Chapter 106: Running Away From Home

Sophia remained speechless. Henry, grieving the loss of Zoey Smith, had sought comfort from his father, only to be abandoned.

And Brenda. He must have known how she felt about him, yet he allowed her closeness, perhaps seeing her as a lifeline, only to be abandoned by her as well.

-Sophia couldn't imagine how Henry had endured that time; it must have been incredibly difficult. Then he'd lost his memory, forgetting his love for Zoey Smith, his hatred for Father Reynolds, his injuries, and then he came back.

He hadn't deliberately erased his memories; he was saving himself.

"You don't know what he did there, he..."

Sophia shook her head, stopping Father Reynolds.

I don't want to know."

She had decided to separate from Henry. She wanted to preserve the good memories she had of

him.

Leaving the ward, Sophia saw Linda outside, sobbing uncontrollably.

Back home, Henry wasn't there. Worrying, she was about to call him when Mrs. Sterling called.

"Jay's grandfather passed away. Henry went back to his hometown to handle the funeral arrangements. He asked me to tell you not to worry about him." Sophia replied, 'Okay, I understand."

Sophia, is something wrong between you and Henry?"

"There are issues."

Mrs. Sterling sighed. I can guess what it's about. Henry's encounter with Zoey Smith in his youth was definitely the biggest calamity of his life."

Sophia chuckled bitterly. She didn't know Zoey Smith, but she had become her calamity.

The renovation of the old house was almost finished. Sophia planned to move her things there, then finalize the divorce with Henry once he returned.

She was packing when the doorbell rang. It was Mr. Givens, followed by a man in a suit.
