Roger was struggling to gather his thoughts at that moment, consumed by fear. He didn't know what he would say to Sophia when she woke up, or how she would react to the news.

"What have I done?" he berated himself, grimacing and leaning his head back against the wall. "I'm such an idiot."

He sighed heavily, recalling all the events of that night. Despite everything that had happened, he still harbored doubts about who was telling the truth. But now, he couldn't ask Sophia about it. The only solution was for him to try to remember what had happened that day. To be honest, there were parts of his childhood that he didn't remember and had never bothered to recover. But now seemed like the right time to bring those memories back.

Just then, he noticed Sophia stirring. Hurriedly, he approached the bed and took her hand.

"Sophia..."

Sophia slowly opened her eyes, looking around in confusion. "Darlin what...?"

"Sophia," Roger had tears in his eyes as he gently tried to embrace her.

"Love, why are you crying? Where...? Where are we? What happened?"

"Sophia, forgive me..."

"What... Roger, you're scaring me. Why are you crying? Why are we in a hospital?"

"It's because... last night... you got so upset that you had a miscarriage."

"What... No... Wait, are you telling me my baby..." Sophia placed her hands on her stomach and panicked when she felt nothing. "No... no... my baby! What happened to my baby?" she cried out furiously, grabbing Roger's shirt with both hands. "I'm sorry, Sophia. They couldn't save him."

"No... no... tell me it's not true, Roger," she began to cry

"Yes... we lost him."

"No... my baby... I didn't even get to know him," she sobbed loudly, holding herself tightly.

"Sophia..." he tried to comfort her.

"No! Get away! Leave me alone!" Sophia shouted, pushing him away. "This is your fucking fault... my son..."

Roger watched in shock and pain at her reaction, feeling the urge to cry for the lost baby himself.

"I don't have my son anymore because of you. And you'll probably leave me now to go back to the worthless woman!"

"That's not true."

"Of course it is! You'll leave for that woman and her child," she said, seething with hatred.

"Lies, Sophia, I'll be by your side no matter what."

"Liar! You haven't even had the courage to propose to me," she complained, pointing out the lack of an engagement ring on her finger. "You promised me once you got divorced."

"I haven't proposed because I'm not in the best financial situation, and you know it."

"You're a damn liar, a coward."

"Sophia..."

"Leave me alone, go away," she yelled, starting to throw objects at Roger.

"What's going on here?" a nurse rushed in to help.

"She..." Roger was nervous, not expecting her to react so violently.

"Go away!" Sophia said, throwing the pillow from the bed at him before hugging herself tightly.

"Sir, I'll have to ask you to leave, you're upsetting the patient," the nurse ordered, embracing Sophia to try to calm her down.

Roger looked at the scene with a sense of helplessness, eventually

gone.

"Has he left?" Sophia asked quietly as she wiped her tears away.

"Yes, it seems so," the nurse said, locking the door. "Are you sure you should be driving him away?"

"Of course, his guilty conscience will skyrocket. My performance was perfect," Sophia said, smiling arrogantly as she straightened her hair. Chapter 21
