Amid the loud music, Michael continued to throw his fists out without noticing the pain. His wounds were so deep that one could see his bones, but he didn’t realize it…

The next day, when the sun was up, the door to the gym finally opened. Michael looked cold and seemed to have changed into someone else. When he stepped out of the gym, he accidentally stepped onto something soft.

Looking down, Sophia had made a makeshift bed by the door and was sleeping on it. Originally, she was still asleep. However, when Michael stepped onto her hand, the pain woke her up suddenly. She opened her eyes in confusion and leaped up suddenly, pulling him into her arms.

She hugged him in front of the gym. None of them spoke. All Michael could hear was Sophia’s sobbing in his ear.

Reaching his wounded hands out, he hugged the woman in front of him.

When he closed his eyes, tears flowed down his cheeks. They were for his father, his mother, and his sister, as well as Sophia, who had been hurt so many times because of him.

“I’m sorry…”

Phantom Wolf’s target had never been her. She was only hurt because she was his wife!

“What’s the use of apologizing now? You need to pull yourself together. Do you understand?” choked Sophia.

“Brace up, Michael Fletcher! You still need to protect me and Nathan! What are we supposed to do if something happens to you?”

 

Holding her tightly, Michael choked with sobs…

After what happened thirty years ago, Tanya disappeared. It was like she had vanished from the world and no one could find her anymore.

In order to find some clues, Michael decided to visit the place where he had lived. Tanya had been there before. And back then, Elizabeth was already a superstar. She installed a surveillance system in the house, so he might be able to find something by chance.

Sophia set off along with him. The weather was still freezing outside. She simply grabbed onto the coat that she brought back from the military compound and put it on.

Inside the car, Michael remained silent for the entire journey. He seemed to be very anxious. Both his hands that were rested on his knees were trembling; the wounds on his joints had been treated with medicine.

Cautiously, Sophia put her hand into his palm. She did it carefully as she was afraid of touching his wounds. Michael gently held her hand. Looking at the woman who had been with him for such a long time, he found the toughness in her eyes that was once familiar to him.
