After staying for less than an hour, Marvin received a call and left in a hurry.
When Sophina returned from buying lunch and realized that Marvin had already left, she revealed a disappointed expression. It was obvious that she did not want Marvin to leave. Or maybe she was afraid of something.
I went to the sink to wash my eyes and looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing hospital clothes and a plain face.
Although I did not look haggard, there was no color on my face. I looked malnourished. Marvin was right. I had to take good care of my body.
Nothing was insurmountable. No matter who was gone, the world would have to carry on. If I fell, it would only make those people hiding in the shadows gloat.
Moreover, according to Alfie's tone, Alex's car accident was not as simple as an ordinary car accident.
To be able to destroy the school bus and cause a terrorist attack that forced Alex to risk his life to save someone, the person behind the scenes must not be simple.
The other party knew Alex very well and knew where his weakness was.
If the car in danger was not a school bus, he might not have gone to save it.
This was because, years ago, Alex had been kidnapped and knew how terrifying children in danger would be.
Actually, what he saved wasn't the car full of children, but himself, who had been kidnapped by the robbers back then.
I even felt that someone had deliberately planned Javier's accident.
Someone was already making a move on the people around me. Or rather, they had actually begun to make a move ever since my mother's death. Only now did I realize what was going on.
"Laurel, are you okay?" Sophina saw me coming out of the washroom and thought that I was feeling unwell. She looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head. Perhaps it was because the child in my stomach pitied me so much that after the lunch, I didn't vomit at all. I even had a good appetite.
"Laurel, why did Mr. Adams suddenly leave?" Sophina could not help but ask. His tone was filled with reluctance.
I stared at Sophina and asked with a smile, "Do you like him?"
Sophina's face instantly turned red. She quickly shook her head. "No, Laurel, I don't like Mr. Adams. Really... I'll be sad if I fall in love with a handsome man. Moreover, I can tell that he has someone he likes."
I was stunned for a moment before my lips curled into a faint smile. I asked bluntly, "Do you think he likes me?"
Sophina hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Laurel, I used to think that Mr. Adams was the most suitable person for you."
"And now?" I looked at Sophina with interest.
Actually, I was a little surprised. After all, as someone who was obsessed with looks, I felt that she would be dating a handsome man.
Her reasoning was strange. I didn't think she would have to be sad while dating a handsome man.
In reality, the more unattractive a man was, the more inexplicably competitive he was. He wanted to highlight his personal charm and attract more women.
A man who dabbled in women's affairs was not determined by his appearance. It could only be said that beautiful men with good conditions would indeed attract the attention and love of others.
Sophina raised her eyes and looked at me. "Since Mr. Herrera risked his life to save you, I feel that he really cares about you. Moreover, after this incident, I feel that I have misunderstood him. In fact, he is a cold person on the outside but warm on the inside. No one would die for someone unrelated."
After saying that, she pursed her lips. Her eyes were a little red, and her voice was a little hoarse. "He is such a good person. God will definitely let him live."
I nodded, feeling as if someone had pulled hard at my heart.
Sophina was right. Alex should still care about me. If it was just a promise to my mother, he wouldn't have pounced on me without any hesitation at a dangerous moment.
Moreover, nothing would really happen if he didn't keep his promise. After all, there were many people who did not keep their promises.
"Don't go out to buy anything for the time being. Marvin will arrange for someone to send food over every day." I immediately changed the topic.
Marvin was afraid that someone would harm me, so he had to be on guard at all times.
"Why?" Sophina was slightly stunned. Then, she looked around nervously. "Laurel, are you afraid that someone will poison you?"
Sophina frowned and thought about it seriously. "Laurel, I'll eat first in the future. If anything happens, the hospital can save me in time."
Hearing her words, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You're right." I told her about Javier.
When she heard this, she was about to explode with anger. "I thought my parents were already shameless enough. I didn't expect there to be someone even more shameless. They can't pay them no matter what. Otherwise, this family will definitely cling unto them in the future."
I nodded in agreement. Actually, one million dollars was neither too much nor too little. However, it wasn't Javier's fault.
After hearing Sophina's words, I had an idea. When we encountered such a shameless family, we naturally had to find someone more shameless to deal with them.
After my discussion with Sophina, she thought about it seriously and asked in confusion, "Laurel, are you sure you want to give my parents 30 thousand dollars? It doesn't cost that much."
"I'll give you 10 thousand in advance. I'll give you the rest after this is done. Can you ask your parents if they're willing to do it?"
Without thinking, Sophina finally said, "Don't worry, my parents are the best at arguing."
Half an hour later, Sophina told her parents about this.
When they heard that they could get a reward of 30 thousand dollarsyuan, the other party did not hesitate at all. After all, that was worth their annual income.
I immediately transferred 10 thousand dollars to Sophina.
"Laurel, I'll give them 3,000 dollars first, in case they don't do a good job for you when the time comes." Sophina cleared her throat and smiled. "It's their bad luck to meet my parents. Maybe my parents can take the opportunity to ask for more money."
I smiled but didn't say anything. Sometimes, dealing with violence with violence was out of necessity.
As for Bonnie's illness, I hesitated for a while before picking up my phone and searching for a familiar number. Then, I dialed it. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
Just as I was about to hang up, a man's cold and indifferent voice came from the phone. "Laurel, I didn't expect you to still have my number..."
