Lucas looked at the scene before him, his heart sinking
He was about to ask more before Mrs. Martha came running out carrying Ethan.
“Mani… Sir, Ethan and Liam are throwing up honstop!”
They passed out
Lucas felt his heart plummet as he watched his two sons, who had been running around that afternoort, now barely alive being rushed into the operating room.
“Lucas, please don’t be mad…”
“I didn’t do it on purpose–I don’t know what happened. They just ate dinner and suddenly got like this.”
For the first time, Lucas felt absolutely livid with Sophia, suppressing his rage.
“Sophia, what did you feed them?”
Sophia looked guilty.
“Nothing special, just the dinner I made…”
But Lucas stared at her intently and repeated his question.
“What exactly did you give them to eat?!”
Sophia trembled all over, trying to act cute.
“You know I can’t cook at all.”
“But they were hungry, so I just ordered some takeout…”
Lucas said nothing more, but his heart grew colder by the minute.
Until both sons were wheeled out of the ER, he didn’t say another word to Sophia.
In the hospital room, all three boys lay in bed, their faces deathly pale.
Lucas sat quietly.
Then his phone suddenly rang.
“Lucas, the hospital elevator broke down!”
“I’m trapped inside–please come save me!”
Sophia’s voice was choked with sobs.
Lucas shot up from his chair so fast it scraped loudly against the floor.
Without thinking about anything else, he rushed/out of the room.
He knew Sophia had developed claustrophobia from what happened years ago.
Racing through the halls, Lucas burst into the hospital administrator’s office.
“Dr. Johnson, get someone to fix that elevator right now!”
Dr. Johnson broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Lucas had come personally.
“Mr. Stone, why did you come here yourself?”
Coffin
4.3%
We already have people working on repairing the elevator a
After he finished speaking, his hady trembling as he led Lucas to the scurity room.
Mr. Stone, normally when there’s an elevator accident, the cameras can’t see inside.”
But our elevators have been modified–we can see what’s happening. Please take a look, which one is the person you’re looking for?
After Dr. Johnson finished speaking, he quickly had the security guard move aside.
But Lucas just stood there frozen.
He stared intently at the elevator surveillance footage.
Sophia, who was supposed to have claustrophobia, looked completely annoyed.
She pulled out a mirror and carefully checked her makeup.
There wasn’t a trace of the panic someone with claustrophobia should be showing.
Suddenly, Lucas thought of me.
How I was afraid of the dark, terrified of small spaces.
And how I had suffered and been terrified when they locked me in that coffin.
His hands clenched into fists, veins bulging.
Without staying in the security room any longer, he quickly walked back to the hospital room.
Liam had already woken up, and when he saw Lucas come in, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Dad, Aunt Sophia was on a video call with Grandma in the kitchen today.”
“She said Giselle was dead, so that secret from back then would never get out.”
“What secret is she talking about?”
After mumbling this, Liam suddenly started crying.
“Dad, I suddenly miss Giselle so much.”
“Can we let her out of the coffin…”
“She promised to take me to learn racing–I won’t call her names anymore. Pleasr bring her back!”
The innocent words made Lucas’s chest tighten painfully.
With trembling hands, he opened the kitchen surveillance from home.
He heard every word of Sophia’s smug conversation in the kitchen.
His phone dropped to the floor, his eyes growing wet.
Just then, the hospital room door was pushed open.
I was wheeled in by a nurse.
