Chapter 18

Sophia had been staying at Oliver’s private villa for the past few days, and the change in her appearance was evident. A healthier glow had returned to her complexion, signaling an improvement in her overall well being Oliver had thoughtfully arranged for Luna Baker, her close mend, to accompany her With Luna by her side, Sophia found it easier to navigate through various situations, making her stay less awkward and more comforting.

“Sophia, is everything alright with your health? You’ve been resting for nearly five days now, but you still don’t seem quite yourself,” Luna inquired, her concern evident in her voice.

Feeling touched by Luna’s care, Sophia found solace in her friend’s presence, a brief respite from the solitude that often consumed her. “I’m alright. Perhaps I’ve been under too much stress lately, draining my energy completely. After a few more days of rest, I’ll be back to my old selt Please don’t worry.”

Sophia hadn’t disclosed the severity of her health decline to Luna yet, choosing to keep it concealed for now. She didn’t want to weigh down her genuine friend with the news, as the burden was hers to bear alone.

As soon as Luna heard Sophia mention stress, her thoughts immediately turned to Jason Wilson, that despicable man. Anger simmered within her. “Why don’t you consider teaming up with my boss? Let him assist you in destroying the Wilson family. Let Jason taste the bitterness of betrayal, too!”

The person Luna was referring to was none other than Oliver Clark.

Sophia couldn’t help but laugh at Luna’s suggestion and was about to respond when her phone rang, interrupting their conversation. “I’ll take this call first,” she said, grabbing her phone and going to the balcony.

After a brief moment, Sophia finished her call and told Luna, “Luna, Grandma needs me, so I have to go back to the Wilson’s to meet her.”

Upon hearing this, Luna swiftly rose, insisting, “I understand you can’t refuse Grandma Alison’s request, considering how well she treats you. in that case, I’ll accompany you.”

Aware of Luna’s concern, Sophia smiled as she said, “If you accompany me, Grandma might interpret it as me being wary of her. How would she feel?”
