Chapter 265 - The Apple Never Falls Far From The Tree

Chapter 265 - The Apple Never Falls Far From The Tree

Hannah and Robert Higgins looked very surprised when he heard Sophia's words saying that she had lost one ovary when she was still in a relationship with Jack's cousin named Edmund. It turned out that Edmund wasn't even blood-related to Jack. Sophia had an ovarian cyst that made her lose one egg cell. The only one who knew that she had been living only with one ovary was Edmund, the man who took her virginity when she was still in a relationship with Jack in the past. At that time, Jack was still a quiet and shy guy. The reason Sophia cheated on Jack was that in the past Edmund had more of a seductive charm than Jack since he was so cold and didn't talk much. That was why Sophia got tempted to cheat on him. In the end, she lost her virginity when she was away with Jack's family for a vacation to Paris three months after her engagement with Jack.

"Why are you keeping this a secret, Sophia? Why didn't you tell me about something this big?" Hannah asked softly with tears running down her face when she found out that her daughter had lost a vital organ, something very important for a woman.

"You have to calm down too, Honey," Robert immediately stopped his wife's anxiety. "Sophia still has one ovary, which means she still has the chance to get pregnant. She is still as perfect as other women. She should be fine, you don't have to worry too much."

Hearing the words of her husband Hannah looked a little calm, an anxious expression was no longer visible on her beautiful face. She slowly walked over to the bed again and sat beside Sophia, she grabbed her daughter's hand which was still wrapped in a bandage, and kissed it with a mother's love.

"You can still get pregnant, my daughter. Don't worry about that. Many women around the world can get pregnant even if they only have one ovary, so don't be discouraged," Hannah stopped her words and touched Sophia's stomach. "This is where the Muller's heir will be born from."

"Doctor Ishikawa in Japan told me I couldn't get pregnant, Mom. He said that my ovary also has a cyst that will interfere with my fertility. I almost went crazy when I heard that. But Esteban said that he would accept me as I am, so that's why I'm calm. But when I lived with him I didn't feel comfortable at all. I don't want to live in poverty, Mom. Esteban's salary is not as much as I imagined, especially when he's not under a sponsorship contract.

That's why I went home and looked for Jack. He promised to love me forever. It's been a long time since we were engaged. I came and wanted to ask for the promise he made, I'm sure Jack wouldn't be able to dodge it. Moreover, the promise he made was a sacred promise witnessed by many people including his late parents," without the slightest shame, Sophia expressed her intention to come back into Jack's life after betraying him in the past.

Robert Higgins, who had been silent for a long time, walked over to the bed where his wife and daughter were. "As long as Daddy is alive, Daddy will do whatever I can to get what you want, Dear. You just have to take it easy. Daddy will make sure that Jack will come back to you again. And for your current condition, you don't have to think about it. We can cover it up well until you are completely healed. Daddy will find the best doctor to cure your illness and during that time you better keep this secret from Jack, don't let Jack find out you don't have an ovary anymore."

After seeing how his husband promised their daughter, Hannah was very surprised. All this time, Robert was the type of husband who didn't talk much and didn't seem to think about their daughter's future. But when she heard her husband talk at length like that she couldn't believe it.

"Daddy will do anything for you. Please, don't think too much about it. Let Daddy take care of it, all you have to do now is sleep so you can get better," Robert added more words to make sure his daughter understood everything. He then stared lovingly at his one and only daughter.

"Daddy!!!" Sophia screamed loudly while hugging her father tightly, all the anxiety in her heart immediately disappeared when she heard her father speak like that. Just like when she was a child, her father would get everything she wanted as long as she obeyed him. That was why Sophia grew up to be a very selfish and stubborn girl.

Hannah Higgins took Sophia's hand that was hugging her husband and kissed it gently. "As long as we are alive, we will make sure you will get whatever you want in this world, Dear. Never doubt our promise to you. Mommy and Daddy will do anything for you," she said quietly.

While being in her father's arms, Sophia smiled broadly at her mother's words. She then tightened her arms on her father. All of her uneasiness and anxiety went away and her heart turned warm again after hearing her parents' promise. Sophia was so happy because her parents were still the same. They always supported whatever she did and granted whatever she wanted.

***

The cold night began to get warmer as the sun began to show its might, awakening all humans to continue their activities just like yesterday. Likewise with two human beings who were sleeping hugging each other on the big soft bed full of warmth. Two human beings who both had deep wounds from the past and had not been able to realize that they both needed each other.

Anne, who had slept very soundly last night after being drunk from the vodka she accidentally consumed, was now feeling hungry, although it was unusual for her to be hungry at this hour. While trying to reconcile the worms in her stomach, Anne finally realized that she was currently sleeping in the arms of a man, someone she was very familiar with. She was sleeping in Jack's arms. With all her strength, Anne tried to release the grip of Jack's arms that were wrapped around her back. She wondered why in this sleeping state, Jack's strength was still too much for her to fight. He was so strong that she couldn't let go of his grip, even after putting all her strength to get away from him.

"Let's sleep a little longer, Anne. I'm still sleepy. It's weekend anyway, let's spend a lot of time in bed like this, just the two of us," still closing her eyes, Jack said quietly while adding strength to his hands which made Anne unable to move at all.

Anne immediately hit Jack's chest several times, she felt uncomfortable being hugged face to face like that by Jack. Moreover, at this time his lower body was not covered by anything, Jack's white shirt was only able to cover his upper thighs. Anne could feel Jack's skin which felt very manly against her skin, especially when she rubbed it against the fine hairs on Jack's feet which made her heart beat very fast.

"What now?" Jack asked in a heavy tone.

"I'm not comfortable being like this, I… I have to go to the toilet. I want to pee," answered Anne quietly, looking for a reasonable excuse so that Jack would let her go.

After hearing that Anne wanted to take a pee, Jack immediately let go of his hand. He let Anne go to the bathroom to do her business. Once freed from Jack's arms, Anne quickly got out of bed. She did not waste this golden opportunity and walked faster to the bathroom. Anne was in a hurry to the point where she didn't realize that she revealed too much of her long legs when she walked that fast. They looked sexier and managed to wake up Jack's junior instantly. It was enough to torture Jack and made him feel unable to get rid of his urge. It was too much for him to see that scene.

"You are very good at torturing me, Anne."
