Chapter 273 What Should I Do

Zachariah looked down at her with a very complicated look. He sighed at last and said patiently, “Don’t
imagine too much. I will take you upstairs first.”

Cora grabbed his hand, buried herself in his arms tamely, and entered the elevator with him, “Zach,
don’t leave me. Our child has gone, and I can only depend on you. If you don’t want me, I don’t know if
I can survive.”

Zachariah’s eyes became more complicated.

“Good girl, I am here. You are the only child of the Fletcher family, with a high school degree and a
good job. You are a great girl. Even without me, you can still shine. You just have a little depression
after the miscarriage. When your body recovers, we will have children of our own in the future.”

Cora said weakly, “Zach, you scared me just now. You look at Ophelia as if you are in love with her. I’m
really afraid that you want her instead of me. I was panicked at the time so I just want to be held in your
arms to make sure that you are still mine. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”

Zachariah got a mixed feeling, and he was in no mood to persuade the poor woman who was crying.

Cora buried herself in his arms and said, “Zach, don’t leave me. I really love you. I love you so much.
Ophelia has been with you for almost five years, but I haven’t forgotten you even in Europe. You have
promised to marry me. You can’t forget your promise.”

Zachariah hugged her and said, “Don’t imagine too much. I’m here with you.”

Cora also knew the truth of moderation, so she didn’t blindly plead for Zachariah’s guarantee.

She said generously at the right time, “Zach, if you are afraid that Miss Ophelia will misunderstand you,
I can explain to her. Although I want to take you as my own, she is your wife after all, and she is still
pregnant with your child. I can’t be so selfish to deprive you and your child of the family happiness.”



Zachariah suppressed the emotions in his eyes and said, “Don’t imagine too much. Your physical
health is the most important thing now. As long as you are good, everything else will not be a problem.”

The corners of Cora’s lips twitched, and her mood brightened, “Zach, you must tell me if there is
anything. I can try to get along well with Miss Ophelia for the sake of you.”

Zachariah just hugged her to step out of the elevator and return to the ward.

When Mrs. Gwylan in the ward saw them coming back, she greeted them anxiously and said, “Cora,
where did you go? You just had an operation. The doctors have said you can’t move. Why don’t you
listen? It is a worry!” After she finished speaking, she looked at Zachariah again and accused,
“Zachariah, even if Cora is willful, why are you as ignorant as she is?”

Zachariah pulled a long face.

Cora said anxiously, “Mom, I asked Zach to take me out. It’s my fault. Don’t blame Zach for it.”

Mrs. Gwylan felt a deep sense of helplessness. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like split
water. But her daughter defended this man so much before she married. Would she still have this mom
in her eyes after she got married?

Mrs. Gwylan took a deep breath and said, “Zachariah, can you go out for a while? Cora and I have
something to say.”

Zachariah nodded, but when he was about to leave, Cora tightly grasped his arm.

“Zach, where are you going?” Cora asked pitifully like a vulnerable little girl.

“Don’t worry. I just go out for a while.”



Mrs. Gwylan took a deep breath to hold back her anger and said, “Cora, knock it off! Zachariah also
has his own business to do. I just want to talk to you.”

Cora thought for a while and finally had to say, “Zach, you can’t go far.”

Zachariah nodded.

After Zachariah got out of the ward, Cora’s pitiful appearance disappeared in an instant.

“Mom, how can you have such a bad attitude towards Zach? If you scare him away, what should I do?”
Cora complained.

Mrs. Gwylan felt suffocated and said, “Cora, can you make something of yourself?”

Cora sat on the bed carefully and said, “Mom, I missed nearly five years with him. If I still don’t make a
move, my man will be snatched away by another woman.”

“Even if you want a man, you can’t cling to him like an octopus. Do you know what you look like now?
You’re like a nymphomaniac who has never seen a man,” said Mrs. Gwylan.

“I’m already crazy for him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come up with the idea of a miscarriage. I now do
not know if I can still have children in the future,” exclaimed Cora. In her agitation, she clutched her
belly and hissed in pain.

Mrs. Gwylan really felt sorry for her and helped her to lie down on the bed.

Cora looked dull and murmured, “Mom, don’t blame me for being too scheming. I have no other choice.
Zach is more and more concerned about his indentured wife. Even though he spends a limited amount
of time with me every day, he is distracted most of the time. Sometimes he even smirks in a trance. I



know that the sweet smile on his face is definitely not because of me. I’m very afraid that his heart has
been stolen by that woman before he is conscious.

Mrs. Gwylan was angry and distressed. If she had known this, why would she have done this at the
beginning?

“If you love Zachariah, you shouldn’t have escaped marriage willfully four or five years ago. If you
didn’t, maybe now your child is three or four years old, and I can also be a grandmother. You come
back after nearly five years. How long do you think a man can last for love?”

Cora looked at her with helplessness in her eyes, “Mom, what should I do? I don’t want to change
almost beyond recognition because of Zach. I also want to treat him sincerely, but my youth let me
make a mistake. I’m afraid that one day he will hate me and stay away from me when he sees my true
features.”

Mrs. Gwylan covered her with a quilt and said, “Don’t imagine too much.”

Cora grabbed her hand and said, “Mom, I’m very scared. Zachariah cares about that woman more and
more. Now only you can help me. If you ignore me, I really don’t know what to do.”

Mrs. Gwylan sat on the chair and said, “How can I help you?”

“I don’t want Ophelia to give birth to this child.”
