“Cora is awake.”

Ophelia smiled and hid the disappointment in her eyes as she subconsciously tightens and loosened her grip, “Mr. Chambers should rest assured now that Miss Fletchers is awake. Go back and see her. Else, she would feel upset that you weren’t by her side when she woke up from her abortion procedure. I heard from my elders that a post-abortion recovery is just as important as confinement. If you don’t take good care of it, it’s easy to leave behind other illnesses.”

Zachariah looked directly at Ophelia and did not miss the fragility and stubbornness that flashed in her eyes. After nearly five years of marriage to this woman, he didn’t even know that she still had such a stubborn side. How could such a woman not make him feel distressed?

He was unable to guarantee that he can grow old with her, but she has made him learn to ache for her. There were many times he wanted to hold her in his arms and take good care of her and protect her at all costs.

Apart from his relationship with Cora, he had never had any dealings with other women, so he didn’t know if the pain he felt for Ophelia was love or something else. He truly wanted to take good care of her.

This feeling was stronger than when he and Cora were together.

“Pushing me to another woman, don’t you feel jealous?” Zachariah questioned.

Ophelia hid her emotions well, and said with a smile, “Miss Fletchers met you earlier than I. From the beginning, I married you as a stand-in, so I don’t seem to be qualified to feel jealous.”

Zachariah’s eyes changed, and the emotions surging in his eyes were turbulent.

He raised his hand and squeezed Ophelia’s face heavily, blushing her face.
