Chapter 718


    At the Yamins'' Vi.


    Chris and the others had just stepped into the vi when Charlie and Angie followed them. The tutor


    had just left, and Chris''s two sons were sitting in the living room eating the fruits prepared by Angie.


    Every time the children finished tutoring, Angie would carefully prepare some food for the children to


    replenish their energy. Even if her heart ached to see her grandsons study so hard, she would not


    interfere with Leia''s discipline of her grandsons. The entire family approved of Leia''s education


    method.


    They would only prepare some food and buy some stuff to encourage the children after they


    finished their supplementary sses. The priority was given to Leia, and Chris''s opinion was


    secondary.

    Just as Chris had said back then, even if someone had to be kicked out of the family, it would


    definitely not be Leia.


    Now, Leia was the head of the Yamin Group. Charlie asionally went to thepany, and Leia


    had the final say in the children''s education. The family respected Leia''s thoughts. After all, there


    was no problem with Leia''s education method.


    Whether it was Angie, Charlie, or Ste, they all agreed. Ste had already taken over Charlie''s job


    and was able to take charge.


    "How is it? Is Sophia doing well?" Angie asked worriedly.


    Ste''s eyes were still red and swollen. Leia also looked like she had cried. Chris told Charlie and


    Angie what had happened. When Charlie and Angie heard that, they sighed and felt upset.


    "Charlie, if you don''t have anything to do tomorrow, let''s go and see Sophia in the morning after


    Jayden and Fynn go to school. It''s really heartbreaking. Rachel and Caleb must have felt terrible,


    and so do Trevon and Natalie."


    Fynn was still wearing the clothes he wore to school. He looked a little like Leia. He stood up.


    "Mom, can we go and see Sophia on Friday?"


    Fynn and Jayden had to revise their schoolwork on weekdays. It was alreadyte when they came


    back. If there were supplementary sses, it would be eventer.


    Jayden''s personality was a little like Chris''s. He did not talk much and was much less talkative than


    Fynn. He echoed, "Let''s go together."


    Leia thought for a moment. The children should indeed go and see Sophia. However, she needed to


    go on a business trip on Friday. "Chris, are you free on Friday?"


    Without waiting for Chris to answer, Ste offered to take the children. She knew that both Chris and


    Leia were busy. Chris was busy with surgery, while Leia had a business trip. "Leia, I''ll take them


    there. I don''t have to go on this business trip anyway."


    Since Ste took over Charlie''s job, she had gone on fewer business trips. Basically, Leia was the


    one going on business trips.


    "Alright, then you guys will go with Ste and listen to her arrangements. I''m going on a business


    trip on Friday. You can arrange your own homework. I''ll check it when Ie back."


    Jayden and Fynn nodded. They were very disciplined and did not have any objections. They did not


    refute that there was too much homework.


    When Rose and Edward returned home, Juana and Richard also asked about Sophia. They


    decided to see Sophia the following morning. They didn''t know Hackett and Sherri also nned to


    go to the Wilson''s residence the following morning.


    Before going to bed, Rose sent Sherri a message, saying, [Sherri, Edward and I have decided to let


    Harpere home tomorrow. We n to let him go to the Wilson''s residence every day to chat with


    Sophia. Didn''t Chris say talking more to Sophia would encourage her to wake up?]


    Sherri also thought the same thing. She texted, [I just left Natalie''s house. I just went to see Sophia


    with Ava and the others. We had the same n. I had already called Liam and asked him toe


    home tomorrow. Natalie had also called Olivia.]


    As soon as Sherri said this, the door of the ckwells'' Vi opened. The travel-worn Liam returned


    in the dark. Sherri had just reached the stairs when she turned to look at Liam standing at the door.


    Sherri asked in confusion, "Didn''t I ask you toe back tomorrow? Did you hear wrongly?"


    Sherri tried hard to recall the words she used on the phone. She should have notified him correctly.


    She did not tell Liam toe back today.


    Liam was carrying a small suitcase. "Mom, didn''t you say it was urgent? What happened? Did Ruby


    break up with Jasper?"


    "Pfft, can you stop saying such inauspicious things? Ruby and Jasper are very close. Ruby has


    been staying at the Wilson''s residence for the past few days. Why would they break up?"


    Hackett, who had just entered the room, came out. When he saw Liam, who had suddenly returned,


    he was puzzled. "Did youe back by cab?"


    Liam bent over and lowered his head to change his shoes. He was a miserable, unloved son. He


    had toe home by cab. "Of course. I don''t own a car."


    Hackett said, "Don''t you know your standards? Yet, you still dream of owning a car. I think walking


    quite suits you."


    Liam was not convinced. "All new drivers are bound to get their cars bumped. The more one bumps


    one''s car, the more experienced one bes."


    Hackett couldn''t help but remind him, "Our family sells real estate, not bumper cars."


    Liam was speechless.


    More than half an hour ago, Sherri called Liam after she left the Wilson''s residence. Her voice was


    choked with sobs. She only told Liam toe home and not stay on campus. Liam asked what was


    wrong, but Sherri kept crying. She cried until he panicked and called a cab toe back.


    Seeing Liam''s dumbfounded expression, Sherri and Hackett came downstairs. They pulled Liam to


    sit on the sofa and told him what had happened in the past two days.


    Liam''s face turned pale when he heard that. He no longer fooled or joked around. His mouth


    opened for a long time, but he did not say a word.


    As Sherri spoke, she started crying again. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes with


    the back of her hand and instructed, "In the future, don''t go out and wander around if you have


    nothing to do. Olivia has also been called back by Natalie. If you have nothing to do, go to the


    Wilson''s residence often to chat with Sophia. I don''t mind that you provoke Sophia into waking up


    and beating you up."


    ''As long as Sophia can wake up, it''s no big deal for Liam to be beaten up,'' Sherri thought.


    The ident came too suddenly. Even with his personality, Liam could not ept it for a moment.


    His mouth opened for a long time, but he was lost for words.


    A momentter, he picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was already past nine o''clock.


    Hackett seemed to have guessed Liam''s thoughts and said, "Forget about going today. Go


    tomorrow. Olivia will be back tomorrow, too."


    "Okay," Liam replied with mixed feelings. He was distracted and no one knew what he was thinking.


    At three o''clock in the morning, a roar sounded in the courtyard of the Wilson''s residence. After a


    while, the roar stopped, sounding especially ear-piercing in the quiet night.


    Olivia turned off the engine. With one leg straddled on the motorcycle and one foot on the ground,


    she jumped off the motorcycle in her ck Doc Martens boots. She neatly took off her helmet and


    held it in her hand. She fiddled with the ck backpack on her body.


    There was only a dim light in the vi. The curtains were tightly drawn, making it impossible to see


    what was happening inside. Olivia tucked her helmet under her arm and searched for the key in her


    pocket.


    After searching for a long time, she still could not find the key to the vi. Thinking that she must


    have forgotten to bring it, she could only take an unusual path. She bent down and was about to


    pick the lock when the door opened with a click.


    The person who opened the door was Trevon in ck pajamas. When he heard the roar, he


    guessed that it was Olivia. "Didn''t your mom ask you toe back tomorrow? Why are you back so


    late?"


    Trevon turned sideways to let Olivia in. He looked outside and saw the bodyguard in the dark nod at


    him. He closed the door.


    Olivia thought about it and felt that Natalie''s words were a little strange. Ever since she went to


    university, Natalie had never asked her to stay at home. Be it her, Sophia, or Jasper, Trevon and


    Natalie had always respected their wishes. Trevon and Natalie never forced their wishes on them


    nor forced them to do anything.


    She tossed and turned on the bed in the dormitory for a long time. In the end, she decided to go


    home and take a look. "I missed you guys, so I came back. Daddy, why aren''t you asleep yet?"


    Olivia looked up and saw Trevon''s tired eyes and the dark circles under his eyes. "Dad, do you


    have insomnia?"


    When Trevon saw the smile on Olivia''s face, he wished Sophia could also smile at him like that. It


    would be fine even if Sophia cried. Trevon''s eyes were dark, helpless, and bleak. "Olivia, I want to


    tell you something."


    Seeing Trevon''s serious expression, Olivia felt inexplicably flustered. "Dad, did something happen


    at home? Is it... Sophia?"


    The only person in the family who could have an ident was Sophia. Olivia''s first guess was


    Sophia. God knew how fast Olivia''s heart was beating when she said that.


    Since Sophia went on a mission, Olivia had prayed every day for Sopha''s safe return. As long as


    there was no bad news, it was good news. When they fought with the mercenaries back then,


    Jasper had said that Sophia would encounter these ouws who didn''t care about their lives after


    choosing that career path.


    Jasper did not say Trevon had arranged for Sophia''s protection. However, something still happened


    to Sophia. This was also why Trevon med himself.


    After a few seconds of silence, Trevon took the helmet that Olivia had forgotten to put on the shelf


    lovingly and said faintly, "Sophia is upstairs. Go and see her and talk to her."


    Olivia narrowed her eyes and looked at Trevon. She did not see the joy of Sophia''s return on


    Trevon''s face. There was only suppressed tension and sadness. Trevon looked very tired.


    Without thinking, she ran past Trevon and up the stairs. She took two steps at a time, her hand


    gripping the handrail.


    Downstairs, Trevon held the helmet he had taken from Olivia and fell silent. He did not n to follow


    her immediately. For some reason, he did not want to see Olivia cry.


    When Olivia arrived at Sophia''s door, she was a little timid. She did not dare to open Sophia''s door


    immediately. She held the door handle and paused for a while. After mentally preparing herself, she


    closed her eyes and opened the door.


    What she saw almost made her fall to the ground. Her vision was getting blurry, blurring the scene


    in the room. She couldn''t see the person lying on the bed. The first thing she saw when she stood at


    the door was not Sophia, but the cold equipment.


    She studied medicine and had a bad premonition when she saw those things. A healthy person


    wouldn''t need so many devices on her.


    Olivia''s legs felt like they were filled with lead as she struggled to move to the side of the bed.


    Olivia, who was immersed in her sadness, had no idea that Jasper was following behind her.


    Meanwhile, Jasper, who was following behind, did not stop Olivia.


    Olivia had to cry. There was nothing wrong with crying. He hoped that Olivia would release her


    emotions. He leaned against the door frame with a dark expression. He felt a little like smoking and


    was very frustrated.


    When Natalie heard themotion, she pushed open the door and came out. When she came to


    Sophia''s room, she saw Jasper leaning against the door frame with a gloomy expression and


    without saying a word. The living room downstairs was lit up. Clearly, someone was downstairs.


    Natalie saw Olivia walk to Sophia''s side with difficulty, touching the cold equipment with trembling


    hands. Olivia knelt by the bed and reached out to touch Sophia''s face. Her voice was very soft and


    choked with emotion. "Sophia, what happened to you?"


    Her voice sounded more heartbroken as she said, "Sophia, you''ve lied. You said you wouldn''t get


    hurt if you became a Special Forces soldier. You''ve lied."
