Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 526

"Do you really know what your child—and your husband-have been hiding from you?" Sophia's voice, cold and mocking, echoed down the dimly lit emergency stairwell of the hospital.

Mila froze in place.

Sophia only laughed.

She traced the vivid red handprint blooming across her cheek, her eyes blazing with fury. Suddenly, she leaned in, her tone taunting. "Do you want to know? I could tell you everything-the real truth. I could rip away the lies and show you the world for what it is. You're just so..... pitiful. Ha! Hahahaha!”

He promised he wouldn't!

Mila forced herself to focus, cold sweat trickling down her back. Her hand, still clutching the knife, gradually steadied. The resolve returned to her eyes. "I trust my child."
