Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 397 Tommy Chambers

Helena chilled herself out and asked the servants to get some nutritious food for Ophelia. Then she went to the hospital with Steffan. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

When they entered the ward, Ophelia was still sleeping with Zachariah sitting beside to watch her quietly.

Her heart was stuffed with guilt. She put down the food and stroked Ophelia’s head lovingly. She asked softly, “Is she gonna wake up?”

Zachariah shook his head and replied in a low voice, “She just fell asleep.”

Helena waved her hand to beckon him over, “Zach, let’s talk outside the ward.”

Zachariah stood up and followed her out of the door.

“What’s the matter, mom?” Zachariah seemed to notice what they were going to talk about.

Helena said seriously while looking at him, “I assume you have known the one who conspired the car crash, right?”

Zachariah nodded.

Helena said after some consideration, “Zachariah, your sister has paid her price. I have expelled her to make her struggle her own life.”

Zachariah took a look at her. Of course, he knew that was the maximum compromise of his mom.

“Mom, I won’t do anything to hurt her. But nor will I offer any help even if she is badly in need. I could never forgive the one who dared to conspire against my wife and my son. Even if she is my sister.”

Helena sighed. Indeed, his attitude about Savannah was justified enough. However, she was still Savannah’s mother. She could never just stand by while watching her own daughter being destroyed even though she had committed something heinous.

“Zach, I know Savannah did the wrong thing this time. I am so mad and disappointed. But after all, no one is born to be a saint making no mistake for a lifetime. And so is she. Just deem it a lesson for her. She is still young enough to redeem herself. Just do her a favor if you can. Please don’t turn a blind eye on her need. Savannah and you are the most important things to me in the world. I don’t wish either of you to suffer.”

Her voice sounded sincere, nearly close to entreating.

Zachariah stared at her with mixed feelings.

Helena seemed to be a bit guilty while facing his gaze.

“Mom, have you ever thought about Ophelia’s feeling when mentioning this request? Have you ever thought about your grandson now sleeping in the nursery room? It has been a few days after his birth. But she didn’t even have a chance to take a look at him. She couldn’t even laugh because her body ached all over. There is still a blood clot pressing against her nerve in her brain, risking her eyesight. You claimed that you loved her just as if she were your girl. But now you try to convince me to forgive the culprit who planned to murder her?”

Helena fell into silence. Her face was covered with inexpressible pain.

Both Ophelia and Savannah meant the same precious to Helena. Abandoning either would only make her suffer.

She treated Ophelia just as her own girl, but only Savannah was her daughter by blood. No matter how disappointed she claimed to be with Savannah, she still tried all means to bail her out.

After all, it was Helena herself who gave birth to her and brought her up with great care. There was no way she would simply dump her own girl.

Bothered by emotions, Zachariah replied with low voice, “Mom, no matter out of what reasons you insisted, I have to make it clear—I won’t forgive Savannah, temporarily. But it will depend on Ophelia whether she deserves my help in the future. If she still failed to learn her lesson, I would be sorry to declare that I would only favor my wife and son. After all, it will be Ophelia who spends the rest of my life together with me. As for my sister, with all due respect, she will still marry someone else and be part of the family of others. Of course, she will be biased toward her husband by then. And it’s understandable for me. Mom, for that reason, I don’t think I can show no favor to either.”

Helena fixed her eyes on the door closed. Mixed feelings surged up in her heart all of a sudden, jamming and hard to vent all out.

But after all, he was now facing his mom. Zachariah softened his tone, looking less uncompromising.

“Mom, don’t worry about her. She should pay the price because of her own fault. And I don’t intend to intervene. By the time she gets married, I will still offer her a great dowry. After all, she is still known as the daughter of the Chambers. She deserves something better. And I am sure Ophelia would be kind enough to agree with me.” Said Zachariah.

Helena nodded.

“Zach, please don’t tell Ophelia that it was Savannah who conspired all these. I don’t wish a greater feud between them.”

Zachariah nodded.

“Mom, I don’t intend to tell her about it either. I just want her to stay away from the dark.”

Helena sighed.

She could tell now a greater prejudice against Savannah had been generated in his mind. Though they were once brother and sister with nice kinship, it ended up miserably. There was no doubt that it was a retribution for Savannah.

Then both the mother and son stopped the topic out of acquiescence.

And no one ever talked about the fact that Savannah was the culprit.

After the thoughtful care of Zachariah, Ophelia was under quick recovery. After half a month in the hospital, she now could start to walk herself around the ward.

Sitting on the wheelchair, Zachariah took her to the nursery room to see her own son under the permission of the nurse.

Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw the fair face of her son at the first sight.

Her son looked so adorable with cute face. His brows and nose looked really alike Zachariah’s. His skin was fair and tender. She couldn’t help fixing her eyes on him all day long.

Ophelia reached out her hand and fancying touching him. But she was worried if his skin would be too tender to avoid being scratched by her rough palm. She looked at the nurse with puppy eyes.

The nurse smiled, “Mrs. Chambers, just feel him as you want to. The baby is not that weak as you expect. But please don’t touch him too frequently. His skin is still tender.”

Not until then did she feel relieved. She carefully touched his little cheek. The soft feelings rendered her intoxicated.

“Zach, look! This is our son.” Happiness glimmering in her eyes, “His face is so soft and adorable.”

Zachariah smoothed her hair and said lovingly, “He really stays quiet today. Perhaps it’s because he also learns that his mom has come to see him.”

Ophelia smiled with her heart stuffed with bliss.

“What if he could stay awake? I really want to know if his eyes look like yours or mine.” Ophelia said casually.

“I hope he shares the same eyes as yours because you have pretty eyes. I hope his eyes to be glowing and watery enough to soften whoever he meets.” Zachariah showed his appreciation about Ophelia though indirectly.

Ophelia responded with a sweet glimpse.

The nurse couldn’t help chuckling, “Mr. Chambers, you really share a sweet relationship with your wife.”
