Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 28 Operation

Madeleine’s operation lasted for almost nine hours. A group of doctors walked out after the lights went out.

Ophelia walked towards them quickly and asked urgently, “How is my friend?”

“It is not optimistic. She survived, but has to be observed in the intensive care unit for 48 hours. If she can wake up, there will be no problem. Otherwise, she may become a vegetable. You should prepare yourself for that.”

Ophelia was dumbfounded completely, grabbing the doctor's hand, and asked nervously, “What do you mean? What does it mean that she will be a vegetable? She is such a good girl, how would she become a vegetable?”

Madeleine was her best friend and liked a family member to her. She can use her beauty and persuasiveness to deceive people for money, but she would never deceive Madeleine. They are family who depend on each other in this indifferent and unfamiliar city.

Madeleine might become a vegetable because of her. She was going crazy, her tummy was in a vague pain off and on due to excessive emotions, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Jimmy stepped forward to support her and comforted her, “Ophelia, please calm down, I think Miss Lowe will be fine.”

The doctors were also moved with compassion, and said, “Madam, Calm down. We will definitely try our best to save her.”

Ophelia leaned on Jimmy, her stomach worsened, and eventually she fainted.

When she woke up, she found herself in a bed, and Jimmy was sitting beside her.

Seeing Ophelia wake up, Jimmy said, “Madam, the doctor said you are pregnant for three months.”

With a pale face, Ophelia felt alarmed, and looked at Jimmy with alert, “What are you going to do?”

Jimmy glanced at her strangely, and said scrupulously, “Madam, pregnancy is a blessed thing. I am sure Mr. Chambers will be happy to know it.”

Ophelia calmed down and looked at Jimmy quietly, “Jimmy, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. You know the relationship between me and Mr. Chambers. If he knows that I’m pregnant, he would force me to do an abortion. There is no other way. You are also a woman, and I assume you don’t have the heart to see the baby aborted.”

Jimmy nodded and suddenly smiled, “Madam, I understand. My mission this time is to take care of you, which does not include telling Mr. Chambers about your pregnancy, so don't worry.”

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, “Jimmy, I misunderstood you just now, and, thank you.”

Jimmy shrugged with a smile and said, “Don't mention that. I didn't do anything. Although I have never had a child, I like children very much. Besides, it’s your choice whether to tell Mr. Chambers about your pregnancy or not. I'm an outsider, so I shouldn’t get involved.”

Ophelia's expression finally became better.

“Anyway, I still want to thank you.” Ophelia said sincerely.

After a pause, she continued, “By the way, how long have I slept? How is Madeleine?”

Jimmy said truthfully, “You slept for nearly three hours. The doctor said that you were too emotional, which caused the fetal movement, and you fainted. However, you can rest assured that there is no problem with the baby. As for your friend, the doctor said she has to be observed for 48 hours.”

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Jimmy faked a cough and changed the subject, “Mr. Chambers just called and said that he has already boarded the flight and should be able to come here in two hours.”

Ophelia just nodded, “Can I be discharged from the hospital now?”

Jimmy shook her head, “The doctor said you need to be observed. If there is no major problem, you can be discharged then. Don't worry. I told Mr. Chambers that you suffered a minor injury in the car accident, so he was not suspecting anything.”

Ophelia smiled weakly, “Jimmy, thank you.”

“I am paid to take care of you. Don't thank me. I thought we became familiar with each other.”

“Ok.”

Zachariah arrived an hour earlier than Jimmy had expected. As soon as he entered the ward, he walked toward Ophelia and said coldly, “Why didn't you tell me that you were injured?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Ophelia smiled and said coquettishly, “Are you worried about me?”

Jimmy saw that they were flirting, and quietly walked out.

Zachariah took off his suit jacket, put it on the back-rest chair, and sat down, “Where were you injured?”

Ophelia glanced at him, opened her arms suddenly, and showed her weakness, “The car accident scared me to death. I thought I would never see you again. Can you hug me?”

Zachariah’s facial expression became serious, and then he stood up and embraced her into his arms. He raised his right hand, and maintained the posture for about ten seconds before putting his hands

down, gently patting her back, “I'm here. No one can hurt you anymore.”

Ophelia leaned quietly into his arms, smelling his warm breath to quiet down her anxiety and fear over Madeleine’s injury.

Zachariah saw the well-behaved Ophelia like an obedient kitten, he smiled faintly.

“Are you really frightened? You are acting like a baby now.” Zachariah rarely said with such tenderness.
