Mrs. Chambers lay in bed for nearly an hour before she regained consciousness. Everyone came forward and gathered around her. Savannah inquired with anxiety and worry, “Mom, are you alright?”

Mrs. Chambers just looked at Ophelia and Zachariah.

Ophelia came close and said docilely, “I’m sorry, Helena.”

Mrs. Chambers snorted and spoke in a tough attitude, “Ophelia, don’t take Tommy away if you still respect me. He’s my grandson and one of the Chambers. You can’t just take him from me. Or you’re killing me.”

Ophelia stared at her with a complicated feeling. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Mrs. Chambers then changed her attitude and said gently, “Ophelia, you know I’ve been nice to you and you know this better than anyone else. You have two choices, either no divorce or leaving Tommy here. I can let Zachariah give you a lot of money that will be enough to keep you a rich life in the future.”

Ophelia’s eyes were red with tears. What Helena said made her feel out of breath.

Zachariah put his arms around her shoulder and saved her from the pressure of Mrs. Chambers smoothly. “Mother, you need to take a good rest.”

Mrs. Chambers glared at him and questioned, “Zachariah, do you really want me to die?”

Zachariah lowered his head and said in heavy voice, “No. I didn’t mean that.”

Mrs. Chambers strived to get up from the bed. Mr. Chamber stepped forward to support her with his hands and said with concern, “Helena, take it easy.”
