"I'm surprised you've still got an appetite, Jasper. I wouldn't have any appetite at all if I were you." Silas chugged an entire cup of cold water. He slammed his cup on the table and said, "The hearing for Sophia's case officially begins next Friday."

Everyone hadn't seen Sophia in a long time. Their faces turned gloomy at the mention of her name.

Jasper twitched his eyebrow slightly. His voice was tense and hoarse. He was doing his utmost best to suppress the sharp pain in his heart.

Alyssa's heart raced. The tears in her eyes glistened slightly. Under the table, she reached over slowly for Jasper's hand. She held his hand tightly.

Jasper interlocked his fingers with hers immediately, as if he was grasping onto the only ray of light in the dark. He gazed deeply into her eyes.
