"Don't worry, father. I'm fine!" Sophia embraced her father firmly, feeling ecstatic that Jay was sober enough to recognize her.
Jay patted his daughter on the back. When he saw his daughter earlier, he suppressed his emotions.
Colin deliberately drove the car around several times. According to Jay and Aaron, somebody wanted Jay dead now that he was getting better.
"Father, can you tell me who murdered mother? Who did those awful things to you?" Sophia couldn't help herself. She had been yearning a long time for the truth.
Jay stopped talking and let out a deep sigh. "Sophia, you need to forget all this. It will get you killed."
"What? Father, I don't understand." Sophia stared at her father in horror. How could searching for the truth get her killed?
Jay patted his daughter's hand and decided to swallow the truth. "Sophia, just live your best life with Colin. I will be satisfied knowing you and your brother are healthy and happy."
...
Sophia didn't understand why her father refused to tell her the long-anticipated truth.
Later, Colin had a private meeting with Dr. Charlie. Since then, Jay's condition was getting worse and he had frequent delirious episodes.
Since people found out about Jay's improving health, assassins were sent to kill him. Jay knew this because Aaron inadvertently caught some people loitering outside the ward. When he suddenly woke up one night, he found someone holding a dagger over Jay's heart.
Knowing his life was in danger alerted Jay to the gravity of the situation. For his safety, he had to pretend to be insane.
Later that Evening.
Sophia was overcome with worry. She couldn't figure out how the truth would put her life in danger.
Colin returned from the study and found Sophia in a daze. He sat beside her and gathered her in his arms. "I checked the surveillance video in the hospital. Some suspicious men have been loitering around. But we couldn't identify them because they were wearing hats that obscured their faces."
Additionally, all the previous videos have disappeared. Someone had tampered with it intentionally.
Sophia looked at Colin nervously. "I'm worried about my family's safety."
"Don't worry. I'll have some professionals watch over their safety." Colin patted her shoulder in comfort.
Sophia wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you, Colin."
If it wasn't for Colin, she wouldn't know what to do.
"No need to thank me." Colin gave Sophia a disapproving look.
Sophia chuckled and kissed Colin, who immediately pressed her onto the bed and kissed her passionately.
But he still had important things to tell her. He held her in his arms and said, "Sophia, we've found some clues about the investigation."
Gasping for breath, Sophia suddenly got up and stared at him intently. "What have you found out?"
Colin gathered her in his arms again. "It's a tricky situation."
"I'm prepared for whatever news you have!" Sophia had been looking forward to any clue that could lead to the murderer. She was anxious to hear what Colin had to say.
Colin relayed the information that Wade had reported. "There might be more than one murderer. Two, or possibly three."
