“What?” Sophia suddenly said this, and James’ eyes were filled with disbelief.

He felt that it was already a historic change for him to become like this from the cold-faced CEO that everyone knew, but Sophia still wanted a divorce.

Had he not done enough?

Looking at James’ confusion, Sophia paused and continued, “I’m sorry, James. I thought that we were taking what we needed. After we got our marriage certificate, we would help each other avoid the urge from our families to get married. But now, it seems that my thoughts were a little naive…”

“I was too selfish. My family doesn’t allow me to have a good husband and a good family. Now that you’re injured, perhaps God is punishing me for my selfishness…”

“Is it appropriate for you to say this to a patient who has just escaped danger?” James’ tone was very cold.

“I’m sorry, I-I just want you to be fine. I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.”

“So, you’re saying this to hurt me?” James pressed on.

“I…” Sophia was speechless.

“Alright, stop talking. I don’t want to talk now.” James frowned. He really couldn’t figure out what was going on in this woman’s mind.

Why did she want to divorce him? He felt that he had indeed fulfilled his obligations as a husband during the period of time when they were getting married.

Seeing that James’ expression was very ugly, Sophia nodded and said, “Then rest well first. We’ll talk about it when you’re better.”

After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving James lying on the hospital bed. He looked at the ceiling and said angrily, “It won’t recover!”

In the hospital corridor, Charlie saw that Sophia did not look very good, so he walked up and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Why is your expression ugly? Are you too tired? If you’re too tired, go back. I’ll arrange for a nurse to take care of my cousin.”

“It’s okay. I’ll go buy him something to eat.” When Sophia saw Charlie, she was a little embarrassed and turned away.

Charlie was a little puzzled. He turned around and entered the ward. When he saw James with a sullen face, he frowned and said, “Why is your face so ugly? Cousin, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you didn’t see how worried Sister-in-law was when you fell asleep! Now that you’ve woken up, you’re giving me all kinds of cold faces.”

“That won’t do. It’ll make people feel disappointed!”

“Do you know that while you were bandaging in the operating room, my sister-in-law was guarding the door of the operating room at all times? During this period, your father-in-law even brought his sister-in-law to apologize, but they were all sent away by my sister-in-law’s cold words.”

“You’re good now and you wake up with such a sour face.”

“Get lost!” James frowned.

Charlie raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips. “Alright, just be like this. It doesn’t matter to us. If you act like this, sooner or later, you’ll force me, this innocent and kind sister-in-law, away.”

“Hurry up and get lost!” James said coldly, but his expression clearly relaxed.

When Sophia appeared at the door of the ward with food, James felt his arm itch and was scratching it.

But from Sophia’s angle, James looked like he was pulling out a syringe!

Sophia was shocked and quickly ran in to stop him. “What are you doing? Don’t move!”

Looking at Sophia’s nervous face, James smiled. “If you don’t get a divorce, I won’t pull it out.”

Err …

Sophia was a little helpless. Why was this person still acting like a child?

She shook her head and said, “Okay, don’t pull it out. I won’t mention it.”

Only then did James put down his arm and said, “Ahem, I was too harsh just now. Don’t mind me.”

Sophia was a little puzzled, but she quickly reacted and said, “It’s okay. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have told you about the divorce when you just woke up.”

“Don’t mention it again,” James said.

Sophia smiled and nodded.

However, if she didn’t mention it now, wouldn’t there be trouble?

Would James not be hurt in the future?

Looking at James’ wound, Sophia made up her mind that she had to get a divorce.

She would talk about it when James was better.

“By the way, tomorrow is my mother’s death anniversary. I want to pay my respects, so I might not be able to take care of you. Listen to the doctors and nurses.” Sophia said calmly as she cleaned up James’ leftovers.

“Hmm? Then your father and your sister will be there too?” James asked with a frown.

Ever since this series of events, James was indeed full of hostility towards Sophia’s family members.

However, he had never thought of divorcing Sophia. Every time he encountered such a thing, James’s heart ached for Sophia even more.

“Albert might go, but Jessica won’t. I won’t allow her to go!” Sophia said through gritted teeth.

Sophia couldn’t be sure whether Albert would go or not. After all, in the past, Albert would only reluctantly go after she had reminded him.

“Do you want me to find a few people to accompany you? I’m worried about you alone.” James said.

“It’s fine. My mother is already lying there. No matter how inhuman Albert is, he can’t do anything to me in front of my mother’s grave. Besides, he might not even remember.” Sophia said with a bitter smile.

Since Sophia had said so, James did not say anything else.

The next morning, Sophia went straight to her mother’s grave.

However, she hadn’t expected Albert to arrive earlier than her.

When Sophia arrived, Albert was wiping the tombstone, muttering something.

Sophia only felt that it was ironic. He had already left. What was the point of pretending to be affectionate now?!

“Mom, I’m here to see you.” As she spoke, Sophia placed her mother’s favorite carnation in front of the tombstone without even looking at Albert.

Looking at the smiling photo on her mother’s tombstone, Sophia’s heart ached.

Her mother’s greatest wish was for her to be happy, but she didn’t seem to have anything to be happy about.

“Joan, Sophia is already married. You don’t know yet, do you? Sigh.” Albert sighed. “If only you were here. You could help me persuade her.”

“Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married a poor boy who’s nothing…”

Sophia looked at Albert coldly and said angrily, “Don’t pretend to be merciful in front of my mother!”

“You child, you won’t let me speak to your mother from the bottom of my heart!”

Albert said, “This marriage of yours has always been a sore point for me. As the daughter of my Wilson family, there are so many men lining up to marry you, but you just had to marry a good-for-nothing poor boy!”

“Hasn’t Young Master George been wooing you recently? I think he really likes you. Divorce that poor kid! Wouldn’t it be better if she married George and got everything she wanted?”

“If you came here today just to say this, you can leave!” Sophia said expressionlessly.

“Sophia, you …”

“You go!” Sophia shouted hysterically.

At this time of the year, Sophia was upset. She just wanted to be quiet with her mother for a while.

At this moment, she had had enough of listening to Albert’s endless chatter!

Albert wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly changed, and he shut his mouth.

Then, he stood up and said indifferently, “If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it. You stay with your mother for a while. I’ll wait for you at the door.”

Sophia ignored Albert. Albert shook his head and walked away.

After Albert left, Sophia knelt in front of her mother’s tombstone again and said slowly, “Mom, I did marry a poor soldier, but I think he’s very good. He treats me very well, and he’s not that poor. It’s just that he’s not rich enough in front of those snobs…”

“Mom, in this world, other than you, he’s the only one who treats me well without expecting anything in return…”

As Sophia spoke, she suddenly heard a voice behind her.

“Who is it?”

Cautiously, Sophia opened her mouth to say,

Just as she was about to turn her head to take a look, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck. Her vision went black and she fainted…
