Sulking, John stood to step on the man’s ribs. “Who sent you here?”
Standing beside him, Sophia turned to look at John in shock. “Did somebody send him?”
As if not hearing John’s question, the man was still huffing in pain while lying on the ground, clutching
onto his elbow with a tortured look on his face. John’s kick came in unanticipated, so the man must’ve
tried to brace the impact out of reflex by using his elbow. When his elbow hit the ground, it produced a
tiny, crisp noise, which was followed by excruciating pain.
However, it was none of John’s concern as he continued to apply pressure onto the man’s ribs. “Who’s
behind you?”
A crowd was starting to gather around them, with the people whispering among themselves in
confusion. John ran his tongue over his teeth while he sniggered. “I have other ways to extract
information from you, so your silence isn’t going to help.”
Holding onto the man’s phone, John made a call from his own phone. The crowd dispersed upon
seeing that the incident was nothing out of the ordinary, as they assumed John was calling either the
police or an ambulance. On the other hand, the man’s elbow was hurting so much that he couldn’t even
retaliate.
Meanwhile, Sophia stood aside while leaning against a lamp post, her heart racing. Even though she
was panicking, her mind was still clear. If she wasn’t pregnant, the fall would only serve to topple and
bruise her, so it didn’t make sense that someone would hire the man to hurt her, which meant that the
mastermind had something else in mind while doing that.
A miscarriage might be what the mastermind was aiming for since she was pregnant, which meant
someone probably knew she was pregnant but didn’t wish for the child to be born. The first person that
came to mind was Matilda, as she knew Sophia was pregnant, and seemingly had a motive to want to
harm her.
However, upon recalling her reaction earlier, Sophia didn’t think Matilda would wish her harm, as
Matilda wished for the child to be born. What upset her was that the child would be a Gwendolyn, as
she seemed to want a grandchild for the Constances. Before she left, Matilda even muttered to herself
about becoming a grandmother.
From what she could see, Sophia didn’t think Matilda would actually hire someone to hurt her.
However, neither did she have another suspect in mind. She didn’t even tell Robin about her
pregnancy, whereas Fabian, who knew about it, would never wish her harm. The situation left her mind
addled, as she didn’t know anybody else who might be a suspect, nor did she ever offend any
strangers. Glancing at the man on the ground who seemed to be in much pain, Sophia surmised that
they wouldn’t be getting any answers soon.
Taking a deep breath, she realized her stomach wasn’t feeling good after all the tension. It didn’t take
long for a car to pull over, from which sprung out a few men. She assumed back then that John gave
Zack a call, but that didn’t seem to be the case, as she knew none of the men.
As soon as the men arrived on the scene, John retracted his leg before waving dismissively. “Take him
away.” Without even putting up a fight, the man was carried away into the car. Meanwhile, John held
Sophia in his arms. “You must be frightened.”
Sophia clutched onto the hem of his shirt while humming in response. “I want to go home.”
