A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 3: Sophia's Buddha amulet

Mary felt that her son had changed a lot, but she didn't ask too many questions.

She had been in the hospital for almost a year, and it was normal for Ethan to change due to the hardships.

She also didn't inquire about John's situation to avoid adding more pain to Ethan's heart.

Back at the rental house, Ethan paid the landlord the rent he owed and then moved out with his mother that night.

Besides avoiding harassment from online loan companies, he also wanted to avoid Alexander's revenge.

Ethan had the ability and confidence to protect himself, but his mother was as frail as a reed.

Ethan rented a single room in a village in the city for his mother to recuperate.

Mary's health improved, and the pressure of medical expenses decreased, but Ethan wasn't relaxed. He still owed a lot of online loans.

Moreover, Ethan was still concerned about finding his adoptive father John, whether he was dead or alive, he needed an answer.

The phone rang.

On the fifth morning after being discharged from the hospital, Mary was in much better health and could take care of herself. Ethan turned on his phone, which had been off for five days. Immediately, dozens of text messages flooded in. Then, a call came in.

Ethan put on his earphones and answered. Soon, a woman's cold voice came through.

"Finally turned it on? I thought you ran away with the money."

"These days, your phone was off, you didn't reply to messages, and no one was at home. What have you been doing?"

"You don't want to stay in the Thompson family? Then get out."

It was Sophia.

Ethan quickly explained, "Sorry, I've been with my mother these days. She just got out of the hospital and needed someone to take care of her."

"I turned off my phone because the debt collection companies were calling non-stop. I was worried it would worry her, so I turned it off for a while."

He asked softly, "What do you want from me?"

Although he had been looked down upon in the Thompson family this year, Ethan knew he had no right to get angry. After all, it was the Thompson family who gave him five hundred thousand for his mother's treatment.

Hearing that Ethan was taking care of Mary, Sophia's tone softened a bit.

"Send me your location. I'll pick you up in my car."

Ethan was slightly surprised. "Did you come back from your trip?"

A week ago, the Thompson family of five went on an overseas trip, leaving Ethan alone to watch the house.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Send your location." Sophia hung up the phone impatiently.

Ethan had no choice but to send her his location.

"Vroom—"

Half an hour later, a red BMW stopped in front of Ethan.

The door opened, and a dazzling beauty stepped out.

The woman was dressed in black, with delicate features, snow-white skin, and a cold yet sexy vibe. Especially her long, white legs, shapely and smooth, were very attractive as she walked.

Many passers-by immediately widened their eyes, and their breathing unconsciously quickened.

It was Sophia.
