Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Helena sighed and walked to Phelia. Then she said weakly, "Ophelia, I knew what Savannah did had hurt your feelings, but I chose to hide it, thinking that she's my daughter. She wouldn't understand me, but I think you will, will you?"

Ophelia could understand, but she just couldn't forgive her.

"Helena, I'm not blaming you."

"Then don't leave us. Tommy was still young and was very fussy at night. You wouldn't be able to take care of him alone without the help. Madeleine hasn't been married yet, and she hadn't taken care of any kids, either. He will exhaust you two!"

Madeleine interrupted at proper timing, "Don't worry, I've already hired a nanny. We can trust her because a friend introduced her to us."

Helena took a look at Madeleine and said, "I like you, Madeleine, for standing with Ophelia no matter what happened. I'm begging you this time... help me to persuade Ophelia."

Madeleine was torn.

Helena was someone Madeleine respected. She was graceful, wise, gentle, generous, and considerate. Helena almost had all the best qualified that a woman could have. Madeleine felt it hard not to like her.

Ophelia opened his mouth and helped Madeleine out. She said, "I'm just going to stay there for a few days. I'll come back with Tommy when I come around."

Seeing how determined Ophelia was, Helena became rarely firmer, "No, I disagree. You're still recovering, and Tommy is only one-month-old. You are too young to take care of the kid alone. So I have to say no."

"Mom, let me go if you really treat me as your daughter. I promise you I'll come back as soon as I come around. I know you treat me with sincerity, but I just can't see you right now. The more I respect you, the harder I feel to accept that you've covered for the murderer who tried to kill Tommy and me.

Helena fell in silence.
