Chapter 52

Back in our hometown, I possess your identification, driver's license, and credit cards recovered from the wreckage," Leon proposed, softening his tone in an attempt to appeal to Sophia. His gaze remained fixed on her, emanating an indiscernible aura that bred a sense of distrust, cautioning her against placing blind faith in his words.
• "Can't you simply acknowledge that she has embarked on a new life and identity, leaving her undisturbed? This is her sanctuary. She finds happiness here, surrounded by friends who genuinely care for her. Why dwell on her past or origins? Can't you return to your previous life, knowing she is alive, and move on? It has been two years. She has acclimated to this place. She sought refuge with us in a state of disarray, evidently seeking solace from her previous circumstances," Glenda interjected, attempting to appeal to their empathy. However, her efforts fell short as a storm brewed in Leon's eyes and Bryan's expression darkened. Glenda's words hinted at a past she claimed they were unfamiliar with.
• "She is my wife. My wife... Why should I simply walk away?" Leon emphasized the weight of the word, tempting Sophia to abandon her pretense of forgetfulness to challenge the absurdity of the statement. The audacity of his declaration at that moment bordered on the realm of madness.
