Chapter 287
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 287<\/p>\n
Mr. Campbell replied, “He\u2019s alright for now, but you might as well take good care of him. If this happened to him again, we would probably not be able to bring him back, no matter how good we are.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh said, “I\u2019m sorry for that. To reward your hard work, I\u2019ll invite all of you to dinner and give you extra bonuses when Tassach gets well.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Campbell and everyone else\u2019s faces softened when they heard that.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s so kind of you, Mrs. Conduibh, but we\u2019re just trying our best to accomplish our own job, and we aren\u2019t doing it for the reward,” explained Mr. Campbell.<\/p>\n
“A reward is essential since you\u2019ve saved Tassach\u2019s life.”<\/p>\n
It was after the small talk was done that Mr. Campbell and his surgical team left.<\/p>\n
Tassach was wheeled back to his ward by a few nurses, while Mrs. Conduibh said to Ophelia, “Ophelia, I appreciate what you\u2019ve done today. It\u2019s late now. Why don\u2019t you go home? You\u2019re pregnant, and you can\u2019t stay up late.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine pouted with contempt upon hearing that.<\/p>\n
Even though she should be in the least sincere, Mrs. Conduibh should long have said that, not now.<\/p>\n
Probably because Madeleine didn\u2019t like the Conduibhs at all, everything Mrs. Conduibh did seemed hypocritical in her eyes.<\/p>\n
Ophelia replied, “Well, fine then, I\u2019m going back with Madeleine now. Please call me when Tassach wakes up, Mrs. Conduibh. Madeleine and I will visit him when we have time.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh nodded and said, “I appreciate your kindness, and I\u2019ll definitely call you when Tassach wakes up.”<\/p>\n
After that, Madeleine dragged Ophelia away.<\/p>\n
Gracie walked up and asked, “So, you allow Tassach to bond with Ophelia, Mrs. Conduibh?”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh held Gracie\u2019s hands and explained, “Gracie, please don\u2019t take me wrong. You\u2019ve also seen what kind of situation Tassach is in now. He\u2019s a stubborn man. Once he decides that Ophelia is the woman he will spend the rest of his life with, he\u2019ll never forgive me if I try to stop him. So we might as well go with the flow. But I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a future between Ophelia and him, because you\u2019re the woman I want him to be with.”<\/p>\n
Gracie stared at Mrs. Conduibh with mixed feelings. She had worked so hard looking after Tassach, but that meant nothing against Ophelia\u2019s little attention to him, and now, even Mrs. Conduibh\u2019s balance was tilting to her.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, she gave everything like a fool. What did everyone take her for?<\/p>\n
Gracie was a lady from a wealthy family and had always lived an extravagant life. She was the center of attention all the time. When had she ever been humiliated like this before?<\/p>\n
Ophelia nodded.<\/p>\n
Madeleine drove themselves to the nearest barbecue stand. Before they got off, she asked, “Honey, I wonder if this kind of street food still agrees with you.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia got amused by Madeleine\u2019s question.<\/p>\n
“Madeleine, I\u2019m no princess living an ivory tower. Don\u2019t forget that I made myself through some rough days before I married Zachariah. We used to eat at this kind of barbecue stands before, you forget?”<\/p>\n
Madeleine replied, smiling, “I thought you\u2019d only eat fancy food now since your life has become better.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia unfastened her seat belt and said, “Let\u2019s get off now. Keep your mind off those ridiculous thoughts.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine also unfastened her seat belt and the two walked up to the barbecue stand. It was after midnight now, but there were still a lot of customers. Their appearance, nonetheless, attracted everybody\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n
It was totally understandable because both of them were stunning. Even if Ophelia was seven-month pregnant now, she still looked beautiful, less seductive due to her pregnancy, but more charming somehow.<\/p>\n
As for Madeleine, she was a pretty girl to begin with, and she knew how to dress herself, so undoubtedly, she was an absolute stunner. The two beauties, who were elegant and sophisticated dressers, caught everybody\u2019s eye once they turned up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1161","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1161","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=1161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
