127 Sophie’s Trauma
Sophie Kane was about to leave Kyle’s private hospital ward when she got an anonymous call.
The voice of the caller was very deep, harsh, and terrifying.
The caller simply said: “your daughter is dead, her corpse just left the APB fashion company.” Afterward, the call ended leaving Sophie in a state of shock, anxiety, and panic.
She quickly left Kyle’s ward without telling him anything and dashed off in the direction of APB fashion company.
At the ti Sophie arrived at the APB fashion company, an unconscious Ariella was been rushed out and taken to the hospital.
Due to her panicked and unstable mind, she rushed towards the entrance, thereby drawing attention towards yourself.
“How may I help you, Madam?” One of the security detail by the entrance stopped and questioned her.
“M...m...ma...my daughter ca here!” Sophie said in a panicked and trembling voice. Her whole body was quivering like soone who had seen a ghost. Fright and anxiety were plastered on her face. “I... I...I...I need to s...s...see her right now!”
“Madam, you have to calm down,” the security man said in a gentle and polite tone. “Can you please follow to our office? He gestured towards the annex of the building. I’m sure we could locate her over there. Also, why don’t you give her a call? What’s her na?”
.....
“Her na is Silvia Kane,” Sophie said crying as a dark sinister cloud suddenly enveloped her. As a mother, she could feel that sothing bad has happened to her daughter. “I tried calling her on my way here but she wasn’t taking her calls.”
“Okay, did you tell you that she was coming here?”
“No, I got an anonymous call that sothing bad happened to her. I want to believe the caller was lying when he said that she died and her corpse just left this company.”
“Oh!” Realization dawned on the security officer.
He pacified Sophie and offered her a seat. Then he excused himself to make a call.
Sky had earlier instructed the security departnt to divert every call concerning security matters to him.
Hence, the security man quickly called Sky and inford him of Sophie’s presence.
Sky, who was still within the premises, briskly ca down to the security departnt and took Sophie away for so interrogation.
“Madam, I’m detective Smart!” Sky said in a deep bet gentle voice. “I would like to get so information from you about the anonymous call you received and so other things concerning your family.”
“Before you ask any question, first take to where my daughter is. I need to know that she is doing great.” Sophie spoke in a rebellious, agitated, and piqued voice. “Where is my daughter?”
“Madam!” Sky took off his dark shades, revealing his haunted eyes. His deadly look sent chills down Sophie’s spine causing her to tremble even more.
“I would advise that you cooperate with us here for your own good and that of your family. Your daughter just attempted sothing heinous and we are currently trying to unravel the mystery behind her evil intention.”
“My Silvia! Heinous! Evil intentions!” Sophie repeated Sky’s words, causing his features to stiffen and his expression to darken. “You’re talking about the wrong person. My Silvia would never hurt a fly. She is an angel! She is...”
“Enough won,” Sky suddenly had an outburst. “You are wasting my precious ti! Tell more about the anonymous caller then I will take you to see your daughter.”
“Okay, I’m sorry for wasting your ti!” Sophie said in a pleading voice. “All the caller said was: ‘your daughter is dead, her corpse just left the APB fashion company.'”
“Nothing more?” Sky wore back his dark shade but his haunted expression remained unchanged.
“No, the caller said nothing more. Now, please, can you take to my daughter?”
“Certainly!” Sky grinned evilly. “Probably when you see your daughter, you have sothing to tell . In the anti, you and your family are going to be under serious investigation for blackmail and maybe attempted murder.”
“Blackmail! Attempted murder!” Sophie’s eyes almost bulged out from shock and panic.
“Follow !” Sky totally ignored her traumatized state and walked ahead of her. He instructed one of his companions to escort Sophie to the morgue; where Silvia’s dead body was been prepped for an autopsy review, while he entered another car and drove ahead of them.
On his way to the morgue, Sky sent a brief ssage to Leon, informing him of Ella’s current state. He also stated the fact that Ella’s office and the entire building were free from any outside interference.
“Where are we going to?” Sophie questioned her escort; who had remained mute ever since the scary detective handed her over to him.
“We are going to see your daughter!” Sophie’s escort said in a piqued voice.
“Where is she exactly?” Sophie persisted with her questioning.
“You will find out when we get there.”
“Is she alright?”
“Do not ask any stupid question again!” He said between gritted teeth.
“I’m sorry! I’m just so worried!” Sophie broke down again, crying.
When they finally got to their destination, Sophie felt her heartbeat stop as she stepped out of the car. Every footstep she took scread the ssage from the anonymous caller, ‘your daughter is dead’. She slowly but steadily followed her escort as he led her past the ergency unit, different wards, and departnts, until they were finally standing before the morgue.
“Oh no! Oh no!! Silvia! Silvia!!” She started wailing as she entered the morgue.
“Madam, I can understand your pain but you have to stop screaming here.” The morgue attendant spoke in an irked but empathetic voice. Although he felt sorry for the crying woman, his day was already stressful and choked up as more dead victims of a fatal fire accident arrived in their number.
Unapologetic and unperturbed by Sophie’s traumatic state, her escort simply said, “that’s your daughter’s corpse over there. Quickly identify her and sign the necessary docunts you would be given. When you are done grieving, I’ll be waiting for you outside.”
