Madeleine’s operation lasted for almost nine hours. A group of doctors walked out after the lights went out.
Ophelia walked towards them quickly and asked urgently, “How is my friend?”
“It is not optimistic. She survived, but has to be observed in the intensive care unit for 48 hours. If she can wake up, there will be no problem. Otherwise, she may become a vegetable. You should prepare yourself for that.”
Ophelia was dumbfounded completely, grabbing the doctor's hand, and asked nervously, “What do you mean? What does it mean that she will be a vegetable? She is such a good girl, how would she become a vegetable?”
Madeleine was her best friend and liked a family member to her. She can use her beauty and persuasiveness to deceive people for money, but she would never deceive Madeleine. They are family who depend on each other in this indifferent and unfamiliar city.
Madeleine might become a vegetable because of her. She was going crazy, her tummy was in a vague pain off and on due to excessive emotions, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Jimmy stepped forward to support her and comforted her, “Ophelia, please calm down, I think Miss Lowe will be fine.”
The doctors were also moved with compassion, and said, “Madam, Calm down. We will definitely try our best to save her.”
Ophelia leaned on Jimmy, her stomach worsened, and eventually she fainted.
When she woke up, she found herself in a bed, and Jimmy was sitting beside her.
Seeing Ophelia wake up, Jimmy said, “Madam, the doctor said you are pregnant for three months.”
With a pale face, Ophelia felt alarmed, and looked at Jimmy with alert, “What are you going to do?”
Jimmy glanced at her strangely, and said scrupulously, “Madam, pregnancy is a blessed thing. I am sure Mr. Chambers will be happy to know it.”
Ophelia calmed down and looked at Jimmy quietly, “Jimmy, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. You know the relationship between me and Mr. Chambers. If he knows that I’m pregnant, he would force me to do an abortion. There is no other way. You are also a woman, and I assume you don’t have the heart to see the baby aborted.”
Jimmy nodded and suddenly smiled, “Madam, I understand. My mission this time is to take care of you, which does not include telling Mr. Chambers about your pregnancy, so don't worry.”
Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, “Jimmy, I misunderstood you just now, and, thank you.”
Jimmy shrugged with a smile and said, “Don't mention that. I didn't do anything. Although I have never had a child, I like children very much. Besides, it’s your choice whether to tell Mr. Chambers about your pregnancy or not. I'm an outsider, so I shouldn’t get involved.”
Ophelia's expression finally became better.
