“No.” Mrs. Gwylan vetoed, “The doctor also said that it is difficult for you to get pregnant again, so
Ophelia must give birth to this child. After the child is born, you ask Zachariah to divorce her. Then you
keep the child by your side. When the child grows up, he will naturally be close to you. If she has a
miscarriage, and you can’t get pregnant, then surrogacy will be the only option. After all, the Chambers
family still needs an heir.”
A cruel color flashed in Cora’s eyes. “Mom, we will have our own child,” she said, clutching the while
quilt with her slender fingers.
“Cora, stop horsing around! Even the doctor said that it is difficult for you to get pregnant again. If
Ophelia also has a miscarriage, I’m afraid that it will be even more difficult for you to enter the
Chambers family.” After all, Mrs. Gwylan had lived through it. She could also see Mrs. Chambers’s
rejection of Cora.
“But I can’t stand another woman’s child. It seems like a betrayal.”
“You betrayed him first. If you didn’t escape marriage back then, will these things happen now?” Mrs.
Gwylan was both nervous and anxious, “You escaped marriage, and he got married. Do you still expect
him to remain pure? You naively hope that a man can do what you can’t even do.”
Cora said with a broken heart, “Mom, am I your daughter?”
“Because you are my daughter, I want you to be more awake. Don’t be like a child and ask men to do
so much for you all day long. Zachariah is not an ordinary man. He is too good, so many women like
him. What you should do is not to be jealous, but to become better and match him. You are the heir of
the Fletcher Group, and you have an artistic temperament. In a word, you are young, talented, and
beautiful. What are you worried about?” said Mrs. Gwylan.
Cora said, “Mom, I know I’m excellent, but Zach no longer rests his eyes on me. I’m really worried.”
Mrs. Gwylan poured her a glass of warm water and said, “Drink some water to warm up your body.
Don’t imagine too much. You have the Fletcher family behind you. The Fletcher family and the
Chambers family have been friends for many years. They won’t let you be wronged unless they want a
breakdown of the relationship.”
Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylan’s hand and said, “Mom, I don’t want Ophelia to give birth to a child. The
arrival of this child will definitely deepen the bond between her and Zach. Zach looks indifferent to
women on the outside, but he is actually very emotional. I’m afraid that he chooses not to divorce
Ophelia because of his child, and then I will be abandoned.”
Mrs. Gwylan looked a bit gloomy and said, “It’s nonsense.”
“Mom, you should know that I’m not talking nonsense.”
Mrs. Gwylan seemed to be absorbed in thought.
“Mom, I don’t want Ophelia to give birth to this child. You help me, okay?” Cora looked at Mrs. Gwylan
pitifully and said her wayward request.
Mrs. Gwylan fell into silence.
“Mom, I’m your only daughter. Do you really want to see me suffer?”
Mrs. Gwylan sighed and said, “Cora, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I do it all for your own good. If
Ophelia gives birth to this child, you may have less resistance to marrying into the Chambers family.
Otherwise, Helena won’t let you marry Zachariah.”
Cora lowered her eyelids and clutched the quilt tightly. Her hands were veined.
Mrs. Gwylan said, “Honey, if the conditions permit, I will try my best to get rid of the child in Ophelia’s
belly. But at this point, if her child is gone, Helena may suspect you first. Don’t forget that she regards
Ophelia as her own daughter.”
Cora’s face became more and more ugly.
After being silent for a while, she picked up the pillow on the side and threw it out like a mad, crying
aloud.
“Why why why?”
Mrs. Gwylan hugged her and said with heartache, “Cora, calm down. You still have a knife wound on
your body, plus you just had a miscarriage, so you shouldn’t be too agitated. Calm down, calm down.
Mom and Dad will be with you. We will definitely ask Zachariah to give you an explanation. Stop
worrying first.”
Cora buried herself in Mrs. Gwylan’s arms and cried hard. Her emotions fluctuated so greatly that the
wound on her body was torn.
Mrs. Gwylan stopped her from moving and said, “Cora, calm down. Mom is here. If you don’t want
Ophelia to give birth to a child, Mom will ask people to get rid of her child in complete secrecy.”
Only then did Cora calm down.
“Mom, is it true?”
Mrs. Gwylan gave her a complicated look and said meaningfully, “But I am your mother. Don’t you feel
guilty that you can even do plots against your own mother?”
“Mom, sorry, I’m just afraid. I’m afraid that the child in Ophelia’s belly will be a bridge between her and
Zach. Only when her child is gone can I calm down.”
Mrs. Gwylan felt that her daughter had become very unfamiliar.
The Fletcher family was a big family. The etiquette and rules were the most important. They need to
communicate with all kinds of people, so their minds must not be simple, but it was still a bit serious to
calculate people all the time.
She did not expect that her daughter would have such deep scheming, which made her very unfamiliar.
She didn’t want her daughter to be a simple girl who grew up in an ivory tower, but she definitely didn’t
want to see her full of scheming.
“Cora, you have changed too much. You make me feel very unfamiliar,” said Mrs. Gwylan.
