Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 409 Upset

She looked thinner and more haggard, But her beauty still remained.

Ophelia was rendered a bit awkward by his gaze. She dodged his eye contact and said, “Tassach, welcome. Come on, take a seat.”

Tassach stood still, lost in thought.

Madeleine sneered, “Hey, stop staring at her. I bet you will have your eyeballs gouged out if you keep doing so.” Of course, she was referring to Zachariah, whose eyes were burning with hostility.

Tassach soon collected himself and cleared his voice, “Ahem, sorry.”

Ophelia glanced at Madeleine and smiled, “Tassach, please don’t mind it. She was just joking. She didn’t mean to offend you.”

Tassach shook his head to say seriously, “Ophelia, you know about me. I have heard something more offensive from Madeleine.”

Ophelia nodded, “Tassach, please sit down.”

So he sat on a couch.

Zachariah walked over to kiss Ophelia, simply ignoring everyone present. Then he asked softly, “Are you feeling good today?”

Ophelia gently pushed him against his chest to say awkwardly, “Zach, stop. It’s so embarrassing.”

But Madeleine didn’t seem to care, “Girl, just pretend that you are now staying with Zachariah alone and do whatever you want. After all, I have seen the same thing for so many times during these days. I would have run away if I felt sick when seeing your PDA.”

Though Ophelia was rendered bashful with blush on her face, the happiness shown on her expression was noticeable.

Tassach forced out a smile. But a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. His heart felt like being torn apart violently, bleeding.

Though it had only been a month, Ophelia looked much more gorgeous. But it wasn’t led by a change of a better look. Instead, she glowed with beauty because of feeling being blessed.

Tassach was aware of the impossibility of his relationship with Ophelia. The woman he truly loved was now captured by another man.

His heart was stuffed with mixed feelings. Of course, he did wish Ophelia a blissful life. But he also hoped that it was he himself who played the role of Romeo.

“Tassach, have you recovered?” Ophelia’s voice pulled him back to the reality.

Tassach collected himself to reply, sounding distraught still, “What?”

Ophelia didn’t notice his emotion. But Madeleine seemed to tell something different. She cast a glimpse at him.

“Have you recovered from the illness?” Ophelia asked again.

“Almost. But my mom insisted that I should stay for a few more days as she still worried about it.” Said Tassach honestly.

After pondering for a while, he asked, “Ophelia, why don’t you tell me about the car crash? If it weren’t because of someone else who told me about it, I would have been kept in the dark forever.”

Ophelia smiled, “Tassach, I don’t mean to keep it from you. I was in coma after the car crash. I didn’t wake up until the urgent surgery has been continuously conducted for a few days. Even the surgeon has issued a notice of my critical condition. And I knew nothing about it until Madeleine told me that after I woke up. The car crash really pushed me to the edge of death. As soon as I woke up, both Zach and Madeleine have been carefully tending me. It’s quite troublesome. So I don’t want you to be bothered.”

Tassach felt heartbroken as he noticed that Ophelia still viewed him as one of those strangers.

“I am glad to know that you are fine.” Tassach said bitterly.

Ophelia took a look at Zachariah, feeling embarrassed.

Madeleine took the chance to cut in, “Hey, why don’t you bring some supplement for her today? You just drop by with bare hands?”

Tassach felt awkward and apologized.

Ophelia looked at Madeleine disapprovingly, “Madeleine, don’t be so mean.”

Madeleine shrugged and smiled, “I was just kidding. But I know he must be generous enough to accept my suggestion. Am I right about that, Tassach?”

He just nodded in silence. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

After staying for a while, Tassach felt uneasy while being a witness of Zachariah’s care for Ophelia. So he stood up, “Ophelia, I gotta go back to my ward. I don’t want my mom to be worried after I have left for so long. I didn’t bring my phone so I need to get back to show her I am fine. See you another day.”

Ophelia was about to get off the bed to walk him out. But Tassach hurried to stop, “Ophelia, just stay on the bed. I can go by myself. Take a rest.”

So Ophelia lay down again.

Madeleine suddenly asked, “Girl, let me do your job to walk him back. By the way, I fancy some snacks outside. So do you want something to eat? What about Mr. Chambers?”

Ophelia shook her head.

“Alright, I gotta walk him back. Just enjoy your romantic moment with Mr. Chambers.”

Ophelia was speechless. She took a glimpse at Tassach, who wore a poker face. But a trace of pain flashed in his eyes again. Ophelia only responded with silence.

Both of them walked out of the ward. But unlike the usual days, Tassach was abnormally silent. He felt like losing all his energy.

Madeleine was a bit uneasy. So she nudged him, “Hey, you feel bad when witnessed their nice relationship with your own eyes? Hey, the Tassach Conduibh I know about will never give up chasing for love that easily. Or is it because now you have realized the gap between you and Zachariah is so huge that you find it impossible to get through? So that’s why you give up?”

Tassach shook his head.

Madeleine shivered a bit, “Damn, that’s chill to see your frustrated face. Come on, man yourself up if you are a man! Keep your head straight!”

Tassach took a glimpse at her, smiling, “I really sighed with emotion when seeing her happy face. Though it has been only a month. It makes me feeling like dreaming when I meet her again.”

Madeleine couldn’t help shivering again, getting goose bumps all over.

“Hey, stop, no need to be so sentimental! You get me goose bumps!” said Madeleine.
