Sophia's pale face showed a faint smile. "I'm fine, I was just too tired and fell asleep."

Sharon retorted, "Nonsense, who falls asleep on the floor? The gas was on in the house, Sophia. Don't do anything stupid, okay?"

Sophia replied, "Alright, I understand."

At that moment, Lucas walked in, his eyes fixed on Sophia's pale face, his expression tense.

"Lucas, I'm sorry I scared you. I'm really fine. If you have something to do, you should go ahead," Sophia said, her face showing a gentle understanding.

Sharon interjected, "What could he possibly be busy with? He was probably thinking about that other woman. Sophia, you shouldn't have saved him back then. You lost a leg for him, and now you almost died!"

"Sharon, stop talking," Sophia interrupted, then began coughing violently.

Lucas stepped forward and handed her a glass of water.

Sophia struggled to sit up but accidentally slipped. Lucas frowned as he saw her struggle.

Sharon snapped, "What are you waiting for? Help Sophia!"

"I can manage..." Sophia said weakly, trying to get up again but slipping once more.

Lucas reached out to steady her, supporting her as she leaned weakly against him and drank the water.

Seeing this, Sharon quickly took out her phone and snapped a photo. "Lucas, you should divorce that woman and take care of Sophia."

Lucas' voice was cold and indifferent. "It's not your place to tell me what to do."

Sharon's face darkened, and she wanted to argue but was

Sophia, having drunk the water, looked a bit better and stopped coughing. "Lucas, don't blame Sharon. She's just worried."

Lucas looked at her. "Do you need more water?"

Sophia shook her head. "No, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Lucas placed the glass aside and stood up to leave.

Sophia grabbed the hem of his shirt, looking at him with tearful eyes. "Lucas, tell me, you will divorce her, right? What you said before about using her as my shield, was that true?" Lucas frowned. "You're weak right now. Don't overthink things."

Sophia's tears began to fall, her pale, delicate face evoking pity. Lucas, you promised me you would divorce her. Why are you still together after all this time?

"If... if you really fell in love with Miss Young, just tell me. I'll let go. You don't need to worry about my leg. I'm used to the prosthetic. now; I can live just fine."

Lucas felt a wave of frustration. When he first regained his memory and learned that Sophia had saved him and lost a leg because of it, he felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her.

But now...

He gently placed her back on the bed, his voice cold. "Sophia, I will compensate you. Just rest well."

With that, he tumed and left.

"Hey, you..."

Sharon tried to say something.

"Sharon, let it be." Sophia stopped her.

As the door closed, Sharon fumed, "What does he mean by this? Is he really not going to divorce that woman? What about you?

Sophia turned to look out the window. The sky had completely darkened, reflecting a cold, bleak look in her eyes.
