Chapter 239

“L..” Sophie started to speak, but her shame made host swallow the words the was about to say.

Her checks were flushed, and she lowered her gaze, unable to meet the man’s eyes.

“Is it really that hard to say sorry? Marcus’s gaze was relentless, and the intense pressure made Sophie feel more out of place. She tried to push ha away but found herself still in his embrace.

She cleared her throat, her voice trembling as she said, “Please put me down.”

Marcus, almost as a form of revenge, tightened his hold on her. “If you’re saying your belly hurts, then let’s go to the hospital,” he said, and with that, he began walking toward the car.

The man moved slowly, his hands deliberately lowering slightly before he suddenly made a show of loosening his grip.

Sophie was caught off guard and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

With a smug smile, Marcus lifted her higher, his lips curling into a barely perceptible, mischievous grin.

Once in the car, Chris spoke up, “Mr. Morgan, are we still waiting here?”

Marcus frowned, and through the rearview mirror, his sharp gaze shot directly at Chris. “If you can’t speak properly, then keep quiet.”

At that moment, Chris realized that Sophie was sitting beside Marcus, and immediately regretted speaking too soon. He closed his mouth and mentally cursed his own quick tongue.

The car started moving, and Sophie turned her gaze toward Marcus. “Didn’t you say the car had an issue?”

Marcus looked ahead, not giving her a glance, but his hand slipped between her fingers and held tightly. Without missing a beat, he replied casually, “It fixed itself.”

The car soon arrived at Zack’s place.

Sophie was about to get out of the car, but Marcus stopped her, lifting her up in a bridal carry once again.

“I really don’t have any problems. I can walk on my own,” Sophie muttered, her breath lightly brushing against his neck, almost teasing him.

Marcus remained as indifferent as ever. “I won’t allow it.”

Ever since Sophie and Marcus found out about the abnormality in her pregnancy back in Falyon, Marcus had given Zack a strict order.

In the last few days, Marcus had crammed as much knowledge as he could about fetal abnormalities. He had been losing sleep, looking like a man preparing for finals week.

Thankfully, Zack learned quickly, and within a few days, he was fully prepared.

Once inside, Marcus placed Sophie on the bed with practiced ease.

Zack put on his mask and gloves, his eyes serious as he spoke, “Don’t worry. My equipment is the best in the world. This is the only set like it.”

“But I have to be upfront–if the results are the same as before, you’ll need to prepare yourselves.”

His tone was serious.

Marcus’s eyes flashed with a mix of sadness, and Sophie subconsciously gripped his hand.

They locked eyes,

Soon after, Zack took the necessary samples.

Sophie and Marcus exited the consultation room, sitting on a sofa nearby in silence.

Marcus still had a cold expression. He usually showed such a face to everyone, rarely expressing any emotions.

But his hand remained tightly holding Sophie’s, showing no intention of letting go.

Sophie felt a little pain from how tightly Marcus was holding her, and she furrowed her brow. “Ow…”

“What’s wrong?” Marcus reflexively turned his head, his eyes full of concern as they locked with Sophie’s.

Sophie shook her head. “Nothing, you’re just holding a bit too tightly.”

Marcus suddenly realized, lowering his gaze and loosening his grip a little.

He gently rubbed her hand and cleared his throat. “Don’t worry. No matter what the results are, I’ll face them with you. I’ll respect your choice.”

His voice trembled at the end.

Although his face showed no signs of distress, the quiver in his voice betrayed the anxiety he was feeling.

Sophie looked at his chiseled side profile. He was also dealing with something for the first time. How could he not be nervous?

But because he was sulking, Marcus stubbornly refused to look at Sophie.

Having just experienced financial turmoil abroad, he didn’t even have time to handle the issues back home. Yet he chose to stay near her family’s house, arriving at her side the moment she needed him.

Sophie felt her eyes well up. His feelings were so sincere, so intense that she almost felt overwhelmed.

No… it wasn’t that she felt overwhelmed, it was that the wounds from the past were so deep, she couldn’t believe someone could love her so fiercely…

Sophie swallowed the lump in her throat, her voice hoarse as she spoke, “Marcus…”

Noticing the change in Sophie, Marcus immediately turned to her. His concerned gaze met hers, and in that instant, all her defenses crumbled. The sadness from the past few days evaporated.

She felt like she had found a safe harbor, leaning forward and burying her face in his solid chest.

“I’m sorry.”

Marcus felt the warmth against his chest and looked down. Sophie lifted her head, her eyes slightly damp, a sight that made him want to protect her. Her lips trembled as she whispered, “I’m sorry.”

Her weak voice shattered the indifference Marcus had been pretending to show, and he pulled her into his embrace.

But like some kind of retaliation, he tightened his hold around her.
