“Alright.” Roger agreed and let Sophie happily drag him to buy tickets. Then, they boarded the Ferris wheel together.
Right before they were about to step onto the Ferris wheel, Sophie suddenly realized something. “Sorry… I forgot that you can’t see… It might be challenging for you to get into
the Ferris wheel.”
The Ferris wheel didn’t stop, and passengers had to climb into the cabin while it was moving. Therefore, boarding it might be difficult for someone like Roger who couldn’t see.
“It’s fine. I also want to take a ride. Just help me up, and we’ll go together,” Roger said nonchalantly.
Sophie could not help but nod firmly. “Alright, let’s go up together then.”
Afterward, the two of them went up the steps together.
The staff walked over and did not notice anything unusual about Roger.
When the cabin arrived, Sophie pulled Roger forward and said in a low voice, “The cabin is here. Now, step across. Lift your legs a bit.”
Roger smiled and stepped up directly with remarkable agility.
“You made it!” Sophie was pleasantly surprised.
Roger even turned around and extended his hand to her, saying. “Come on up.”
“Okay.” Sophie nodded. Then, she took his hand and climbed into the cabin.
The staff closed the cabin door and muttered, “Anything can happen these days. Even a blind person is riding the Ferris wheel?”
But the moment the staff looked up, she seemed to see the man in the cabin staring
her.
Instantly, she felt a chill run down her spine, wondering if she had seen it wrongly.
As the Ferris wheel slowly ascended, Sophie’s eyes were filled with joy. Looking at the gradually expanding night view outside the window, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “When I was a child, I came here a few times with Laura. But she’s afraid of heights

and uninterested, so I never got a chance to take a ride.”
As a child, no matter what Laura did, the Bourn couple would always indulge her every whim. Only when Laura wanted to go to the amusement park would Sophie occasionally get to join. However, even when they came to the amusement park, she could only play what Laura wanted. If Laura didn’t want to, the Bourn couple wouldn’t allow Sophie to play
on her own.
Growing up in the Bourn family, she was just Laura’s appendage, and nothing more.
“It’s okay. From today onwards, if you want to come and have fun, I’ll come with you every day,” Roger said assertively, his voice revealing a hint of seriousness.
Sophie was stumped for words for a moment, feeling incredibly touched and somewhat amused. She said “I’m not a child anymore. I don’t have to come here every day. Besides, I came here with my classmates before when I was in high school. It wasn’t until after the college entrance examination that I became paralyzed and didn’t come here again.”
Hearing her melancholic voice, Roger could not help but ask, “How did you become paralyzed?”
Sophie put on a wry smile. Since they were so close to each other, there was nothing she could not tell him. She said bitterly, “Well, it’s because of my college entrance exam
results.
“I did exceptionally well in the exam and Laura got jealous.

“So she pushed me down the stairs. As a result, I became crippled.
“After a simple treatment, the Bourn family took me out of the hospital and made me drop out of school, citing paralysis as the reason.
“Actually, they just didn’t want to upset Laura because my academic achievements outshined her, and I stole her limelight at school.
“So, they decided not to let me continue my education.”
Hearing this, Roger’s eyes instantly turned extremely grim.
“The Bourn couple actually let Laura go this far? This can be considered an attempted. murder,” Roger said angrily.

He couldn’t believe this family could be so vicious.
It was also hard for him to imagine how Sophie managed to survive in that family.
With a cold smile, Sophie said, “But the Bourn family sees it differently. They just think it’s my bad luck and I’m destined to be paralyzed.”
Harriet’s words were like a thorn and they still stung.
Suddenly, Sophie’s hand was held tightly, and Roger said earnestly, “I won’t allow you to say that about yourself.”
She looked up and met his unfocused eyes. Her heart trembled for a moment.
‘How strange. He can’t see me at all. But why do I feel embarrassed under his burning gaze?‘ Sophie pondered
“You’ve gotten back on your feet again, which means you’re not destined to be paralyzed. And the Bourn family… how could they treat you like this? Now that I know about this! won’t sit back and do nothing,” Roger said.
His voice carried a hint of coldness.
Sophie subconsciously frowned. “What are you going to do?”
Seeing that Sophie was still worried about the heartless family, Roger said with a chilling tone, “This world is fair. People should pay the price for what they do. This is just the law of nature, not something I’m planning to do.”
For some reason, Roger’s words made Sophie shudder a little.
But he had a point, and she didn’t know how to respond.
The two of them fell into silence.
After a while, Sophie looked into the distance and said with anticipation, “Just ignore them. I’ve left that awful place and stood up again. I’m ready for a life!”
She had found her biological parents. In the future, she could do whatever she wanted.

There was no need for her to felt.
Looking at Sophie’s smiling face, Roger’s mouth involuntarily lifted as well.

“Yes, from today onwards, you are the new Sophie,” stated Roger.
With his gentle support, Sophie’s smile became even more brightly.
The gloom that filled her heart gradually faded away and it felt really good.
She felt truly wonderful having a second chance in life.
Being able to find her family felt great too.
However, having him by her side made her feel the best.
Time passed quickly.
Sophie and Roger spent two hours at the amusement park.
Even though Roger couldn’t see, he still rode the pirate ship and bumper cars with Sophie. Sophie was in charge of driving the car while he only needed to enjoy the ride.
When the two of them left the amusement park, it was already past ten o’clock.
Sophie could not help but yawn. “I’m getting old, can’t play as much. Those students seem tireless. I really can’t compare to them.”
Roger suddenly patted her shoulder when he heard that. “If you’re tired, you can lean on me and sleep for a while.”
Sophie was slightly stunned, feeling warm in her heart again.
Roger was always so perceptive and considerate.
Looking at his handsome profile up close, her heart could not help but beat wildly.
Although they were husband and wife, they had only known each other for a short time.
At most, they would hold each other’s hands and support each other. She had never done such an intimate act with him before.
“What’s wrong?” Roger asked innocently.
Sophie looked into his clear eyes and could not help but gulp. “Nothing.”
‘Oh, he probably didn’t think too much about it. I’ve let my imagination run wild.

She stopped thinking and just leaned on his shoulder.
In an instant, a pleasant male cologne enveloped her.
