Chapter 272 Let Her Go
Madeleine glowered at them and said with a sneer, “Miss Fletcher, didn’t you just have a miscarriage? I heard that women with a miscarriage are physically weak and need to be well maintained. Why did you get out of bed? You are still so shamelessly lying in the arms of someone else’s husband. Aren’t you afraid of being drowned by spitting? Aha, you are such a shameless woman. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have shown affection to a man in public. But why do I feel so disgusting when I see it?”
Cora’s face changed.
Madeleine continued, “Cora, a woman’s self-esteem and self-love are important. You are so shameless. As a woman, I feel ashamed of you.”
Cora’s good-looking face was a bit hideous.
“Zach...” Cora gave a cry of grievance, and the voice made all the women present get goosebumps.
Ophelia pulled Madeleine aside and said, “Madeleine, knock it off! Here is the hospital. Let’s talk about it after we go back.”
Madeleine turned her head to look at Ophelia and clearly saw the injury flashing in her eyes. Then her anger dissipated like the air in a punctured balloon.
She took Ophelia’s hand to give her invisible strength and whispered, “Darling, don’t be afraid. I will be with you.”
Ophelia nodded slightly. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Tassach also subconsciously stood behind Ophelia and said, “Ophelia, let’s go.”
Madeleine said, “The air here is too muddy, Let’s go take another elevator. Standing here will smoke people to death.”
Tassach’s hand was placed on Ophelia’s shoulder. Perhaps the image of Zachariah holding Cora in his arms irritated Ophelia so much that she did not show rejection for Tassach’s deliberate closeness.
Looking at the two being so close, Zachariah’s eyes suddenly became very gloomy. He held on to Cora’s hand with increasing force, and Cora cried out in pain.
“Zach, you hurt me,” Cora said sadly.
Cora spoke so grievously that she caught everyone’s attention. Madeleine’s burning eyes wanted to burn her. As for Ophelia, she gave Zachariah a look of injury.
Ophelia looked up at Tassach, “Tassach, let’s go upstairs. I don’t think you look particularly well.”
Tassach looked at her with great surprise. Even if he knew that Ophelia might use him to irritate Zachariah, he was still overjoyed.
He looked at Ophelia with great fondness, “Okay, let’s go upstairs.” This sentence was ambiguous. It seemed to mean, “Okay, let’s go home.”
When Zachariah heard this, his face was completely black. He let go of Cora, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed Ophelia’s shoulder. With a slight force, Ophelia fell into his arms.
At the thought of another woman being held in his arms, Ophelia suddenly felt particularly sick. The physical discomfort made her struggle violently. She said angrily and sadly, “Zachariah, you let me go.”
Zachariah hugged her tighter, and Ophelia struggled even harder.
Madeleine trotted over, beat Zachariah’s arm vigorously, and said angrily, “Zachariah, let her go. Ophelia is still pregnant. If you hurt her and the child, I will never let you off.
Only then did Zachariah come to his sense, and his arms around Ophelia relaxed a little.
Ophelia also calmed down and said in a voice that was neither hostile nor friendly, “Mr. Chambers, can you let me go first? It’s not good to be seen cuddling in public. I am not as cheeky as you and Miss Fletcher.”
Zachariah said patiently with a sullen face, “It was a misunderstanding just now. I will explain it to you clearly when I go home.”
Ophelia’s eyes flashed with a trace of loss. If Zachariah admitted it generously, she wouldn’t have been so upset. But she did not expect that Zachariah, who had always been frank and disdainful of lying, would learn to act dumb.
Ophelia pushed his arms away, “You still need to accompany Miss Fletcher. I won’t bother you.”
Cora also leaned forward, took his arm, and said weakly, “Zach, my wound is a little bit painful. Can you hold me up?”
Zachariah looked at Ophelia with mixed emotions. Ophelia stubbornly raised her chin and said, “Mr. Chambers, hurry up and hold your little girl to go up. If she’s got something wrong, you can’t blame me for it again.”
Cora threw a disdainful and smug smile at Ophelia when Zachariah was not paying attention. In the blink of an eye, she pretended to be very innocent and said, “Zach, let’s go. Miss Ophelia also has to accompany Mr. Conduibh. She doesn’t have much time to accompany you. Miss Ophelia, am I right?”
Ophelia gave her a complicated look, then turned to Tassach and said, “Tassach, let’s go.”
After speaking, she walked to the elevator on the other side.
Zachariah wanted to follow, but he didn’t expect his arm to be tightly hugged, and Cora said with innocence, “Zach, do you regret it?”
