Chapter 568


    Seeing that the situation was off, the robot by the side quickly sprayed a mist. When Linus breathed in


    the mist, he calmed down in an instant. The boiling blood inside of him finally cooled down. Linus stared


    at his hands that were still shivering from the excessive agitation; his eyes were filled with dismay. What


    happened? Why is this happening? Why did I suddenly lose control of my emotions? Linus had never


    lost his cool like that before.


    “Hahaha…” Phantom Wolf, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face,ughed with


    his mouth wide open; blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.


    “I didn’t expect you to make such gaffes for a woman. I thought you’re only interested in men.”


    For a while, Linus continued to stare at his trembling hands; his mind went nk. It was only after he


    suddenly thought of Sophia, who was sleeping still on the bed, that he quickly straightened himself.


    Instantly, he pulled her sweater down to cover her torso and carried her out in a hurry.


    Phantom Wolf found the entire situation interesting when he noticed the extremely nervous expression


    on Linus’ face. The cold-blooded Linus Michel can actually be so anxious! Haha! How interesting!


    Unfortunately, Sophia did not belong to him nor Linus! Once Linus carried Sophia back to the living room,


    he wrapped her in a coat and ced the cat in her arms to keep her in her earlier sleeping posture.


    Observing Sophia who was still asleep, a strange emotion rose in Linus’ heart. It was something he had


    never felt before.


    It seemed like Sophia had a dreadful dream. Two lines of tears trickled down the edges of her eyes. Her


    hands that were ced against the sofa kept on moving, and her fingers seemed to be struggling


    subconsciously. Her fingers were covered with band-aids; all of her nails were scratched and broken. It


    was apparent how frightful and defenseless she had been earlier in those few minutes.


    What is she dreaming about? Did she dream of what happened during the day again? Something inside


    Linus tore apart when he looked at her painful and anxious expression. The robot had brought the


    antidote over and he injected it in her neck. The eye of the needle was so small that it was invisible to the


    human eye. After the shot, Sophia seemed to have quietened down a little. Wiping away the tears at the


    corner of her eyes, Linus let her sleep in peace…


    In the middle of the night, Michael rushed home in a hurry. When he was told that Sophia had not been


    back after visiting Linus, he darted toward Vi No. 2. After pressing the doorbell, he entered without


    obstacles.


    Coming out from the basement in his gloves and work clothes, Linus saw Michael. In amazement, he


    said, “Michael, you’re finally here to pick up Sophia!”


    As Michael’s gaze swept across the space, he immediately found Sophia who was sleeping on the living


    room sofa. The heating system was fully turned on. She slept soundly under a nket with a cat in her


    arms; her cheeks were pink. Nichs shrank into a cylinder while he stood aside for charging. When he


    heard Michael’s voice, his limbs sprang out, activating itself automatically. “Dad, you’re back!”


    The rock in Michael’s heart finally fell. When he talked to Linus, he subconsciously lowered down his


    volume. “I’m sorry, Mr. Michel. I’m here to take Sophia home.”


    With an embarrassing smile, Linus said, “I was upgrading Nichs’ system earlier, andter found


    Sophia asleep in the living room. I couldn’t make myself wake her up.” He then asked the robot to hand a


    box to Hale who was standing next to Michael.


    “Sophia came to me today for this defensive microbot. This is all I have in stock now. The invoice is


    inside the box.”


    Speaking of that, Michael was very grateful. Perhaps this is fate. Linus had only upgraded Nichs with


    the silver needle the day before and ites in handy today! What a coincidence! Immediately, he


    thanked him, “Thank you. I’ll transfer the money to youter.” He then inquired, “What happens to people


    who have been injected with this kind of needle?”


    “The needle will enter the blood and cause great harm to the body. It must be taken out promptly,”


    answered Linus.


    It seemed like Michael wanted to ask something more, but his eyes found Sophia who was sleeping on


    the sofa. She sat up suddenly and nced at her surroundings in a daze. Was that a dream?


    Earlier, she saw Phantom Wolf approach her then she fainted. The living room was still the same; the cat


    in her arms was still the same cat from earlier and she was still lying on the sofa. However, Phantom


    Wolf was nowhere to be seen. She sat there for two seconds and saw Michael walking toward her.


    “What’s wrong, chica?” Holding Sophia’s face in his palms, he noticed her facial features were tensed.


    Fear had filled her eyes. Sophia was lost for a while before she realized that that was just a nightmare.


    She suddenly felt like she was a survivor of a disaster, feeling grateful when she saw Michael who was in


    front of her. Unable to control herself, she buried her face in Michael’s chest. “I dreamed of him just now.


    I saw him. He’sing…” She yelled and whimpered incoherently.


    Feeling like his heart was stabbed by needles, Michael whispered, “It’s okay. It’s just a nightmare. It’s


    only a nightmare…” He helped Sophia up as she held him tightly and kept crying.


    Holding her hand, Michael turned toward Linus and apologized, “My wife was frightened today. I’m sorry


    you had to see this.”


    Linus’ expression was simrly heavy as he said, “Just tell me if you need any help.”


    Michael then took Sophia away. Sitting on the sofa alone, Linus stared at the ce where Sophiay


    earlier. His mind was upied with the helpless look of her sobbing and wiping her tears away. He didn’t


    expect that she was involved in the battle between Michael and Phantom Wolf. He knew what kind of


    person Phantom Wolf was. He couldn’t imagine the pain he had caused Sophia in the past! Every time


    he thought about that, his heart couldn’t calm down. It was like something violent was hiding beneath his


    veins.


    After sitting for a long time, Linus stood up and went down to the basement. Phantom Wolf was tied to


    the working table and the medical robot was treating his injuries. When Phantom Wolf saw Linus walking


    in with a gloomy expression, he was only amused. “What? Are you angry that I hurt your little darling?”


    Without saying a word, Linus held up a remote control that appeared out of nowhere. With a light press,


    Phantom Wolf noticed a hot wave in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw the ce where the bomb was


    installed suddenly give off a burst of light and a warm current flowed along his blood vessels throughout


    his entire body. The current rushed into his nerves and an unbearable pain filled his body in an instant.

    “Argh—” After a sudden scream of pain, Phantom Wolf couldn’t help but start trembling. He curled


    himself up as he shivered until the pain subsided after half a minute.


    Sitting by the working table, Linus looked at him emotionlessly. He stared at Phantom Wolf as he howled,


    spasmed, and trembled in pain. “You… You set me up!”
