Chapter 486

Chapter 486 Juson pressed his thin lips together, his handsome face gradually contorting. Claire had indeed contacted him, begging him to save Lucas. At first, be refused, but Claire promised to reconcile him with Sophia within three days. Desperate to make amends with his wife, Jason agreed to the deal, promising to save Lucas if Claire succeeded.

However, Jason had no idea Claire would go as far as to kidnap her own daughter and send Sophia to his bed. If he had known Claire’s plan involved such a method, he would never have agreed in the first place. “What a joke. If I truly want to sleep with Sophia, I don’t need that old hag’s help he thought “Sophia, let me explain... Before jason could finish, Sophia cut him off sharply. “Just give me the answer. Did Claire come to you? Did you agree to save Lucas if you got me?”

Jason’s lips moved, wanting to argue. But faced with Sophia’s piercing gaze, he could only rasp out one word. “Yes.”

A sharp slap echoed through the room as Sophia struck Jason hard across the face. Jason, you disgust me,” she spat, wrenching her hand free from his grip and storming towards the door. Tll take what happened this afternoon as a dog bite.”

Jason let out a bitter laugh. He knew that the passionate was nothing but a fleeting dream. Now that the dream was over, he was still stuck in his hell. He pondered, 11 doesn’t matter. I won’t give up on you just because of a temporary setback. I’ve already implanted a laser tracker in your skin and I can track you every move. If one year of penance isn’t enough, I will continue for two years. If two years fails, I will keep going for five or even ten years, until you find a man who can truly make you happy Sophia walked out of the suite, shooting a cold glance at Aaron standing guard outside before heading towards the elevator. Her steps were shaky. each one amplifying the discomfort in her body. Once inside the elevator, she leaned against the wall to support her weight. Her abdomen throbbed with a dull ache, and she gently pressed a hand against it, rubbing softly as she thought, Hopefully, it will work this time so I won’t have to endure being with Jason again.

Sophia pulled out her phone and began typing a message to Amanda. (I’ve succeeded here. If the fertilized egg implants successfully within the next week, 111 prepare to leave. Please take good care of Sweety and do your best to extend her life.]

A few seconds after sending the message, Amanda replied: [Don’t worry about Sweety; she’s in good hands with me. Sophia, it’s okay, just think of it as a dog bite. Don’t let it get to you.]

Sophia read the message and smiled silently. The elevator dinged and the door opened. She walked out, head down, and ran straight into a solid chest.

“Sorry, I.” Sophia stopped mid–sentence, staring dazedly at the handsome man in front of her.

The man looked at Sophia too, his deep eyes locking onto hers, his face showing unmistakable excitement. “Sophia, you’re alive. With that, he grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace. “If you were alive, why didn’t you tell me? Do you know I’ve felt guilty for five years?”

Five years ago, when he rushed to the small town in Leezeway, he found only ruins and a charred corpse. Im sorry I didn’t protect you better. You shouldn’t have had to suffer like that.”

The man’s warm breath on Sophia’s cheek brought her wandering thoughts back. She slowly raised her hand, gently patting his back, and said comfortingly, I’m here, alive and well. Don’t blame yourself. If it weren’t for you. I would’ve died by Jason’s hand long ago. I wouldn’t be here now,”
