Chapter 196 The Mad Game

Menu

But the one who was even more shocked was Zoey. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she asked Henry, "Henry, who who did you say you're going to marry?

Henry stopped in his tracks and gave Zoey a cold look.

I'm going to marry Lyla."

You... you don't love her. You love me! She's just my stand-in! Now that I'm back, I'm standing right in front of you. Why would you still marry my stand-in

She was shocked, confused, in pain, and furious, but Henry found her ridiculous

"You betrayed me. How could you think I'd still want you?"

"But you."

"Yes, I do love you, but I can't accept your betrayal! I'm going to marry Lyla, your stand-in, for one simple reason-she's pure! I may never stop loving you, but I'll also never forgive you, Zoey. It hurts doesn't it? I'm in pain too, but all of this is your doing!" This insane declaration left everyone present stunned, but at that moment, Sonya understood Henry. He loved Zoey, but his hatred was as deep as his love. This love and hatred didn't depend on whether Zoey was alive or dead. He had been in pain all along, and the best revenge he could take on Zoey was to make her suffer as much as he did. Zoey was a madwoman, and she had driven Henry mad, too. As for Lyla, her expression shifted dramatically-from panic and fear to relief and even a hint of smugness

Sonya believed it wouldn't be long before Lyla went mad, too.

Seeing all this, Sonya took several steps back.

At that moment, she felt incredibly lucky to have escaped this mad game.

On the first floor of the outpatient building, Sonya saw Brian and Milton still waiting. Milton had fallen asleep, his head resting on Brian's lap as he lay on the bench.

Sonya jogged over."Sorry to keep you waiting so long. I'll stay at the hospital tonight to keep my friend company. Prof. Wesley, please take Milton home."

Brian, who had also dozed off, lifted his head

"She's fine. Her injuries aren't serious."

Brian nodded. "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

"Thank you."

groggily."Alright. By the way, how's your friend?

Brian smiled and asked Sonya to help lift Milton. He stood up, stretched, then crouched down to let Milton climb onto his back.

Milton, drowsy and yawning, obediently climbed on, and Brian hoisted him up.

"We'll head back now."

As they were about to leave, Milton asked Sonya to kiss him.

Brian chuckled. "How old are you, still acting like a baby?"

Milton pouted."Mom kisses me every night."

Those words filled Brian with guilt, and he looked at Sonya, silently asking her to fulfill his son's little wish. Sonya asked him to bend down a little, then
