Before they left the suite, Edmund peeked through the peephole to make sure no
one was in the corridor before turning and nodding at Lucas.
It was only then Lucas opened the door and he and Corinne walked out.
Alas, the thing he feared the most happened nonetheless.
At that moment, Sophia's door opened too, and she was wheeling Jeremy out
while saying, “Zachary, I know you're bored with being cooped up in the hotel all
day long, but I really have my hands full with Dad’s business. So I can’t take you
out that often nor do I feel comfortable letting other people do it. But what I can
do is take you to the garden in the hotel for some fresh air, and I promise I'll take
you and Benjamin to travel round the world after everything is settled here.”
Corinne’s face immediately froze when she saw the man in the wheelchair. “It's
him!" she thought with fury.
Lucas quickly pulled Corinne back into the suite and slammed the door shut. He
did it so fast that neither Sophia nor Jeremy saw anything. All Sophia heard was
the sound of the door shutting, but when she looked up, she only saw a tightly
shut door.
“Zachary, did you hear somebody coming out of the suite opposite ours just
now?” she asked with confusion.
Jeremy looked at the door and shook his head. “No.”
Sophia assumed she was just imagining things. “That's weird. I could’ve sworn I
heard somebody closing the door. I even felt the whoosh of wind...”
“It's got nothing to do with us. Let's go.”
The doubt vanished from Sophia's face. She shook her head to clear her mind
and said, “Okay. Benjamin, help Mommy close the door. Let's go take Daddy out
for a stroll.”
Meanwhile, in the other suite, Lucas was holding Corinne tightly with one hand
over her mouth to stop her from rushing out or making a sound. The worst that
could happen then was having an all-out confrontation with Sophia.
Corinne’s eyes reddened with anger. She bit down hard on Lucas’ hand.
As much as it hurt him, he still did not let go.
Sunny did not see anything outside, so he did not know what happened. “What's
going on, Lucas?” he asked curiously.
Lucas threw him a warning glare to make him shut up.
A chill ran up Sunny’s spine and he dared not ask any more questions.
Lucas only let Corinne go after making sure Sophia and Jeremy had gotten into
the lift.
