Female Novel
Chapter 768
Having undergone all that suffering, he still needs to tell us everything. That’s just sad.
Sophia stood at the entrance of the warehouse and looked inside. The man had been pushed off hischair and was now lying huddled on the ground, his body covered in blood. A cigarette dangled fromthe side of John’s mouth as he stepped down hard on the man’s thigh wound. “And then?”
Seeing that the man refused to speak further, John applied more strength to his foot. The manscreamed and then groaned. “Okay, okay. I’ll tell you!”
Sophia stood at the door listening to him. The man said hesitantly that the person who instructed him todo this job would often ask him to do this kind of thing, but the previous jobs he had done were morecomplicated than this one. This job was much simpler; all he had to do was to hit a woman in the bellywith a hard object. He originally thought that it was so simple that there was no need for him to spendmuch effort on it, but he didn’t expect things to end up this way. novelbin
When John asked who hired him, the man yelled, “Old Leopard! It’s Old Leopard. All I know is thisnickname. His real name is no longer in use. Everybody now calls him that.”
John laughed. “It’s him again? I’ve already had him tailed, yet he is still able to act up. It seems that Ineed to discard some of my subordinates too.”
Sophia felt bored. Now, she no longer needed to do anything, so there was no room for her to performany further. Thus, she found a place to sit down by the door and took out her phone to call Matilda. Shemainly wanted to ask the latter if she felt any discomfort, and to tell her to go to the hospital quickly ifsomething felt wrong. After all, Matilda was no spring chicken anymore, so there might be some bad
effects.
From the other end of the phone, Matilda said that she was fine, and she didn’t need to go to thehospital. Sophia could vaguely hear William’s voice asking Matilda if the water was too hot and if shewanted to drink it now. Laughing, Sophia thought to herself that sometimes, things might look bad onthe surface, but it would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Some of the best surprises were hiddenwithin the worst situations.
Sophia waited at the door for a while. Shortly after, John and Fabian came out, saying that they hadasked everything that they needed to ask. Sophia nodded. “Let’s go then. Why don’t we go and eatsomething first? I was upset just now and didn’t eat much. Now I’m hungry.”
Fabian laughed out loud. “You still have an appetite after all that? Wow, I really admire you.” Mostwomen would be nauseous after witnessing the gory scene just now, but Sophia seemed to have abetter appetite after watching it.
Not taking him seriously, Sophia just said, “That’s not my blood anyway, so who cares? Come, let’s goand grab a bite.”
Hence, John and Fabian brought her to a restaurant to have some food. The two men hadn’t eatenmuch earlier as well, so now, they accompanied Sophia to eat. Halfway through the meal, John made acall and asked a doctor to go over to tend to the man’s wounds. Sophia had struck so violently thatJohn found that the wounds were too serious for simple dressing to work. He was certain that they hadto be stitched up by a doctor.
Meanwhile, Sophia didn’t care about what John was saying on the phone. She simply ate her fillwithout saying a word. Then, she took the time to ask Fabian how he was doing.
Fabian replied thoughtfully, “Well, I’m fine. Not much has happened. I just spend my days relaxing andtime passes quickly.”
Sophia sighed. “This morning, Old Mrs. Blackwell and your mother came for lunch.”
Realization dawned on Fabian upon hearing her words. “They must have said something, or else youwon’t be looking at me like this.”
Sophia did not beat around the bush either. “They did, but they were pretty vague about it, so I don’tknow much. But after listening to them talk, I think that they were sorry and regretted their actions.They just don’t know how to reconcile with you.”
