Sophia, however, was sober as never before. Staring at the man before her, she asked, "You lived in Anglandur since you were a child?"
"According to them, that's indeed the case."
Sophia instantly caught the main point in his words. "According to them? So, you lost your memory?"
"I got into an accident three months ago. I only regained consciousness a month ago, but when I did, I couldn't remember anything."
"He got involved in an accident about half a year ago."
Claudius gazed at her, his eyes darkened. "I don't remember anything. It's possible that the things I know are all fabricated."
At this point, he straightened his back. "Half a year ago... That makes it October last year?"
"Yeah."
"Have you found the body?"
"No."
There were zero clues regarding Alexander's whereabouts, and Sophia was left wondering if it was a good or bad thing.
"What happened?"
Sophia stared at the burning cigar on the ashtray with an arched brow. Moments later, she raised her head and turned to look at Claudius. "Have you had plastic surgery before? Or perhaps, have you done any facial reconstructive surgery?"
"Yes. About six months ago."
Sophia lowered her head and covered her face with her hands.
As tears welled in her eyes, she clenched her fists tight instinctively.
She had been looking for him for more than six months, or to be exact, a hundred and twenty-six days.
Sophia's cries were very soft, almost as if she was trying her best to suppress her emotions. Without paying close attention, it was imperceptible.
Upon noticing Sophia's shoulders shaking and soft sobbing sounds, Claudius furrowed his brows. As much as the atmosphere was growing a little tense, he did not interrupt her from venting out her emotions.
The two remained silent for a long time.
About two minutes later, he grabbed a few tissues and passed them to Sophia.
She accepted and used them to wipe the tears off her face. Her eyes had turned reddish as she lifted her head again. "Thank you."
"You love him very much."
"He loves me very much too."
Sophia took a deep breath to calm herself down. Her gaze was flooded with longing as she stared at the face before her. "He's a little more good-looking than you."
The two, in fact, already had an answer in their mind. There was no doubt about Claudius being Alexander, but as for how Alexander became Claudius, perhaps only Claudius could find out the truth.
Now that Claudius had forgotten everything, including the past and Sophia, he was none other than someone occupying Alexander's physical body to Sophia.
"I am Alexander Xenos."
"You're him." She paused briefly. "But you're not him too. You don't remember a thing. To you, I'm nobody but a stranger."
Sophia was absolutely right, yet Claudius felt a little upset. "So, are you trying to say you're giving up on me?"
"Why did you lose your memory? What did the doctor say?"
"There's a blood clot in my brain that's pressing on the nerve. Surgery could only remove a portion of the blood clot, so I can only wait for the rest to dissolve naturally."
"Does that mean you'll lose your memory forever if the blood clot doesn't dissolve?"
"That's right."
That was undoubtedly a cold, harsh truth.
As much as Claudius knew what was on Sophia's mind, he had a different line of thought. "Since you love me that much, why can't you give me some time to fall in love with you again?"
"Are you sure you'll fall in love with me again?"
"Do you not have any confidence in yourself?"
Sophia stared at him and burst out laughing. "No. Instead, I'm not confident in you, Claudius."
A frown marred the man's countenance. "Why?"
Sophia was about to say something when someone began kicking the door aggressively.
Those were apparent door-kicking sounds and not door-knocking sounds.
Yasmin stared at the man in disbelief. "You're still protecting her? Mind you, I am your fiancée!"
"I don't have a fiancée."
After saying that, Claudius shook her hand off.
Yasmin staggered a few steps back, her body shuddering violently and her teeth tightly clenched in extreme anger.
Right then, uniform voices resonated from outside the room. "Mdm. Rose."
Shortly after, Sophia heard a woman's voice. "Claudius, what's the commotion about?"
Following that, she saw an alluring woman walking in.
At the sight of that woman, Sophia was taken aback.
Naturally, Rose also took notice of Sophia, who was standing beside Claudius. The former scrutinized Sophia from head to toe before finally coming to a stop on her face. "What a pretty lady indeed."
Rose shifted her gaze to Claudius. "This is the type you like?"
He kept an icy look on his face. "I think you should know whether or not this is the type I like even more than I do." "Claudius, is that how you talk to me?"
The man did not utter a response and, instead, stepped forward and stood in front of Sophia.
That was an action he did on reflex. He only realized what he did after doing it.
Sophia felt her heart skip a beat. As much as Claudius had lost his memory, he still never failed to protect her, moreover, doing it out of instinct.
Recognizing that her backer was here, Yasmin quickly walked up to Rose. "Mdm. Rose, look!"
Rose gazed at Yasmin and smiled. "Don't be angry, Yas. I'll seek justice for you."
Then, she turned to Sophia and asked, "What's your name, young lady?"
Behind Claudius, Sophia stepped out, then answered, "Sophia."
"What a nice name." Rose smiled in response. "You should apologize to Yasmin."
"Why should she apologize?" Claudius frowned in disapproval.
Rose glanced at the man before directing her gaze back at Sophia. "In a way, you've stolen Yasmin's fiancé. I don't think it's too much to ask you to apologize to her, isn't it?"
