Chapter 26
Sophia thought. What hickeys?‘ Stunned, she ceased struggling and followed Jason's gaze downward.
She subconsciously frowned upon seeing the red marks on her smooth skin. She reflected, ‘Oliver's personal
physician left these marks during a therapy session
Sophia had been passing out frequently lately. Therapies were her only lifeline until she could secure a suitable
heart for replacement.
She planned to give up treatment. However, Oliver threatened that if she refused treatment, he would divulge
everything to Luna and leave Luna to persuade her.
She had no choice but to obey Oliver's orders because she didn’t want Luna to find out about her health
situation.
Sophia thought, ‘I didn’t expect Jason to interpret these marks as proof that | was cheating on him. How funny is
that? | suffered a severe heart injury trying to save him, and now he’s rubbing salt in my wound.”
Jason noticed that Sophia stared at those marks without saying anything. He took her silence as a confession. A
humiliating feeling of betrayal welled up within him.
He grabbed Sophia’s chin and pinched it. A satisfied smile appeared on his face after he saw her painful look.
He pondered, ‘What | despise most is when Sophia acts as if nothing is affecting her. It's as if I'm the only one
struggling in this marriage while

Jason questioned, “Speak. How did you get these hickeys? Have you already slept with Oliver?”
Sophia glanced at Jason’s exasperated expression, her eyes turning red. She struggled to speak. “A kidnapper

Sophia thought, “This was the first t| had mustered the courage to mention what happened back then, but
he didn’t givea chance. Perhaps we're destined to misunderstand and torment each other until the end of
our days.!
Jason had one hand firmly gripping Sophia’s chin while the other pressed heavily on the bruise on her left breast.
Madness flickered in his
eyes.
He cried, “Are you still trying to say you, instead of Ada, savedfive years ago? Sophia, where's your dignity?
The scars on Ada’s body are real. And these? These are the dirty hickeys from your lover.”
Sophia's heart was already in tatters. It could not endure Jason's forceful rubbing. With each added pressure,
Sophia felt as though millions of sharp blades were mercilessly stabbing into her heart, causing her body to
tremble with pain.
She thought, ‘My skin appears seemingly intact, but thousands of holes are inside. What's the point of arguing
with him? Why did | bother so much to eliminate the scars? if i did the right move back then, would | make the
right move after that and becthe winner now?’
Sophia felt a rush of blood in her throat. She tightly pursed her lips to prevent the blood from spilling out.
Jason sensed the stiffness and tightness in Sophia’s body, but he attributed it to her aversion to getting close to
him. His gaze gradually grew
