Logan’s attention was totally fixed on the Morgans. According to his accounts, Sally was still being detained, which meant she might very well be left with a criminal record. The injured girl was already discharged, but she refused to reconcile with Sally as she wasn’t about to let Sally off the hook. Logan thought the girl did a brilliant job, and that Sally finally found herself an even match.
However, Sophia was no longer interested in other people’s affairs, as all she could think of was what to do with the baby she carried. To tell, or not to tell, that is the question, and a freaking hard one at that. Besides, where should I go if I were to hide the fact that I’m pregnant from him?
They stayed there until evening, with Logan planning to send Sophia home, only to see John driving toward them when they were closing the shop. Glancing at Sophia, Logan asked, “Has he been the one driving you home these days?”
Without giving him a reply, Sophia watched John get out of the car. He came over to stand beside her before greeting Logan, “You sure have a lot of time to spare today.”
Logan let out a hum. “I always have much time to spare. Are you going to her house? Are you planning to have dinner over there?” Seeing that John didn’t refute him, Logan nodded. “I haven’t yet decided on where to have dinner, so why don’t we dine together? That sounds like a great idea.”
On the other hand, Sophia wasn’t sure what was so great about it. Before they could leave though, another car pulled over, while someone called out to John after stepping out of the car, who revealed herself to be none other than Matilda. Arching her brow, Sophia figured that Matilda had been trying to make her presence known to her. While John greeted Matilda, the latter cast a glance at Sophia before asking, “Are you all heading to her place?”
Logan took the liberty to answer that question. “Yeah, would you like to come have dinner with us, Ms. Matilda? The more the merrier.”
Judging from Matilda’s personality, Sophia assumed that she would turn down his offer, but to her surprise, she nodded without hesitation. “Sure, since I haven’t had dinner anyway.”
Squinting her eyes, Sophia watched Matilda closely, confused by the latter’s reactions. Matilda used to hate everything related to Sophia, so it didn’t make sense that she would actively approach Sophia. However, Logan didn’t seem to notice the oddity as he went ahead to usher everybody into the car.
Upon casting Sophia a glance, Matilda said, “I’ll hitch a ride in Logan’s car.”
Does that mean she doesn’t want to be in the same car as me? That’s just brilliant! Sophia thought before hopping into John’s car. The two cars left the site after they were ready. Throughout their journey, both Sophia and John remained silent, while Sophia seemed a little sickly and tired. John turned to check on her a couple of times, but she continued to lean against the window while looking out of it, her face devoid of expression.
There were some ingredients in stock in the fridge, so they went straight back home. With both Logan and John present, Sophia figured she wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to cook, so she went upstairs to get a change of clothes before sitting down on her bed. After pondering on her circumstances for some time, she retrieved the report and stared at the image produced by the B-scan.
In the meantime, Matilda was feeling sorry for John, all the while assuming that Sophia was being a little too demanding toward John. Look at her, leaving all the work to the two men while she went straight up to get rested. Matilda wasn’t too happy about it, so she went upstairs after giving the situation some thought.
The door to Sophia’s room was open, so Matilda entered right away, but Sophia wasn’t in the room. It wasn’t until then Matilda noticed that the door to the bathroom was closed, while sounds could be heard coming from within. She tried to call out to Sophia, but nothing came of it. Upon noticing the items spread out on her bed, Matilda went over to check on it.
As soon as she stepped out from the bathroom, Sophia saw Matilda standing in her room. There was a moment’s pause before panic kicked in when she saw what Matilda was holding. In a few strides, she rushed over to snatch the report from Matilda while snapping, “Why did you barge into my room?”
