Matilda hummed while listening to Isabelle’s complaints. “Take it slow. You’ll do fine after you get used
to the workload.”
Smiling, Isabelle agreed, “Yeah, so I’d like to come up with a standard procedure as soon as possible,
which could hopefully help ease things.”
After a while, Matilda said, “Well, I suppose you should work on that. Since I don’t really have anything
of importance, I’ll end the call here.”
Upon getting Isabelle’s consent, she hung up. Matilda was frowning as she did because Isabelle didn’t
sound much different from her usual self, so the incident might have nothing to do with her after all.
She then turned around to hail a cab by the road.
Her feelings toward Isabelle were complicated, to say the least. Although she didn’t hate Isabelle, she
was extremely disappointed in the latter for using her despite how she treated Isabelle as her own
daughter. I shouldn’t have done all those things for her. What a waste of effort.
On the other hand, she still harbored a dislike toward Sophia, but it didn’t mean she hated the child she
carried, as the child was John’s child and her grandchild. The fact that she would soon become a
grandmother came as quite a shock, which made her feel older all of a sudden. Heaving a sigh, she left
on the cab.
In the meantime, Sophia managed to fall asleep after spending hours tossing and turning in bed.
However, neither were her dreams a peaceful escape, as she dreamed of her being chased by
someone while holding her child in her hands. All she could think of was to run as fast as her legs could
carry her so that she could leave the place, but the formless being behind her remained in hot pursuit.
Sophia was drenched in her own sweat due to anxiety and fear.
The dream went on until she woke up the coming morning. Upon opening her eyes, she could feel the
sticky sensation on her skin. Aside from that, she was tired out, as if having physically ran laps during
her sleep despite it being a dream. She propped herself up to look out of the window. The weather was
pleasant enough with loads of sunshine, which seemed to help dissipate the depressing feelings left by
the dream. Getting out of bed, she took a deep breath to pump herself up.
At this time, John was cooking in the kitchen. As if having unlocked a talent within him, he could
already present her with a lot of the more common dishes. Walking up to him, Sophia greeted him a
good morning.
In fact, John hardly slept a wink last night, but he seemed alright. “Breakfast is almost ready. I’ll drive
you to your shop once we’re done eating.” He checked the time then. “I will be paying that man a visit
later on. After an entire night’s interrogation, I suppose he should already have confessed.”
Upon hearing what John said, Sophia nodded. “Remember to update me on the outcome.”
Cheerfully, John hummed in agreement. “Worry not. I’ll make sure you’re the first to know.”
Soon, John was done cooking, and upon having finished their meal, John sent Sophia to her shop
before driving away. Sophia seemed to be in better spirits compared to the past few days. Noticing that
John drove Sophia to work, Robin smacked her lips in mock envy. “He sure is nice to you.”
Sophia went over and lent her a hand with the task she was on. “What’s the matter? Is your boyfriend
not treating you well?”
Averting her gaze, Robin mumbled, “I suppose he isn’t half bad.” There was a pause before she
repeated herself, “In fact, he’s great, so I should be satisfied.”
Sophia didn’t comment on it as she busied herself with work.
Meanwhile, John made his way to a warehouse owned by his company that was located in the
suburbs. The warehouse was empty as the company found no use of it, having fallen into disrepair. It
was located on a huge plot of empty land, and because it was vacant, only a single person was
stationed to watch over the place, who was transferred to another warehouse last night.
