Semua Bab He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Sophie’s POV:As I was trying to figure out how to approach Lucas, my phone rang.The name on the screen was my mother’s.‘Helen Dawson’A bad feeling stirred in my chest.My mother rarely called me.I answered.“Hello, Sophie.”Her voice was low.“What’s wrong?”“Evelyn Carter is back at the estate.”At that, I looked in the direction of the Carter estate. From the Parker house where I lived now, it was practically a stone’s throw away.“And?”“Nathan Bennett is saying he wants to talk to Evelyn.”Nathan wanted to talk to Evelyn.About what?Judging by the way he had been acting, it was probably something like wanting to get back together with her.“Right now, Evelyn seems to be looking for something in her old room.”That did not worry me at all.There was no evidence left at the Carter estate.“Sophie, are we going to be all right?”I laughed.“We’ll be fine. There’s nothing at the Carter estate.”Just then, a rustling sound came through the phone, followed by

Why hadn’t I noticed?The thought made me laugh.By middle school, Nathan and Ryan had started treating Sophie like a princess.By then, it had become only natural for the Carter family to pay for Sophie’s uniform, school supplies, and everything else she needed.Even though she was only the housekeeper’s daughter.That had been my mistake from the very beginning.I should have treated the housekeeper’s daughter like the housekeeper’s daughter.I had been raised to believe everyone should be treated equally.And because I accepted Sophie and treated her as my equal, I had ended up paying for it.How ironic.High school.Around that time, I began drawing a line between myself and Nathan, Ryan, and Sophie.I was aiming for medical school, so I threw myself into studying.And Nathan did the same.We shared the same goal of getting into an extremely competitive medical program, so sometimes, the two of us studied together.Even then, Sophie would find ways to insert herself

Grace Keller.The moment I remembered her name, another memory surfaced.Back then, I had continued working as an ER physician even after marrying Nathan.At least, I had until Ryan’s accident.Nathan and I lived together in an apartment. Whenever our shifts didn’t line up, we naturally ended up passing each other like ships in the night.We had both known that would happen the day we chose to become doctors.Even so, there were always people who believed a married woman belonged at home.To them, I was an unfit wife.Grace Keller had been one of those people.At the time, I had been too busy to pay much attention.But looking back, I realized she had said some remarkably cutting things.“You married into the Bennett family. There’s no reason for you to keep working.”I had heard those words directly from Grace.Back then, I had taken them as concern.But what if they had really been words of contempt?After Ryan’s death, I resigned from the hospital and stayed home to t

Grace was looking after Sophie.That connected the two of them.I still did not know the exact nature of their relationship. I would have to see it for myself.But one thing was certain.Sophie would never willingly put herself beneath anyone.Her arrogance was far too inflated for that.The malice directed at me five years ago had been intense. I knew that better than anyone because I had been the one forced to endure it.And whether Nathan had been poisoned by that malice or had always been that way, he had hurled plenty of cruel words at me too.What had he said again?That he looked forward to seeing how a loser like me would survive in this world.Something like that.“Are the two of them close?” Lucas asked.Kenneth thought for a moment.“On the surface, they maintain the appearance of a normal employer and servant.”Then he gave a faint smile.“But there are times when I sense something more between them.”Something more.“What kind of times?” Lucas pressed.Ke

Nathan’s POV:That afternoon, the data arrived.I watched it in order.Ethan entered the medication storage room.He took two doses of Linepros from the box and carried them out.Immediately afterward, he handed them to Sophie, who had been waiting just outside the storage room.Then they hugged.I had already seen this much before.After that, Ethan returned to the pharmacy department where the pharmacists were stationed.As if nothing had happened.The other person was Sophie.Sophie slipped the Linepros into her handbag and walked away, glancing around as she went.Then she reached the hospital entrance.Was I overthinking this?For one brief moment, I thought so.But after Sophie exited through the hospital entrance, she turned and went around to the back of the building.She moved to the very edge of where the security camera could still catch her.There, Sophie met someone.Who was it?Sophie took something from her handbag and handed it to that person.I zoome
