Female Novel
Chapter 763
Sophia thought her days were fairly tiring.
After standing around for a while, she turned around to enter the living room.
Matilda was standing at the entrance. She smiled at her and said, “What’s up? Are you feeling…”
Before the word ‘bored’ left her lips, Matilda saw a man riding a motorcycle over to them at a very slowspeed. The man had a helmet on, so she couldn’t see his face at all, but she could see that he washolding something in his hand.
As he rode toward them, he turned to look at Sophia in the courtyard.
Matilda instinctively felt that something wasn’t right. Thus, she quickly ran toward Sophia, who had herback to the man and didn’t notice him at all. Matilda had no idea how she did it, but she rushed overand turned to block Sophia’s body.
At that very moment, she saw the rider throwing something over at them from the corner of her eyes.With no time to think, Matilda immediately held Sophia and protected her from the attack. novelbin
All she could feel was something sharp hitting the small of her back. Although it didn’t hurt much, itwould have terrible consequences if it were to hit Sophia on the same spot.
Sophia was startled by Matilda’s actions. Before she could turn around, she heard the motorcycleaccelerate and then the sound of it speeding away.
Then, Sophia quickly turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Holding her waist with one hand, Matilda put the other hand on Sophia’s arm. “Help me into the housefirst. I was hit by something.”
When Sophia lowered her head, she saw half a brick on the ground. This half of a brick had obviouslybeen buffed carefully in advance as it had many sharp edges.
Sophia hurriedly helped Matilda into the living room, then she lifted her clothes. The small of her backwas swollen and inflamed. Also, there was a small area on it that was bleeding slightly. Since Matildawas wearing clothing that was quite thin, it was natural for her to be injured from the impact.
Sophia frowned. “What really happened? Did someone come by the door just now?”
Matilda let out a sigh as she waved for Ms. Cannon to get some medicine to disinfect her wound. Then,she replied, “Well, there was a motorcyclist who obviously came for you.”
Sophia was stunned by this. “But John has arranged for bodyguards to surround this place, right? Howcould this happen?”
Matilda chuckled. “Even bodyguards can’t know this kind of thing in advance. It’s alright now.Fortunately, nothing serious happened.” She looked at Sophia’s belly. “If that brick had hit you, thisbaby...”
When she said this, Sophia and Ms. Cannon fell silent.
After some thought, Sophia quickly grabbed her phone to call John, but John called her first.
Just as she picked up the call, John’s voice came over. “Are you alright? I heard that somethinghappened at home.”
The speed at which he got the news surprised Sophia somewhat, but still she answered, “I'm fine.Madam Flintstone was hurt though.”
John asked Sophia to wait, saying that he was coming home right away.
Hearing the sounds of him leaving the office, Sophia hung up the phone.
Matilda was starting to feel pain at this moment. Just now, she hadn’t felt much pain, but now theaching had intensified. She thought that it was probably due to her age. Her body was not as agile as itused to be, and now it had become worse having been hit by a brick.
Ms. Cannon helped Matilda go upstairs to rest, while Sophia waited for John downstairs.
John came back very soon. As the car stopped, he quickly opened the door and rushed over.
Standing in the living room, Sophia said quickly, “Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.”
Upon seeing Sophia standing there safe and well, John was relieved. He said, “One of the bodyguardscalled me and told me about it. He had gone after that guy.”
The bodyguard’s reaction was quick enough. When he saw the man throw something into thecourtyard, he quickly gave chase.
