Chapter 280 Could You Come Up

The emotions in Zachariah’s eyes were complicated.

But Mrs. Gwylan got angrier when she saw his silence. She slapped him directly and cried, “Do you still
have a heart? Didn't you claim to love Cora? Now she ends up like this, why don’t you feel anything at
all?”

Zachariah just looked at the back of Mrs. Gwylan’s head and said in a voice so calm that it was almost
indifferent, “She's being pushed out.”

Mrs. Gwylan turned around, then trotted over.

“Sweetie.”

The nurse hurriedly said, “Keep your voice down, Madam, the patient is still in a coma, don't wake her
up.”

Mrs. Gwylan silenced immediately.

Cora was pushed back into the ward and Zachariah followed her in.

The nurse went out after finished her job. Mrs. Gwylan looked at Cora, who was wearing an oxygen
mask on the hospital bed and her face was as pale as paper, her heart was throbbing with pain.
Although she criticized Cora, Cora was her daughter anyway. She was the most painful one when
anything happened to Cora.

Mrs. Gwylan’s eyes were red and she said sadly, “Looking at her like this, do you really feel nothing at
all?”

Zachariah looked at the unconscious Cora on the hospital bed with a complicated gaze, and his heart
was also full of mixed feelings. Even if he behaved very cold and heartless, he once loved this woman



after all. He can’t make a clean break with her at this moment unless he really had no heart.

“Mrs. Gwylan, I was the last one who wants to see her like this. But do you think after all that has
happened, I can still be with her and pretend that nothing has happened?”

Zachariah asked.

Mrs. Gwylan didn’t know what to say.

If she were Zachariah, she might not have been so calm to be with Cora. After all, no man would want
the woman lying next to him to play tricks behind his back. She understood this, but can’t understand
Zachariah.

“Zachariah, Cora did not hurt anyone, even if she intended to get rid of Ophelia's child, but she did not
do it. It’s just like a person has a motive to kill, but he did not kill anyone after all, can you say he is
guilty? A person has to commit a crime before he can be found guilty, right? But Cora didn’t do
anything, don’t you think it’s not fair for her?”

Mrs. Gwylan argued wryly.

Zachariah laughed because of extreme anger.

“You mean I have to wait for the baby in Ophelia’s belly to be aborted before I pretend to go after the
culprit?”

Mrs. Gwylan stated, “You misunderstood me. I just want to say that Cora only had that idea, but after
all, she did not put it into action. She just miscarried, but the woman by your side is about to have your
children, she’s more or less upset, not willing to accept the fact. The doctor said she has miscarriage
depression, and if we don't take good care of her, she may really be depressed. So I’m begging you,



don't leave Cora at this time, or she will really break down. She is not a wicked woman, you can't just
put her into hell.”

Zachariah pulled a long face and pondered.

Mrs. Gwylan continued, “Just think about the good memories you had with Cora, can you really cut it
off with her? You’re a good man, or Cora wouldn't be so devoted to you. Just don’t give up on her so
easily this time, okay?”

Zachariah spoke, his voice a little hoarse, “I’ll think about it. Even if she and I are not lovers in the
future, I will love her as my own sister.”

Mrs. Gwylan sighed.

“Cora never wanted you to be her brother. When she's better, you two can talk properly. She’s now
reproductively challenged, which is fatal to a woman. If you do not want her, the rest of her life is mostly
ruined.”

The most important thing for the rich family was the heir, especially the preference for male children,
otherwise who will inherit such a large family business?

Cora only had herself to blame for this, but…

Zachariah’s fist slowly clenched, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He said, “I need some air
and I'm going out for a cigarette, just give me a call when Cora wakes up.”

After saying that, he directly turned around and went out.

Zachariah came to the stairway, his upright body leaning on the railing. He took out a cigarette, lit it, put
it in his mouth and took a drag, then spit it out.



His eyes became deeper in the smoke, not knowing what he was thinking.

After almost five minutes, he took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number. After it was picked up,
he said with a slightly hoarse and low voice, “Ophelia, are you still in the hospital?”

Ophelia on the other side of the phone heard his voice and obviously froze for a moment. She said
hesitantly, “Mr. Chambers, what happened to you?”

“Could you come up?” Zachariah hung up the phone after he said where he was, and Ophelia was a bit
confused but more worried after Zachariah hung up the phone. She cared about Zachariah, even they
had a little disagreement not long ago.

Madeleine, who was beside Ophelia, asked, “What's going on?”
