Sophia then checked the subsequent results. Alas, they all pointed to the same possibility. She felt her mind
splintering, but it was only momentary, for it then reverted to normal. In reality, she’d already guessed the verdict
while waiting for the results.
Putting down her cell phone, she placed both hands on her stomach. A jumble of complex emotions roiled within
her. Am I happy? Sad? Conflicted? Regretful? Probably all of the above. She closed her eyes as they burned
slightly. Why do I have to fall pregnant at this time? Why now? Flipping over, she then curled into herself and slowly
fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Robin had been preoccupied the entire afternoon. When it was almost dusk, Logan came over to the
shop, seemingly dropping by on his way elsewhere. However, when he didn’t see Sophia upon coming in, his brows
creased slightly. “What happened? Did Sophia take the day off?”
Her voice sullen, Robin replied, “She didn’t come over the entire day. It seems that she isn’t feeling well.”
“She isn’t feeling well?” At this, Logan became a tad anxious. “I’ll go and visit her, then!”
Robin, who was cleaning the place, abruptly stilled. “You’re going over to Sophia’s place? May I tag along? I want to
go and visit her, too.”
Not thinking much of it, Logan nodded right away. “Sure. Just close up after straightening everything, and we’ll go
together.”

his car, the two of them went straight to Sophia’s house.
John, on the other hand, had been at Sophia’s place the whole time. When he was done looking through the
documents, he then phoned Zack and asked him to come and get them. Just when Zack had exited Sophia’s house,
he spotted Logan’s car heading here, so he waited and stood at the door. Parking the car by the door, Logan then
alighted with Robin. Zack chortled at the sight. “Hey, you two are here as well?”
Logan grunted, looking rather frantic. “I heard that Sophia isn’t feeling well, so I came over to visit her.” As he said
this, he brushed past Zack and strode toward the house.
Robin, however, halted. Her gaze was fixed on the living room, but her words were directed to Zack. “John is here,
yes?”
Zack grunted in assent. “He’s been here the entire day with me bringing him the documents. Look, haven’t I been
relegated to an errand boy now?” As he spoke, he flicked the documents in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Robin sucked in a breath. “John is really nice to Sophia.”
“That’s a given.” Ignorant of her feelings toward John, Zack was very blunt as he proclaimed, “Sophia is the apple
of his eyes. He regards her as a priceless treasure, so he’s naturally nice to her.”
Robin’s brows knitted together. “But aren’t they divorced?”
Zack tutted. “So what if they’re divorced? Isn’t there something known as remarriage in this world? When feelings
have clicked into place, they can just remarry.” After he’d said this, he dipped his head and glanced at the time.
“Alright, we’ll talk another time since I’ve got to go back to the office. Go on in. Sophia seems to be sleeping, but
she should be waking up soon.” He then inclined his head to her and left.
Standing by the door, Robin stared at the living room, vaguely making out Logan and John’s silhouettes. Inhaling
deeply, she then took a step forward and made her way into the house.
John had changed; he was now wearing a different set of clothes than the one he wore to the shop, and this was
obviously casual wear. When he saw her coming in, he flashed her a smile. “You’re here? Sophia should be waking
up soon, so just wait for a while.”
Robin nodded. “Sure.” She then walked over to the sofa and sat down at a corner decorously.
Looking at the staircase, Logan asked, “What’s wrong with Sophia? What’s ailing her?”
