Feeling strung up after all the unsuccessful calls, Sophia was suddenly caught in a trance when someone picked up

the phone on the receiving end. Overwhelmed by her nervousness, her mouth stiffened 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 you pick 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’t hear your

call.”

Oh come on! If only I could slip my hand through our screens and give him a slap in the face. Sophia then slowly

organized her thoughts. “Tell me honestly. Is there something wrong on your side? Logan called up and told me that

Husky is lying in the hospital right now. I heard he is in a critical condition too.”

John answered, “Oh, so this is what it is about. Husky is injured, but he is fine. We don’t know what really happened

yet because he is still unconscious, but we believe he was exposed when he was searching for Roselia.” Roselia is

now my biggest headache. I’m not really worried about her safety since 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, Sophia understood what

that meant. Then, the man continued to say, “I’m a little busy today, and I’m afraid I’ll probably 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 me a heart attack! Sophia set her eyes outside the window and decided to take a walk

around the garden. She then sat on the bench, where she could clearly have a good view of the car park. Not long

after that, the Second Constance Family returned in their car. Oh, it’s time to leave work. After a short while, she

saw the Third Constance Family returning as well. In that instant, Sophia sighed in a helpless manner. William is now

with Matilda, and John isn’t coming back anytime soon. So, that means Old Mrs. Constance and I are alone in the

house. I guess I finally have a taste of what Matilda used to go through back then. Sophia continued to sit in the

garden until the 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 work tonight.” Old Mrs. Constance let out a sigh and stated, “Alas! After a few days

of short-lived liveliness, we’re back to square one once more.” Nevertheless, Sophia responded with silence,

heading to the dining table before settling down for the meal. Soon, the two ladies filled the dull atmosphere with

awkward silence as they quietly ate their meals. 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 go through them. In the end, Sophia decided to give Logan a call, hearing his nervous voice the

moment he picked up the call. It looks like Logan is in the middle of something.
