Ophelia worryingly said, “Something is off with Zachariah’s voice. I’ll go up and find him first.”

Madeleine grabbed her hand, “What can happen to him. It’s definitely about Cora. How magnanimous are you? Your husband is in this despairing state due to another woman, yet you still want to comfort him. I would have made the pair of adulterers bleed to pay for their deeds.”

Ophelia patted her hand and finally said, “I’d better go upstairs and have a look. He wouldn’t display his fragile side had something not happened.”

Madeleine was completely defeated by the woman in front of her.

“Honey, can’t you do better? Don’t just rush over after a word from that man. You are a human being, and you have your dignity. You don’t owe him anything. Show me some character, or I will tie you up.”

Ophelia laughed and comforted, “Madeleine, I know you are for my good. I will protect myself. I love Zachariah, but after all, I haven’t lost my mind. In my heart, love is not everything. I will maintain the sanity I deserve. Don’t worry.”

Madeleine obviously didn’t believe her.

“If you can stay sane, a sow can climb the tree.”

Ophelia couldn’t laugh or cry. Speaking of which, she was not even as good as a sow.

“Madeleine, I’ll have to stop here, I’ll go up and be down in a bit.”

Madeleine stared in anger.

“You stupid girl. After I said so much, you still insist on going up to find Zachariah. What if he and Cora are deliberately being lovey-dovey in front of you? Do you know that you are pregnant, a small stimulus can cause a miscarriage?”
