Chapter 654

Matilda shot Sophia a glare. “I am worried about my son! No thanks to you, but what if he got injured?”

Although she seemed as malignant as ever, Sophia couldn’t help but huff a laugh. She’s always like
this. Tough on the outside, but feeble on the inside.

Meanwhile, John got another call, so he left the room. Pondering on the situation, Matilda closed the
door before approaching Sophia. “Are you really alright? Do you need to do a checkup? You don’t
seem alright to me.”

Sophia knew going to the hospital was out of the question. Otherwise, John would know she was
pregnant, so she shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m feeling better now.”

Heaving a sigh, Matilda went on, “You should stay at home at night. There are all kinds of people out
there, and even if none were there to get you, you might still get hurt if someone carelessly bumped
into you.” Without realizing it, Matilda was nagging at Sophia again.

Sophia was looking closely at her, not exactly used to how the latter was behaving. “It’s getting late, so
you should get some rest. Everything is settled on my end, so I would like to sleep now.”

Matilda caught herself nagging before standing up. “Okay, you should go to bed. I will be checking up
with John.” Slightly abashed, she turned to leave, whereas Sophia lay down after switching off the
lights. However, the puzzling situation was disturbing, so she had a hard time falling asleep.

When Matilda got out of the room, John was leaning against the wall while talking on his phone, a grim
look on his face. After spending some time waiting beside him, John finally got off the phone. It wasn’t
until then that Matilda said, “She’s asleep now, so let’s talk downstairs.”



With a nod, John followed her downstairs. As soon as they settled down, Matilda questioned with a
frown, “Are you sure that man did it on purpose? Might it be an accident, or perhaps he wasn’t paying
attention to his surroundings?”

Shaking his head, John answered, “Although I know nothing of their purpose, the man must be a hired
thug. Just take a look at his phone.”

John handed the phone to Matilda, and displayed on the screen was a message that was sent after the
incident. It consisted of a curt message that wrote: ‘Is it done?’ It was as out of the blue as it was fishy,
being sent using the number that made the last call on the call log. John already had someone
investigate the owner of the number.

Matilda spent some time staring at the message before putting on a morose expression. “This sure
seems to indicate that someone is behind this.”

Taking the phone from her, John toyed with it while muttering, “However, it’s odd that the culprit would
commit such a felony, as there is no point whatsoever in doing so.”

After a moment’s pause, a sophisticated look crossed Matilda’s face. While it might be pointless to do
so in the past, the situation was different now that Sophia was pregnant. The realization left Matilda
feeling even worse, as nobody should’ve known about Sophia’s pregnancy since she had been
keeping it a secret. To go as far as assaulting Sophia, Matilda wondered if the culprit had a grudge
against Sophia. She told John after mulling over the situation, “Keep your guard up while you’re here. I
will be leaving now that it’s getting late.”



John didn’t think much about it and nodded. “Be careful on your way home.”

With a hum, Matilda turned to leave. Upon stepping out of the premises, she whipped out her phone
while walking on to give Isabelle a call. It took some time for the latter to pick up, and her voice
sounded tired. “Hello, Ms. Matilda.”

Matilda hummed in response before asking, “Are you busy?”

Humming in the affirmative, Isabelle explained, “I’m working overtime as the workload is heavy. Do you
need something?”

Matilda laughed before replying to her, “Not really. Just figured I should check on you since it has been
a while since we last met.”

With a sigh, Isabelle grumbled, “Oh, I have been working too much as of late. Work keeps piling up, so
I’m still in the office, and it’s killing me.”
