The city, which was not a big city before, was now like walking one hundred and eight thousand miles for Sophia. It took her a lot of effort to reach the address given by Bessie.
On the rooftop of building 18 in B District.
When she stepped into the elevator, Sophia kept murmuring to herself. Thinking that her mother might be bullied now, Sophia felt very regretful.
She and Andrew were from two different worlds. Why was she so stubborn at the beginning! And why was she so naive to get involved in this matter! If something happened to her mother, Sophia would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
The night was so quiet that Sophia felt more uneasy.
Fortunately, she arrived at the rooftop directly by elevator, and there was no need for her to find a way to climb up. To Sophia's surprise, she knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response.
Only the sound of rain outside could be heard.
With a trembling hand, Sophia opened the door. Sophia's mother was tied to a plastic chair, with wounds all over her body. What's more, she was even more embarrassed and wet after the rain shower.
In a moment of desperation, Sophia untied her mother first.
Then she took off her coat and put it on Sophia's mother. She said softly, "Mom, I'm sorry. I'm late."
Obviously, Sophia's mother was surprised to see Sophia in a wheelchair, but she didn't say anything all the time. She just thought that Sophia's mother was frightened by Bessie's people.
Just as Sophia's mother was walking out of the community with the help of Sophia, her phone suddenly rang.
It was from Bessie.
"Don't leave in a hurry, Sophia. I've fulfilled my promise to let your mother go. But what about you? Didn't you say that you would help us? "
Looking at her mother who was in a mess, Sophia frowned and gritted her teeth. "Then tell me, how should I help you?"
On the other side of the phone, Eunice smiled evilly. She was glad that the fish was hooked as she wished!
"Don't worry. I bought a ferry for your mother. You can let her take that to Canada. It's still a long way to the dock. The ship will sail in an hour. Go and see your mother off. "
Before Sophia could react, Bessie hung up the phone.
However, what Bessie did was exactly what Sophia wanted. She was really worried about her mother. She would not be relieved until she saw her mother was taken to the ferry and the boat was started.
Sophia's mother trembled with fear. Holding her hand, Sophia said in a trembling voice, "Mom, I know I'm an unfilial daughter. I've always been blaming myself for my father's death. I will try my best to protect you from any harm, but that's all I can do. They will take you to the ship later. You just go first and then I will come to you. "
Hearing what Sophia said, Sophia's mother nodded and shook her head in confusion.
At the wharf.
Sophia's mother stood still with tears in her eyes. Unwilling to leave, she held Sophia's hand tightly.
Helpless, Sophia shook off mother's hand and said, "Mom, you can leave now. I'm fine. I'll go to Canada to see you after I finish my work here. It's windy here. Be careful not to catch a cold. "
A man in black appeared in front of Sophia and said with a ferocious look, "Are you Sophia Lin? Bessie told us to escort your mother abroad. You don't need to worry about the rest. "
At that moment, Sophia still hoped that as long as Bessie could get what she wanted, she would not do anything excessive.
Seeing mother leave reluctantly, Sophia felt comfortable with every step her mother took.
It was not until the ferry was started that it was a black ship specially for the stowaways. It looked like a cargo ship, but in fact, it was used to carry passengers.
She had to praise Bessie for her flawless actions.
The ferry was getting farther and farther away from her sight until it became a black dot.
When Sophia was about to return, the two men in black who hadn't left just now stood behind her and pressed her wheelchair tightly.
"What are you doing?" Sophia snapped.
The two men in black chuckled, "Of course we have to do the job that Bessie gave us. Didn't you promise her before that you would die?"
Go to hell? Wasn't she pretending to be dead?
Sophia's heart skipped a beat.
Just before she could react, two men in black pushed her hard, and she fell into the sea in a wheelchair.
A big mouthful of bitter sea water soaked into her nose. Sophia felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she wanted to struggle deeper and deeper.
Gradually, she lost consciousness.
She didn't know when a warm arm suddenly wrapped around her. Sophia felt that her body was floating upward.
Then she was unconscious.
