Ophelia’s frayed nerves were soothed.
She answered the phone, “Hi.”
“What's the matter with you? Are you crying?” Zachariah's voice came through the phone.
Ophelia was like a child lost on her way, and started crying immediately before replying, “Zachariah, Madeleine was hit by a car. I'm so scared, I'm really scared…”
Zachariah's voice sounded deep over the phone, but it miraculously calmed her down, “Calm down first, and don't be panic. Answer my questions one by one, are you injured?”
Ophelia took a deep breath, as if she had found her sense of security. She was not as stressed as before when she heard his voice.
“Madeleine pushed me away, so the car didn't hit me.” Ophelia said truthfully.
“It’s good that you are okay. I will send Jimmy over. I will take the earliest flight back tomorrow. Please stop overthinking about it.”
Ophelia felt warm. Because of Zachariah's attitude, she was finally not so lost. Even though they were just a nominal couple, Zachariah’s words comforted her.
“Mr. Chambers, thank you.” Ophelia said sincerely.
Zachariah was stunned for a while, and his voice became deeper, “You are my wife and just survived a car accident. I should care about you. Don't think too much, I’m still in a meeting and I’ll fly back right after dawn. That’s it for now. I’ll hang up.”
Zachariah hung up the phone.
Although Zachariah did not comfort his panicking wife like other husbands in a kind manner, he suggest to send someone immediately, which showed that he did care about her, which he always said he didn’t.
After speaking with Zachariah on the phone, Ophelia seemed to have found a supporter, and soon calmed down.
Not long after, Jimmy rushed over.
She was a tall, young woman in her twenties. As soon as she walked in front of Ophelia, she said very politely, “Madam, I’m Jimmy, so just call me Jimmy like everyone else. I’m sent by Mr. Chambers.”
