Chapter - 295

Thump!

Unexpectedly, Kyle directly knelt at Sofia’s feet.

“Sofia, it’s my fault. I’m so useless… I can’t protect you. I’m so sorry, Sofia. Let me kowtow to you.”

Sofia lost it and broke down in tears.

She turned around to run up to Kyle and hugged him. “Dad, it’s not your fault. I made the choice myself. Since it’s my big day today, we shouldn’t be crying…”

Olivia also went up to them, wrapped her arms around Sofia, and began to weep. “Oh, my poor girl…”

The three of them hugged each other and bawled.

Hearing the cries, Zeke walked out of the room.

The sight that met his eyes made his heart ache with distress.

Sofia quickly wiped her tears and looked at the photo in Zeke’s hand before she said with a forced smile, “There was a fire last year. That photo was almost burned to ashes. Luckily, Dad managed to break in and take the photo. The fire left a big hole on the photo though, and Dad’s disabled leg also got burnt.”

Zeke hurriedly walked up to Kyle and lifted up his pant leg.

Kyle’s leg was covered in burn scars and many of the burn sites had pus oozing out of them.

Zeke took a deep breath to calm himself down before he spoke. “Sofia, get me some boiling water. I’m gonna clean Dad’s wounds.”

“Okay.” Sofia nodded her head and walked outside to boil some water.

Zeke took out his phone and dialled Ben’s number. “Get the best doctor in the city to come and treat my godfather.”

Given the fact that there wasn’t medicine in the countryside, Zeke couldn’t help him with treatment even though he was competent. He could only get a doctor to come here.

“Right away,” answered Ben quickly.

Looking at Zeke, Kyle smiled wryly.

Is something really wrong with him? Why does he say such absurd things?

It’s hard to merely make an appointment with the best doctor in the city, how’s it possible that he’ll come to this small village and treat me?

At noon, Olivia prepared some nice food despite her distress.

Kyle wasn’t in the mood for food as he was drowning in his sorrows. Zeke, however, was gobbling the food down.

The food still tastes the same.

All the food in the world is no match for the food prepared by Olivia.

Meanwhile, Sofia and Olivia felt sorry for Zeke as they watched him eat as if he’d been starving for days.

Does he not have enough to eat out there?

At this moment, a commotion was heard coming from outside their house.

Then, Joshua was heard shouting, “I’m here to deliver the wedding gifts, Sofia.”

The faces of Sofia and her parents clouded over in an instant.

Jonas and Joshua walked into the courtyard surrounded by a group of people.

After that, they laid out six red bags at the door.

Some of the villagers asked, “What did you put in your bag, Joshua?”

“Other than some branded cigarettes and good wines, there are eleven thousand in each bag, which represents my single-heartedness toward Sofia. In total, I’ve prepared sixty-six thousand, representing a future life filled with happiness and harmony,” Joshua said with a proud look on his face.

Wow!

The villagers went wild.

“Sixty thousand? You’re too good to Sofia.”

“I should’ve let my daughter marry you had I known you would give such a big amount of wedding gifts.”

“Sofia, this shows Joshua really loves you with all his heart, so you must cherish him.”.

However, astonishment was written all over Zeke’s face.

The villagers so shocked to see a wedding gift of merely sixty-six thousand?

The poverty level of this village was beyond his imagination.

“Just accept the wedding gifts, Sofia,” said Joshua.

“Okay.” Sofia nodded her head absentmindedly.

She then reached for the wedding gifts to take them inside the house.

According to the rules, once the wedding gifts were taken inside the house, Sofia would be considered Joshua’s wife.

At that very moment, Zeke suddenly stopped Sofia. “Those can wait, Sofia.”

“What are you doing, Zeke? Stop screwing around. It will bring bad luck. You don’t want Sofia to have bad luck in the future, do you?” Joshua scowled.

Ignoring Joshua, Zeke flashed Sofia a smile. “Listen, Sofia.”
