Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 427

She was a mother, and she would be glad to see Zach and Ophelia could be happy and loving for the rest of their lives. Her mistake was now putting a wedge between the two, which made her feel terrible.

"Please don't be like this, son. Ophelia is a nice woman, and I'm sure she would understand the efforts you made. Go to bed now. We'll get things clear tomorrow. You're making me worried."

Finally, Zach went back to his bedroom.

Helena sighed and went back, too. Steffan wasn't asleep. He leaned on the bed and asked, "What has taken you so long?"

Helena walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down. Then she pressed close to Steffan and said in disappointment, "Honey, I think Zach is really obsessed with Ophelia. I'm glad she and Ophelia get along well... it's just... I don't think they'll see each other eye to eye from now on."

Steffan said, "Don't worry, Ophelia is a very considerate person. Give her some time, and she'll come around."

That was the only thing they could do now.

Helena didn't fall asleep until 5 o'clock in the morning, neither did Madeleine and Ophelia. They stared at the dark ceiling of the room, eyes widely open. They heard some of the conversations between Helena and Zach. Ophelia wanted to go out and be in Zach's arms, asking him why he would let go of the murderer who intended to hurt her and Tommy.

She had the impulsion, but she suppressed it rationally.

It was almost dawn when Ophelia fell asleep, and she woke at eight. She looked aside and found Madeleine was missing.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to see Madeleine coming out of the bathroom.

"You're awake?"

Ophelia patted her own head which felt sore from the insomnia last night. Her immune system had been weakened during the car accident. After she gave birth to Tommy, she couldn't go home and had full rest. The hospital was well equipped, but she still felt something was missing.

Madeleine walked over and rubbed Ophelia's hair.

"Have you been thinking about it last night? You don't look very well." Madeleine said.

Ophelia said drowsily, "I couldn't sleep. Rub harder. My head ached terribly."

Madeleine said angrily and lovingly, "Honey, I don't mean to criticize you... You haven't fully recovered yet! You've broken several bones during the car accident, and you should feel lucky you didn't die from it. Stop torturing yourself for a person you have nothing to do with! Is it really worth it?"

Ophelia let out a wry smile.

Madeleine didn't want to blame her too much; she stopped and kept rubbing her head.

Soon they heard someone knocking at the door. The maid said outside the door, "Young Mister, Miss Lowe, are you awake? Mrs. Chambers called you upstairs to have breakfast."

Madeleine said in a high voice, "OK. Just wait a minute."

The maid then left.

Madeleine put her hand down and asked, "Feeling better now?"

Ophelia nodded. "Thank you. Madeleine."

Madeleine shrugged and said, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. We have a fight later on."
