Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 379 Nothing Risky

Carson said, "Good look is just a skin case which true love has nothing to do with, right?"

Helena nodded.

"My daughter-in-law is still in the OR. Let have a tea party and chat after she's well. I love Madeleine. She's alone in this city, I need to have an interview for her pursuers." Helena said in a gentle voice.

Carson nodded decently.

She stood behind Madeleine silently and held her hand. Madeleine was startled and looked at him.

Carson smiled soothingly at her, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here with you."

Madeleine was touched. Eyes brimmed, she whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Harrison!"

Carson ignored other people patted Madeleine's head. Madeleine's eyes widened suddenly and looked at Carson in a daze.

Helena didn't say anything, although she thought Carson had crossed the line.

They waited outside the OR. It was not until in the middle of the night that the door of the OR was opened. James walked out, followed by many other doctors.

Zach stepped up to James and asked nervously, "James, how's she doing now?"

James looked tired, but his eyes seemed excited.

"Don't worry, Zach. We still got her condition under control. It's just a postoperative complication, which often caused a fever. Given time, it may develop into pneumonia. We're lucky to have found it early." James said.

Zach breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a huge burden taken off his shoulders.

He raised his hand and patted James on the shoulder. "Thank you, James. I owe you this one."

James shrugged.

Zach looked at other doctors and said, "Thank you, everybody. I'll get you a banquet after she's recovered."

Doctor Dixon said with a smile, "You're welcome, Mr. Chambers. We're just doing our job."

Zach said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and have some good sleep. I'll repay you all as long as she gets better."

A few formulae later, the doctors left.

Zach followed Ophelia's gurney and was back to the ward. He looked at Ophelia who was lying on the bed, heart aching and filled with emotions.

He wished he could lie there and take the sufferings for her if possible.

Zach squatted down and gently grasped Ophelia's hand. As he put her hand on his face, he frowned because it felt cooler than he expected. It was cold as ice, as if she was going to die very soon.

"Silly woman, when will you stop making me feel so worried?" Zach said in a low voice.

Helena put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Zack, James said there's nothing risky now. She'll wake up when she has enough rest."

Zach buried his face in Ophelia's palm. He had mixed feelings. He said in a dull voice, "I'm fine, Mom. You and Dad shall go back to have some rest. You've stayed up all night long. It was exhausting."

Helena knew that Zach wanted to talk to Ophelia, so she nodded.

"Okay, we all go back to rest first, but are you sure you can take care of her alone?" Helena asked and still seemed concerned.

Helena nodded.

"We're leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

Zach remained silent.

Helena said to Staffan and Madeleine, "Let go. Leave them some space."

Then they walked out of the ward.

In the ward, Zach was still half kneeling by the bed. He raised his head, looked straight at Ophelia with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "Woman, you look so ugly now, pale and bleak. You don't look like the charming and coquettish woman I knew. Get better soon or I'll retreat my love from you. Then it will be a one-sided love."

Ophelia was still lying quietly on the hospital bed, not reacting to his words at all.

Zach gently rubbed Ophelia's cold hand and said, "OK, it's just a joke. You're my woman, and you'll look beautiful no matter how. I know you want me to say I love you. If you get better quickly, I'll tell you that."

Ophelia was still lying on the bed quietly.

Zach reached out his hand and stroke the oxygen mask and said, "Sleep well. I'll tell you what I feel for you when you're well. I'll manage to give you the peaceful and happy life you want. I won't let you down."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Zach stood up and unfolded the folding chair. He curled his tall body on it, with his hands tightly held Ophelia's, stroking the back of her hand.

"Good night, woman. Have a sound sleep. I'll be here for you." Zach said on the folding chair.
