Noah shouted unpleasantly, "Mom, how could you say that?"
"Why not? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been like this."
"But mom, what does Sophia have to do with it? It was true I came to help Bard because of her, but it was my choice. She never forced me to do it. She's not the one to blame."
Never expecting him to say that, Mrs. Greenspan kept shaking her head, "How come you become so unruly, Noah? You're gonna be the death of me."
"Mom, I..."
He had no idea how to soothe his mother.
"It was Sophia who made you like this. Noah, if you were dead, I wouldn't live in this world without you!"
"Mom, but I'm alright."
"Oh, shut up."
The moment Mrs. Greenspan saw her son, she was really scared. For the first time, she realized that she might have to witness her son's death.
Noah said in a lowered voice, "Anyway, Mom, if Sophia came, don't treat her like this, or I would be angry."
"How dare you!"
Why did her son become like this? Why?
Gloria approached, "Noah, did Sophia put a spell on you? Why are you helping her like this? Are you going to give up your life for her?"
Noah turned around and looked at her with apparent despise, as if he were averse to her coming.
She clenched her fists unwittingly.
"Gloria, why are you here?"
"I ..."
she felt like her heart as painful as being stabbed by millions of needles.
It was after a long pause that she finally found her voice, "Of course I should be here, Noah. I came as soon as possible when I heard what happened to you. I love you and I don't want to see you like this."
"But I don't love you." He refused without hesitation, "Gloria, will you please stop badgering me? Do you know that you are the last person I want to see right now? I want to see Sophia. So, please, leave, now."
"Noah." Mrs. Greenspan was really pissed off, "I asked Gloria to come to see you. Based on what has happened to you, I can tell you for sure that from now on, there is no chance for you and Sophia to be together. The only person you are going to marry is Gloria."
Since she heard that Sophia had slept with Drake, she had given up on Sophia.
Gloria was also the lady from one of the four Pinkerton families. More importantly, she loved Noah with her soul and heart. In Mrs. Greenspan's mind, Gloria was a perfect match for Noah.
But for Gloria, what Mrs. Greenspan had said was not something pleasant to the ear.
It sounded like she was something Mrs. Greenspan was trying to impose on Noah.
Noah refused again, "Mom, I can control my own life. You can make other decisions for me, but not this one. I'm not going to marry Gloria. Please take her and leave, right now. I said I don't want to see her anymore."
"How dare you!"
If she hadn't seen how bad Noah's condition was, she would definitely beat him.
How had Sophia spellbound him? He was crazy.
Sophia!
When Noah noticed the woman standing in the distance, a smile showed up on his face, "Sophia, is that you?"
He remembered having called her before he passed out. She didn't say anything at that time, but as she was already here, was it possible that she had arrived here a long time ago?
