Elliot sighed deeply and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but don't jump to conclusions. Listen to me slowly. In fact, for so many years, I've been searching for a little girl..."Sophia heard this and her fingers trembled, slowly looking at him. "Is it your sister?"Elliot nodded as he met her gaze. "Yes."Sophia seemed to recall something, and suddenly she flashed a half-mocking and half-taunting smile. "How many sisters do you have?"Elliot calmed his overly nervous emotions for a moment, afraid that she might leave in anger. He knelt in front of her."Don't overthink it. She's the daughter of the doctor who treated my legs. Right after my legs regained sensation from the treatment, she had a car accident. I always suspected it was Edmund’s doing. He was afraid that my legs would really be healed, so he orchestrated the accident. Unfortunately, the doctor who treated me died in the accident, and I felt guilty. Upon learning about the accident, I rushed to the scene, but ahe was alre
This infuriated Elliot deeply. “No way!”He forcefully pulled her into his arms, seeming to be more angry than anxious. His whole demeanor was a bit frantic.“This was exactly why I was afraid to tell you. You really used Wylie's words on me. Do you want to divorce me? Don't you like me at all? Do you want to see me marry another woman? Will you not be jealous if I kiss her, hug her, and sleep with her?”Sophia looked at him furiously, exuding impatience and disbelief all over.She resisted the urge to smile and calmly replied, “As long as it's not Wylie, it's fine for you to be with anyone.”She then pushed him away and walked out, “I want to see my grandmother.”Elliot was speechless. How could she be so calm?Just when he thought she was starting to like him, could she be so generous to let him be with other women?What type of wife was she?At this moment, Chase walked in, staring suspiciously at Elliot who was standing there dumbfounded. “What's going on with you two? Did
Wylie was confused, and when she saw those photos, she became even more bewildered, "It wasn't me. I didn’t do this. I haven't sent any photos.""If it's not you, then who is it?""I don't know, but really, it wasn't me. You saw that I am also in the photos. When do I have time to take pictures?""You could have hired someone else to do it. Didn’t you arrange the two men to be there last night? Wylie, you really disgust me!""Elliot!" Wylie was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She shouted, "If I wanted to create discord, it would’ve been that time when I had your child! I would have done it when I was confident. Now it's just a few ambiguous photos. How could Sophia believe it? I'm not so impulsive, and I wouldn't use the same trick twice!"Elliot looked at her with a mix of sarcasm and disdain. Carry his child? What beautiful thoughts were those?Whether he was disdainful or not, he confirmed one thing. The photos indeed did not look like ones she would send.Her a
Wylie looked at her blood-stained hands with a sense of grievance. "Yes, I eavesdropped on it. I overheard a conversation between two men that night on the deserted island. They said that if they couldn't kill Sophia tonight, Edmund would have to kill them. They also mentioned that you knew Sophia was Dr. Ridge’s daughter, so you married her because it was safest to have her by your side."Elliot's brows furrowed deeply. He did not expect the situation to be just this. He thought Wylie was collaborating with Edmund.So, she just overheard those words."At what time did this happen? Did you have any surveillance cameras around you?" Wylie replied, "No, everyone was asleep at that time."Elliot fell into deep thought. So, she was just an indirect witness!"Go on!" he demanded."After analyzing their conversation, I came to a conclusion that Sophia is actually Esther, and Esther is the girl you've been looking for. But when you spoke to me that day, your attitude didn't seem like
Elliot felt deeply distressed and held her tightly in his arms, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."Sophia cried for a long time, trying to calm her emotions. "I know it's not your fault. My mother wouldn't have died tragically if she wasn’t treating you. When the car was hit, she instinctively held me in her arms. I was fine, but she was critically injured. The car pinned her down, but she endured the pain to push me out. She told me to leave, but I wanted to pull her with me. She said I was too weak and asked me to get help. Just as I ran a short distance away, the car exploded."She painfully clutched at her chest, looking at Elliot in confusion. "Maybe if she didn't try to protect me, the accident wouldn't have been so severe. Maybe if I had tried harder, I could have pulled her out."Elliot wiped away her tears and comforted her. "I know, I know. Every mother loves her child. They can't bear to see their child hurt. Your mom saved you out of love, not to burden you."Sophia seem
Elliot completely ignored him. He held Sophia's hand and went straight to Dorothy's ward.Dorothy was surprised to see him. "Elliot, what are you doing here?"Elliot walked a few steps to Dorothy's side, then knelt in front of her. "I'm sorry, Grandma!"Dorothy was shocked and quickly struggled to get up, wanting to support him. "What's wrong?"Sophia hurriedly helped Dorothy up and said, "Mom’s accident was related to Elliot. She was targeted because she was treating Elliot's leg."Dorothy looked at Elliot in shock.Elliot explained, "I'm sorry, Grandma. So many doctors had examined my leg, and they all said there was no possibility of recovery. Later, my grandfather heard from an old friend that there was a highly skilled doctor in Waybill. He had someone bring Gemma over. Under her treatment, I started gaining sensation in my legs again. "One day, she missed an appointment that we were supposed to have, and I felt uneasy. Later, I found out that she had been in an accident.
Several days later, the injuries of Sophia, Elliot, and Chase had all healed considerably. Even Samuel, who had been in the hospital, was discharged along with them.Chase did not go home. Instead, he headed to the villa. Mrs. Ruth specially prepared a large table of dishes to welcome their return.At the dinner table, after three rounds of toasts and savoring various flavors, Chase got a bit drunk. He took out the apology letter and slammed it in front of Sophia, saying, "Here, call me 'brother'!"Sophia was quite surprised as she read the letter. "Although I don't know where I went wrong, I endured my punishment for the sake of my sister. I deeply reflect on the incident of dragging Roxanne out without knowing who it was. Huh? Why should I criticize Roxanne for this?"Then, he crossed out that sentence, but it was still visible. Below, he continued, "I reflect on leaving Sophia alone in the haunted house. I didn't do it on purpose. It was a mistake made in panic. I admit my i
The three stared at Chase as if he were in bad spirits, constantly criticizing him with words that sprayed like spittle, detailing how he was insulted and his subtle retaliations.This made Sophia want to secretly record him so that he could trend on social media every day.In the end, it was Elliot who could not overlook it anymore."Don't you read the comments?" he asked.Chase seemed to just remember this matter. He hurriedly checked his post. There were already quite a few comments.But it seemed it was not at all what he had imagined.He thought the comments would be full of the word ‘acceptable,' but instead, everyone was saying 'not acceptable.'His mind instantly crashed.What?Could it be that all his fans were anti-fans?Sophia smirked, "How about it? Any good comments?"Chase remained silent. He was on the verge of a breakdown.He replied under the post, "I wanted one word, not two. It depends on whether I can acknowledge Sophia as my sister. Don't cause trouble!
