Chapter 244

"You silly girl, here you are thanking me at a time like this. If it weren't for me, how would you have suffered all this? And..."

She doesn't even have a single complaint.

Of course, it's not that Sophia has no complaints, but she just can't voice them.

To herself, Evelyn is the enemy, the one who tried to hurt her.

But to Michael, that's his biological mother.

If she kept dwelling on it, it would create a rift between them. Although doing this feels unfair to herself, it's already the best choice.

Rather than making a fuss and saying things that don't matter and creating conflict, it's better to stay quiet for now. As for revenge? That can come later.

Michael didn't leave the hospital all day, staying by Sophia's side, taking care of her carefully. When evening came, Olivia rushed over too.

The moment Olivia saw Sophia, she burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I was so useless, drinking like that. I didn't help you at all, and you almost got..."

Olivia had been rescued by Michael, but early that morning, there was a very important project at the company, so she had no choice but to go to work first.

But whenever she thought about what Sophia went through, Olivia was scared out of her mind.

Of course, after the fear came more helplessness.

Who would have thought that these wealthy family people would be so ruthless, going after someone's uterus?

Too evil.

Sophia shook her head, "Alright, alright, I know you care about me. It's nothing. Look, I'm fine now, aren't I? Nothing happened."

"You silly girl, sure nothing happened now, but if something had happened, it would be too late. A woman's uterus is so important. That person is just too much, completely heartless. She's a woman herself, how could she do such a thing?"

"Enough."

Seeing Olivia getting more and more worked up, and Michael not far away, worried about being overheard, she quickly covered Olivia's mouth.

Olivia cried even harder, "What are we going to do? I regret this now. I thought you could have a good life being with Michael, but now it looks like you haven't even started the good life yet, and you almost lost your life. That Evelyn clearly wants to stop you from marrying into the family. So cruel. Will you even have a good life if you marry in?"

Now Olivia truly regretted it. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have stopped Michael and Sophia from being together, no matter what.

Olivia cried hard, looking absolutely miserable.

Sophia smiled helplessly, "It's okay, it's okay. I can leave the hospital tonight. Let's go home together in a bit, okay?"

"Maybe you shouldn't come home with me. Go to Michael's place instead. After all, there are bodyguards there who can keep you safe."

Just then, Michael walked in from outside. "Going back to my place isn't safe either. After all, I haven't had time to clear out many of the people there yet. Better to stay at your place. Don't worry, I've already arranged bodyguards in secret."

Hearing this, both Olivia and Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the hospital, Sophia's wound was just a small one, but it would still hurt if she moved too much, so she was very careful when walking and doing things.

And Olivia took care of Sophia with extreme attention to detail, pouring water for her, helping her bathe, and washing clothes.

In short, she took care of her even more carefully than her biological parents would.

After finishing everything.

The two could finally sit down and have a good chat.

Olivia was still a bit panicked and scared. "Sophia, I know what you're thinking. You want to fight for love, but you need to use your brain. Don't you have any money? Why don't you hire a bodyguard?"

Better to rely on yourself than on others.

Although Michael had already arranged bodyguards, who could guarantee it would be foolproof? It's more reliable to have your own resources.

Olivia mysteriously took out a bag and stuffed it into Sophia's hands.

"Look at what's in here. There's pepper spray and other things. If you run into danger again, you can at least hold out for a while with these things. And there's also a stun gun."

"This stun gun is really powerful. Just touch someone lightly with it and they'll pass out completely."

To make sure Sophia knew how to use them, Olivia even took out all the items and demonstrated them one by one.

Sophia sat on the sofa with a happy smile on her lips.

She discovered that after leaving that family, life had become so wonderful.

At this moment, Sophia really felt so happy.

She had a lover and friends.

After something happened, there were people who came to rescue her without hesitation, to help her and take care of her.

This feeling of being surrounded by happiness was just too wonderful.

But what made her feel even happier was their sincerity.

Sophia's eyes reddened without her realizing it. "Thank you for staying by my side all these years without leaving. Without you, I probably wouldn't have made it this far."

So many years had passed. Although she would never return to those days of lacking food and clothing and going hungry every day, Sophia still remembered that difficult period vividly.

You have to know that back then, the school cafeteria food was very expensive, and with Sophia's means, she simply couldn't afford to eat there. Every day, she could only eat bread.

And at that time, Olivia protected her and looked after her, giving her the food she couldn't finish.

But everyone could see that Olivia wasn't unable to finish her food - she had clearly ordered an extra portion.

She kept this kindness in her heart and would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Because of this, Sophia thought that as long as she had even a little opportunity or ability, she would definitely help Olivia.

Olivia's eyes also reddened. "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Do you think what you're saying is touching? It's really too mushy. We're friends for life, we shouldn't worry about these things. Anyway, listen to me - we need to stay happy forever."

"Yes, yes, we need to stay happy forever. No one can change that. We need to be well. We need to live better than anyone else."

Sophia and Olivia chatted and laughed, and soon fell asleep.

But some people found it hard to sleep.

Like Evelyn.

She had tried several times to capture Sophia again with her people, but was stopped each time. With no other choice, she could only come find Michael.

Meeting again, the mother and son were no longer at daggers drawn, but could actually talk calmly.

"Just tell me what you want to do. I've told you many times already - you can have lovers, you can have countless lovers, but you absolutely cannot have illegitimate children. That would really affect family relationships. Think about you and your father - don't you understand yet?"
