Chapter 253
It was a heart-wrenching sight. Sophia was stumped for two seconds before she finally came back to
her senses and asked, “Mrs. Gomez, what can I do for you?”
“The medicine, Ms. Yarrow. Please help me fetch Tanya''s medicine.”
The problem was, Sophia didn''t know where the medicine was. Hence, she walked over and reached
out to hug Tanya instead. “Tanya, don''t be afraid. It''s me, Sophia. Nobody will be able to hurt you.
Believe me.”
Tanya was taken aback and froze.
Meanwhile, it only took Tanya''s mother, Laura, a while to fetch her medicine, and Tanya quickly felt
sleepy after her mother fed it to her.
Sophia and Laura took Tanya back to her room. There was nothing else in it, save for a wooden bed
and a wooden study desk.
Tanyay on the bed and stared nkly at the ceiling.
It was painful for Tanya''s mother to see her daughter in such a state. She wiped away her tears and left
the room.
Sophia trailed behind her and said, “Mrs. Gomez, I need to talk to you for a moment.”
Though surprised by Sophia''s request, she said, “Okay.”
The two of them went back to the living room. Sophia, who was holding a ss of water in her hands,
felt a heavy weight bearing down on her chest. “Mrs. Gomez, I''m Sophia Yarrow. Tanya might not have
mentioned me to you before, but I''d like to let you know that she saved my life five years ago. Connor
had wanted to target me back then, and Tanya was the one who alerted me about it. That was how he
got locked behind bars.”
Sophia felt a lump in her throat as recounted the incident. “I''m sorry, Mrs. Gomez. I didn''t know
something like that would happen.”
Tanya''s mother was deep in her own thoughts and said nothing.
Sophia wiped away the tears brimming in her eyes and said, “Mrs. Gomez, I wasn''t the one who put
Tanya in this state, but I certainly yed a role in this. I feel the obligation to take care of her.”
Laura could vaguely sense what Sophia was getting at and asked, “Ms. Yarrow, what are you trying to
say?”
“Firstly, I would like to apologize for not asking for your consent. I asked my secretary to find out about
you and Tanya''s living conditions these few years. Tanya''s alert back then saved my life. She''s not
doing well now. Besides, you and her father are also getting old. I hope this doesn''te off weird. I
wish that Tanya can recover as soon as possible, as I am very much looking forward to seeing the
lively and bubbly Tanya again soon.”
As Sophia talked, she took out a card from her bag.
It was the card that she used for her daily expenses, and there was not much on it —only about three
hundred thousand. However, it was enough to support Tanya''s family for the time being.
“There''s about three hundred thousand on the card, and here''s the key to a small unit I own in the city. I
hope you don''t take this the wrong way, Mrs. Gomez. I really hope you would ept my help,” Sophia
added.
“Ms. Yarrow —”
Sophia interjected Laura. She already knew what Laura was going to say and had already thought it
through in the car when she was on the way there. “I''ll ask my secretary toe to help you and Tanya
move tomorrow, and she''ll bring along an agreement. Just tell Tanya that I''m not just giving away the
money and the house. They''re actually on loan. The agreement will state that you have to return them
eventually. As long as Tanya can recover, this amount of money is actually not much to her at all.”
Laura''s eyes brimmed with tears in response. “Ms. Yarrow, I really don''t know how to thank you. Even
though Tani did save you back then, I know she must think that she was only doing what was right as a
friend.”
Sophia was touched by her remarks. Only kind and loving parents like Laura and her husband could
have raised an outstanding woman like Tanya.
Unfortunately, Tanya''s life had been nothing but one hardship after another. However, Sophia was
positive that Tanya''s life would only get better from then on.
“There is one more thing that I''d like to ask for your opinion, Mrs. Gomez,” Sophia added.
“Ms. Yarrow, you''re a true friend to Tanya. Just ask away. As long as it is beneficial for Tanya, I''ll surely
agree to it.”
Laura only had a daughter. She couldn''t bear to see Tanya in such a miserable state, not especially
when Tanya''s best days were still ahead of her.
Sophia pursed her lips before saying, “I''ve investigated Tanya''s marriage. Her husband is not a good
man. If you trust me, I can arrange for Tanya to get divorced from him.”
“If the scoundrel hadn''t vehemently opposed to the idea, Tanya would have divorced him long ago! Ms.
Yarrow, if you really have a way to let Tanya divorce that b*stard and liberate her from that living hell, I''ll
be eternally grateful to you!” Laura said.
“Mrs. Gomez, please don''t feel obligated. I just want to help Tanya,” Sophia said.
Sophia actually med herself for what happened to Tanya. If she had asked Yvonne to keep tabs on
Tanya for a few more days, Tanya wouldn''t have ended up like this.
“Ms. Yarrow, you''re a kind woman, and you''re surely going to be rewarded for your kindness. It''s
gettingte. Let me make you something to eat. I don''t have much to offer, but I can cook quite well,”
Laura suggested.
“Sure, Mrs. Gomez. Take your time. Don''t rush. I''ll leave after having lunch,” Sophia reassured her.
“Sure! Do watch the TV for a moment. I''m going to prepare the dishes. It''ll be ready in no time.”
Sophia did not turn on the TV. Instead, she went to Tanya''s room.
She seemed to have fallen asleep after taking the medicine.
Tanya looked peaceful in her sleep. Nobody would have guessed that she just had a sudden mental
breakdown and went hysterical.
Sophia was actually d that they were around when Tanya had a breakdown. She dared not think
about Tanya attempting to take her own life when she was all alone in her room in the middle of the
night.
After having lunch, Sophia left after leaving Laura her private number.
On her way back, she contacted Yvonne to arrange for Tanya to meet a psychologist, as well as to help
her and Laura move.
When she was almost done, Sophia suddenly recalled something and said. “As for Tanya''s father...
Let''s employ another security guard for the office.”
Yvonne understood Sophia''s intention right away and said, “I''ll ask an assistant to arrange for her to
meet a psychologist.”
Sophia paused for a moment and said, “Find out about Tanya''s husband, Liam Mill, and while you''re at
that, get me information on the Mill family as well.”
The Mill family was rtively well-off and had good connections too. Thus, Liam was able to establish a
smallpany. In Tanya''s hometown, the Mill family was considered a rather affluent family.
“All right, Ms. Yarrow.”
At night, after Sophia was done having dinner, she wiped the corners of her mouth and asked
Alexander, “Could you help me make an appointment with Mr. Schild?”
Alexander did not query her intention and merely asked, “Tonight?”
“Yes.”
Sophia smiled in response. However, it was apparent that she was not in a good mood.
Alexander held her hand and asked, “What happened, Sophia?”

She cast him a nce and briefly told him what happened to Tanya. “If she hadn''t alerted me back
then, Connor would have gotten his way that night. I went to visit her today. She''s not doing well. Her
eyes were so hollow, and it seemed like she had lost all her spirit. What''s left of her is merely a
miserable ghost of her past lively and bubbly self.”
“Sophia, don''t me yourself. You and your friend are both the victim of that incident.”
Sophia pursed her lips. “You''re right, Alexander.”
She vowed to make Connor pay for what he did.
“I''m going to settle the scores with Connor.”
“Let me help you,” Alexander chimed in.
Sophia looked at him. This time, she did not reject him and said, “Okay.”
