Chapter 3 - The Truth Behind the Smile

Everyone was standing outside the operation theatre.The red light above the door was still on.No one understood what had suddenly happened to Emya. She had never had any health problems before.

"What happened to her suddenly?" someone whispered.

"Did she eat something last night?"

Everyone was worried.Everyone except sophie and her husband quietly beside them.their face looked concerned… but if someone looked closely, they would notice something strange.

They didn't look sad.But she wasn't happy either.alric suddenly grabbed Sophie's arm and pulled her toward a quiet corner.

"Did you do something?"he asked in a low voice.

Sophia looked at him coldly."No."

" But even if I did… what's your problem?"

" Do you still love her?" Sophie continued mockingly. "Wow. So your plan is to keep two wife?." You should be happy she might die."

Alric immediately shook his head. " No, that's not what I mean. I just want to know the truth. Did you do something or not?"

" And why such a hurry? Was it really necessary to kill her for our marriage?"

Sophie's expression turned annoyed. " Don't bother me. I didn't do anything."

" And even if I did… I wouldn't tell you."

" Okay… okay," Alric said.

At that moment, his mother's voice interrupted them." Why are you two arguing over there? Your wife is dying and you're fighting?"

Everyone looked at them suspiciously." Call Emya's family," his mother ordered. "What are you doing standing here?"

"Okay, Mom," Alric replied.

He immediately called Emya's family.

Meanwhile, Sophie walked back to the others and started acting worried again.

Two hours later, the operation theatre door finally opened.Everyone rushed toward the doctor. " Doctor, what happened? Is she okay?"

"Yes, she is stable now," the doctor said.

Everyone sighed in relief.

"But we noticed something unusual in her body."

"Unusual?" everyone asked in shock.

Alric's heart skipped a beat.He immediately looked at Sophie.Sophie stood there silently.

"Don't worry for now," the doctor continued. "She is safe at the moment. I will discuss the details with her husband later."

Sophie continued pretending as if she knew nothing.

After some time, Sophie entered Emya's room.Emya was still lying unconscious on the bed.Sophie slowly walked closer.Then she leaned down beside her ear and whispered." So you're dying already, Emya?"

Her voice was cold." There's still so much left for you to suffer."

She smiled slightly." You haven't suffered enough yet. This much pain won't give me peace."

" I want to see you cry.I want to see the day when you come to me… begging for your husband.Maybe then I will finally feel satisfied."

After saying that, Sophie straightened up and walked out of the room.She believed Emya had heard nothing.Because Emya looked completely unconscious.

But in reality— Emya had heard everything. She was only pretending.Her heart trembled in confusion.What did I ever do to Sophie… that she hates me this much?

After a while, Emya slowly opened her eyes. Immediately everyone gathered around her.

"Emya, are you okay?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Are you alright?"

"Please stop," someone said. "Don't make so much noise. She just woke up."

Alric stepped closer." Emya, do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?"

Emya looked at him. " No… I'm fine."

She kept staring at his face." Why are you looking at me like that?"

Emya gave a smile." I'm just looking at you carefully.If I died… I wouldn't be able to see you again."

"Don't say things like that,Alric said.As long as I'm alive, I won't let anything happen to you."

Emya simply smiled." I want to go home. I don't feel comfortable here."

She looked around the hospital room.

" I hate the smell of hospitals."

On the other side, Sophie felt slightly irritated.Who does Alric love more… me or Emya?What if he's just playing with me?

What if he never divorces Emya? Her thoughts were getting darker.

But she quickly changed her expression and spoke kindly." She's fine now. There's no reason for her to stay in the hospital.It's better if we take her home. I'll personally take care of her until she recovers."

Everyone looked at her with admiration "Sophie, you're so sweet."

"Thank you for caring so much."

" Thank you, Sophie," she said. "But what about your work?"

"I'll take a few days off," Sophie replied. I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone right now."

Alric felt uneasy listening to her words.He wasn't sure what Sophie might do next.

" Okay," he said finally.

"Let's go home."

---

After reaching home, Emya went straight to her room and pretended to sleep.

At that moment, Alric received a call from the hospital. " Mr. Alric," the doctor said.

"We found a substance in Emya's body that increases heartbeat abnormally."

" A drug like that was present in her body."

The doctor continued. "It's important we talk about this. Can you come to the hospital?"

" My wife is not feeling well right now. Can I come tomorrow morning?"

"That's fine," the doctor replied.

After the call ended, Alric's mind became chaotic.

Meanwhile, Sophie was sitting with Emya in her room.They were talking normally, as if nothing had happened.

Then suddenly Emya asked quietly—

" Sophie… I want to ask you something."

"What now?"

"Have you ever fallen in love with someone? . I just want to know. I don't know if I will get another chance to ask."

Sophie remained silent for a moment.Then she spoke." We are human. Everyone likes someone at some point."

"But that person wasn't in my destiny."

"That's all."

" Really? Who was he? Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"I don't know," Sophie said.

"Maybe I just didn't want to."

"Do you still love him?" Emya asked.

Sophie smiled." What difference does it make? He's already married.So loving him now is useless."

" But who is he? I just want to know his name."

"I don't want to talk about him," Sophie said.

Then she said quietly— " Even when love destroys someone, it cannot be seen.That's love. There is no medicine for it."

"Wow," Emya said. " What a line."

But Emya still wanted to know who the man was. Because she want to hear it from sophie mouth first.

Finally Sophie spoke again. " You know something strange?"

"What?"

There was a time when that same person started liking me.I never told him anything.

"But he liked me."

"What should I do in that situation, Emya?"

Emya looked shocked. " Really? Then that's good. Do you want to be with him?"

" But there's a problem."

"What?"

"He's already married."

"And he cheated on his wife."

Emya stayed silent for a moment. " Oh…"

"I feel bad for his wife."

" It's late now, Sophie."

"Let's talk tomorrow."

"Go to sleep."

"Okay," Sophie said.

But that night—

Emya couldn't sleep.

Her mind was filled with one terrifying realization.

That means… Sophie didn't seduce my husband.My husband loved her first.Her heart felt heavier.Then the real fault… is my husband's.

But another thought stabbed her even deeper.

Sophie is my best friend.How could she do this to me?

How…?

She stared at the ceiling in silence.

Her mind filled with endless questions.

What should I ask?

What should I do next?

Another side if sophie don't do anything for Emya heartbeat problem so who do it ??
