Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 30 James

“Zachariah!” There came a male voice with obvious accent.

Zachariah and Ophelia saw a tall man. Ophelia recognized that he was one of the experts Zachariah invited from abroad.

This man was tall and handsome. He wore a doctor's uniform and looked abstinent. If he took off his uniform, one would believe that he was a professional model.

“James.” Zachariah walked to the man and greeted him in their unique way.

“Zachariah, I haven't seen you for years. You are getting more and more handsome, but you forgot your bro. If it wasn't for your wife, you totally forget about me.” James spoke the local language in a strange manner, but his expression was sincere.

Zachariah just kept smiling, and then introduced Ophelia to him, “This is my wife, Ophelia. The lady you saved just now is her best friend.” Then he introduced James to Ophelia, “Ophelia, this is James, my classmate when I was studying abroad.”

Ophelia stretched out her hand and smiled, “Nice to meet you, James.”

James was enthusiastic and hugged her, kissing her on both cheeks, and said, “Beautiful lady, are you really Zachariah's wife? What a pity! I wanted to ask for your phone number and invite you for coffee. I didn’t expect that you are already taken. There is an old saying that you shouldn’t keep thinking about your best friend’s wife. It seems that I am not the lucky guy.”

Ophelia smiled naturally and gracefully, “Any girl would adore a man like you.”

James smiled brightly and said, “I rarely return these years. What you said made my heart beat faster. Zachariah, let's go to the bar for a drink.”

Zachariah lowered his head and looked at Ophelia, and she smiled and said, “Go ahead. I'll be fine.”

Zachariah nodded and said, “Okay, I'll call Jimmy to accompany you.”

“No need, I’m Okay. When Madeleine is better, I will cook some delicious dishes to thank James.”

James was a born local. Although he didn’t speak the local language very well, he still had a good understanding of local etiquette and customs.

“You should go with us. I will ask two nurses to take care your friend. Don't worry, they would take good care of your friend.”

Ophelia shook her head and said with a smile, “Go ahead, when Madeleine recovers, I will cook for you to show my appreciation for your efforts to save her.”

“Then I am really lucky to get something nice to eat.”

After Zachariah and James left, Ophelia stood outside the window and looked at Madeleine. It took her an hour before she went back to rest.

A nurse came early the next morning to inform her that Madeleine was awake and was transferred to a general ward.

Ophelia hurried out of her ward with excitement written on her face and walked towards the general ward where Madeleine stayed.

As soon as she entered the ward, she found that Madeleine had opened her eyes, but there was an oxygen mask on her face, and she was pale.

Ophelia walked over with a sense of nostalgia, and said emotionally, “Madeleine, thank god you are awake. You really scared me to death.”

Madeleine couldn't move, but blinked her eyes at Ophelia, meaning she was okay.

Ophelia was laughing to tears. After a while, she said, “Madeleine, I'm afraid my baby and me won't be able to live without you. You are our savior, thank you.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Madeleine tried to move her hands, but she didn't have any strength at all. She shook her head gently, but Ophelia was worried.

“Madeleine, don't move! You have finally woke up, what if you got hurt again?” Ophelia hurriedly stopped her.

Madeleine just looked at her quietly, and Ophelia compromised finally, “I said the wrong thing. We are family; I shouldn’t say so to make you feel like an outsider.”

Upon hearing her words, Madeleine blinked happily again.

Ophelia was amused by her, and the haze buried in her mind dissipated.

The next day, Zachariah came to the hospital and asked Ophelia out. He said in a cold voice, “I'm going to Viskov. The destination of my business trip has changed. When I come back, we will discuss our divorce. As for your friend, there is nothing serious now. I have asked James to take care of her, so don’t worry.”

Hearing his words, Ophelia was somewhat disappointed. She thought Zachariah's rushing back this time meant that their marriage took a turn for the better, but it seemed that she was just too optimistic about future.

However, Zachariah helped save Madeleine, and she shouldn be grateful, so she managed a smile and said, “If you are busy, you can leave first. When you arrive at Viskov, just call me to let me know you are safe.”

Zachariah nodded and said, “Then I’ll get go now. Take care.”

Ophelia nodded and watched Zachariah leaving without turning his head back.

When Zachariah was out of her sight, Ophelia forced a wry smile, and touched her belly, and said, “Baby, your dad insists on divorcing me. It seems that you can only stick to me, and let’s help each other in difficulties.”
