Sophia watched as the bleeding man staring at her in disbelief fell down.
A couple rushed in to find the man bleeding on the floor. Screaming in horror, they hurriedly called the police.
It wasn't long before the police came, along with an ambulance. In a blank daze, Sophia was taken to the police station.
Blood... There was blood everywhere. Did she... Kill someone?
After being detained in the police station for two hours, Sophia was taken to the interrogation room by a policeman.
Entering into the familiar room, Sophia turned pale.
"What's your name?" Since Sophia was taken out of the red light district, she was believed to be one of the prostitutes working there, so the policeman interrogated her terribly.
Sophia answered blankly, "Sophia Lo."
What? The policeman cast a puzzled look at her. Why was the name so familiar?
He didn't think too much about it. "How long have you been working there?"
Sophia shook her head. "I was there to look for someone."
The policeman slammed his pen on the table. "This is a police station. You'd better tell me the truth!"
"I was really looking for someone. I hit him with the lamp in self-defense!"
"What's your occupation? Where do you work? Where do you live?"
...
To get home early and see his wife, Colin ended dinner earlier.
But when he came home, an empty room was waiting for him. When he tried to call Sophia, her phone was turned off.
At around 9 in the evening.
With a frown on his face, Colin smoked one cigarette after another. He kept calling Sophia, but he still couldn't reach her.
At that moment, Wade called. "What?"
Wade told Colin everything the police had told him.
Sophia was in the police station?
Colin hurriedly took his coat, rushing towards the location Wade mentioned.
It was 10:00pm when he saw Sophia again.
Huddling up against the corner of the temporary detention room, Sophia was looking down and drawing circles on the ground.
She was praying for the man and hoped he wouldn't die, when a shadow suddenly loomed in front of her.
The first thing she saw was the pair of expensive new black leather shoes, the neat suit pants, the white shirt without a tie, and the suit jacket.
The familiar face gazed down at her with a somber look.
Standing up quickly, she threw herself at him. "Colin..." She choked down the tears as she held onto Colin.
To Sophia, Colin seemed like a Prince Charming riding on his white horse, finally coming for her. It was like her favorite person had come on rainbow-colored clouds to meet her. No, seeing Colin made her feel a lot more excited than any of the images that came to mind.
Colin was angry at Sophia, but his temper diminished at her affectionate hug.
Without waiting for him to speak, Sophia raised herself on her tiptoes and kissed him.
His anger shrank even more.
Colin picked her up and walked out of the room carrying her in his arms.
