Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1173

In the end, Sophia needed to clench her fists for a long while… before eventually managing to calm herself enough to say, “…I’m busy dealing with my mother’s funeral. I don’t want to talk about this now.”

Following that, she hung up before heading straight to the funeral parlor…

Though the funeral ended up being held at the city’s grandest parlor, Sophia remembered that her mother disliked troublesome things, so she only invited a handful of guests, mostly consisting of friends and family.

Kneeling before her mother’s monochrome picture, Sophia couldn’t help but shed more and more tears… If only she hadn’t fallen for Zivon… If only she had been a good, obedient daughter who stayed by her mother’s side more… Could all this have been avoided…?

That quiz… The fake relationship… Her suicide attempt… All these had factored into this, hadn’t it? Also… Xavia. Had Xavia not appeared back then, would the heart attack have happened in the first place? Whichever the reason was, Sophia ultimately knew that the blame fell on her. She was the main cause of her death.

‘Sorry… I’m so… So sorry…!’

In the end, she cried so much that it felt suffocating… It got so terrible that she ended up almost blacking out throughout the process… And the worst had yet to come.

The wake was scheduled for multiple days, and Sophia simply refused to eat or drink till everything was over. Because of that, she was a literal skeleton of her former self on the day her mother was lowered into the ground… And once the funeral was finally over, she immediately collapsed.

Seeing that, everyone present couldn’t help but mutter things like, “How pitiful to have to lose her mother at such a young age… Who will she have to share her good and bad times with in the future…?”

“Putting all that aside, I admit that all this happened due to my inability to resolve my relationship with Young Master Burton… Looking back, I should’ve just declined to allow Miss Harrison to look away… Maybe find a new objective in life… Regardless, please know that I never intended to keep this a secret forever… I… I truly was waiting for a proper opportunity to tell you all this… Alas, all that I did, played out in the worst ways possible…”

“Not only did I almost cause Sophia to die, but… I indirectly caused your death through that misunderstanding… I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry for disappointing you this much…!” concluded Xavia who knew that she had no right to be saying all this. Even so, she needed to let it all out. After all, it had been days since she had been able to sleep properly…

Every time she tried to, she’d simply dream of Madam Young’s corpse… She’d come to life and begin chasing after her, tormenting her as she asked why Xavia had done all this… Her guilt had simply grown so great that it was near suffocating for her twenty-four-seven… With that, though her apology wouldn’t bring Madam Young back, it’d at least put her mind at ease a little…

She stayed there for the longest time… but in the end, she got up before saying, “…Don’t worry, Aunt Dana… I’ve made my decision.”
