Chapter 735


    Leave?


    Nicole thought she had heard it wrongly.


    Cooper must know about Sophia, but why is he not taking action after hearing that she is dying?


    Is he cold-blooded?


    Nicole was unwilling to give up. She ran after him and pleaded, “Please, save her! She is dying!


    Please! I’m begging you, Cooper!”


    But Cooper ignored her, strode forward, and got into the car emotionlessly.


    The engine started again.


    Hearing the noise of the engine, Nicole fell into despair. She suddenly exploded and dashed toward


    Sophia like a gust of wind.


    Sophia had lost her consciousness and was leaning against the rock. There was still slight breathing as


    her chest rose and fell, and there was a dead little girl lying next to her. Their hands were held together.


    Nicole knew that Sophia would be the next to die if she didn’t get the cure.


    She never knew she had such strength. She felt nothing as she carried Sophia and ran toward Cooper’s


    car before he left. She put Sophia on the ground and kneeled down, blocking the way.


    Nicole looked up and stared at Cooper in the passenger seat. “Cooper! Her name is Sophia Edwards,


    from Cethos. Her dad is Joe Edwards, and her mom was Annabel Johnson. Her uncle’s name is Liam


    Johnson, and Taylor Murray is her husband. She said you were her rtive, and she’d been looking for


    you. She always kept the amulet with her. You must know her!” Nicole shouted with her loudest voice.


    “She’s dying. Please, save her! Save her!”


    Nicole’s voice was hoarse, and her throat was hurting as she spoke.


    The paparazzis investigated Sophia’s family background when the news that she was sexually assaulted


    by her uncle leaked. Nicole learned about her mother’s name then.


    Since Cooper was her rtive, someone from her dad or mom’s side—or someone from her husband’s


    family—must know Cooper!


    The cold-blooded man in the car was stunned when he heard a particr name.


    Cooper soon got out of the car again and walked toward Nicole. His eyes were fixated on the deeply


    infected girl in her arms.


    The girl’s face was starting to swell up and ulcerate, and her breathing was weak. She was at the edge


    of dying—she might die anytime. Her young, beautiful face was withering gradually, and her life was


    coming to an end.


    Nicole finally saw emotions in Cooper’s cold eyes. There was shock, disbelief, and a slight doubt.


    “What was her m-mother’s name?” he asked, his voice hoarse all of a sudden.


    It turns out he was her mom’s distant rtive.


    “Her mom was Annabel Johnson! She had a brother named Liam Johnson, who used to be a primary


    school teacher.”


    Nicole remembered the information those unscrupulous paparazzis posted. She didn’t dare to forget


    anything rted to her.


    Cooper slowly took down the gas mask and gloves, exposing his looks that hadn’t changed in over a


    decade; he still looked handsome as ever. Nevertheless, time did leave some marks on him, making him


    even colder and merciless.


    He reached out his arms and slowly touched the fragile skin of that girl.


    He could still see someone familiar through that swollen face of hers.


    “W-When was she born?” Cooper’s voice seemed to be shaking a little. His eyes were flickering, for he


    couldn’t believe what he was seeing.


    Nicole recalled the time when Sophia was ying a small role in the same production in the film studio.


    She mentioned visiting the pandas at the Panda Foundation on her birthday in September, and she soon


    learned about Taylor going live at the Panda Foundation!


    “September! She will turn twenty-six this September!” she calcted Sophia’s birthday and answered


    quickly.


    Twenty-six… Born in September!


    Cooper’s hands were trembling, and the expression on his face changed from shock to grief.


    “Sophia… Sophia Edwards… A-Annabel’s daughter?”


    Cooper’s blue eyes were fixated on her as he murmured.


    Nicole saw him being stunned, as if he was learning something he couldn’t ept. “Mr. Mitchell, she is


    dying. Please, save her!” she held onto him and begged eagerly.


    Only then did Cooper pull himself back. Looking anxious, he said no more and carried Sophia into the


    car while Nicole followed right behind.


    The car soon drove back into the castle.


    Nicole realized that it was apletely different world behind the tall walls. It was the end of the world


    outside, but it was heaven in there. There was greenery, flowers, birds, mountains,kes, and even an


    airport and arge garden.


    Cooper carried Sophia to the medical center as soon as they got out of the car. It was the only ce on


    earth with the cure for Virs-18.


    The doctors from the medical center suited up and got the equipment ready as soon as they got the


    news. Cooper put Sophia on the operating table carefully. He was covered in her blood and was


    dumbfounded as he looked at Sophia, who was like a lump of rotten meat.


    The doctors shook their heads when they saw Sophia.


    It’s toote, toote…


    “Save her.” Cooper’s voice was extraordinarily husky, and that was all he said.


    Sophia was pushed into the emergency room, while Cooper stood outside for several hours without


    moving at all, as if he was rooted to the ground.


    Soon, a stack of documents about Sophia’s background was passed into his hands. Cooper took off his


    gloves that were covered in her pus and blood, and his fair hands took the documents. He flipped


    through the first two pages.


    ‘Sophia Edwards, born on 18th September, 199X. Mother: Annabel Edwards, died from postpartum


    amniotic fluid embolism.’


    A photo of a youngdy was attached in the document. The photo was taken in a studio, and the young,


    pregnantdy was wearing an outdated dress. She was holding her baby bump and was smiling in


    contentment.


    The photo was taken in June, 199X.


    It was Annabel Edwards!


    Cooper was eighteen when he saw her dying right before his eyes, watching as her body was burnt into


    ashes by the Mitchell family before they threw her ashes into the drain!


    Yet it was now revealed that she was pregnant and had taken a photo in a studio five months after her


    death!


    Cooper seemed to have understood the truth. The hatred that he had been holding for the past twenty


    years dissipated. He kneeled down slowly as he leaned against the wall, and the documents in his hands


    fell onto the ground.

    The hatred and resentment were relinquished along with his tears.


    “Dad, why did you lie to me… why… why?”


    It was Woody Mitchell who captured them from elopement, fed her poison right before his eyes, and sent


    her into the incinerator. He even made him witness the scene of her being cremated.


    He just watched his loved one cremated and vanished before him.


    He was filled with great pain and hatred.


    He never suspected anything. He never thought his dad might have yed tricks to save Annabel, much


    less kept it from him for all these years.He didn’t even know that Annabel gave birth to a daughter for


    him!
