Chapter 13

New York City is Alexander's domain.

Jack’s brief encounter with me was merely a coincidence, a stroke of luck.

Today's little incident, I didn't take to heart.

Alexander, however, was furious. He stayed with me at the hospital for a week, only allowing me to be discharged after confirming the wound wouldn't leave a scar.

On the day of my discharge, Alexander followed behind me, carrying bags of all sizes.

I walked ahead, opening the front door with a beaming smile, and caught the golden-haired angel who leaped into my arms.

"Mommy~"

"Sweetie!"

Sophia is two years old this year. Her eyes and brows are identical to mine, while her fair skin resembles Alexander's more.

Anyone can tell at a glance that she's our daughter.

I dote on her endlessly, and Alexander treasures her beyond measure.

Finally home, I played with Sophia in the garden. Suddenly, a crazed head popped out from the shrubbery outside the garden.

"Emily! Because of you, my child is dead."
