Chapter 1439

The man, whose handsome face was riddled with melancholy, snapped out of his trance and glanced

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 accustomed 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 glanced 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 flashed 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 time coming 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

later.”

“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 play

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 accident. Yes, he was told because he had no

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

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

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.
