Sorry, My Darling Chapter 43 Not Forgetting Her
Sophia's POVAfter Jared lay down on the extra bed, he quickly fell asleep.Meanwhile, my stomach churned with pain, keeping me awake until dawn."Feeling better?" Jared asked eagerly as soon as I stirred. "Do you want something to eat? I'll go grab some breakfast." I wanted to drive him away, but his kind gestures gave me pause. I considered forgiving him, but Molly's death was an insurmountable barrier.Just as I was about to speak, my stomach growled. I could only nod slightly in response.He hurried out of the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen him so attentive.From the moment we married, his mantra had always been, "I have endless work, I'm sure you'll understand."At first, he would carve out some time for me, but over the years, those moments became fewer and farther between, filled out by sheer lies."Sophia?" Jared's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I looked up to see him standing in the doorway, a breakfast tray

Charlotte's POV"I knew it. Jared wouldn't be so heartless," I squealed, leaping to my feet as the TV screen lit up with the image of me clinging to his arm.The footage was from months ago, back when we were still on good terms and when he didn't mind Mia and me hanging all over him.Now? He'd never allow it. But this was a sign—a chance to mend things.Jared could've demanded the clip be switched. The fire department had recorded plenty of segments. And the best part? Sophia would fight with him when she saw this.Jared's impression of her would sour. All I needed to do was get to Jared's place before he returned. No man could resist a gentle, apologetic woman. He'd come back to me.I raced to Jared's house, my heart pounding with anticipation. But when I arrived, the sight stopped me cold.This was Sophia's house once. The garden, once meticulously trimmed, was now overrun with weeds. If not for the faint glow of light inside, I'd have thought the place was abandoned."Jared
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 45 The Truth
Charlotte's POVI still hadn't won Jared over. It made me doubt my efforts.I had to escalate my plan, to shatter everything Sophia held dear."She's already lost her daughter and the home she fought so hard to keep," I mused, a smug smile spreading across my face as I rolled down the car window.My gaze locked onto the middle-aged woman standing anxiously across the street. Linda Holmes, Sophia's mother, was my next target.Linda was an innocent bystander, but her relationship with Sophia made her a pawn in my game. If Jared didn't care so deeply for Sophia, I wouldn't have to resort to such drastic measures.I stepped out of the car and approached her.Linda was dressed in a tailored suit, the epitome of a gentle university professor. Her soft demeanor mirrored Sophia's meekness, and I knew she wouldn't put up much of a fight.But the real advantage lay in her heart condition. Sophia's overprotectiveness had always revolved around Linda's fragile health, and I intended to exp
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 1 His Choice
Sophia's POVThe mall collapsed, burying both Jared's first love's daughter and my daughter under the rubble.Jared Anderson was my husband and a firefighter. He chose to rescue his ex's daughter, leaving our little girl behind...."Sweetheart, hang in there." I knelt over the debris, cupping Molly's face in my hands.She lay trapped beneath a thick slab of concrete, her tiny, delicate face covered in dust. Blood was trickling from scratches on her cheeks.Only her head and one hand were free, and that hand was clutching a bear toy—one she'd carefully picked out as a birthday gift for Jared."Will Daddy still get my present?" she whispered, her voice quivering.Today was Jared's birthday. We were supposed to go pick him up from the fire station after buying his gift.But the moment we stepped out of the store, there was a deafening crash, followed by clouds of choking dust. Fragments of the ceiling rained down, one hitting my head hard.We were trapped under the rubble. I'd
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 2 He's Here
Sophia's POV"Jared, how could you do this?" I collapsed, dropping to my knees.There were no other firefighters in sight. With no other choice, I began to dig through the rubble with my bare hands. My nails tore, and blood streaked my hands, but I couldn't stop. Molly needed me.My hands throbbed, and my head spun with dizziness. Just when I felt I might pass out, a metal pipe suddenly appeared in front of me."Ma'am, do you need help? Wait, Sophia?" A familiar voice sounded from behind me."Alexander?" I looked up, stunned to see him there."I'm back in town on business. Forget about this," he said, quickly wedging the pipe under a massive stone beside Molly. "Maybe this will work."I stood beside him and steadied the pipe with all my strength. Finally, with a heavy, gut-wrenching sound, we managed to pry the huge rock off together."Mommy..." Molly's soft voice whispered as she smiled up at me from under the rubble, her hand going limp.Even so, she still clutched that plus
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 3 His Love
Sophia's POV'Jared, don't you dare try to brush me off again! You owe me a reasonable explanation,' I thought, gritting my teeth.I had always loved him. But ever since Charlotte returned, he felt like a stranger to me. My love for him was slowly crumbling.I supported his kindness and respected his career, but I couldn't accept how he was neglecting Molly. In a life-or-death situation, he didn't even spare a glance at her.I quickly ran in the direction he had disappeared. He walked to a luxurious hospital room and swiftly pushed open the door.I peeked through the window to observe the situation inside.An elegant figure sat with her back to me, sobbing quietly. Her golden hair cascaded down, brushing against Jared's arm, making them look even more intimate."Jared, the doctor said she's badly injured, and I'm afraid..." she trailed off, crying even louder."Don't be upset, Charlotte," Jared said, patting her back gently. "She'll be fine, I promise. This is the best children
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 4 Face Reality
Sophia's POVMy mind was on the verge of collapse. Molly lay pale and lifeless on a hospital bed, and even after I told him everything, Jared still chose to stay with someone else.'Ten minutes? He has been with them long enough. Does he really need to stay?' I thought bitterly, trying to calm down.Molly needed me, and I couldn't let her see my anger. She was eagerly waiting for Jared.After pulling myself together, I stepped back into her room."Sweetheart, I'm back. Oh my God!" I nearly collapsed right there.Molly's face was ghastly pale. Her body was twitching, and blood trickled from her mouth.Clueless, I fumbled for the emergency call button."Molly? Oh my God, doctor, help!" I cried out.Doctors rushed in, and I was pushed outside before I knew it, the door slamming in my face.I peered inside through the tiny window, but all I could see were doctors blocking my view. I sank to the floor, clasping my hands together in desperate prayer."Please, God, save my little g
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 5 Losing Molly
Sophia's POVI slowly sat down on the edge of the bed."Mom, I feel much better. Can we go find Daddy now?" Molly asked, coughing lightly and flashing me a weak smile.I nodded numbly, but my mind was still reeling from the doctor's words. He had told me that due to multiple organ failures, Molly's life was now on a countdown.All medical measures were just to ease her pain. I couldn't face this reality."Mom, don't cry. I'm getting better," she said, lifting her hand to wipe away the tears on my face."I know, my angel is the best," I whispered, gently holding Molly's hand and nuzzling her knuckles with my cheek."Mom, I want to go home," Molly whispered to me.My heart ached again. I wanted so badly to take her home, but the doctor had given her the final notice.I choked back a sob. "When you get better, I will take you home. We'll go to the amusement park, buy your favorite strawberry cake, and get you the newest dolls."I sniffed, trying to maintain a smile. "Is there an

Sorry, My Darling Chapter 42 The Way You Are
Sophia's POVAlexander held me carefully, lowering me onto the stretcher before they wheeled me back to my ward.He didn't relax until he was sure I was okay. Jared followed us the entire way. I simply ignored him."I didn't expect you to be here," I said."I came to bring you these." Alexander gestured to a file folder resting at the foot of my bed.Picking it up, he placed it in front of me. "I've prepared everything you asked for."I flipped through the documents. The divorce paperwork was all in order. All that was left was Jared's signature."Thank you." I met his gaze, my gratitude sincere. "Are you all right? Did you get hurt?""I'm fine," he replied, placing an exquisite package in front of me. "Oh, and I brought you your favorite donuts. Try them."Alexander and I had been out of touch for years, yet he still remembered what I liked. It was a small gesture, but it meant the world to me.Jared, on the other hand, had lived with me every day, yet he didn't even know wh
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 41 I Love You
Sophia's POV"How could you do this to me?" Charlotte protested bitterly. "You promised to take care of me. Have you forgotten?" Jared stood firm, his voice steady but cold. "That was just friendly care. But not anymore. You hurt my wife. I can't just pretend nothing happened."Charlotte's face crumpled, and she wiped away her tears with a trembling hand. "Fine. I won't bother you anymore. I'll take care of Mia on my own."With that, she turned and ran off. Jared's expression remained stoic.He exhaled and turned to face me. "Trust me. I'll never have anything to do with her again."His belated regret meant nothing to me. Molly was gone, and so was our love. I'd given him countless chances, and he'd never cherished them. There was no turning back.I closed my eyes, shutting him out."Do you want something to eat? I can..." he added, his voice grating on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.I itched to slap him and drive him away, but the pain in my stomach had drained me of
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 40 Don't Want to See You
Sophia's POV"Wow, a damsel saving the hero." I clapped mockingly, ignoring the blood trickling down my hand. "After this little performance, will you two kiss and take it to bed?"I laughed with amusement, knowing it was a staged show."He's not your husband yet, is he?" I added, feigning regret.I knew she had been fantasizing about becoming Mrs. Anderson."Your hand is bleeding." Jared stepped toward me, reaching to staunch the bleeding.I jerked away, pressing my palm hard against the wound."Stop provoking her, Jared," Charlotte advised him with faux concern. "She probably needs space. This isn't good for her recovery."She deserved an Oscar for that performance."Spare me the act, Jared. It's nauseating," I scoffed.This frozen charade was ridiculous. If he adored her so much, he should sweep her into his arms and take her away immediately.Turning to Charlotte, who clung to his arm like ivy, I added, "Try harder. I'd love to hand this role over to you.""Can you stop
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 39 Carry On
Sophia's POV"Mom, I'll always be by your side," Molly said. "I don't want to see you sad."Her figure slowly faded, becoming translucent before vanishing into the thin air."Go around the world and see it for me.""No."I woke up, tears streaming down my face, the dream still clinging to the edges of my consciousness. I wished I could stay asleep and be with Molly forever.She was such a sweet and lovely girl. She didn't deserve to leave this world at such a young age.Anger surged within me, a bitter taste in my mouth. 'It was all Jared's fault. Why did he have to do this to us?'I suddenly sensed a presence and jerked my head up.There, standing in the doorway, was Jared, holding a huge bouquet. On the small table next to him sat a massive cake."Sophia," he said softly. "You're finally awake. I've been waiting for so long.""What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised that he wasn't with Charlotte.He took a step closer, his hands shaking slightly as he brought the str
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 38 Living for Myself
Sophia's POV'How dare Jared show up here? Is he here to push me over the edge and see me dead?' The thought seared through my mind as I coughed up a mouthful of blood.Jared rushed to my side, his face a mask of concern."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice laced with an anxiety that seemed almost genuine.But I knew better. He didn't love me anymore; this was just another performance."Sophia, you need to calm down," he continued, reaching for my hand. "I just want to talk."But the moment his fingers brushed against mine, I recoiled as if burned.If he had even a shred of conscience left, he would leave right now."Did you not hear me?" I yelled, my voice raw with emotion. "If you want me alive, get out of my sight."He hesitated, then stammered, "Okay. Take it easy. I'll come back when you're feeling better."His tone was bitter, but I didn't care.I turned on my side, resting my weight against the headboard, and coughed weakly. My throat tasted like rusted iron, a

Jared's POV'What's happening? Why did Sophia collapse?' My mind raced, trying to piece together the sudden turn of events.I jerked my head up, my gaze darting frantically toward where Sophia had stood moments ago. Paramedics lifted her onto a stretcher and hurried out of the room.I had to follow them, to be by her side."Jared, I feel dizzy." Charlotte's voice, weak and pleading, pulled me back.She grabbed my arm, her body slumping against mine as if her legs could no longer support her. "Don't leave me. I can't breathe."Instinctively, I pulled her close, rubbing her back in slow, steady circles."Feeling better?" I murmured, my voice a soothing balm as I tried to reassure myself that Sophia would be okay.'She is tougher than Charlotte and can take care of herself. She will be fine,' I told myself, even as doubt gnawed at the edges of my consciousness.I focused on comforting Charlotte, her breathing gradually steadying under my touch. But the respite was short-lived."
