When the Wolves came in 80s, My Officer Novel

Chapter 10 "You ... Sofia, you keep misunderstanding me. There's really nothing between Serena and me... Fabio's voice trembled slightly, but his expression was full of guilt and confusion. I confronted Fabio, "Nothing between you?" "Then why do you always defend her? Why do you ignore me every single time because of her? On my birthday, she called you away right after our wedding ceremony. On our anniversary, you left again to help her find a job." "The gifts you've bought for her must already be piled up like a mountain, right?" "I ... I just wanted to take care of an old friend.

We grew up together, so I can't just ignore her, Fabio explained weakly, his tone full of excuses. "Old friend? Don't make me laugh! We've been neighbors for more than ten years. You think Sofia doesn't know who you really are? You have the nerve to say there's nothing between you and Serena? If you became paralyzed again, Serena would be the first to run away." "Back then, she despised you! It was Sofia who stayed with you, caring for you day and night helping you recover step by step. Do you even have a conscience, Fabio?" Monica suddenly exploded beside me, unable to hold back any longer.

Everyone nearby turned to look. Yet, Monica didn't care at all. "That time in the mountains, Sofia almost got killed by wolves! And what did you do? You left with Serena, the one who wasn't even injured! Do you have any idea what Sofia looked like wher my brother scared those wolves away with a detonator?" "She was covered in blood, lying there unconscious! She stayed in the hospital for a week and you didn't visit her even once. It was I who took care of her every single day. Did you ever see he wounds? They were horrible, deep and ugly.

She couldn't even move at first." Fabio's eyes widened in disbelief. "You... were injured?" At that moment, I felt utterly drained. My heart, already numb, twisted painfully again. Yes, the man who had once sworn to love me didn't even know that I had nearly died. "Are you even human, Fabio?" Monica shouted again, her fury growing. "Both Sofia and Serena were stuck up that tree, but you rode your horse straight to Serena without even glancing at your wife! Do you know how desperate Sofia felt when she fell? Wolves were circling beneath her! She could have died!" "I didn't know.

I really didn't know. Serena told me you were fine... " Fabio said weakly, his face pale. He turned to look at Serena, who stood frozen beside him. Her head was bowed as she looked nervous. Only then did Fabio finally realize what had really happened. Monica continued, "Whoa, Fabio, you're unbelievable! Sofia is a good woman. Someone from the Altomare Family, yet she lived worse than a maid in your house.

Meanwhile, this woman here takes advantage of you and pretends to be weak and innocent." "The day I took Sofia home from the hospital, you and her heartless parents were all surrounding Chanter a 2/2-75.0 11:33 pm GP Serena! And Serena only had a few scratches! Do you have any idea how broken Sofia was?" "Her own parents didn't even visit her, while her husband was doting on her adopted sister. You two really are a perfect pair!" Monica sarcastically shouted as she gave a thumbs-up. Fabio looked completely lost. He had been busy with the village at that time, indeed. But that was no excuse.

He had visited Serena because he thought she was fragile and needed comfort, yet he had completely ignored me, his wife. The thought of me lying in a hospital bed alone, covered in blood and bandages, should have haunted him. But it hadn't even crossed his mind. Fabio took a deep breath and took a few shaky steps toward me. He reached out, trying to grab my hand, but I quickly pulled away. "Sofia, I didn't know," he pleaded, his voice hoarse and trembling. "I swear I didn't. If I'd known you were hurt, how could I not have come to you? Serena and my parents ... they told me you were fine.

So, I believed them..." Before I could reply, one of the officers sitting nearby spoke up, his tone heavy. "Wait, Fabio ... you didn't know your wife was injured? Everyone else did. She was attacked by wolves that night and was covered in wounds. Leonardo saved her himself. We were all there trying to rescue the villagers. A few of them were badly hurt, too. We thought you knew all along." Fabio no longer had the composure he had previously. This time, he felt like a terrible man. His eyes were red and wet as he stared at me.
