“How’s that?”
“I don’t know how to phrase it, but I didn’t expect you to react this way.”
“You think I’m being too cold?”
Ophelia nodded in honesty.
Zachariah sighed. “I don’t understand women. You’d get mad at me for worrying about other women if I do worry, and you accuse me of being cold when I don’t.”
But that didn’t quell the strange feeling Ophelia had. “I just…”
Zachariah placed a finger on her lips. “Now, hush before you say something you’ll regret.”
Nesting in his embrace, Ophelia decided to give up pursuing the question of how exactly Zachariah felt about Cora. The two of them sat quietly on the bench for three hours as Cora received her surgery.
Ophelia glanced at the “Operation in Progress” sign outside the room. With a frown, she said, “I think you should call the Fletchers, in case something should happen to her.”
Considering it for a while, Zachariah nodded in agreement. “I’ll have the chauffeur drive you home, then. It’s long past lunchtime, and you shouldn’t starve for the baby’s sake.”
Ophelia nodded back. She had originally planned to stay with Zachariah, but the history between him and Cora would put her in an awkward place if she did. She was Jackie, and Cora was Marilyn. Now, Marilyn was inside facing a possible miscarriage during the surgery, so if she stayed, the Fletchers were likely to freak out when they saw her.
