Chapter 477 I Am Afraid of Going Blind

Ophelia didn’t know that the decision she made today really helped her a lot in the future when she was
getting divorced with Zachariah to avoid his speculation. As promised, Ted was guarding Tommy to
grow up with his life and regarded Tommy as his own son. Even Zachariah would get jealous with Ted’s
good relation with Tommy and wished he could travel back time so that he would never send Ted by
Ophelia’s side. What Zachariah did was finding himself trouble.

Ophelia was in a better mood after reaching an agreement with Ted. She teased Tommy a while in the
infant room when the door was pushed open.

Both Ophelia and Ted turned around at the same time. After finding who was there, Ted, who was by
Ophelia’s side, stepped back subconsciously and kept a distance from her.

Zachariah suddenly showed a mysterious look. However, he soon hid it.

He strode forward and directly stood by Ophelia’s side. He deliberately softened his words and asked,
“When did you get back?”

Ophelia looked at him and replied, “I just came back and wanted to see Tommy. I haven’t seen him for
the whole morning. I miss him so much.”

Zachariah bowed to kiss Tommy on the forehead and remarked, “Tommy, I am dad.”

Tommy, who was active at first, purled his lips and suddenly cried out loudly when seeing Zachariah.

Zachariah showed an awkward expression. He never expected his own son would make him lose face.

Ted strode forward and picked up Tommy carefully. He comforted Tommy in his arms. Not knowing if
they had a tacit connection or Tommy really liked Ted, within a short while, Tommy stopped crying in his
arms and the tear stains were still hanging on his face.



Tommy’s behaviour made three of them have different thinking.

Ted was afraid that Zachariah would think too much and explained rigidly, “Boss, Tommy still judges
from smell to distinguish his friend.”

Zachariah was in a worse mood when hearing his explanation.

It turned out that his own son liked another man more, making them feel like really father and son in
blood, while Tommy’s real father was abandoned outside their relation. Zachariah didn’t know how to
describe this feeling. He had a mixed feelings of frustrated and jealous, anyway, Ted’s existence really
made him uncomfortable.

Zachariah changed another topic, noting, “Take good care of Ted.”

After saying those words, he directly turned around and left.

Ophelia was afraid that Zachariah would think too much. She hurriedly said, “Ted, take care of Tommy.
I will go to check him.”

Ted nodded.

Ophelia then trotted out the infant room.

After getting back to the bedroom, Ophelia’s heart couldn’t stop feeling hurt when seeing Zachariah,
who was standing by the window.

It was destined that there would be ups and downs in their marriage. Although they had just expressed
their true feelings, there were all kinds of things to stop their relation from moving forward.

Ophelia thought herself was a strong woman. However, the possibility that she was going to get blind
really pushed her back. She couldn’t take the fact that Zachariah was going to see her broken part and



she also couldn’t imagine Zachariah would gradually lose his patience because of her blindness.

As if getting caught by an invisible hand, her heart would be so painful when she thought there came a
day when Zachariah showed her a despised look.

She got the same level of feat just as how much she loved Zachariah. She was afraid that they would
be on the different paths, with she was simply his so-called wife and their life would diverge.

Rather than being familiar strangers, Ophelia wished to leave Zachariah when she still looked healthy,
which could at least leave Zachariah an impression that she was a wonderful woman instead of a
good-looking appearance in bad condition.

In summary, she was a coward who chose to retreat when facing the coming disability. It seemed she
didn’t understand Zachariah deeply. She was simply that instead of love, the reason Zachariah treated
her well was out of compassion. Hence, she got too frightened to tell Zachariah she could get blind and
the clot in her brain would threaten her life.

She was a complete coward. She was afraid that Zachariah felt more sympathetic for her compared
with his love. After all, in their five years marriage, everyone could sense Zachariah was treating her
coldly. It was hard for Ophelia to believe in a short time that Zachariah really loved her. In other words,
she couldn’t guarantee how long his love would last after she got blind.

Zachariah was a perfect man and could attract any kinds of woman as long as he wanted. However,
she would be a worthless woman after getting blind.

Ophelia already had an inferior feeling even before she turned blind. Her low self-esteem climbed up
her veins and hurriedly spread out to leave a giant void deep in her heart, wrapping her true self inside
tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, it was hard for her to get out of that cocoon she weaved by
herself.



With a mixed feeling, seeing Zachariah’s back, Ophelia was filled with sorrow. Noticing her gaze,
Zachariah remarked, “What are you looking at? How long will you stay there?”

Ophelia was pulled in the reality. She hurriedly hid her sad look and walked towards Zachariah.

Zachariah turned around and watched her to approach him without moving.

Ophelia stood in front of him and pretended nothing happened, noting, “Are you getting angry because
Tommy has a good relation with Ted?”

Zachariah showed her a deep look and didn’t say anything.

Ophelia smiled and asked, “Are you really angry?”

“A little. No man will be happy when seeing his own son has a good relation with another man.”
Zachariah nodded and replied in honesty.

Ophelia couldn’t stop laughing out and noted deliberately, “Well, it is you who sent Ted to protect me.
Why are you jealous of him now? Well, others will say that you’re a narrow-minded man.”

Zachariah put his hand around Ophelia’s wrist and converted another topic.

“Where did you go with Madeleine today?” Zachariah asked beside her ears.

Ophelia subconsciously moved her ears, which were already turning red.

Zachariah was teased by her reaction. He loved her real side so much.

“Your ears are turning red. It’s so cute.” Zachariah raised up his hands to touch her ears and smiled.



Ophelia’s ears moved subconsciously because of shyness. However, she also got alerted because of
Zachariah’s deliberate approach.

Although she always reminded herself to keep a distance from Zachariah, when he really approached
her, all of her warning would fall apart.
