Jason abruptly rose from the sofa, disregarding Sophia entirely, his eyes filled with intense worry
and anxiety. Mere moments ago, he had received another urgent message from Ada. Jason! I’m in
excruciating pain, and I see blood.]
Realizing he had to hurry to check on Ada, Jason turned to Sophia and said, “I just remembered
Grandma called this afternoon, asking me to visit her after returning to the country. You should rest
soon, and don’t stay upte watching television. I probably won’t be back tonight.”
With that, he didn’t wait for her response. He walked briskly to the door, each stepden with a
sense of urgency.
Observing his hurried departure, Sophia couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle. However, her
laughter swiftly transformed into bitterness as tears welled in her eyes, tracing silent paths down her
cheeks. ‘I couldn’t get him to stay, after all? He didn’t even let me finish a sentence.” she thought
with a pang of resignation, the weight of his abrupt departure settling heavily upon her.
“Jason, do you still remember our child, the one who died on the operating table?” Sophia’s voice
was barely above a whisper, choked with emotion. “And tomorrow… do you recall? It’s her death
anniversary.” Tears continued to cascade down her cheeks, each drop a testament to the enduring
pain etched within her heart.
The following day, Sophia lingered at the cemetery’s entrance, her patience stretching from the
break of dawn to the cloak of dusk, yet Jason failed to appear. As twilight surrendered to darkness,
she reluctantly opened the car door, cradling the toys intended for her daughter, her heart heavy
with disappointment. N?velDrama.Org content.
Under the shroud of night, the cemetery assumed an unsettling stillness, broken only by the
haunting cries of a few vultures circling in the night sky above the sprawling grounds. Her
daughter’s grave, positioned at the farthest corner,y adorned with a ck, wordless tombstone,
standing sentinel amidst the shadows of the night.
Though Sophia had been merely two months pregnant when she miscarried, she had insisted on
preserving the fetus intact. Thus, interred beneath the tombstoney the tangible remnants of her
beloved daughter.
As she walked along the path to her daughter’s tomb, Sophia couldn’t help but wonder if Jason was
now tenderly cradling Ada, nurturing the life within her womb. Yet amidst all these thoughts, sorrow
washed over her as she realized that he likely had entirely forgotten about her poor child who was
resting in the cold embrace of the cemetery.
After stopping in front of the grave, Sophia slowly squatted down, tenderly cing the toys from her
hands onto the ground. Her fingertips grazed the icy surface of the tombstone, an indescribable
pain spreading from her heart, enveloping her entirely.
“Darling, it must be so cold underground,” her voice choking up. “Hang in there a little longer.
Mommy will be with you soon.”
The piercing cold of the winter night seeped into Sophia’s bones, and within a mere thirty minutes,
her entire body was gripped by an aching chill. Her heart, once wounded by a fatal blow, now
throbbed with intense pain.
In the distance, lights flickered, apanied by the echoing calls of the cemetery caretaker.
Though Sophia longed to respond, she was consumed by waves of pain. Her consciousness
gradually slipped away, plunging her into the abyss of endless darkness.
When Sophia regained consciousness, she found herself lying in the back of a car. Summoning her
strength, she sat up and surveyed the

Interior before turning to the person in the driver’s seat.
Though the car belonged to her, the driver was none other than the cemetery caretaker she had
encountered before. “Did you carry my from the cemetery?” Sophia asked.
The middle–aged man nced at her and replied, “You fainted from the cold. If I hadn’t intervened,
you might not have made it
Sophia smiled weakly, murmuring her thanks before inquiring. “Where are you taking me?”
Judging by the direction, it didn’t seem to be her home, and he probably didn’t know her address
either. The middle–aged man deftly steered the car towards a luxury vi estate.
“I don’t know where you live. I could only use your phone to contact your husband. A woman
answered the call and instructed me to take you to ssa Garden Vi No. 12,” the cemetery
caretaker exined.
Upon hearing this, Sophia clenched her fist, feeling the pain in her chest re up once more.
Jason always had his phone on him. Who else could have answered it besides Ada?‘ Sophia’s mind
raced with suspicion. “Did she tantly reveal their secret love nest? Is this her scheme to bring me
here and then unt her sessful conquest of Jason?”
“Actually, could you send me to…” Sophia started, hoping to escape the painful reality of her
husband’s betrayal.
But before she could finish her sentence, the middle–aged man abruptly braked the car and
interrupted her. Turning to her, he announced, “Mrs. Wilson, we’ve arrived.”
