Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 475

Madeleine became irritable. Ophelia was uncharacteristically reticent and it wasn’t like her. Madeleine could barely recognize the girl she had known.

She understood how it felt but she disapproved of Ophelia’s repressing.

“Say something, darling. I don’t like the way you are because it makes me worried. Why don’t you tell Zachariah? I don’t think there is anything worth hiding about your eyes. What on earth are you afraid of? ”Madeleine got a bit angry.

“It is not that I don’t want to tell him! I just don’t know how!”

Ophelia suddenly burst out.

It took Madeleine by surprise.

Ophelia continued yelling, “I don’t need all of you to remind me all the time that I am going to be blind! You think you’re doing good for me but each time you say about it, my heart sinks. I have my own dignity and my pride, and I really can’t accept it!”

“You can call me coward, but could you please just leave me alone? Are you happy to hurt me over and over again?”

The she cried with hands covering her face.

Madeleine was mortified and she took her hands from the wheel. Both hands shaking, fumbled in the air.

“Darling, please, that’s not what I meant.”Madeleine licked her lips and said.

Ophelia slowly calmed down after expressing. She wiped away tears with hands and looked up at Madeleine apologetically.

“I’m sorry, Madeleine. I freaked out. I didn’t mean to shout at you. Please do not take it personally,” she said.

Madeleine apologized as well, “No, I am sorry. I don’t know it can hurt you so much. I thought you might get over it more easily after the car accident. I truly don’t know that you would... ”

Ophelia shook her head with a bitter smile.

She did have gone through pain and suffering from life and death. But no sane person could stay calm when facing the cruel fact of his being blind.

“Darling, you and Zachariah are married, and I still believe it would be better if you tell him the matter. He may not appreciate your courage when he knows you keep all inside alone. Instead, he will be happy if you can lean on him a bit,” Madeleine elaborated her idea after consideration.

Ophelia sat on the passenger seat, saying nothing. After a time, she tried to change the subject, “Let’s go to the hospital first.”

Madeleine considerately stopped asking and started the engine.

They soon arrived at Saint Maria Hospital. Ophelia was transferred to another doctor as Dr. Gibson had asked a day off for personal reason.

“Have a seat, please. I am Charles Watson, and I’ll help Miss Ophelia in today’s consultation.” Mr. Watson motioned Ophelia to a chair and said, “Dr. Gibson has told me about your condition. Do you mind if I take a look at your medical records?”

Ophelia took out her chart which mainly recorded the results of a brain scan and she had read them before.

Mr. Watson pored over her records and stated, “Well, I’ve got a general apprehension of your condition. To be frank, it’s not looking good. The blood clot spreads fast and it has practically covered your optic nerve. The risk of operation is over 70 percent as many nerves in your brain are compressed.”
