Mr. ckwood Sr. gently stroked his daughter''s head, but his gaze shifted towards Sebastian.
Sebastian understood Mr. ckwood Sr''s intention and immediately bent down, saying, "Mr. ckwood, everything we said earlier was true. Take care of yourself, as there are many things waiting for you to do." Mr. ckwood Sr. looked into his eyes and nodded faintly.
A weekter, Mr. ckwood Sr. was discharged from the hospital.
To celebrate her father''s recovery and to dispel the shadow of his imprisonment, Joey hosted a family banquet and invited their best friends.
Sophia was the most lively among them.
She earnestly recited, "May God be with you and bless you, may you see your children''s children. May you be poor in misfortune, yet rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.."
Alexander stood behind Sophia, barely able to contain hisughter. He bent down, looking at her incessantly chatty mouth, and teased, "Seeing your children''s children and being rich in blessings? One would think you''re reciting a birthday wish."
Sophia immediately turned around, ring at him. "If you have nothing nice to say, it''s better to say nothing at all!"
She yfully kicked Alexander''s shin, then ran to Mr. ckwood Sr., linking her arm with his. She said, "Mr. ckwood, wee home. How do you like what we''ve prepared for you?"
Mr. ckwood Sr looked at the carefully decorated home, smiled, and patted Sophia''s hand, saying, "Thank you, all of you. I have some small gifts for you, too."
"Wow! Really, Dad? I''ve been working so hard these days. You must set aside the biggest one for me."
"Of course, Joey. You stay and have fun with them for now. I''ll go upstairs, take a shower, and change into fresh clothes."
Joey smiled and replied, "Sure, I''ll have the butler apany you."

Watching Mr. ckwood Sr. walk away, Sophia leaned close to Joey and whispered, "Joey, I''ve noticed Sebastian has been going to the hospital these past few days, acting like a caring boyfriend. What''s going on between you and him? You''re not getting romantically involved, are you?"
Joey smiled faintly and said, "No, not at all. Once three months have passed and my dad''s health is back on track, I''ll find a chance to exin things to him."
Sophia looked at Joey''s thin face, hesitating to speak, "Joey, have you ever thought about why Sebastian is being so nice this time? Could he be seriously considering reconciling with you?"
"No way!" Joey replied firmly. "It''s stated in the agreement that as long as I return to his side, he will ensure my dad''s safety. Now that something awful has happened, he''s just overpensating out of guilt."
"I don''t want you to reconcile with him either. I keep thinking about when you had a miscarriage and lost so much blood. He didn''t evene when you called. It''s simply inhumane."
Sophia clenched her teeth, still filled with anger at the thought of that incident.
When Joey was on the brink of life and death, Sebastian not only ignored her but also stayed with Isabe, leaving her to endure the pain of losing the child and the betrayal of her own body alone. No woman would easily forgive such a thing.
As the two were talking quietly, Alexander''s voice suddenly came from behind them.novelbin
"What''s this about a miscarriage? Did one of you have an ident of some sort?"
Sophia turned around abruptly, ring at him fiercely as a warning. "Whatever you heard just now, keep it to yourself. Don''t say anything to that despicable man!"
Alexander shrugged helplessly. "I didn''t hear anything." He pointed towards the kitchen and said with a smile, "I''ll go check if Julian''s done cooking."
As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen, but his fingers quietly tapped on the screen of his phone.
