Thinking that Sophia was upstairs, John immediately went ahead to check on her. Nonetheless, he heard Old Mrs. Constance casually saying, “Save your energy. Sophia went out.”
John paused in a trance. “What? She’s out? For what? Did she go out alone?”
Old Mrs. Constance wasn’t exactly sure what was going on, so she only said, “Sophia seemed to be leaving in a hurry, but she told me she got a call from Logan asking for help.” She then leaned on the couch and added, “Anyway, Sophia told me that she’d be fine. So, just relax.”
In that instant, John knitted his eyebrows. Logan seems to be surrounded by all kinds of trouble most of the time. How can he drag Sophia into his mess now, considering her current state?!
The next moment, he turned around and scuttled out of the living room, standing outside the main building while giving Sophia a call. The first call he made was unanswered, which unnerved him even more, urging him to make a second call.
A few moments later, Sophia finally answered her phone as her voice was accompanied by the noise in the background. Soon, John asked her where she was, to which Sophia sighed and replied, “I’m now at the police station. Logan is in some kind of trouble, so I came to bail him out.”
Stunned, John asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
While it wasn’t the right moment to talk about this, Sophia said, “I’ll tell you more later on. We’re a little busy with some procedures at the moment.”
