The expected slap did not come. Sophia quickly grabbed Claireâs hand before it could land on her.
Looking at Claireâs disbelieving gaze, Sophia couldnât help but reveal a look of disdain. She thought, âWhy? Did she think that I would be as obedient as I was five years ago and let her slap me? What a joke.â
After pushing Claire gently and successfully seeing her fall onto the bed, Sophia slowly placed the fruit basket on the table. âI can take responsibility for your medical fees. After all, you were once my mother. I canât watch you die. As for Lucas, he bullied, humiliated, and hurt me. We arenât siblings. Itâs not worth my money.â
Claire gasped, âYou...â
Sophiaâs gaze swept across Claireâs face and she smiled. âIf you get angry, it will accelerate the spread of cancer cells, so itâs better to calm down. Iâve been in business overseas for five years. I donât have much, but I have a lot of money. Iâll pay for your chemotherapy and let you live for a few more years.â
E Claire was even angrier when she saw Sophiaâs annoying look of I have too much money and nowhere to spendâ. However, with the intense pain in her chest, she had no choice but to control her emotions. âSophia, I was wrong. I shouldnât have favored boys over girls. Can you save your brother?â
Sophia took a deep look at Claire, turned, and walked out. This was all she could do. As for the rest, please forgive her for not being a saint. She could not do it.
Claire saw Sophia leaving decisively and rushed out of bed in a panic. However, before she could steady herself, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Ada, who was stunned at the side, finally reacted. After spitting at Claire, she strode toward Sophia. She would have plenty of opportunities to deal with Claire. She had to find out why that bitch Sophia had returned to Cester City.
Ada couldnât believe that damn mercenary commander found a fake corpse to deceive her. Damn it.
In the corridor, Ada strode forward and blocked Sophiaâs way. âSophia, youâre really good at scheming. You faked your death to escape. Unfortunately, your man is now my sonâs father. That relationship can never be severed.â
Sophia understood what Ada meant. She chuckled and said, âA scumbag and a vicious woman. Youâre a perfect fit for each other. I wonât disturb the two of you... from mating.â
With that, Sophia stepped around her and continued walking forward.
Ada wanted to stop Sophia, but when she sensed many gazes on her, she stopped herself. She had nothing to be fraid of. With that little bastard in her hands, if she got angry, she would drag him to hell with her.
12:56 Mon, 15 Jul Chapter 432 BUX After Sophia came out of the hospital, she went straight to a cafe in the city center.
In the private room on the second floor, when Harriet saw Sophia take off her cap and mask, looking calm, she could not help but ask, âArenât you afraid of being exposed?â
Sophia glanced at Harriet and snickered. âJason already knows.â
Harrietâs heart skipped a beat when she heard that. âDid I expose you?â
Sophia shook her head and comforted Harriet. âIt has nothing to do with you. By the way, we met in a hurry previously and didnât have the chance to ask you about your recent situation. Have you... remarried?â
Sophia knew how difficult it was for a woman to raise a child. It was precisely because she knew that she hoped Harriet could find someone to rely on. It was better to have someone to share the burden with than to be alone.
âNo,â Harriet answered casually. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the hall on the first floor. âI-â
Before Harriet could finish, she suddenly trembled violently.
Seeing this, Sophia hurriedly asked, âWhatâs wrong? Are you sick?â
Harriet widened her eyes and looked straight at the entrance of the hall. She said with a shaky voice, âSâSophia, can you help me see if thatâs Norman?â
Hearing Normanâs name, Sophiaâs expression changed.
Harrietâs deceased husband was called Norman.
Sophia quickly followed Harrietâs gaze and looked at the hall on the first floor.
