But the one who was even more shocked was Zoey. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she asked Henry, "Henry, who who did you say you're going to marry?

Henry stopped in his tracks and gave Zoey a cold look.

I'm going to marry Lyla."

You... you don't love her. You love me! She's just my stand-in! Now that I'm back, I'm standing right in front of you. Why would you still marry my stand-in

She was shocked, confused, in pain, and furious, but Henry found her ridiculous

"You betrayed me. How could you think I'd still want you?"

"But you."

"Yes, I do love you, but I can't accept your betrayal! I'm going to marry Lyla, your stand-in, for one simple reason-she's pure! I may never stop loving you, but I'll also never forgive you, Zoey. It hurts doesn't it? I'm in pain too, but all of this is your doing!" This insane declaration left everyone present stunned, but at that moment, Sonya understood Henry. He loved Zoey, but his hatred was as deep as his love. This love and hatred didn't depend on whether Zoey was alive or dead. He had been in pain all along, and the best revenge he could take on Zoey was to make her suffer as much as he did. Zoey was a madwoman, and she had driven Henry mad, too. As for Lyla, her expression shifted dramatically-from panic and fear to relief and even a hint of smugness

Sonya believed it wouldn't be long before Lyla went mad, too.

Seeing all this, Sonya took several steps back.

At that moment, she felt incredibly lucky to have escaped this mad game.

On the first floor of the outpatient building, Sonya saw Brian and Milton still waiting. Milton had fallen asleep, his head resting on Brian's lap as he lay on the bench.

Sonya jogged over."Sorry to keep you waiting so long. I'll stay at the hospital tonight to keep my friend company. Prof. Wesley, please take Milton home."

Brian, who had also dozed off, lifted his head

"She's fine. Her injuries aren't serious."

Brian nodded. "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

"Thank you."

groggily."Alright. By the way, how's your friend?

Brian smiled and asked Sonya to help lift Milton. He stood up, stretched, then crouched down to let Milton climb onto his back.

Milton, drowsy and yawning, obediently climbed on, and Brian hoisted him up.

"We'll head back now."

As they were about to leave, Milton asked Sonya to kiss him.

Brian chuckled. "How old are you, still acting like a baby?"

Milton pouted."Mom kisses me every night."

Those words filled Brian with guilt, and he looked at Sonya, silently asking her to fulfill his son's little wish. Sonya asked him to bend down a little, then

cupped Milton's face and kissed him on the forehead.

"Be good, Milton. I will play with you again this weekend." "Promise?"

"Yes."

Watching the two leave, Sonya wrapped her coat tighter and headed to the second floor. Just as she

stepped out of the stairwell, she ran into Henry. He was wearing a black coat, his expression cold, leaning against the window and smoking.

Sonya hesitated, wondering if she should go back downstairs and take the long way around to the inpatient building, but Henry looked over at

her.

Sonya took a deep breath and walked toward the corridor.

I'm going to marry Lyla," he suddenly said.

Sonya stopped. Why was he telling her thie

"So you should find a reliable man to marry, too. Stop thinking about me?

Sonya frowned, wondering. "Had he seen Brian and Mikon earlier? But regardless, it's none of his business, and I'm thinking about him?

"You once told me not to be presumptuous. Now I'm returning those words to you."

Henry took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled slowly.

"Leave New York,' he said, looking at her. The farther, the better"

"Then you leave. Stay away from me!

Seeing Sonya get angry, Henry smiled.

"Do you remember the promises we made to each other?"

Sonya fell silent. They had made so many promises-to visit the South Pole together, to have a son and a daughter, to find a peaceful place with mountains and water to retire in when they grew old, for him to die before her....

Sonya shook her head, refusing to dwell on it any longer.

"Your memory's bad. Have you forgotten already?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not very patient."

Henry walked toward her, a teasing smile in his eyes. We bought a burial plot together, promising to be buried side by side after death."

Sonya pursed her lips. At the time, it had seemed childish but genuinely touching Now, it just felt ridiculous.

How about we keep it? If we can't be a couple in life, we can be ghost spouses in death? Henry said, laughing at his joke.

Sonya couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Just cancel it."

"I can't do it alone?"

"Why not?"

We both signed the contract back then. To cancel it, we'd have to go together."

"Is that so?" Sonya thought for a moment.

Then she said, "Then when you have time, we'll go cancel it together."

Henry had walked up to her and stopped. He looked at her deeply, his eyes trembling as if suppressing a

surge of emotion, which finally turned into a trace of reluctance.

"Sonya, I'm glad you entered my world, and I'm glad you walked out of it.'

He said he was glad, but Sonya didn't feel there was anything to be glad about.

Henry smiled at her, but when his gaze flicked behind her, the smile vanished, replaced by sharp, ruthless intensity. "Sonya, stay away from me from now on. I never loved you."

After saying this, he stepped past her and strode away.

Sonya was baffled by his sudden change in attitude. She turned to look and saw Zoey standing at the other end of the corridor. As soon as Henry walked over, Zoey rushed up to him, screaming and making a scene. Throughout it all, she didn't glance at Sonya once, as if all the times she had schemed against her and vowed to kill her were just illusions-Sonya's illusions, Zoey's illusions. the audience.
