Chapter 1440

Zachary and Sophia were also childhood sweethearts. They were engaged to each other from the get-

go.

When the car accident happened, he and Sophia were already married for a year, and Sophia

subsequently gave birth to their son, Benjamin Finnix.

At least, that was what they told Jeremy after he woke up from the car accident. He could not

remember anything before that no matter how many medicines he took over the past three years, and

the doctor also announced that there would be no chance of recovery for his legs.

Lulled by the warm water, Jeremy slowly drifted in and out of consciousness when he heard a knock

coming from outside the door.

“Zachary, are you sure you don’t need my help? I’m worried that you’ll slip and fall,” said Sophia.

“I’m fine. Just keep watching Benjamin.”

Sophia tried to open the door but realized it was locked.

‘Why did he lock the door when I told him not to?’ she thought with a frown.

“Okay, then. Just let me know when you’ve finished taking the bath. I’ll help you blow-dry your hair!”

“Okay.”

…

Sophia walked out of the bathroom dejectedly and saw Benjamin had taken the cartoon mask he was

wearing off his face. He was the spitting image of Zachary.

Sophia could not help but shudder when she thought about her encounter with Corinne. Fortunately,

Benjamin was wearing a cartoon mask then, or Corinne would have recognized him in an instant.

“Hey you! I’m hungry. Feed me!” said Benjamin rudely and with a frown on his face.

Sophia snapped out of her thoughts and lectured him angrily, “Benjamin, how many times has Mommy

told you not to talk to me like that? You should call me ‘Mommy’ and not ‘hey you’.”

There was none of the childlike innocence on Benjamin’s face at all. He scrunched up his face

unhappily and lifted his chin proudly. “I’m hungry! Feed me!”

Sophia did not know what to do with him, so she sighed and said, “Okay, okay. I’ll ask the hotel to

deliver us some food now.”

After that, she called for room service using the landline, asking them to deliver some food for

Benjamin.

Once that was done, she turned to look resentfully at Benjamin, who was playing with a ball on the

sofa.

Frankly, she did not really love Benjamin. After all, she did not give birth to him.

The only reason she stole the kid from Corinne was because she was afraid Corinne would use him as

a trump card one day. Thus, she wanted to nip that in the bud.

Initially, Sophia was going to throw the kid away after stealing him since she could always make

another one with Jeremy. However, after Jeremy was beaten a hundred times by Adam, she hired an

immensely talented psychologist who was also a master hypnotherapist from abroad to perform

hypnosis on Jeremy so he would stay with her.

However, Jeremy was no ordinary man. His willpower far surpassed that of an average person. The

hypnotherapist had to use considerable effort and every tool in his arsenal to successfully make

Jeremy forget who he was.

At first, Sophia was worried that Jeremy was only faking his memory loss to find a chance to escape.

Thus, she deliberately fed him some medicine that would make his muscles shrivel so that his legs

would not recover so quickly. That way, it would give the hypnotherapist more time to bolster up the

hypnosis effect.

Unfortunately, even though the hypnosis was successful, Jeremy not only lost the use of his legs but

also the use of his family jewel. This meant he would not be able to have a kid with Sophia.
