Chapter 1499
"Sir! Sophia left!’ Edmund finally reported to Lucas. Through the peephole, he saw the
door opposite them open as a nearly-dressed Sophia carried her handbag and left the
room.
It was slightly earlier than the appointed time, so he narrowed his eyes and said, ’I’ll go
talk with that good-for-nothing a-hole. Tell someone to stand guard outside, and let me
know if she returns unexpectedly."
Edmund nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, sir."
Lucas opened the door and made sure Sophia was no longer in the corridor. Hethen swiftly
moved forward and knocked on the door across from him.
After approximately a minute, the suite's door opened.
Just like the previous day, Lucas had to lower his gaze to see Zachary seated in a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwheelchair.
Zachary looked up at him, and his calm gaze seemed unsurprised at Lucas's early visit.
"You're here."
Lucas immediately sought confirmation, "That woman won't be returning anytime soon,
right?"
Zachary nodded. "Come on in."
Lucas entered the suite upon Zachary's invitation. The layout of the suite was nearly
identical to the one across from it.
Zachary raised his chin slightly to gesture toward the sofa. "Have a seat. I'll get you
something to drink."
Lucas raised his hand and replied, "No thanks. I'm not here to get a drink."
Zachary had already turned toward the pantry to fetch a drink, but he decided against it
after hearing Lucas. He came back to the lounge and said, "Okay, then. Fire away your
questions."
Lucas gazed into Zachary's eyes before looking at his legs. It seemed as though they were
unable to support the man anymore.
Lucas was quiet for a moment before asking, "What happened to your legs? n
"A car accident," Zachary replied.
Lucas sneered. "So let me get this straight. Your amnesia is also a result of the car
accident?"
Zachary nodded. "According to everyone else, yes."
Lucas's eyebrow twitched as he asked coldly, "According to everyone else? N
Zachary had an indifferent expression. He provided whatever information he knew and
said, "It's because of the amnesia that my life experiences and memories are all
recounted to me by other people."
Lucas scrutinized Zachary's face as if trying to discern if the latter was being truthful. He
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould not find any trace of guilt, so Lucas questioned again, "How did the child next to you
come to be? Don't you remember anything about him?"
Zachary replied, "No. I was told that Benjamin is the child I fathered with Sophia. He's
been around for as long as I can remember."
Lucas was seething with hatred and resentment as he remembered all that Corinne
suffered over the years. He clenched his fists and said, "How convenient. You've forgotten
everything, and you're living a very carefree life now! Allow me to enlighten you then.
That child was taken from Corinne in the delivery room under the pretext that you were
her husband!"
Zachary appeared taken aback, and a trace of doubt crept into his expression. "Corinne?
Are you saying that I was married to a woman named Corinne?"
Lucas wanted to nod, but could Jeremy and Corinne be considered husband and wife when
there had not been any marriage license between his sister and that ungrateful man?
