Chapter 475
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 475<\/p>\n
Madeleine became irritable. Ophelia was uncharacteristically reticent and it wasn\u2019t like her. Madeleine could barely recognize the girl she had known.<\/p>\n
She understood how it felt but she disapproved of Ophelia\u2019s repressing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSay something, darling. I don\u2019t like the way you are because it makes me worried. Why don\u2019t you tell Zachariah? I don\u2019t think there is anything worth hiding about your eyes. What on earth are you afraid of? \u201dMadeleine got a bit angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not that I don\u2019t want to tell him! I just don\u2019t know how!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia suddenly burst out.<\/p>\n
It took Madeleine by surprise.<\/p>\n
Ophelia continued yelling, \u201cI don\u2019t need all of you to remind me all the time that I am going to be blind! You think you\u2019re doing good for me but each time you say about it, my heart sinks. I have my own dignity and my pride, and I really can\u2019t accept it!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can call me coward, but could you please just leave me alone? Are you happy to hurt me over and over again?\u201d<\/p>\n
The she cried with hands covering her face.<\/p>\n
Madeleine was mortified and she took her hands from the wheel. Both hands shaking, fumbled in the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cDarling, please, that\u2019s not what I meant.\u201dMadeleine licked her lips and said.<\/p>\n
Ophelia slowly calmed down after expressing. She wiped away tears with hands and looked up at Madeleine apologetically.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Madeleine. I freaked out. I didn\u2019t mean to shout at you. Please do not take it personally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Madeleine apologized as well, \u201cNo, I am sorry. I don\u2019t know it can hurt you so much. I thought you might get over it more easily after the car accident. I truly don\u2019t know that you would… \u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia shook her head with a bitter smile.<\/p>\n
She did have gone through pain and suffering from life and death. But no sane person could stay calm when facing the cruel fact of his being blind.<\/p>\n
\u201cDarling, you and Zachariah are married, and I still believe it would be better if you tell him the matter. He may not appreciate your courage when he knows you keep all inside alone. Instead, he will be happy if you can lean on him a bit,\u201d Madeleine elaborated her idea after consideration.<\/p>\n
Ophelia sat on the passenger seat, saying nothing. After a time, she tried to change the subject, \u201cLet\u2019s go to the hospital first.\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeleine considerately stopped asking and started the engine.<\/p>\n
They soon arrived at Saint Maria Hospital. Ophelia was transferred to another doctor as Dr. Gibson had asked a day off for personal reason.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave a seat, please. I am Charles Watson, and I\u2019ll help Miss Ophelia in today\u2019s consultation.\u201d Mr. Watson motioned Ophelia to a chair and said, \u201cDr. Gibson has told me about your condition. Do you mind if I take a look at your medical records?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia took out her chart which mainly recorded the results of a brain scan and she had read them before.<\/p>\n
Mr. Watson pored over her records and stated, \u201cWell, I\u2019ve got a general apprehension of your condition. To be frank, it\u2019s not looking good. The blood clot spreads fast and it has practically covered your optic nerve. The risk of operation is over 70 percent as many nerves in your brain are compressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeleine dazed for a moment, passing her tongue over her lips, and soothed Ophelia, \u201cAs Mr. Watson said, as long as you stay in a good mood, the blood clot can be eliminated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, even she herself wouldn\u2019t believe what she said, let alone Ophelia.<\/p>\n
Ophelia leaned on the back of the seat. Perhaps it was because she had been prepared for the bad news that she recovered from depression before long.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine, Madeleine. Don\u2019t worry about me. I still want to watch Tommy grow, to meet his girlfriend, and to wait for the day when he becomes a husband and father. Therefore, even if someone perceives my life as worthless, I will not give up easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
It sounded heartbreaking. And in these words, Madeleine could neither discern Ophelia\u2019s conceding to misfortune nor feel her desire for moving on.<\/p>\n
Ophelia looked at Madeleine and grinned, \u201cMadeleine, don\u2019t pull such a long face. Just smile. If a bullet\u2019s got my name on it, there is nothing we can do. I\u2019ve been given so much and been so happy that God may envy me. Even if he decides to take something back from me in the end, I still have you and Tommy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ophelia didn\u2019t mention Zachariah because she felt their relationship was too weak to bear any load in frustration.<\/p>\n
Perhaps because of her deep love of Zachariah, she was always afraid that one day she might lose all the happiness.<\/p>\n
Therefore, when knowing she could turn blind some day, Ophelia flinched due to fear. She feared that when finding she was not perfect any more, Zachariah would despise her.<\/p>\n
She never wanted to regard Zachariah as a despicable person but couldn\u2019t help thinking the worst. It was probably due to her loss of confidence. After all, whoever utterly changing from a gorgeous beauty into a helplessly blind person would be diffident. Not everyone could endure the depression of psychological gap.<\/p>\n
Even if it took a long time, it was still unlikely to get used to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1349","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1349","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=1349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
