Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2161

Estelle said, "She's been discharged."

Before she could finish, she heard Jason's breath deepen. She chuckled and added, "Don't fret; Sophia's moved in with Old Mr. Quintin’s place. He’ll make sure she doesn't get sick like that again."

"Sophia's staying at Old Mr. Quintin's house?" Jason sounded a bit surprised.

"Yes!"

"Alright, I got it!" Jason said, and hung up the phone.

The fact that Sophia was staying with the Quintin family only heightened Jason's worries. He feared that Evelyn might spout nonsense about her.

Without hesitation, Jason hopped into his car and drove straight to the Quintin family residence.

At the Quintin's

Robin’d been keeping Sophia company upstairs when his phone buzzed. He took a glance; it was Diana.

There was nothing romantic or inappropriate between him and Diana. He’d crashed on the couch and she’d taken the bedroom the night before, without incident. They’d simply shared breakfast in the morning.

Still, he stepped out to take the call, "Diana, what's up?"

Diana's voice was frantic, "Robin, I'm at the supermarket across from the complex, and I've seen that man again. It looks like he's following me. What should I do?"

Robin frowned, "Don't worry; you're in a public place. He can't do anything to you there!"

"But I'm still scared. I don't dare go home!" Diana's voice trembled with fear.

Robin glanced towards Sophia's room and whispered, "Just wait there, I'll come to get you."

"Please hurry, Robin. I'll be waiting!"

"Okay."

After hanging up, Robin turned and went back inside, "Sophia!"

Robin replied respectfully, "I'm Sophia's boyfriend. It's what I should do. Please, Mr. Quintin, don't mention it."

"You're leaving? It's almost lunchtime. Why don't you stay and eat?" Old Mr. Quintin offered.

"I really should, but there's an emergency at my company, and I need to deal with it. I appreciate you taking care of Sophia," Robin said with a polite bow.

Old Mr. Quintin nodded with a smile, "It's good for a young man to be committed to his career. Don't worry; Sophia grew up here. This is her home."

After thanking Old Mr. Quintin, Robin bid farewell to Mr. Jarvis and hurried off.

Old Mr. Quintin mused, "What do you think of that young man?"

Old Mr. Jarvis took a sip of his tea and said calmly, "Sophia is still sick. How pressing could his business be that he must attend to it personally?"

Old Mr. Quintin pondered, "Sophia says he's started his own business and works hard. It's good for the young to be diligent."

Old Mr. Jarvis just chuckled silently, letting the conversation drop.
