Chapter 141
After seeing Perry off, Sophie got out of the hospital bed. It seemed she had twisted her ankle, as she felt a piercing pain the moment her feet touched the ground.
Colt noticed Sophie getting off the bed, his expression changing. “Ma’am, why are you out of bed?”
“I want to see James.”
“Ma’am… Colt hesitated.
Sophie, with her keen eyes, noticed that James’ room was slightly ajar, Clearly someone had entered. She moved closer and saw a flash of white entering her vision.
It was Nichole.
Colt blocked Sophie’s view and said with troubled expression, “Ma’am, you should go back and rest.”
Sophie’s eyes darkened. Nichole was here. No wonder Colt didn’t want her to visit.
“That’s fine.” Sophie turned and went back to her room.
The events of yesterday, after all, were overthought on her part. With Nichole taking care of James, there was no need for her to worry.
At that moment, Sophie’s phone rang, and it was Jenna on the other end, her voice sounding somewhat anxious. “Sophie! Why did it take you so long to answer the phone. You’ve been missing for a whole day. I’ve been messaging you and got no reply. Did something happen to you?”
Sophie glanced at the time. It was already afternoon. Normally, she and Jenna would talk for a long time every day. She’d been unconscious for so long this time, it was no wonder Jenna was worried.
“Yeah, I had a bit of an accident.” Sophie’s voice was tinged with fatigue.
“An accident? Where are you? I’m coming over right now!
Sophie hesitated, but finally gave Jenna the address of the hospital.
She leaned back on the hospital bed, pondering who might be after her life. If it wasn’t Jessica, then it had to be someone else from the Russell family.
Sophie’s head ached as she thought, massaging her temples and sorting through everyone in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, her gaze darkening.
Last night…
You just wait. I’ll get you for this. Isaac’s aggressive voice still echoed in her ears.
Sophie’s expression grew even grimmer
Was it Isaac? She couldn’t think of anyone else.
In the past, she only thought of him as a troublemaker, but to think he could also commit such a deed?
Outside, Colt brought in a cup of hot tea. Sophie asked, “is the car that was involved in the accident at the garage now?”
“Yes, it was sent to the garage this moming” Colt looked puzzled. “Ma’am, why do you ask?”
“Call the garage and ask if there was something wrong with the brake lines.”
Hearing Sophie say this, Colt immediately understood. “Alright, I’ll do it right away.”
Sophie watched Colt leave, then slowly closed her eyes.
She hoped it wasn’t Isaac. After all, he was her uncle’s only son.
Not long after, Colt retumed, his expression grave. “The garage said the brake lines were deliberately cut. Ma’am, should we investigate
this?”
Sophie’s eyes darkened. “No need, you may go.”
“Understood”
It seemed it really was Isaac.
