Sophia easily caught the anticipation in her eyes, and the pain in her heart intensified. All along, she was the one who thought she did not need a father and that it was fine as long as Sophia was by her side. However, reality proved that even if she gave her all her maternal love, it could not replace the fatherly love.

Sweety usually hid her emotions well. But Sophia could see envy in her eyes when she saw other kids with their dad. That envy came from the bottom of her heart. Children who were born deaf and mute were sensitive to begin with. The missing love would only magnify infinitely in her development and compromise her growth. ‘I can’t bear to see her living in sorrow.‘

“But if Dad badly treats you, I’d rather have no Dad. You are enough, Mom.”
After seeing her daughter’s gestures, Sophia’s eyes gradually filled with tears. She had been pregnant twice, but only one of her three children had survived. The universe knew how important her daughter was to her.
If Jason snatched her child from her, it would undoubtedly take her life. Hence, she did not plan to let the father and daughter acknowledge each other. Even if Sweety missed her father, she would have to wait until she was older and could make a decision.
“You’re a good kid, Sweety. Remember to take your medicine on time and sleep well. I’ll be back in a few days.”
Before Sweety could reply, the door of Sophia’s ward suddenly knocked open. A tall and slender figure stumbled in from outside. It was Jason.
Sophia’s face stiffened. She quickly gestured at the laptop screen. “I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll hang up first.” After making the gesture, she cut off the video.
When Sophia raised her head again, a strong smell of alcohol stung her nostrils. Jason staggered to her side and stared at her like a wild beast eyeing its prey. Sophia frowned and said disgustedly, “Get out.”
Aside from applying her medicines, Jason had been obedient and did not cross the line. But at that moment, he looked as if he wanted to skin her alive. After thinking about it, Sophia remembered that he had caught Tommy for a paternity test.
Thinking about the time, Jason should’ve had the results. However, Sophia was uninterested in tampering with the report, nor did she need to spend money to bribe Derick. It must show that they were not father and son. He was not the father, and she was not the mother.
“Get out. Don’t make me say it a third time,” Sophia threatened. As she spoke, she pointed at the open door.

Jason moved. but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He stared at her with bloodshot eyes. Although he reeked of alcohol, Sophia saw that his eyes were clear. It was obvious he was not drunk. “Let go.”
But Jason didn’t want to let go. Because once he let go, that woman might never belong to him again.
“Why? Why are you so cruel to me?”
Sophia thought Jason was accusing her of being cruel and merciless. So, she could not help but laugh at him.
“Have you forgotten what happened in the teahouse that afternoon? You stabbed me, causing my heart to stop
beating. If it wasn’t for Oliver’s effort, do you think I’d be sitting here talking to you? Back then, the doctor said if I
didn’t have an abortion, I wouldn’t be able to undergo a heart transplant. So I had to make the difficult choice of
letting those children go. Isn’t all of this because of you? What right do you have to come here, drunken, and
question me, huh?”
Jason pursed his thin lips tightly. His eyes were filled with bone–piercing pain. “So after you aborted our child, you gave yourself to Oliver and gave birth to his son?”
Sophia was slightly stunned, wondering, ‘Son? What son?” “Jason, what the hell are you talking about?”
