"Yes! Zachary''s gone! He didn''t go back to Molomia," repeated Sophia tearfully.


    Adam thought about what Sophia said with furrowed eyebrows. He then turned and went back to his suite.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Sophia quickly followed him in. "Say something, Dad! Can''t you see I''m panicking here?!"


    Adam picked up a ss of water and sipped before saying slowly, "What do you want me to say?"


    Sophia stomped. "Call the men who are supposed to keep an eye on Zachary now!"


    Adam looked at his stubborn daughter before picking up his phone and calling his men. He then put the phone on speaker and put it down on the table again.


    All Sophia heard was the automated message saying the number was unreachable before the system operator automatically hung up the call.


    All hope disappeared from her eyes. "How... How could this be? Dad, I beg of you. Please help me find Zachary! Please..."


    Adam was not surprised that he could not reach his men. It was as if he had expected it. He calmly sipped his water before saying, "Don''t you understand? He''s nned this all along. It''s pointless to find him now."


    Sophia wiped away her tears with her arm. "It''s not pointless! Dad, you just need to help me find him, and I''ll handle the rest!"


    Adam mmed his ss down on the table angrily. "Enough! When are you going to wake up?! Everyone can tell he doesn''t love you! He won''t even let you touch him, so what''s the point of keeping him by your side? Just let him go, Sophia!"


    Sophia swept everything off the table hysterically. "No! Never! I''m going to find him! He''s mine! I''m going to be with him forever! I''m going to bear his children! We''re going to live together as one big happy family!"


    Adam looked at the hysterical Sophia with both anger and heartache. "But he doesn''t want to be with you!"


    "No! It''s not like that! I''m sure he loves me too! I have to find him! I must find him!" screamed Sophia.


    "Heh! You won''t be able to keep him by your side even if you find him! How do you think he escaped? Do you think he could''ve easily escaped from my men with his crippled legs and a kid dragging him down?"


    Sophia was taken aback, but realization dawned on her quickly enough. "Dad, are... Are you saying Zachary got the use of his legs back?"


    "He must''ve nned his escape for a long time," said Adam angrily. "If anything, he''s probably back with his own family, so it''s pointless to look for him now. Listen to me, Sophia. Just stay in the hotel, and we''l go back to Molomia together after the tax investigation is finished. There''s a chance he won''t seek revenge if you don''t bother him anymore, but you''re on your own if you don''t listen to me. You''ll have to face all the consequences yourself then!"


    Sophia was unwilling to ept the oue. Even with reality staring straight at her, she still refused to believe it. "No, that''s impossible! Zachary doesn''t have memories of his past, so why would he go back to his family? No..."


    Adam had lost all hope of talking sense into his daughter. "Did you think the hypnotic effect willst forever? He might''ve gotten back all of his memories and was only pretending when you were around!" Sophia recalled everything that had happened recently and began to realize her father was right.


    "Even... Even if his legs are healed, even if he really recovers his memory, I still have to go find him! I want him to know that I''m the one who loves him most in the world! Not Corinne, but me!" she screamed hysterically.


    With that, she got up and ran outside.
