Chapter 1439


    The man, whose handsome face was riddled with mncholy, snapped out of his trance and nced


    at Sophia silently when he heard her calling him.


    The bedroom window was opened, allowing the gentle breeze to blow in, which caused the white


    curtain to dance around the man. It was quite a beautiful sight to behold if one had a thing for this kind


    of aesthetics.


    As though ustomed to the man not speaking, Sophia did not pay too much mind to his silence.


    Instead, she walked over to the window to close it before turning to him to ask, “Your lunch is


    untouched, so I’m guessing you haven’t eaten. What about your medicine?”


    “I’ve already taken them.”


    Sophia nced at the medicine bottle on the bedside table. “Zachary, the reason we came back to this


    city is to help Dad sell off all his assets here. We’ll have less of a headache once that’s done since we


    won’t have to worry about the business dealings here anymore.”


    Zachary showed no response at having heard her. Instead, he kept his eyes fixed outside the window


    as he asked, “Have I been to this city before?”


    Sophia was stunned before a look of guilt shed across her eyes. She squeezed out a smile and said,


    “N…No. You were born in Molomia and lived there all your life. This is your first timeing to this


    city.”


    Zachary narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. “Then why does it feel like I’ve been here before? All the


    streets look so familiar…”

    Sophia chuckled nervously and said, “Well, that’s not surprising since all big cities look the same now.


    You’re just overthinking things. Anyway, what do you want for dinner? I’ll get room service to deliver it


    “Whatever is fine. But I want to take a bath first.”


    “Sure.” Sophia gently pushed him toward the bathroom.


    Once inside, Jeremy stopped the wheelchair with his hand and then said glumly, “Here’s fine. You can


    go out now.”


    “The bathtub here is different from the one at home. Why don’t I get in with you? That way, I can help


    you scrub your back as well,” said Sophia kindly.


    Zachary put up his hand. “No, thanks. You go watch Benjamin. I’ll be fine by myself.”


    Since he was so adamant, Sophia decided not to insist. She simply smiled and said, “Alright. I’ll go y


    with Benjamin first. Don’t lock the door, and call me if you need any help.”


    “Mm,” responded Jeremy. He wheeled himself in further and locked the door from the inside.


    Sophia stared at the bathroom door for a long while with clenched fists before finally turning to look for


    Benjamin.


    …


    Zachary slowly took off his shirt before unbuttoning his pants. He then heaved himself up to let his


    pants fall from the floor, revealing his two skinny legs.


    After that, he heaved himself clumsily into the bathtub before turning on the tap to let the water flow.


    He had been wheelchair-bound for the past three years. However, he was not really crippled. It was


    just that the muscles on his legs had atrophied so much that they could not support his weight


    anymore.


    He was told that his legs became like that after a car ident. Yes, he was told because he had no


    memories of what happened in his life before thest three years. Everyone around him told him he


    had broken his legs and lost his memory in the car ident.


    They also told him his name was Zachary Finnix, aged 33 years old, and had been living in Molomia all


    of his life. Also, both of his parents were dead, and he was taken in by Adam to be his godson.
