"Because..." Sophie Wilson drew out her voice, clearly feeling the slight tension in Charles Seymour’s muscles. If she weren’t so familiar with him, she would surely have missed this subtle change. Sophie blinked mischievously at him and spoke the answer that made his heart leap: "You once did this." As soon as Sophie spoke, Charles was filled with confusion, mixing bewilderment with a sense of relief. "What are you talking about?" Charles was sure he hadn’t done anything to imprison Sophie. "Let me tell you a secret, shall I?" Sophie was smiling, her smile still beautiful, but it was as mysterious as if it hid a big secret behind it, just waiting to be unveiled. Charles’s Adam’s apple bobbed nervously up and down, and he nodded slightly. Whatever it was, he wanted to hear it. "The secret is, you imprisoned me for ten whole years, doing experiments on me continuously, and in the end..." As Sophie spoke, the color drained rapidly from Charles’s face, and when Sophie reached the words "in the end," Charles’s heart tightened suddenly, and he asked instinctively, "In the end what?" He was very concerned about the results of the experiment! After all, he had already begun preparations for the experiments on Sophie, just hadn’t conducted them on her yet. He wanted to know, had he succeeded? "In the end, my body recovered." Sophie smiled, her smile carrying a deep sense of sorrow and sadness, making Charles’s heart ache in response. She was clearly smiling, yet her eyes, brimming with laughter, were filled with such despair. "It’s good that you’re well." Charles said dryly. "But it wasn’t because your experiment succeeded." Sophie continued to smile, recounting the events of her past life to Charles, filling her heart with mixed emotions. Saying it out loud didn’t seem as difficult as she had imagined. Charles looked at Sophie, shocked; if it wasn’t his experiment that succeeded, then what happened? Seeing the confusion in Charles’s eyes, Sophie stood up, kicked away the obstructive chair, and stepped forward to stand right in front of him. She reached out, slender fingers pinching Charles’s determined jaw, forcing him to look up and meet her gaze. "Your experiment didn’t succeed, it didn’t heal my body. Mr. Seymour, can you guess, in the end, how did I get better?" Sophie stared down at Charles. Her dark eyes fixed intently on him. The things Sophie was talking about far exceeded Charles’s comprehension. But there was one thing that Charles was very clear about: he wanted to know how she recovered. Very much so! Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥 His interest in this question far exceeded any other concerns, like when he supposedly imprisoned Sophie, how she knew about the experiments, or if she was telling him this to break up with him, etc. Charles ignored all these questions; he just wanted to know how she recovered. "How did you get better?" Charles’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, showing how eager he was for that answer. Sophie sighed lightly inside, indeed. Then, she lowered her head, gave a soft bite on Charles’s thin lips, then parted, and spoke to his bewildered eyes, like a wail: "Some fool exchanged their heart for mine."
