Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1250

Rick held the medicine out to Gordon with a look that bordered on desperation. "Sir, please take your medicine, alright?"

"Take it, get some sleep, and you'll feel better tomorrow," Rick coaxed gently. "Ms. Sophie will still be here tomorrow. Isn't she always right in front of you?"

Gordon felt a bit of the weight lift off his shoulders at Rick's words.

Yeah.

She was still alive.

Just as he had always pictured her.

Beautiful, gracious, and smart.

She was married now, supposedly happy.

And she would be happy for the rest of her life.

"Being Mrs. Aldridge is dangerous. Her current situation is the best outcome I could have hoped for her," Gordon thought.

He swallowed the medicine, feeling the bitter taste linger.

Then, he leaned back on the bed, hoping for some light sleep.

As if with the nightfall, he would be transported back to that day sixteen years ago.

Back then, Sophie was just six.
