Chapter 100 Out of the Hospital
Ophelia said, “I don't know yet. I just have to play it by ear. The Chambers is a big and powerful family. I can give birth to my baby and keep it a secret when the family had no idea about my pregnancy, but now I have to be monitored.”
"What is the attitude of Zachariah Chambers?"
Ophelia shook her head. "He has a deep mind. I've been married him for four years, but I can seldom read him. he said I can give birth to the baby, in fact he meant that the baby must grow up in the Chambers family, and I will be deprived of my baby if there is a divorce.”
Madeleine also knew how powerful the Chambers family was in this city. If there was a divorce between Ophelia and Zachariah, Ophelia will be given a compensate, but she will never leave with the baby.
"Ophelia, would you like to leave the child in the Chambers family?"
"What if I wouldn’t? This car accident has messed up all my plans and I'm in a muddle now. All I can do is play it by ear."
Ophelia said in frustration.
Madeleine gave a bad idea, "Ophelia, don’t be a worry wart. Perhaps the family know that you are pregnant could be a good thing. You are with the family’s grandson, and the family are sort of reasonable. Mrs. Chambers is kind to you. As long as you deliver the baby, she will not allow you to leave your baby, leaving the baby of no mother. You can use Mrs. Chambers, and she can constrain Zachariah.”
Ophelia took a look at her and suddenly said, "I thought about that, but I wouldn’t like to get her involved into my marriage before I have to.”
"My dear, you are talking silly, you know that? You have to admit that she is your back stone now!”
Ophelia nodded.
She looked into Madeleine's eyes and said very seriously, "Madeleine, my mother-in-law is the only one who is good to me in the Chambers family. If possible, I don't want to cheat and use her, do you understand?"
"You have a too kind heart. When Zachariah wants to divorce from you, I'll see whether you will be still so kind or not.”

Madeleine thawed her bad face, saying, "Ophelia, I don't want to be a flippant old woman, talking about divorce and the baby. You have been smart and rational, so I hope you can have a plan. Otherwise, what you have done is just paving the road for others. If so, I will be very sorry for you."
Ophelia reached for an apple on the table and changed the subject. "Madeleine, I think you are thirsty after talking so much. You peel an apple and we share it.”
Madeleine did know that she was burying her head in the sand, but Madeleine still took the apple and peeled it. She cut the apple into blocks, then asked, “Ophelia, did the doctor say whether you can have fruits?”
"I have to be observed for another two days, and if there are no big deals, things that are not too greasy can be eaten."
"So I eat this apple all alone."
"Just take it. The apple is used to shut you down.” Ophelia laughed.
"Aren't you afraid of hurting my feelings, my dear?"
Ophelia sighed and said, "Madeleine, I know you're trying to do what's best for me, but now I don't have a sound plan, so I have to roll with it accordingly.”
Madeleine enjoyed her apple and changed the subject, "Just now I was talking nonsense because I am too worried about you. Please don't mind. The most important thing for you now is to rest and get better. We just leave those thing behind now.”
Ophelia Lowe agreed.
Ophelia stayed in the hospital for half a month or so, until the doctor said Ophelia and the baby are all good. Mrs. Chambers picked Ophelia up home with great pomp. Ophelia watched over ten Rolls Royce, she got awkward.
She reluctantly said, "Mom, I am just discharged of the hospital, and you don’t have to do so. Otherwise, the others will think that someone of a big name is here.”
Mrs. Chambers held her hand and got into the first car. "You are pregnant with the family's grandson, and you deserve it."
Ophelia felt pressure, "Mom, I haven't had my baby’s gender tested yet. Maybe it's a girl. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if I give birth to a daughter."
Mrs. Chambers didn’t seem to mind, "A granddaughter is also very good. It’s said that a daughter is mother's warm jacket. It doesn’t matter that the baby is a son or daughter. I will be kind to him or her.”
Ophelia laughed. "Mom, you've been so kind to me. I'm afraid I won't be able to live without you."
"Then you do not leave. You are the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family. After your father-in-law’s and my death, Zachariah will inherit all property of this family. You are his wife, and you need to help on running the company. All in all, you both will be the masters of this family in the future.
Ophelia Lowe just showed a smile.
Mrs. Chambers tried to comfort her, “Ophelia, all your task now is to have a good rest and nourish the fetus. I promise that you are my only daughter-in-law, if Zachariah harms you one day for other women, I will let him suffer a lot.”
Ophelia chuckled.
The two women got along quite happily. They soon arrived at the Chambers house, with smiles on their faces. However, the smiles faded away completely when they saw the person on the sofa in the living room.
