The world seemed to hit on its ass. The voice continued, but Sofia barely registered the words, her mind reeling with the chilling announcement Helicopter crash missing critical condition

Sofia felt as it a cold bucket of water had been poured inside her soul, the world around her seemed to narrow. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision. Grief sharp and unexpected, slammed into her like a physical blow, stealing the air from her lungs. Her carefully constructed facade from the meeting crumbled, leaving behind a raw vulnerability

“Miss Miss Amores immediately asked when she noticed her reaction.

Just as the call ended, she received another call. This time, it was from Alexander.

I will see you at the hospital,” he told her when she said that she already knew about the accident. Traveling from the company to the hospital took at least forty minutes and, to Sofia, this felt like forever.

The moment she arrived at the hospital, she immediately went to the emergency room where she saw Alexander along with Josef. Unable to stop herself, she crumbled into his arms. In the car, Sofia did not have the chance to show her emotions She forced herself to calm down to think, to analyze the situation.

Sofia nodded, shaking the doctor’s hand. “Dr. Lee

“Shall we talk privately?” the Doctor glanced at Alexander. Sofia godded but she did not let go of Alexander’s hand.

“He’s my husband,” Sofia said. The Doctor simply nodded in response. Dr. Lee then led them to a small, quiet room off the main corridor. His face was etched with concern as he spoke, his voice gentle yet firm. “Ms. Lockhart, Funderstand this is an

“Where did it happen?” Soña asked. She knew that her grandmother had been traveling a lot, but she did not have any specifics of where she was All she knew was she left the US a few days after her birthday.

She had been busy as everything had been chaotic lately, but they had been calling and testing each other. Their relationship had gone from zero to texting each other every single day.

Sofia leaned into Alexander’s embrace as she looked at the doctor with tear-filled eyes. “Can we see her?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Dr. Lee nodded gently. “Of course. We’ll take you to her room after the forty-eight-hour observation period. However, please be prepared. The sight may be difficult..

Sofia nodded. She knew that her grandmother was hiding a lot of things from her.

Sofia nodded without saying another word. Her grandmother told her that she was investigating the death of Sofia’s grandfather, but aside from that, she refused to give Sofia any details whatsoever. The woman had simply too many secrets, Sofia didn’t know where to start
