Married At First Sight Chapter 3881-3885 
Chapter 3881 
“You also lost your own child yourself. That child was part of the Brown family,” Mrs. Brown snapped, her voice heavy with frustration. 
Though Sonny didn’t live with them, Mrs. Brown still held a bitter attachment to the idea of their family legacy. When Jessica was pregnant, despite her reservations, she had softened. The child represented the Brown family’s future, and for a time, Jessica’s flaws were easier to overlook. 
But fate had intervened. Jessica’s tragic fall and subsequent miscarriage not only robbed Mrs. Brown of her grandson but also reignited her simmering resentment. If that child had survived, Mrs. Brown might not feel so desperate for Sonny to return to their fold. 
Now, it all felt like retribution. 
Hank sighed, trying to calm the situation. “Mom, what’s done is done. The baby’s gone. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. But Jessica is still my wife. It’s my duty to see her, to take care of her. She wouldn’t have ended up like this if it weren’t for me. I’m the one who ruined her life.” 
He sank into a reflective tone, recounting his mistakes. When Jessica became his secretary, she was young and naïve, with no intentions of starting an affair. But Hank, discontent with Liberty’s post-pregnancy appearance and blinded by his own arrogance, had pursued Jessica. He’d seen himself as a successful manager, someone who deserved better than what he perceived Liberty could offer. 
Jessica, inexperienced and fresh to the professional world, couldn’t resist his persistent advances. What started as harmless flirtation turned into something much deeper. Hank’s selfishness had led Jessica down a path she never intended to take. 
“If it weren’t for me,” Hank murmured, “Jessica could’ve had a simple, happy life with someone else. Instead, she ended up here.” 
Jessica’s imprisonment had been a dark turning point. Stricken with despair, she’d tried to end her life multiple times. It was only through persistent intervention that she finally abandoned her suicidal thoughts and chose to focus on rehabilitation. 
Although her sentence was long, it wasn’t a death sentence. Jessica held onto the sliver of hope that someday she might regain her freedom. Hank, despite everything, supported her from afar. He sent her supplies every month and visited twice a year, vowing that he’d wait for her release no matter how many years it took. 
He’d also made a promise to stay married to her. “I’ll take care of her for the rest of my life,” he’d said. This time, he intended to keep his word—a stark contrast to the empty promises he’d once made to Liberty. 
Mrs. Brown couldn’t contain her anger. “She almost killed you, and yet you’re still—” 
Before she could finish, Hank had retreated to his room and shut the door, leaving her seething in the hallway. 
Mrs. Brown turned to her husband, her face dark with rage. “What spell has that woman cast on him? She nearly took his life, and now he’s waiting for her, forgiving her. I’ll never accept her as my daughter-in-law again.” 
Mr. Brown responded with a weary sigh. “When Jessica gets out, we may not even be alive anymore. Why waste your energy fighting this? Looking back, we meddled too much. We interfered in Hank and Liberty’s marriage until it crumbled. It’s our fault as much as his.” 
His voice softened, tinged with regret. “As for grandchildren, we need to accept that Sonny might be our only one. There’s no point hoping for more. Let’s just pray Sonny grows up safe and healthy, both physically and mentally.” 
He paused, a heavy silence filling the room before he added, “Sonny has Liberty and her sister looking after him. With them, he’ll be fine. But still, what a mess we’ve made. If I had known… Who would’ve guessed that Liberty’s aunt Audrey would turn out to be so influential?” 
Mrs. Brown remained quiet, her thoughts swirling. The bitterness of her regrets clashed with the reality of the consequences they now lived with.
