Chapter 801

If the truth about Betty's birth father was exposed, Sophia knew that she and Betty would be done

for.

Sophia was confined to the hospital for three days, during which Betty stayed by her side, battling

boredom. On the third day, the swelling on Sophia's cheek finally subsided. Throughout her stay,

Javier

never once visited.

Betty called Javier numerous times during the wait, imploring him to visit Sophia at the hospital.

However, he coldly dismissed her.

Betty thought Sophia might break down in tears due to Javier's cold treatment. After all, every wife

would

yearn for the love of her husband. It was only natural to be distraught if a spouse abandoned them

in the

hospital.

To Betty's surprise, Sophia appeared relatively calm about Javier's dismissal. Instead of kicking up a

fuss,

Sophia went about her life, taking all three meals and recuperating from her injuries. Yet, there

seemed to

be more beneath her seemingly normal behavior.

Sophia's calmness bewildered Betty. In her recollection, Sophia couldn't live without Javier.

Surprisingly,

Sophia looked tough and heartless during the hospital stay, like she had never loved Javier at all.

“Mom, Dad hasn't visited you at all in three days. Why do you seem so calm?” Betty blurted out

curiously.

“Forcing it upon him wouldn“t work. Your dad is just like Jasper. The more you pester them, the less

you matter to them. Just leave them be, and these wretched bastards will come back to you

naturally,” Sophia

explained, disgruntled, while grappling with mixed emotions.

She refrained from reaching out to Javier in the past three days out of fear. Despite being healthy

enough.

for discharge, she dared not return home. Instead, she prolonged her hospital stay to “recuperate”,

hiding

away from him.

After facing Alyssa’s accusations that night, Sophia sensed that Javier had looked at her differently.

She decided to use her hospital stay to devise an explanation to salvage her image in Javier's eyes.

At that moment, the door swung open. They heard Javier saying, “Wait out there. I'll check on

Madam.”

"Sure, Mr. Javier.”

Sophia and Betty were taken aback when they heard his voice. Sophia hurriedly retrieved a cushion

foundation from under her pillow and dabbed the foundation on her lips, seeking to make herself

look

sickly.

"Y-Yes, Ms. Betty,” the driver stuttered.

“You brat! I should never have wasted my time with you, you useless imbecile!” Sophia roared,

having no one else to vent to. She viciously prodded Betty's forehead, making her sway.

Sophia continued, “Why did you just stand there and watch me get hit? Why didn’t you do anything

when that bitch Alyssa pushed your own mother around? You never once said a word throughout!”

“Il can’t overpower Alyssa. I might've made things worse if I tried!” Betty whined, fists clenching

tightly. Why aren't you scolding Lauren? She didn't once show up when you were victimized, and

she still isn't

here! All she knows is to sleep around! I really don't understand why Landon likes her so much!”

“Bah! Do you still think you're comparable to your sister? So what if she didn’t show up? She still

bagged

Landon Harper! Being Landon’s mother-in-law greatly boosts my reputation and is far better than

whatever you've ever offered me!”

Sophia didn't hide her disdain for Sophia. 2

She didn't believe it before, but now she had to admit that Betty, with her bad genetic makeup,

really was

a lost cause ever since she was conceived. (2)

Lauren, who was Sophia and Javier's child, was far better than Betty!

Sophia would have groomed Lauren if she'd only known. What a waste of her time and effort!

Sophia was quickly checked into a VIP ward after getting a checkup at the hospital. She lay on the

bed,

the pain in her ears keeping her awake. She tossed and turned, rage and fear rising in her chest.

Sophia was worried Alyssa would find out about her relationship with Ronald or that Ronald would

reveal

it to Alyssa.

But there was something Sophia was even more terrified of.

She was terrified that Betty,

being Ronald's daughter and not Javier's, would be found out.
