Chapter 1084: Laughable Yet Heartbreaking
Charles Seymour felt as if something exploded in his mind in an instant, dust flying everywhere, not a single piece of the crumbling ruins intact, his thin lips moved slightly, but he couldn’t force out a sound, staring at Sophie Wilson in a daze, like a puppet that had lost its soul."Hey, are you okay?" Sophie Wilson waved her hand in front of Charles, his eyes dull and lifeless, truly a bit frightening, causing her heart to panic.
Charles grabbed Sophie’s hand waving in front of him, his eyes fierce like a beast seeing its prey, his repressed voice hoarse as if honed by millennia of sandstorms: "Why? Why would you want to forget everything? Why choose hypnosis to forget everything? Why not wait for me to return? Why not tell me?"
A barrage of disordered questions, one after another, like a cuckoo lamenting with blood, reaching the pinnacle of sorrow.
Just as Sophie was about to speak, her body suddenly leaned forward, pulled into Charles’s embrace, above her head came his low murmur, as heavy as a whisper under a thousand-pound stone: "Sophie, how could you be so heartless? Not even willing to see me one last time? How could you?"
Sophie wanted to speak again, but was startled by the trace of cold wetness on her head, words caught in her throat, unable to make a sound.
She sighed lightly in her heart, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
Her situation at that time was really not optimistic.
She and Charles had coordinated to take down that illegal company, everyone thought she had died.
Surviving was truly a miracle, but her body was already at its limit.
Since he already knew she was dead, she chose not to tell him she was alive, after all, her body couldn’t hold out for a few more years, why make him experience the torment of loss again?
Before finally falling into a coma, she had already arranged with the authorities that, if possible, she would be hypnotized to forget the past, to use her last years living a normal life, then quietly pass away.
Who would have thought he would investigate and find out, in a past life, he even tried various methods to prolong her life, ultimately exchanging his life for hers.
Facing Charles’s questions now, Sophie didn’t answer, because she knew he didn’t need her reply.
He could find her, surely he would also ask the people from back then, find out what happened back then.
Sophie said nothing, she just reached out and embraced Charles.
Sophie distinctly felt Charles’s body stiffen, then she was tightly embraced.
"I know, I know everything." Charles nodded, his firm chin lightly brushing over Sophie’s hair, finally able to release the emotions repressed for so many years, finally able to voice them.
Knowing her choice was to spare him further worry, but he’d rather bear another loss, at least be able to spend a few more years together with her.
"If I had known..."
"You would give me your heart." Sophie interrupted Charles’s rambling confession with her soft words.
Charles’s body stiffened, he reluctantly closed his mouth, cleverly changed the topic: "Is there anywhere you’re still feeling uncomfortable?"
The topic shift was quite abrupt, Sophie wanted to laugh yet felt a bit of heartache.
Never mind, in the past, both of them had places where they acted less appropriately, from now on they should slowly make improvements.
