Chapter 439
When Sophia said that, Jason remembered.
That day, Sophia and his mother were tugging at each other in the stairwell. Eventually, his mother fell down the steps, hitting her head and bleeding heavily.
He asked Sophia why she used ruthless means against his mother. She said his mother deserved it.
In his fury, he slapped her hard across the face.
At that time, she was already terminally ill. She was even pregnant with two children.
He remembered that when she fell to the ground, her abdomen did indeed hit the steps.
Her chest hit the steps too.
“I’m sorry, Sophia,” he said. “I’m sorry…”
Sophia suddenly laughed out loud, looking quite happy.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see intense anger and resentment brewing deep in her eyes.
“Do you know what your mom told me that day that prompted me to push her downstairs?” she said. “Do you know why I said that she deserved it? She told me that seven years ago, she bought off the doctor and tampered with my pregnancy report, making us think that it was an ectopic pregnancy. With just a small amount of money, she turned my child into a pool of blood and even removed one of my fallopian tubes. Even if it’s my own mom harming my daughter, I’ll also lay a hand on her without leaving any room for leniency, let alone your mom.”
Jason pursed his thin lips. The tears in his eyes slowly coalesced into droplets that rolled down the corners of his eyes and landed on her smooth back.
“Sophia, I was wrong,” he said.
Sophia was still smiling. Her smile was nonchalant, as if none of it had been her own experience.
“When my abdomen hit the steps that day, I was in such excruciating pain,” she said. “Do you know what I was thinking then? I was mocking myself. I was laughing at myself for being stupid, ignorant, and extremely lowly. You clearly didn’t want my child, so why should I keep the child to suffer in this world?”
“Stop talking, Sophia,” Jason said. “Please stop.”
He slowly bent down and buried his head in the side of her neck, pleading almost meekly.
Sophia slowly retracted her smile, releasing the resentment that she had concealed very well.

“Why should I stop talking?” she said. “The harm you caused me back then was innumerable. Do you remember you kicked me in the chest the first time I went to argue with Ada? Honestly, a man like you couldn’t even bear that kind of pain, so why should I?”
Jason clung tightly to her neck, hot tears streaming down like a burst dam.
“I didn’t want you to say it because I couldn’t bear to see you sad again,” he said. “I’ll struggle alone in this abyss of pain.”
Sophia smiled faintly.
“Pain?” she said. “No, no, no. I won’t feel pain anymore because the heart that once loved you and was riddled with holes by you has been dug out and replaced.”
Jason’s body was trembling slightly.
“The heart that once loved you has been dug out and replaced” was a remark that felt like a spell that firmly imprisoned him.
He thought, ‘Yeah. She has already tossed her heart away and completely removed me. Even if I repent and atone for my sins, I still can’t reclaim that unforgettable love I once had.”
“I’m sorry,” he said. “//e
you down.”
Sophia didn’t want to waste any more words with him. After struggling a few times to no avail, she simply closed her eyes.
“Jason, go back and look at that diary again,” she said.
She thought, ‘Let him relive all the suffering and pain I’ve experienced.
Jason could not object.
He held her tightly. His voice was hoarse, dry, and restrained as he said, “Alright. I’ll go take a look later.”
Sophia did not respond to his remark.
In a guesthouse in the suburbs, Aaron had just barged into the courtyard with his men when they got splashed all over with feces due to the bombing.
It was unmistakably feces.

people was forced out.
Seeing that the septic tank of this guesthouse was buried on the left side of the entrance, he lifted the lid and threw a mini bomb in right away.
When Aaron rushed in with his men, they triggered the detonator, and then…
