Chapter 41 Time Bomb
That being said, she still felt a lot of insecurity in her heart. After all, Sophia was Gabriel's biological mother, and if he were to know about what happened back then, would he still say that he wouldn't like Sophia?
Sophia was like a time bomb. As long as she stayed in City B, she couldn't find peace.
...
Sophia went to Vincent's place to pick up the two little troublemakers and planned to have dinner at his place. Ethan and Emma were filled with grievances about their mommy leaving them.
Sophia vigorously ruffled the hair of the two kids.
"Mummy didn't do it on purpose. Tomorrow, mummy will personally take you to your training class."
Only then did the two little ones show a smile towards their mommy.
After dinner, Vincent was originally going to drive them home, but a phone call from the hospital came in, so he had to rush back. He looked apologetically at Sophia.
Sophia smiled understandingly. "Dr. Xiao, you should go, saving lives is more important. What you're doing now is a great act of virtue."
In response to Sophia's teasing, Vincent shyly scratched his head.
"I'll see you off to the car."
"Okay."
Vincent personally escorted them to the car and watched it drive away, his heart filled to the brim.
When will Sophia be able to live with her children directly at his place?
That way, they wouldn't have to face parting anymore.
It seemed like he needed to make confessing his feelings a priority.
The corners of Vincent's mouth curled up. He was already handsome to begin with, but when he smiled, it was as warm as a spring breeze.
After arriving home, Sophia urged the two kids to take a bath, while she sat on the sofa, holding her phone and playing with it.
Today, she wasn't able to take a picture with Sam, which made her feel quite regretful.
But she also gained a lot. She held her son's hand and he didn't reject her, and she even managed to hug and not scare him. Moreover, he accepted the gold bracelet.
That gold bracelet was a family heirloom of their Kelly family. It originally belonged to one person, but since she had three children, she had two more custom-made, one for each of them.
While checking her messages, Sophia noticed three unread messages on WeChat. She opened them and saw the three characters "Qin Shi Wen," which reminded her of the person who saved her that day.
She still owed him a meal.
She had been thinking about Sam all this time and had forgotten about it.
Since she had time tomorrow, she decided to make the invitation.
Sophia opened the conversation and saw the message sent by Qin Shi Wen.
"Sophia, what are you doing?"
"Sophia, why didn't you reply to my message?"
"Sophia~"
Sophia's whole body shivered, causing goosebumps to cover her skin.
Seeing these three messages, she inexplicably remembered the scene when Jake Hughes called her sister. The little milk puppy was very obedient, and the voice of Scarlett was beautiful, magnetic, and not at all cloying.
Sophia: "I still owe you a meal. Are you free tomorrow?"
Jake Hughes had been keeping an eye on the phone, waiting for this moment to immediately reply to Sophia's message.
"I'm sorry, sister. I'm still in Country M. I'll let you know when I come back."
The day after parting with Sophia, Jake Hughes urgently returned to Country M and was busy until today when he finally had the time to send Sophia a message.
Sophia: "Okay, tell me when you come back."
Jake Hughes: "Okay, sister."
It seems that he can't say anything without adding "sister" at the end.
Sophia put down her phone and went to check if the two little darlings had obediently taken a bath.
The next day, Sunday, Sophia sent the two little ones to their training class and sat there bored, having nothing to do.
She wondered what interests and hobbies Sam had. She really missed Sam.
At this moment, Sam had already returned to the old house and was painting in his studio.
Once Gabriel found out about his love for painting, he specially arranged a room for his son to use as a studio. The walls in there were covered with Sam's paintings.
At first glance, these paintings were full of childishness, but upon closer inspection, one would sense a feeling of loneliness emanating from each one, making it hard to suppress the urge to shed tears.
Sam had an extraordinary talent for painting. Gabriel even hired a famous artist to teach him. However, no matter how the artist instructed, Sam could not paint a happy picture. Later, due to Sam's illness, even the artist couldn't teach Sam anymore.
Sam calmly continued his depiction, and today he was sketching.
The outline was already there, and as he portrayed the facial features, it was revealed that Sam was drawing Sophia.
He stayed in the studio all afternoon until Aunt Liu came to call him for dinner. He carefully covered up the painting.
He had to hide this painting well and not let anyone discover it!
...
Because Gabriel squeezed out some time yesterday to accompany Sam and see Sophia, he was particularly busy today. He ended up sleeping at the company that night, and the next day, Alex came in.
"Boss, we managed to restore the footage from the kindergarten. We found an expert online and thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, he fixed it in no time." Alex was a bit excited. He had been worried about this matter, even losing a few strands of hair over it. They initially thought there was no hope and ended up trying IT Director Liu's suggestion to offer a reward online. They didn't expect it would work out.
"Send it to me," Gabriel said with an imposing tone.
Alex quickly transferred the video to Gabriel's computer and said seriously, "Director Liu told me that the internet user who helped fix it is a top-notch hacker, even more skilled than Kboy."
Kboy was already a very skilled top hacker. He was recruited by Gabriel to Lancaster two years ago, but this person seemed to be even more skilled.
What kind of concept was that?
While Gabriel watched the video, he said, "Have Director Liu contact him and tell him that if he can be recruited, I will double his bonus for six months."
He would not allow a repeat of the incident where their computers were hacked. If their current personnel and skills were not enough, he would continue to recruit more talent.
"Yes!" Alex wanted to laugh. Director Liu was such a penny-pincher, but now he had the chance to show off in the past couple of days because of the opportunity for a half-year bonus.
Gabriel's expression suddenly darkened when he saw Sam being pushed to the ground in the video.
"Then, a cold chill suddenly emanated from her body, and Alex felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
"I will immediately contact the kindergarten and have them expel the person," Alex said.
Gabriel raised his hand to stop him. He didn't want Alex to do anything in haste. Instead, he continued to watch until Tiffany took Sam away, with Sophia trailing behind. It seemed that they had a bit of a friction.
Gabriel pursed his thin lips, his deep eyes sinking like a deep, pitch-black abyss, causing an endless sense of panic in anyone who looked at them.
The contours of his handsome face were tense, and his prominent hands were placed on the mouse.
He remembered that Tiffany had gone to the kindergarten early that day to pick up Sam, but in the video, everyone had already left, leaving only Sam and another child without anyone to pick them up.
On the contrary, it was Sophia who rushed forward to protect Sam when she saw him being bullied, even getting into a quarrel with the other parent.
The video had no sound, Scarlett, but the image was clear, and the recording scope was wide. Even Sophia's eager desire to go inside, despite being initially stopped, was captured."
