C22 (2/2)

Sophie didn't answer immediately. She chose silence.

Bailu was also curious, and she didn't think Sophie looked uncertain. Her previous behavior, and the deep hatred she hid.

She remembered Sophie's desperate eyes the first time she had caught her.

Sophie said to her, I really wish you were alive, and the seed in your belly.

That expression was strangely cold and decisive.

She wanted to step forward and help Sophie, but for some reason she seemed to care instinctively about the witch named Sophie.

”No, she can't,” Elijah said, suddenly appearing, breaking off the silence and the pressure, and White was relieved to catch his gaze. Elijah looked much more reliable than that Klaus, ”and even I can't be sure that I can control it.”

When Elijah told the truth, he was curious about Sophie's bargaining chip. ”But now, you witches have made him angry... I have a question. What is preventing my brother from killing you and choosing to work with you? ”

Sophie calmly walked to the side. With a wooden face, she took out a straw doll from the wall and removed the needle from its body.

Afterwards, she fiercely stabbed herself.

Blood suddenly spurted out of the palm of her hand, and the pain spread to her cranial nerves.

”Argh!” Damn it, what's going on? ”It hurts!”

Sophie slightly raised her chin towards her, looking directly at her flesh, ”White Dew, I'm very sorry... The magic that caused my sister to lose her life was not only confirming that you were pregnant, it also linked you with me. Therefore, anything that happens to me will happen to you. ”

Sophie glanced at the shocked witches and White Dew, and immediately looked directly at Elijah. ”That is to say, the lives of White Dew and the child are in my hands.”

Elijah and Beru were both silent.

She was sure that Sophie wasn't a fool. It was obvious that she had done a thorough investigation before this. Klaus might not have cared about this child, but Elijah was different.

Elijah admitted that the child meant a great deal to him.

Sophie looked at White Dew, but her eyes were on Elijah. She added helplessly, ”If I have to ensure your attention by hurting White Dew or worse, I'd be happy to.”
