Chapter 1

"There's another cornea match for Sophie! This time, the donor is young, and they only passed away six hours ago. The corneas have already been carefully preserved," Anton Girard said.Sophie Walker was still groggy from the fever medicine she'd taken, but she was delighted when she overheard what Anton said.Anton was her family doctor and also a friend of her husband, Jason Gray. He'd told her before that she would be able to see the light of day again once they found a cornea match and performed the surgery.Now, the chance she'd been waiting for had finally come!However, Sophie's joy didn't last for long. She heard Jason say, "We don't need it!"He spoke in fluent Faerian. His voice was pleasant, but it was laced with impatience. It was the complete opposite of the tender tone he'd used with her earlier when persuading her to take her medicine.Jason continued, "I already told you to stop searching for cornea matches for her. Sophie doesn't need them. Things are perfect the

Sophie's phone had vision accessibility features, so she used her voice to control it, making it dial the number she'd committed to memory.The call was soon answered."Hi. Am I speaking to someone from the Walker family?" Sophie asked, feeling nervous.She heard a hoarse, elderly male voice. The man sounded a little agitated. "Who are you?""My name is Sophie Walker. I'm Tricia Walker's daughter."She heard a loud clatter on the other end of the line. It sounded like someone had dropped something on the floor. Then, the man cried, "You're Trish's daughter? Where is she now?""My mom passed away four years ago." Sophie couldn't help getting choked up when she said that.Tricia used to shed tears of heartache at the slightest injury that Sophie sustained. She would be devastated if she were still around and knew about everything Sophie had suffered.The man was silent for a long time before he spoke again. He sounded choked up as well. "My name is George Walker, child. I'm your

Jason sounded like he was asking Sophie for permission, but he was actually just informing her. He'd probably already brought Geraldine to Livera with him.They thought they could play Sophie like a fiddle just because she couldn't see!Sophie sneered inwardly. She'd planned on dealing with Geraldine after returning to Dalea, but she had to make the most of this opportunity since Geraldine had served herself on a silver platter."I'm fine with that." Sophie gripped the sheets beneath her tightly, but her lips curved upward into a faint smile. She tried to keep her anger at bay as she said, "Since she's your client, she can stay with us."Jason was surprised by her answer. It was what he wanted, but why wasn't he as happy as expected?"Sweetheart, you're not jealous?" He held Sophie's hand again and looked at her keenly. "You don't think there's anything wrong with a female client staying in our house?""You said she's a client, right? I'm not that petty." Sophie remained nonchala

Chapter 4

Sophie suddenly slammed the table. The loud bang made Jason and Geraldine jump."What's wrong, sweetheart?" Jason immediately leaned in, concerned about Sophie. His tone was diffident, though."What were you and Ms. Slater talking about?" she asked."Just work.""Since Ms. Slater is also from Dalea, why can't you guys speak Dalean? I can't understand you when you keep speaking in Faerian." Sophie forced a few tears and put on an aggrieved look. "It makes me think that you're saying things you don't want me to know about.""Don't be silly. Ms. Slater grew up in Prisa, so she's more fluent in Faerian." Jason soothed Sophie while saying to Geraldine in Faerian, "We need to watch ourselves and stop talking so much in front of her.""Why should we?" Geraldine was indignant. "She'll find out about us sooner or later! You can't be thinking of keeping this from her forever?"Jason didn't say anything. He'd never thought about divorcing Sophie.Geraldine was displeased by his silence. S

Bitterness welled up in Sophie again at the thought of the past. She lowered her head to hide the tears that threatened to spill and mumbled, "You're right. I'm overthinking this."Jason fell silent at her words, feeling diffident. He didn't dare continue the topic with her. Though he was physically with Sophie, his heart was with Geraldine, who was still downstairs.He stayed with Sophie for a while before excusing himself, saying that he needed to head to the study to take care of some work.She knew he was leaving to be with Geraldine. She quelled her hatred and immediately pulled up the surveillance footage on her phone once she was sure he was gone.In the dining room, Geraldine sat on a chair while Jason brought an ice pack to her face."Get away from me!" She pushed his hand away, fuming. "You chose Sophie over me, didn't you? Don't touch me!""What are you talking about? When did I choose her?" He sighed helplessly.He grabbed both her wrists with his free hand while car

"I want to use matching items with you, though." Jason started trying to sweet-talk Sophie. He pulled out his phone and said, "I'm going to buy new ones right now."She didn't say anything. No matter how many of them he bought, she would throw them all away!…Breakfast was ready, but Sophie couldn't stomach eating at the same table as Jason and Geraldine. She didn't have anything before heading to the hospital to have her dressing changed.Jason originally wanted to go with her, but he changed his mind the moment Geraldine said that she wanted him to stay. He had the bodyguards go with Sophie instead.She didn't want him anywhere near her, but hearing him choose Geraldine over her without the slightest hesitation still made her feel bitter. She'd never doubted true love, but true love could also change in an instant.When Sophie arrived at the hospital, she entered a private consultation room where Dr. Matthew Roux changed her bandages.She asked him a little nervously, "How lo

Chapter 7

The incident seemed to have shaken Patrick. He was worried about Sophie and kept trailing her car, only leaving after seeing it drive into the garage.Neither Jason nor Geraldine was at home at that hour, but Sophie didn't care where they were. She headed upstairs to the study.Her passport and identification were with Jason, and she had to get them back. This was the perfect opportunity.Jason had probably never imagined that Sophie would one day want to leave him and return to Dalea, so he hadn't bothered hiding the things too well. She soon found them and showed them to Fiona. Once she was sure they were her things, she carefully hid them.The Walker family was ready for her. The moment she wanted to leave Faeria, she would have a private jet waiting to take her back to Dalea.Sophie didn't want to waste too much time on these matters. During the meal with Patrick, they'd agreed that she would return to Dalea in three days.During these final three days, she needed to gather a

Chapter 8

Jason's friends all knew that he and Geraldine were lovers, yet Sophie had just said that Geraldine had a boyfriend. Didn't that mean that Geraldine had cheated on Jason?An ugly look crept onto Jason's face at Sophie's words."What the hell are you talking about?" Geraldine screeched. "I don't have a boyfriend!""Oh, is it supposed to be a secret?" Sophie covered her mouth, pretending to look surprised. "Well, you're single if you say so, Ms. Slater. Maybe I was mistaken."This strategic retreat successfully deepened Jason's suspicions about Geraldine. He asked icily, "Who were you on the phone with?""It was—" Geraldine stopped short before shaking her head. "It was no one! I wasn't on the phone with anyone, so don't listen to her nonsense!"She had been on the phone with someone that day, but she couldn't reveal who it was.She thought everything would be fine as long as she refused to admit the truth, but she had no idea that whether or not this person actually existed was b

Chapter 9

Sophie knew that reviving her account after two years away would mean that she had less traffic, but she still wanted to give it a shot.With that thought in mind, she opened the app and keyed in her username and password to log in. However, even after multiple tries, she was told that she couldn't log in because her password was wrong.She distinctly remembered that she hadn't changed the password. Why would it be wrong? Could it be that her account had been deactivated because she hadn't logged in for too long?She found it odd, so she searched the app for her account. To her surprise, she heard Geraldine's voice in the first video that she opened."Hi, babes! Today, I'm going to teach everyone a classical dance that you can do, even without a foundation. It's super easy to learn…"Sophie thought she was hallucinating when she heard Geraldine's voice. She looped the video several times before she was sure she wasn't imagining things.She gripped her phone tightly, feeling a mix

Chapter 10

"It has to be Sophie. Who else can it be?" Geraldine was irritated. She wasn't afraid of Sophie discovering anything. She just wanted the account back. She kept pushing Jason to deal with the matter.Jason contacted TipTop's customer service and tried to get back the account by throwing money around, but he was told it wouldn't work. Geraldine would only be able to get back the account and tie it to her name if the person to whom the account's verification was tied removed the authentication.Left with no choice, Jason brought Geraldine home and went to see Sophie. He wanted to fool her into removing the authentication. He found her dancing in the dance studio.He knew Sophie loved dancing and had made sure to keep a room empty for her when they'd moved into this villa. He'd had it turned into a dance studio for her.Over the past two years, Sophie had often practiced alone there. However, Jason had been too busy with work and cheating with Geraldine that he rarely got the chance t
