Stunned, it suddenly struck Sophia that something was amiss. The picture where she was watching TV didn’t look
like it was taken from outside the house. Judging from the angle of the picture, it was taken from the entrance to
the living room.
However, there was no way she wouldn’t have noticed it if she was on the couch and someone was taking a picture
of her from the living room entrance. The more she stared at the picture, the more terrified it made her feel.
After staring at it for a long while to no avail, she just couldn’t figure out exactly when the picture was taken.
Clutching her cell phone, she sent another text asking for the identity of the sender.
This time, the sender stopped replying, and Sophia didn’t ask again, either. She was usually calm, and all the more
she had to remain calm now that the other person wanted to cause her panic. Lying in bed again with her cell
phone in hand, she couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how she tried.
Her mind was clear and confused at the same time. There were many things she had to figure out and everything
seemed clear, but she just couldn’t understand it. Closing her eyes, she sighed. Forget it, I’ll just stop thinking about
it if I can’t figure it out. She was never a person who made things difficult for herself, and thus, she continued to
stay in bed in a half-asleep state.
When dawn came, she heard the sound of John’s car returning, and she instantly awakened. Rushing to the window,
she saw his car gradually coming to a stop in the yard, and he entered the living room in quick steps after hopping
out of it.

remarked, “You’re back.”
Taken aback and still carrying the chilly morning air with him, John stopped in his tracks at the door. “Why are you
up so early?”
“Yeah, I slept too much yesterday and couldn’t sleep at night.” With her eyes fixed on him, she asked, “Did you
manage to find out anything from the man yesterday?”
Stepping into the bathroom, he answered, “A little.”
Sophia’s eyes flashed as she caught sight of a deep red spot on his clothing, which was probably a bloodstain, and
went over to the bathroom door.
John, who wanted to take off his clothes, paused mid-air and turned toward her. “I’m taking a shower.”
Leaning against the doorframe with arms folded across her chest, she said, “Well, I’ve already seen every part of
you. Why are you embarrassed now?” The shameless way she was acting now resembled how John had been
recently.
With pursed lips, he stared fixedly at her composed face, and finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Stay in bed a little
longer. You have to rest more so that the baby will develop healthily.”
Shifting her gaze downward, it fell on the hem of his clothing. Although she had never really done anything evil
before, she wasn’t so timid that she couldn’t even bear the sight of bloodstains. After a quick glance, she then
turned and went back to bed.
After closing the door, John took off his jacket and revealed his white shirt underneath, which was covered in tiny
blood splatters. Logan was a really reckless person. Fortunately, he wasn’t the one dealing with the man from the
beginning, or else they would’ve ended up with a dead body last night.
John took off his clothes and chucked them into the bin before jumping into the shower for a thorough wash. In fact,
he was exhausted and hadn’t slept much last night.
While he was in the shower, Sophia sat on the bed and stared out the window with her cell phone in her hands.
Even when she heard the sound of John coming out of the bathroom, she didn’t look at him nor moved an inch.
With a towel draped around himself, he went through the closet and changed into his clothes as though no one was
watching.
“I have something to show you,” Sophia declared after a long while.
“Huh?” John paced over and asked, “What is it?”
Passing over her cell phone, she said, “Pictures of me. Look, how do you like them?”
