Chapter 1071


    “Dad, these are all Mom’s belongings,” Sophiained as she picked up the photos. All of a sudden,


    Cooper lit up a lighter and threw it to the floor in an attempt to burn all the photos.


    All the items on the floor, which were soaked in alcohol, started ming immediately. A short moment


    later, all Annabel’s belongings were burned to ashes.


    Sophia was bbergasted by the mes in the room. Fortunately, the housekeeping robot immediately


    sprayed out powder to put out the fire.


    In the burning room, Cooper startedughing hysterically. “Hahaha, it’s all fake. It’s all fake! Anna doesn’t


    love me. She doesn’t love me…”


    Sophia avoided the fire and ran over to restrain her father, who was swinging his hands madly in the


    air. “Dad! Are you okay?”


    Having lost his mind, Cooper started bawling and cursing. He had been an indifferent man for all his life,


    but it turned out that the only woman he loved was just an undercover to destroy him.


    Hearing the noise, Linus and Michael rushed over to the room, only to see that the ce was aze,


    and Cooper was throwing a tantrum. Michael was stunned because he had never seen his father-inw


    so wildly drunk before.


    To everyone’s shock, Cooper then shoved his daughter away. “All of you, go away!”


    Sophia fell backward from the impact, and her head hit the desk with a loud thud, which caused Michael


    to be heartbroken. “Sophia!” Michael lunged forward and helped her up.


    cing her hand on her head, Sophia stared at her father in disbelief. Did he just tell me to go


    away? Gazing at her father in a daze, she then felt some warm liquid on her head. When she lowered


    her hand and took a look, she realized that her hand was covered in blood.


    Meanwhile, Cooper was still making a scene. Linus tried to put him under control, but he was also


    shoved aside.


    While Sophia was rooted to the spot, Michael’s expression suddenly turned grave as he carried her up


    and stepped out of the Edwards Residence. After that, he told someone to send Carmen home.


    Sophia was traumatized by the fact that her father had told her to go away. For that instant, she recalled


    what the imposter said before her death. “He could kill my child in an unfeeling manner, so he will also


    kill you and your brother coldly!”


    I was born to be my mother’s tool. Will Cooper kill Linus and me if he finds it necessary to do so? With


    her head spinning and buzzing, Sophia slumped into Michael’s embrace.


    When she awakened once again, she realized that she was in a hospital. Her head was wounded from


    the crash on the desk. The X-ray results showed that she suffered from a mild concussion, so the doctor


    advised that she should be hospitalized for two days.


    Inside the ward, she curled up on the bed and spaced out. Her eyes had lost their luster, looking all


    hollow. She was still sorrowful that her father had told her to go away.


    Now, she recalled that time after she regained consciousness in Africa, Cooper found her and started


    doting on her. At that time, she felt that she was the happiest person on earth. But…


    Curled up under the quilt, she said in a weakened voice, “Hubby, I feel cold.”


    Michael had been staying with her to keep herpany. At the moment, he was working on hisptop.


    Hearing what she said, he rose from the chair and took a seat beside her. Holding her hands, he said


    gently, “Should I raise the temperature in the room? Your hands feel cold.” Covering her hands with his


    palms, he was trying to give her warmth.


    However, rather than feeling cold physically, what she truly felt was that her heart was frozen all over.


    In the past, she would jump at every chance to look for her father, but she would always be disappointed


    eventually. She was like a beautiful flower that bloomed to face the sunshine, but it slowly withered after


    countless disappointments.


    Her head was bandaged. Although her injury wasn’t serious, she seemed to have lost her soul. It was


    her heart, rather than her body, that pained her.


    She craved familial bond, but after she reunited with her family members, she realized that her family


    was built on lies. Worse still, her father might kill her at any moment. How was she supposed to ept


    this? Having gone through all of these, she had be exhausted.


    Although Michael was busy with work, he would never leave her because he knew that she needed him


    for the time being. Holding her hand with one palm, he covered her body with a quilt with his other hand


    as he asked, “What do you want for dinner? I’ll buy it for youter.”


    Although Sophia had lost her appetite, she understood that she had to take care of her body. “I want


    some steak and sashimi.”


    Michael replied, “Alright. I’ll order the food for you. Take a rest now. When you wake up, we’ll have dinner


    together.”


    Sophia nodded. After Michael adjusted the quilt for her, he rose from the chair and left the room to ce


    the order. Before he closed the door, he took a look at the sleeping Sophia and the dog lying beside the


    bed.


    Then, he headed for the office of the chief neurologist of the hospital. On this day, many famous


    neurologists and psychiatrists in Bayside City had gathered up. After examining the X-rays of Sophia’s


    brain, they started their analysis and discussion.


    Eventually, one of them announced in a sympathetic tone, “Mr. Fletcher, I’m sorry to inform you that your


    wife lost her memory because of permanent nerve damage, so her memory can never be restored.”


    Michael wasn’t surprised to hear that.

    Since Sophia’s head was injured earlier, he decided to have her brain examined by neurologists as well


    in an attempt to restore her memories so that she couldpensate for her regrets. She didn’t have a


    father for the past twenty plus years, so it shouldn’t be hard for her to ept the fact that she might lose


    her father again. But…


    Exhausted, Michael waved his hand. “Thanks, gentlemen. You may leave now.”


    After the doctors left the room, he went to the corner and called Quinton. After the call was connected,


    he asked, “Is there really no hope to restore Sophia’s memory?”


    Startled for a moment, Quinton then replied in a solemn manner, “My master is the second generation of


    the Phantom Wolf. Since young, he had been trained by the Yard Family to be a secret agent. After


    he left the Yard Family, he also brought with him a lot of useful information. Previously, the Yards were a


    royal family. They were so cruel that they had invented all sorts of torture methods to destroy their


    enemies. During this process, they discovered that when a person was suffering from immense pain, he


    would lose part of and even all his memory. My master then delved deeper into the research and even


    came up with a theory with the help of modern technology. When he left the Yards, he also brought his


    research with him. I had read the ancient books my master took from the Yard Residence and learned


    that this is a kind of permanent damage. No person in history has ever had their memory restored


    before… I’m sorry to break this to you.”


    Upon hearing his exnation, Michael let out a long breath. It seems that there’s no other way to help


    her. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “Tell me about Anna Yard and the Yard twins. I want to


    know all the details.”


    Sophia told him before that the Yard twins were test tube babies. At the thought of this, he recalled that


    the imposter said that she was a surrogate mother for Annabel.


    Ronney City, test tube babies… What’s the link between all these clues? Unfortunately, thest time I


    went to the Yard Residence, I couldn’t make out the face of Anna Yard…
