Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 636 I Am Back

Sophia drank in the sight of Alexander, whom she had not seen in a few days. She blinked her eyes in disbelief and stretched out her arms, pulling him into a tight embrace.

She had been locked up for four days. Her fear and anxiety had almost driven her to madness.

Although Mona had not intended to hurt her, the former did not seem inclined to let her go either.

She was five months pregnant and already beginning to show. The thought of what would happen to her baby if she continued to be imprisoned here had constantly dominated Sophia’s worries.

Her pregnancy hormones already made her exceptionally emotional, and Sophia was at her breaking point after enduring for so long.

“Alexander, I’m scared!”

A tear rolled down Sophia’s cheek. Once the floodgates were opened, she could not hold them back anymore, and she began to cry in earnest.

Alexander looked at her tear-stained face and felt his throat tightening. He said softly, “Come on, Sophia, don’t cry.”

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, trying to comfort her. Sophia was shaking all over. She said through her tears, “I thought I’d never get to see you again.”

She did not know how she had managed to survive those four days. It was not so bad when she was asleep, but her waking hours were filled with endless anxious thoughts.

Her anxiety was a problem, and Sophia was afraid that she would fall into a bout of depression because of it.

She sobbed uncontrollably. Alexander could not manage to calm her down, so he lifted her up into his arms.

The movement brought his attention to the shackles around her feet. His heart broke at the sight. He gently placed her on the bed and lowered himself to cradle her feet. “Does it hurt?”

Sophia wiped away her tears before glancing at her feet. “It doesn’t really hurt actually.”

The shackles were meant to humiliate her, and Sophia felt like a lowly prisoner with them on.

“Where are the keys?”

“I don’t know,” Sophia replied, shaking her head.

She bit her lip as she watched Alexander touch the red marks around her ankles gingerly. With him around, she felt her fear melting away.

Alexander looked up at her. “I’ll get Felix to bring a cutter.”

“Okay.” Sophia nodded.

He kissed her forehead again and said regretfully, “I got here too late.”

“No, you didn’t.”

After all, she was unhurt.

Sophia knew that her disappearance must have worried Alexander. Four days of not being able to find her must have driven him mad.

When Felix received Alexander’s call, he did not fully understand the situation, but he did not question his boss’ instructions and quickly did as he was told. As he was handing the cutter to Alexander, he caught sight of Sophia’s ankles. Realization dawned on him.
