Then she went to the hospital with Steffan.<\/p>\n<p>When they entered the ward, Ophelia was still sleeping with Zachariah sitting beside to watch her quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Her heart was stuffed with guilt. She put down the food and stroked Ophelia\u2019s head lovingly. She asked softly, \u201cIs she gonna wake up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah shook his head and replied in a low voice, \u201cShe just fell asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Helena waved her hand to beckon him over, \u201cZach, let\u2019s talk outside the ward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah stood up and followed her out of the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, mom?\u201d Zachariah seemed to notice what they were going to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>Helena said seriously while looking at him, \u201cI assume you have known the one who conspired the car crash, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah nodded.<\/p>\n<p>Helena said after some consideration, \u201cZachariah, your sister has paid her price. I have expelled her to make her struggle her own life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah took a look at her. Of course, he knew that was the maximum compromise of his mom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I won\u2019t do anything to hurt her. But nor will I offer any help even if she is badly in need. I could never forgive the one who dared to conspire against my wife and my son. Even if she is my sister.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Helena sighed. Indeed, his attitude about Savannah was justified enough. However, she was still Savannah\u2019s mother. She could never just stand by while watching her own daughter being destroyed even though she had committed something heinous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZach, I know Savannah did the wrong thing this time. I am so mad and disappointed. But after all, no one is born to be a saint making no mistake for a lifetime. And so is she. Just deem it a lesson for her. She is still young enough to redeem herself. Just do her a favor if you can. Please don\u2019t turn a blind eye on her need. Savannah and you are the most important things to me in the world. I don\u2019t wish either of you to suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her voice sounded sincere, nearly close to entreating.<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah stared at her with mixed feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Helena seemed to be a bit guilty while facing his gaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, have you ever thought about Ophelia\u2019s feeling when mentioning this request? Have you ever thought about your grandson now sleeping in the nursery room? It has been a few days after his birth. But she didn\u2019t even have a chance to take a look at him. She couldn\u2019t even laugh because her body ached all over. There is still a blood clot pressing against her nerve in her brain, risking her eyesight. You claimed that you loved her just as if she were your girl. But now you try to convince me to forgive the culprit who planned to murder her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Helena fell into silence. Her face was covered with inexpressible pain.<\/p>\n<p>Both Ophelia and Savannah meant the same precious to Helena. Abandoning either would only make her suffer.<\/p>\n<p>She treated Ophelia just as her own girl, but only Savannah was her daughter by blood. No matter how disappointed she claimed to be with Savannah, she still tried all means to bail her out.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it was Helena herself who gave birth to her and brought her up with great care. There was no way she would simply dump her own girl.<\/p>\n<p>Bothered by emotions, Zachariah replied with low voice, \u201cMom, no matter out of what reasons you insisted, I have to make it clear\u2014I won\u2019t forgive Savannah, temporarily. But it will depend on Ophelia whether she deserves my help in the future. If she still failed to learn her lesson, I would be sorry to declare that I would only favor my wife and son. After all, it will be Ophelia who spends the rest of my life together with me. As for my sister, with all due respect, she will still marry someone else and be part of the family of others. Of course, she will be biased toward her husband by then. And it\u2019s understandable for me. Mom, for that reason, I don\u2019t think I can show no favor to either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Helena fixed her eyes on the door closed. Mixed feelings surged up in her heart all of a sudden, jamming and hard to vent all out.<\/p>\n<p>Her son looked so adorable with cute face. His brows and nose looked really alike Zachariah\u2019s. His skin was fair and tender. She couldn\u2019t help fixing her eyes on him all day long.<\/p>\n<p>Ophelia reached out her hand and fancying touching him. But she was worried if his skin would be too tender to avoid being scratched by her rough palm. She looked at the nurse with puppy eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The nurse smiled, \u201cMrs. Chambers, just feel him as you want to. The baby is not that weak as you expect. But please don\u2019t touch him too frequently. His skin is still tender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not until then did she feel relieved. She carefully touched his little cheek. The soft feelings rendered her intoxicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZach, look! This is our son.\u201d Happiness glimmering in her eyes, \u201cHis face is so soft and adorable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah smoothed her hair and said lovingly, \u201cHe really stays quiet today. Perhaps it\u2019s because he also learns that his mom has come to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ophelia smiled with her heart stuffed with bliss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if he could stay awake? I really want to know if his eyes look like yours or mine.\u201d Ophelia said casually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope he shares the same eyes as yours because you have pretty eyes. I hope his eyes to be glowing and watery enough to soften whoever he meets.\u201d Zachariah showed his appreciation about Ophelia though indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>Ophelia responded with a sweet glimpse.<\/p>\n<p>The nurse couldn\u2019t help chuckling, \u201cMr. Chambers, you really share a sweet relationship with your wife.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1271","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1271","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=1271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
