Chapter 203
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 203<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m okay, Mr. Kenelm,\u201d said Ophelia as she shook her head, \u201cI was just in a tense and worried state throughout the drive over, so I suppose that\u2019s why I don\u2019t look good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Kenelm quite liked this young wife of Zachariah, who was like a nephew to him. Though lacking in a prominent family background, Ophelia more than made up for it by being sensible, graceful, and well-mannered. She had an elegant air about her, which made her every move supremely charming and pleasant. From a male perspective, women like her were very much \u201cwife-material,\u201d and any man sophisticated enough would be able to rid himself of the prejudicial assumption that she was a loose woman simply because of her looks.<\/p>\n
\u201cA pregnant woman like you should value her health above anything else. You being tense all the time will be bad for the health of the fetus, so you must watch out for yourself, okay?\u201d Mr. Kenelm walked her into the hospital as he exhorted.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Mr. Kenelm, I\u2019ll take your advice to heart,\u201d answered Ophelia meekly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you catch some rest in my office?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat wouldn\u2019t be necessary,\u201d said Ophelia as she shook her head. \u201cI\u2019ll be fine after sitting down for a while. Please don\u2019t feel compelled to stay with me, Mr. Kenelm, if you\u2019re busy as the president of the hospital. I feel bad enough for bothering you with a phone call earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re like a niece-in law to me, so don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re bothering me in any way. Feel free to call me in the middle of the night, and I will wake up every doctor in this hospital for you, because should anything happen to you, Helena will have my hide for sure,\u201d joked Kenelm.<\/p>\n
Ophelia grinned. \u201cAnyway, thank you very much, Mr. Kenelm. Please feel free to return to work if you\u2019re busy. I\u2019ll quite alright waiting here outside the operating room. And Zach is coming too in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll be off then. Call me if you need anything,\u201d replied Kenelm before he left.<\/p>\n
Ophelia sat alone on the bench outside the operating room for about ten minutes before Zachariah showed up.<\/p>\n
\u201cOphelia, how\u2019s she doing?\u201d said Zachariah as he ran towards her.<\/p>\n
Ophelia felt weird to see him in a clearly worried state. Nevertheless, she replied, \u201cShe\u2019s in the operating room still.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened exactly? Why would she call you? And how\u2019s the baby?\u201d Zachariah asked without a pause.<\/p>\n
Shooting him a look with a complex mixture of emotions, a slight pang of hurt flashed across Ophelia\u2019s helpless mind.<\/p>\n
Weirdly, Zachariah didn\u2019t feel the sadness and pain he\u2019d expected to rise in his heart; on the contrary, he secretly felt relieved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know that for sure. Let\u2019s wait to hear what the doctor has to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia stared at him, surprised by how calm he looked at the news of Cora\u2019s accident. Was he faking calmness, or was he just a naturally unfeeling man? Because if it was the latter, then this guy would be much too cruel.<\/p>\n
Ophelia hoped and prayed that his calm exterior was just a pretense, because although she didn\u2019t want him to weep over another woman, she\u2019d prefer it to the possibility that Zachariah just did not care at all about Cora\u2019s accident, whom he loved. What kind of a heartless, frightening man would he be then?<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you worried about her, Mr. Chambers?\u201d asked Ophelia tentatively.<\/p>\n
Zachariah put an arm around her. \u201cStop reading too much into this. Wouldn\u2019t you be jealous if I act too worried?\u201d<\/p>\n
But Ophelia\u2019s concerns only grew. \u201cYour calmness is scaring me, Mr. Chambers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1077","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1077","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=1077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
