Chapter 1390
“Liberty.”
Serenity was at a town near her hometown, checking on the progress of her project when she picked up the call.
Thinking that it was her sister, Serenity said hello with a smile.
Zachary also dialed Serenity’s number while on his way to the hospital, but Sonny was one step ahead of him. His call did not go through.
“Aunt Ser…”
Sonny burst out crying at the sound of his aunt’s voice.
Serenity tried to calm her nephew down. “What’s the matter, Sonny? Why are you crying? Was the lesson tiring? Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Sonny is a man, and men don’t cry. Don’t cry, Sonny. I’ll take you to the supermarket later. I’ll get you whatever you want.”
“Aunt Ser, Mom was bleeding. There was a lot of blood… Come back, Aunt Ser. Mom’s about to die Wahhh!”
Sonny’s voice trailed on and off amid the wailing.
On the other end of the line, Serenity was in shock. The phone fell right out of her hand.
Next to Serenity, Elisa bent over to pick up the phone.
Serenity managed to grab the phone and yelled at her nephew on the other end. “What did you say, Sonny? Can you make it clear? What happened to your mom? Sonny! Sonny! Say something, Sonny!”
All Sonny did was cry.
Hank immediately took over the phone and said, “Serenity, it’s bad. Someone tried to kidnap. Sonny again. Your sister was stabbed while protecting Sonny. She’s in the emergency room right now. Where are you? Come back now. What if your sister… You might be able to see her one last time.”
Serenity’s phone crashed onto the floor once more. She felt a shiver under her skin, and then the world turned upside down. She could barely stand up.
“Seren.”
“What’s the matter, Seren?”
Jasmine and Elisa quickly helped her up.
“My sister…”
No words could go past Serenity’s lips.
“What happened to your sister?” Elisa asked, concerned and anxious.
“Go… Go! Go back!”
