Chapter 964
Feeling strung up after all the unsuccessful calls, Sophia was suddenly caught in a trance whensomeone picked up the phone on the receiving end. Overwhelmed by her nervousness, her mouthstiffened as she failed to speak the words that were forming at the tip of her tongue.
On the other side of the call, John asked, “What’s the matter, Sophia?”
As she tried hard to fight back her tears, she uttered, “What’s wrong with you, John?! Why didn’t youpick up the damn call throughout the afternoon?”
John responded with an affirmative hum and chuckled. “Oh, my phone was on silent mode, so I didn’thear your call.”
Oh come on! If only I could slip my hand through our screens and give him a slap in the face. Sophiathen slowly organized her thoughts. “Tell me honestly. Is there something wrong on your side? Logancalled up and told me that Husky is lying in the hospital right now. I heard he is in a critical conditiontoo.” novelbin
John answered, “Oh, so this is what it is about. Husky is injured, but he is fine. We don’t know whatreally happened yet because he is still unconscious, but we believe he was exposed when he wassearching for Roselia.” Roselia is now my biggest headache. I’m not really worried about her safetysince she is quick-witted, but the only way I can entirely put my mind to ease is to find her.
Meanwhile, Sophia kept quiet for a short while and brought up her concern. “Are you in danger, John?Please! You really need to watch out!”
John laughed it off and reassured Sophia. “Come on, I’m fine! Furthermore, my men are here with me,so I doubt anyone can even lay a finger on me for the time being.”
While her husband’s reassuring words seemed to ease her mind, she contemplated briefly and asked,“Can you be back early tonight?”
Faced with her question, John let out a sigh in response without saying anything. However, Sophiaunderstood what that meant. Then, the man continued to say, “I’m a little busy today, and I’m afraid I’llprobably be back late tonight. So, don’t wait on me. Go ahead and sleep early.”
Knowing that John was indeed busy with his work, Sophia helplessly said, “Alright, I’ll leave you to it,but please stay safe! Okay?”
With a smile on his face, he answered, “I heard you loud and clear. Don’t worry about me. Take care.”
After the call ended, Sophia patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. Darn it! That nearly gave mea heart attack!
Sophia set her eyes outside the window and decided to take a walk around the garden. She then saton the bench, where she could clearly have a good view of the car park. Not long after that, the SecondConstance Family returned in their car. Oh, it’s time to leave work. After a short while, she saw theThird Constance Family returning as well.
In that instant, Sophia sighed in a helpless manner. William is now with Matilda, and John isn’t comingback anytime soon. So, that means Old Mrs. Constance and I are alone in the house. I guess I finallyhave a taste of what Matilda used to go through back then. Sophia continued to sit in the garden untilthe maid came to inform her that the meal was ready.
Upon seeing Sophia return alone, Old Mrs. Constance asked in surprise, “Is John still not back yet?”
Sophia nodded her head and said, “Oh, don’t wait on him. He says he’ll be staying back for worktonight.”
Old Mrs. Constance let out a sigh and stated, “Alas! After a few days of short-lived liveliness, we’reback to square one once more.”
Nevertheless, Sophia responded with silence, heading to the dining table before settling down for themeal. Soon, the two ladies filled the dull atmosphere with awkward silence as they quietly ate theirmeals. After that, Old Mrs. Constance sat on the couch, while Sophia headed upstairs to her bedroom.Then, she lay in her bed and scrolled on her social media news feeds but was too distracted to gothrough them.
In the end, Sophia decided to give Logan a call, hearing his nervous voice the moment he picked upthe call. It looks like Logan is in the middle of something.
