/p>\n
Hearing the beeping noises of the phone, painful expressions flashed past Ophelia\u2019s eyes for a brief second, but soon, she was able to readjust her emotions and pull the car away.<\/p>\n
It was off-peak hours, so Ophelia drove to Cora\u2019s apartment building as fast as possible and took the elevator to Cora\u2019s floor. Ophelia pounded hard on the door, but no one answered, so she had to go back down and negotiate with the concierges, two of whom grabbed a string of keys and agreed to follow her upstairs.<\/p>\n
Keying the door open, Ophelia found Cora lying next to the staircase, a pool of blood stagnant near her legs.<\/p>\n
Ophelia knew instinctively that this was a bad sign, so she asked the concierges to call for an ambulance, while she herself ran to Cora\u2019s side and crouched down. \u201cCora, Cora!\u201d<\/p>\n
With a pregnant woman covered in blood in his arms, the concierge was terrified, too. After quite some efforts, they finally got down to the ground floor, where Ophelia opened the doors of her car, and the concierge guys put Cora in the backseat cautiously.<\/p>\n
Ophelia drove to the best hospital in town as fast as she could while keeping it steady. She had called Mr. Kenelm on the ride over, so as soon as they arrived, they were welcomed by a team of doctors and nurses carrying stretchers.<\/p>\n
The medical professionals transferred Cora on to the stretcher, and carried her into the hospital. Exhaling in relief, Ophelia turned to the concierges. \u201cThank you both so much, gentlemen. I have no idea what would have happened today had it not been for your help. Let me buy you guys dinner some other day as a token of gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
The concierges, both upright, middle-aged men, got flustered in front of a stunner like Ophelia. \u201cIt\u2019s not that big of a deal, miss, since this is also what our jobs prescribe. Now that your friend is safely delivered to the hospital, we shall go back to work then.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay. I have to stay with her at the hospital, so I can\u2019t drive you back. I\u2019ll treat you to dinner when she recovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two men nodded in agreement before leaving.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kenelm walked towards her. \u201cOphelia, you\u2019re not looking great yourself. Let me do a check-up on you, may I? Helena has been looking forward to meeting this future grandson of hers forever, and I don\u2019t want anything to happen to this precious baby.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1076","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
