Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 383: Chapter 383

If someone broke into the stairs at this time, they would definitely see such a fierce scene.
But Sophie didn't resist this time. Her complicated heart was finally defeated by the fact that Hurley might not live long.
She knew very well at this moment that she did not want Hurley to die.
An indefinite time has passed, and both people found themselves out of breath. Hurley let go of Sophie but kept holding her and leaning against her.
After a moment of silence, Sophie finally broke it, "What's going on?"
She reached for Hurley's wrist, seemingly just pulling him closer. In reality, Sophie's fingers were positioned over Hurley's pulse, sensing its rapid rhythm.
Seeing the concern on Sophie's face made Hurley chuckle.
"Sophie, if I can recover, will you promise me something?"
Hurley knew that if it was a normal situation, Sophie would definitely not agree, so he had to find a way to trick her.
"What is it?"
"Be with me. Marry me,"
"You..." Sophie never expected that this was what Hurley was talking about.
If it had been before, no need to think about it, Sophie would not have agreed.
Although her feelings for Hurley did seem to have changed a little, it was possible that Hurley's feelings for her were also based on the fact that this was a brand new her.
Maybe it's because he had found her beautiful, or maybe it's because his two children had taken a liking to her.
But if Hurley knew that she was the little fool back then, would he still be willing to be with her?
"Let's discuss this once you're feeling better,"
But she saw that Hurley didn't seem to be seriously ill. Although Hurley's pulse was beating fast, it was within the normal range.
So what disease did Hurley have?
"Hurley, what's wrong with you? Where's the medical report? Show it to me,"
"Sophie, are you worried about me?" Hurley asked, smiling.
"Given the circumstances, how can you ask that?" Sophie said, clearly baffled by Hurley's mindset.
However, Hurley just smiled and took Sophie into his arms again.
"Hey, you..."
Hurley held Sophie like this until Hurley's cell phone rang.
"Answer the phone first!" Sophie reminded.
She was almost choked by Hurley. Hurley didn't say a word but just left a sentence saying that the doctor said it couldn't be cured. How worrying!
Dare to disturb Hurley's good things at this time, a trace of anger clearly flashed in Hurley's eyes.
It was Chris who called. He had already brought over all the important documents and asked where Hurley was.
"I understand," Hurley responded before hanging up, "It was Chris. He's sent over two documents,"
Hurley intended to take Sophie with him, also planning to reveal that he wasn't actually the patient in the hospital. He also wanted to explain about the 'naive girl' to Sophie.
However, Sophie did not intend to go there with Hurley. "He is here to find you. Go ahead. I will wait for you here,"
As Hurley ascended the stairs, Sophie approached the nurse's station on the VIP floor to inquire about Hurley's condition and the attending physician.
"Who are you?" the young nurse asked, eyeing Sophie curiously.
"I'm his family," Sophie responded.
The nurse flipped through the pages. "We don't seem to have a patient named Hurley here,"
"No? He is very ill and will not live long. Can you take a closer look?"
"I'm sorry, miss, we really don't have a patient named Hurley here,"
This was puzzling. Hurley visited the hospital regularly but had never been admitted.
Sophie was waiting downstairs, and sure enough, not long after, she saw Chris coming down from upstairs.
He has the document in his hand and it should be signed.
"Chris," Sophie called out.
"Ms. Hades, Mr. Walton is still upstairs," the receptionist informed Sophie.
"I know. I'm not here to see him. Tell me the truth. What's wrong with Hurley? What did the doctor say?" Sophie pressed, expecting Chris to have the answers.
However, Chris was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean by this, Ms. Hades?"
Isn't Mr. Walton very good?
"You must know that Hurley has been out of the company these days. What disease is he suffering from?"
Chris realized that Sophie must have misunderstood. It seemed that Mr. Walton hadn't told Sophie yet.
As a subordinate, Chris naturally helps his boss. If Hurley doesn't say anything, Chris won't either.
"Ms. Hades should ask Mr. Walton herself," Avoiding further discussion, Chris quickly left the scene.
Though Chris was a loyal and discreet employee, Sophie had now pieced together the truth.
When Hurley returned downstairs and didn't immediately spot Sophie, he called her.
Sophie directed him to her location, and Hurley hurried over.
"Why are you here?" He wanted to pull Sophie away, but Sophie's hand shrank.
"I just spoke with Chris. He filled me in on everything. Hurley, do you have an explanation?" Sophie's tone was deliberately icy.
"Did Chris tell you?" Hurley didn't look at his phone at this time. If he did, he would definitely see the message Chris sent him.
"Mr. Walton, Ms. Hades seems to have misunderstood that you are sick, so I didn't say anything,"
"And what's your excuse, Hurley? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm sorry," Hurley apologized, "I never intended to deceive you,"
Hurley had assumed Sophie knew he wasn't the patient in the hospital.
Sophie felt her heart drop. Hurley had indeed lied to her!
"I didn't know how to tell you... I..." Hurley hesitated, "Let me show you,"
It is at that moment that Hurley will come clean to Sophie.
After taking Sophie into the elevator, Hurley said, "I probably haven't mentioned my ex-wife to you that much,"
When she suddenly talked about herself, a subtle change flashed across Sophie's face, but Hurley didn't notice it.
"No, you haven't,"
"I encountered my ex-wife unexpectedly on the street. When I brought her home, she was seriously ill, had a low IQ, and many scars on her face,"
"She was very simple. She is like a child, and she is overly clingy. My grandmother took a liking to her and even consulted an astrologer who claimed we were a perfect match. Given my grandmother's poor health at the time, she insisted we marry. We did, and soon after, had children,"
"But I was engrossed in my work and neglected her. Eventually, she left,"
This was the first time Sophie heard Hurley mention her like this, so what did Hurley mean? Why did he say she was gone? Didn't Hurley kill her?
Hurley continued, "At the time, she left our child with me. Later, I heard about an unfortunate incident involving her. However, I recently received news about her,"
"Sophie, I've found my ex-wife," Hurley's voice was eerily calm.
However, these words caused ripples in Sophie's heart. Why was this different from what she knew?
Hurley, found "Cersei"?
But wasn't she in front of him? Hurley didn't seem to recognize him. Did another one appear from nowhere?
