Chapter 1398
Sophia threw herself onto the bed. Her eyes were red with concern as she looked at post-treatment
Jeremy. She asked, “How do you feel, Jeremy? Do you feel any pain?”
Jeremy neither looked at her nor said a word.
Melinda had a worried frown as she observed the man on the bed. She then turned to Tommy instead
of approaching Jeremy. With a sincere look on her face, she expressed her sincerest apologies and
said, “You’re Mister Jeremy’s right-hand man, yes? Please ept my apologies for how things have
turned out. My husband has a bad temper, and Mister Jeremy was on the receiving end of his anger
when his temper red up. Rest assured that our family will take full responsibility for the injuries
inflicted upon Mister Jeremy today. We’ll find the best doctors and provide the best medicine to ensure
that Mister Jeremy will have a full recovery.”
Though Melinda was amiable to him, Tommy still had some measure of animosity toward Adam’s
family after what happened. He stated straightforwardly, “Mister Jeremy has ess to ample medical
resources. He has endured the beating, so I genuinely hope your husband will fulfill his end of the
promise.”
Melinda’s mind went nk for a moment. She had not been present during the incident and was
therefore unaware of what transpired, but she nodded earnestly in a demonstration of her goodwill and
cooperation. She reassured him, “Please don’t worry. My husband will honor his word.”
Tommy replied politely, “I sure hope so.”
Meanwhile, Sophia remained by the bedside. Still overwhelmed with sorrow, she eximed between
streams of tears, “Why are you so stubborn, Jeremy? You didn’t have to provoke my dad like that!
None of this would’ve happened if you didn’t provoke my dad…”
Jeremy did not respond. He looked ahead and breathed steadily.
Tommy approached her and instructed her to leave in a less-than-cordial tone. “Mister Jeremy needs
rest at the moment. I suggest you leave so he can continue to recover in peace, Miss Sophia.”
“No, I can’t leave. I want to stay with Jeremy,” Sophia insisted, refusing to budge.
Tommy frowned and advised, “Please don’t get agitated, Miss Sophia. Your presence may disrupt
Mister Jeremy’s rest.”
Melinda approached Sophia and gently urged her while offering some advice, “You won’t speed up
Mister Jeremy’s recovery if you stay here. Let him rest for now. You can always visit himter.”
Though Sophia was still visibly concerned, she realized that her stepmother’s suggestion made perfect
sense. Jeremy was in severe pain after suffering those injuries, and the most important thing he
needed was proper rest. After some hesitation, she stood up and said, “Get well soon, Jeremy. I’ll see
you some other time.”
She then turned away, even though she was still very worried.
At that moment, Jeremy opened his eyes calmly and spoke with an insipidly cold tone. “Get all the
documents ready. I want the issue regarding the marriage certificate settled between us.”

Sophia turned around and looked at him with a frown. “Why are you still thinking about that when
you’re so seriously injured? Can’t it wait?” she asked.
Jeremy replied calmly, “No. If you don’t cooperate when tomorrow morninges, then I hope you
won’t hold it against me for renouncing our past friendship.”
His determination left Sophia in a brief silence. She had no choice but to agree. “All right, I promise. I’ll
go through the marriage annulment process with you. But you need to focus on recovering for now.”
Jeremy kept quiet and closed his eyes. His calm and pale face was thoroughly emotionless.
Melinda could not help but feel sympathy for her stepdaughter’s predicament after they left the room.
She looked at Sophia, who appeared deeply hurt, and understood the pain of loving someone secretly
for many years.
Unrequited love was the worst.
