Colin kept kissing Sophia, as if her mouth was candy. She cupped his face in her hands, and slightly smiled. She said, "Haven't you been busy lately? I thought that I would better leave you alone. Even if I came, you might have been in the middle of something."
"Well, I don't think that leaving me alone is a good idea. I have to work in the office, and if you don't have anything else to do at home, you can always come to my office." He rested his big palms on her waist and stroked her back, up and down.
Sophia nodded, and said, "Well, Let's wait for a couple of more days. It's almost New Year."
Colin suddenly swept her off her feet, and carried her in his arms, but before Colin could do anything further, Sophia jumped out of his arms, and said, "Wait! Colin, you must be staving!"
He pulled her back into his arms, and whispered, "Yes, I am staving, but I want nothing but you for dinner."
Sophia's eyes flickered, and she thought about something else. "Colin, may I ask you something?"
He kissed her beautiful hair, and said, "Yes?"
"Where is Dorothy now? Is she at her house?"
Colin paused when Sophia brought up Dorothy in the discussion. He kissed her lips, and said, "Well, let's continue this later."
He then held Sophia's hand and led her out of the house.
Sophia sighed relieved, and got into the car with him. "Where are we going now?"
"Paying Dorothy a visit."
At JZ psychiatric hospital
Sophia stood at the gates of the hospital with bad thoughts. "My father, is he..."
"No. Your father and grandpa are fine, you don't need to worry about them."
"So... Why doesn't Aaron let me meet grandpa?" Without answering her, Colin held her hand and then walked into the hospital.
Colin gave her kiss on the back of her hand, and said, "Don't worry. Because Jonas is still on the run, you can meet your grandfather and father after the police catch him. It's much safer this way."
The fewer people knew about the place, the better it would be.
"Okay, " replied Sophia.
The door of an old and shabby room was then ajar. When they approached it, screams were heard coming from inside the room. "I... I'm not sick... Please... I don't need any more injections... Ah... Please... Please... Stop giving me injections, please... Ah..."
The voice sounded familiar to Sophia, and she looked inside through the crack.
There was a woman on the bed, with her hair very tousled, and two nurses holding tight on her body, restraining her. One of them was trying to give the woman an injection with a big needle.
When the woman raised her head and screamed, that was when Sophia recognized who she actually was; it was Dorothy.
Wasn't Dorothy at her house? How did she end up here?
After the injection, Colin opened the door, and placed his arm around Sophia's waist and walked into the room with her.
"Who are you?" asked one of the nurses. Dorothy had been sent here by Aaron, and the nurses had never met Colin before.
He blandly answered, "I've told Dean Zhang that I will be here. You can leave us alone now."
