Chapter 25
After returning home, I pondered over what Sophia had said today.
It was clear that Sophia had no idea that the infection source was that girl.
She thought it was Benjamin who was carrying it, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so confident that I was infected too.
Sophia was disgusting, but even more repulsive was Benjamin.
He was really that h**y for love, even considering a woman who was eighteen years his senior.
Sophia had approached me multiple times.
Her request for care was a ruse.
Her true intention was to have me collaborate with her in targeting that girl.
She must have panicked when she saw Benjamin was smitten with the girl.
Reflecting on the three years of agony they had inflicted on me, I decided it was time to bestow upon them a particularly thoughtful “gift.”
Upon finding the girl’s medical records, I promptly headed to the address listed to locate her.
By a stroke of good fortune, she was coincidentally at home that evening, not accompanied by Benjamin.
She was only 22 years old.
Her fair, radiant skin and delicate features were so captivating that even I found myself taking an extra look.
No wonder Benjamin fell in love with her over one night, casting aside Sophia, who had looked after him since his childhood.
Upon seeing me, she recognized me and was surprised: “Dr. Carter, what brings you here?”
I got straight to the point.
I directly revealed that her current boyfriend is my ex-husband.
Hearing this, her face drained of color instantly.
As if she had been struck by some great shock, it took her a while to say: “He told me he was single. Had I known he was your husband, no matter how much I fancied him, I would have…”
She broke off abruptly, a sudden recollection crossing her mind, and inquired anxiously, “So do you have…”
I knew what she wanted to ask and gave a faint smile: “Of course not.’Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The Man Who Burned Me Alive in My Past Life, Was Also Reborn
Hearing this, she was immediately relieved and showed a slight smile,
“Thank goodness, otherwise even if died, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.”
The first time we met, I was the one who fished her out of the lake.
I was the one who saved her life, and I was also the one who encouraged her to carry on living.
Thus, I didn’t believe her concern for me was insincere.
We knew each other so much that I didn’t mince words and just stated my purpose.
Then I told her the truth about Benjamin and Sophia’s relationship.
I thought she would be as shocked as before.
But to my surprise, she just smiled, as if she already knew.
Without any hesitation, she agreed to my request.
