Chapter 505 Who’s Lying?
Chapter 505 Who’s Lying?
“Girl, you haven’t gone blind completely. Everything will be better. Since you are gonna divorce Zachariah, do not give up your son! As long as he’s with you, you still have someone to rely on. He is the treasure brought by your marriage. Are you gonna abandon everything involved with Zachariah?” Madeleine kept saying.
But Ophelia only responded with silence.
Madeleine was getting anxious. She grabbed on Ophelia’s collar to pull her up, saying angrily, “Ophelia, stay tough! You are flinching for what? Who are you actually? You used to be confident and proud! The car crash didn’t kill you but the blindness makes you feel like dying? If so, the doctor shouldn’t have saved you in case now I am so annoyed when seeing you being a coward! All of us had been struggling so hard to get your life back! But now you give up on your own? Come on, you are humiliating yourself! Stop getting me annoyed!”
Ophelia shed tears again when hearing that.
She covered her chest hard, crying with depression, “Madeleine, I feel so bad. My heart seemed to be broken into pieces. It hurts so much! I know I am being a coward. But I can’t help it! I can’t help feeling bad and I have no idea what to do. I love him. I truly love him. But I made the decision to make a clear cut. Why? God, please, tell me why! It’s so unfair! I survived but my sight was taken away. I feel even worse than being dead!”
Hearing that, Madeleine also felt sorry for her.
She cried as well while hugging Ophelia, “If you still find it hard to get away from him, we can just let it go and pretend that nothing had happened today. When you return, you can spend your time with him as usual. The life still keeps going anyway. The medical technology must be advanced enough to cure your eyes someday. I am serious! Don’t lose your faith!”
But Ophelia just shook her head.
Since then, Madeleine could do nothing about it. She knew Ophelia had so much to worry about. And she had been carrying too much consideration and self-esteem. She would never allow herself to stay with the Chambers while being disabled even though they didn’t give it a fig. However, the Chambers Family had been a great family with so many members, whose gossips would badly impact on her. So she chose to leave before the blindness totally overwhelmed her.
Though it looked like a cowardly move, it was actually the last option for her to save her remaining self- esteem.
She was being too tough to even get merely humiliated. Also, she didn’t want Zachariah to be humiliated.
But it took too much for her to keep this heavy love, which seemed to be too burdensome for any other people.
“Ophelia, chill yourself first. Let’s go back to the Chambers’ Residence tomorrow.” Said Madeleine. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Ophelia nodded. She then lay on the bed, feeling unusually sober.
Meanwhile, Zachariah, who ran out of the hotel, had been looking for Ophelia crazily just like a monster being caged. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find her. It was the most panic day he had experienced in his life. He felt like he was about to lose his most beloved one forever.
He made a call back home, asking the servants if Ophelia had returned. But he only got an answer of NO. Then he hung up the phone.
After a while, Helena made him a call. Distraught, Zachariah didn’t wanna answer it. But he still picked it up in case his mom got more worried.
As soon as the line was connected, Helena asked, “Zachariah, what’s going on with you and Ophelia? Why were you asking if she had returned home? Aren’t you staying with her now?”
“Mom, it’s fine. I found her. She said she wanna play a game. So she hid somewhere and asked me to find her. I failed. So I made a call home to see if she had returned.” Zachariah came up with a lie.
“Really?”
“Mom, you know. We gotta do something interesting to refresh our relationship.”
“Huh,” Helena couldn’t help smiling, then she added, “Be gentle. She’s still too weak to handle all your little tricks. And you still have plenty of time to do anything interesting with her for the rest of your life.
Hearing that, Zachariah felt like his heart being broken.
“Alright, mom, I gotta go. We will be home tomorrow.” Said Zachariah with a hoarse voice.
“Alright then.”
After hanging up the phone, he started to be lost.
He had never expected such to happen today while he was still having a good time with Ophelia a few days ago.
He knew about her well, who had been loyal to marriage. However, it was because of her pure loyalty that she required him to do the same. Before they showed their confession of love to each other, Ophelia might not give a fig about his affairs with Cora. However, now the love had been greatly damaged.
Whether or not he did wanna cheat on her, there was still a certain fact that he got caught on the bed while sleeping with Cora.
Zachariah felt like being driven crazy. He had never expected to reach this dead-end. He had been expecting for the surprise prepared by Ophelia with great excitement. However, it turned out that he got caught in the midst of affair.
Ruffling his own hair, Zachariah made a call, “Morgan, send some men here! I need all of you to search for the whereabouts of Ophelia!”
After giving the order, he hung up the phone.
“Zach.” Cora uttered from behind.
Zachariah turned around to fix his cold eyes on her, “Cora, stop following me. Or I am gonna kill you.”
Tears welled up in her eyes, “Zach, don’t be so cruel to me. It was you who asked me here. And it was you again who said you wanna fix our relationship. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have figured out your whereabouts. I am not that capable to find it out while all your men haven’t even noticed.”
Zachariah started to wonder.
“I asked you here?”
Cora nodded and took out her phone, “Zach, if you don’t believe me, here’s the text I got from you.”
Zachariah took over her phone, but he found nothing on it.
Then his glimpse at her turned to be even worse.
He threw the phone on her, huffing in chilling voice, “Cora, learn to be a better liar.”
Confused, she swiped on the phone. However, she only found that all her texts with Zachariah had gone.
With her eyes wide open, she was stunned, “No! Impossible!”
Zachariah didn’t even wanna look at her. He hurried to find Ophelia. But he was stopped by Cora again.
“Zach, believe me! It was you who sent me the text to ask me here! You said you still loved me!” Cora insisted.
The more Zachariah once cared about Cora, the more he hated her at this moment.
Actually, Zachariah was a paranoid about his own relationship with ladies. As soon as he recalled that he was having sex with Cora just now, he felt like retching. What was worse, she showed up in front of him again and again, which disgusted him even more.
“Fuck off!” he roared.
