When Zachariah left, Ophelia sat on the bed blankly, and was startled by the phoneâs ringtone.
She picked up the phone in a flurry and saw the caller ID was Tassach, guilt flashing across her eyes.
Ophelia answered the phone, "Hello, Tassach."
Tassach asked with concern, "Have you left the hospital?"
"Yes, I just left today. Tassach, Iâm sorry for asking for a two-week leave when Iâve been working there for less than a month. Iâd better resign if that bothers you."
Tassach smiled and said, "Iâll keep the position for you. Itâs not a big deal, so donât take it to heart. Your health matters. If you still want to go to Shanghai for the orientation, I can keep a place for you."
Ophelia went silent.
About ten seconds later, she replied, "Tassach, I appreciate your help, but please donât keep a place of the orientation for me. Just leave it to some other new hire."
"Alright."
"Iâm well now, and I can go back to work tomorrow. Do you think itâs OK? Will it cause you any trouble?"
Tassach chuckled on the other end of the line and whispered, "You fool, just stop worrying. If you feel alright, you may come back to work tomorrow."
"Great."
"Have a good rest, and try your best to be that ambitious iron lady you used to be. I look forward to working with you."
Ophelia smiled. "I see. I wonât allow my personal affairs to interfere with my work."
"Have a good rest. Bye."
After hanging up, Ophelia went into a trance and said to herself, "Baby, your daddy is determined to marry Cora. Itâs not that your mommy wants to quit, but sheâs doomed to lose from the beginning in this love triangle."
Ophelia had sat on the bed for ten minutes before lying down. She closed her eyes and wanted to take a nap, but failed since her mind was in a turmoil.
She tossed and turned in bed, and all she could think about was Zachariah. Finally, she fell asleep.
It was 6 p.m. when Ophelia woke up. If it werenât for the servant calling her, she would have kept on sleeping. Ophelia had been drowsy all the time since she had got pregnant. She found it hard to keep her eyes open in her free time, while during work hours, she was in much better spirits, because the busy work kept her awake.
Ophelia went into the bathroom to wash up. Then she changed into a baggy dress before going downstairs.
Seeing Helena already sitting at the table, Ophelia gave a smile and walked towards her. "Helena, are you OK now?"
Helena smiled kindly. "Iâm alright. How come youâre alone? Whereâs Zachariah?"
Ophelia went silent for a moment and answered, "He has some business to attend to in the company. His subordinate called him and he left."
Helenaâs face darkened instantly. As a sophisticated woman, she knew what was going on. Business was simply an excuse, and Zachariah must have gone for Cora.
Ophelia comforted, "Helena, Zachariah does have some business to settle. It was one of his secretaries who called him personally."
Helena sighed secretly and hid her displeasure. She had Ophelia sit down next to her and said, "Since Zachariah is busy, letâs have dinner first. Itâs getting late, and I donât want to starve my grandbaby."
Savannah curled her lips in annoyance. "Mom, youâre flattering her. Sheâs just pregnant, and itâs nothing special. If an outsider saw you giving her such meticulous care, he would think that sheâs some remarkable figure."
Helena shot Savannah a faint glance and said, "Savannah, when you get pregnant, youâll know how hard it is to be a pregnant woman. You can either have dinner here quietly, or in your room."
Now Savannah said no more.
The servant served the hot dishes, and Helena said to Ophelia lovingly, "Ophelia, this is the special meal I asked them to cook according to what the nutritionist said. Have a taste and tell me if you like it."
Ophelia said, "Helena, you donât have to do this. Iâve hardly had any morning sickness for the past five months, nor have I been on a diet. I eat as usual, so you donât have to prepare a special meal for me. Otherwise, Iâll affect everyone elseâs appetite."
Savannah pursed her lips.
"Stop pretending. Since you act so well, why not just be an actress?" Savannah murmured.

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Helena darted her another glance and retorted, "Savannah, Ophelia is pregnant. Canât you be a little more accommodating? What if you upset her and thus she has a miscarriage?"
"Mom, itâs not like sheâs the only pregnant woman in this world. Cora is also pregnant with Zachariahâs baby. Besides, Zachariah and Cora..."
The chopsticks clattered on the floor.
Helena scowled at Savannah, saying, "Savannah Chambers, if you keep acting like this, Iâll ask dad to send you abroad for further study. I canât control you, but someone can. I donât want to be blamed for failing to discipline you."
Savannah bit her lip, feeling wronged.
"Mom, I donât like this woman. No matter sheâs pregnant with my nephew or not, I still donât like her. I canât get along with her until my next life."
Steffan cast a look at Savannah and said, "Savannah, stop! Ophelia seldom comes to stay overnight here. Donât piss your mother off, or else you wonât get any pocket money this month."
Finally, Savannah said nothing.
"Letâs start the dinner," Steffan said before everyone picked up the chopsticks.
