Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 718

At the Yamins' Villa.

Chris and the others had just stepped into the villa when Charlie and Angie followed them. The tutor had just left, and Chris's two sons were sitting in the living room eating the fruits prepared by Angie.

Every time the children finished tutoring, Angie would carefully prepare some food for the children to replenish their energy. Even if her heart ached to see her grandsons study so hard, she would not interfere with Leia's discipline of her grandsons. The entire family approved of Leia's education method.

They would only prepare some food and buy some stuff to encourage the children after they finished their supplementary classes. The priority was given to Leia, and Chris's opinion was secondary.

Just as Chris had said back then, even if someone had to be kicked out of the family, it would definitely not be Leia.

Now, Leia was the head of the Yamin Group. Charlie occasionally went to the company, and Leia had the final say in the children's education. The family respected Leia's thoughts. After all, there was no problem with Leia's education method.

Whether it was Angie, Charlie, or Stella, they all agreed. Stella had already taken over Charlie's job and was able to take charge.

"How is it? Is Sophia doing well?" Angie asked worriedly.

Stella's eyes were still red and swollen. Leia also looked like she had cried. Chris told Charlie and Angie what had happened. When Charlie and Angie heard that, they sighed and felt upset.

"Charlie, if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, let's go and see Sophia in the morning after Jayden and Fynn go to school. It's really heartbreaking. Rachel and Caleb must have felt terrible, and so do Trevon and Natalie."

Fynn was still wearing the clothes he wore to school. He looked a little like Leia. He stood up. "Mom, can we go and see Sophia on Friday?"

Fynn and Jayden had to revise their schoolwork on weekdays. It was already late when they came back. If there were supplementary classes, it would be even later.

Jayden's personality was a little like Chris's. He did not talk much and was much less talkative than Fynn. He echoed, "Let's go together."

Leia thought for a moment. The children should indeed go and see Sophia. However, she needed to go on a business trip on Friday. "Chris, are you free on Friday?"

Without waiting for Chris to answer, Stella offered to take the children. She knew that both Chris and Leia were busy. Chris was busy with surgery, while Leia had a business trip. "Leia, I'll take them there. I don't have to go on this business trip anyway."

Since Stella took over Charlie's job, she had gone on fewer business trips. Basically, Leia was the one going on business trips.

"Alright, then you guys will go with Stella and listen to her arrangements. I'm going on a business trip on Friday. You can arrange your own homework. I'll check it when I come back."

Jayden and Fynn nodded. They were very disciplined and did not have any objections. They did not refute that there was too much homework.

When Rose and Edward returned home, Juana and Richard also asked about Sophia. They decided to see Sophia the following morning. They didn't know Hackett and Sherri also planned to go to the Wilson's residence the following morning.

Before going to bed, Rose sent Sherri a message, saying, [Sherri, Edward and I have decided to let Harper come home tomorrow. We plan to let him go to the Wilson's residence every day to chat with Sophia. Didn't Chris say talking more to Sophia would encourage her to wake up?]

Sherri also thought the same thing. She texted, [I just left Natalie's house. I just went to see Sophia with Ava and the others. We had the same plan. I had already called Liam and asked him to come home tomorrow. Natalie had also called Olivia.]

As soon as Sherri said this, the door of the Blackwells' Villa opened. The travel-worn Liam returned in the dark. Sherri had just reached the stairs when she turned to look at Liam standing at the door. Sherri asked in confusion, "Didn't I ask you to come back tomorrow? Did you hear wrongly?"

Sherri tried hard to recall the words she used on the phone. She should have notified him correctly. She did not tell Liam to come back today.

Liam was carrying a small suitcase. "Mom, didn't you say it was urgent? What happened? Did Ruby break up with Jasper?"

"Pfft, can you stop saying such inauspicious things? Ruby and Jasper are very close. Ruby has been staying at the Wilson's residence for the past few days. Why would they break up?"

Hackett, who had just entered the room, came out. When he saw Liam, who had suddenly returned, he was puzzled. "Did you come back by cab?"

Liam bent over and lowered his head to change his shoes. He was a miserable, unloved son. He had to come home by cab. "Of course. I don't own a car."

Hackett said, "Don't you know your standards? Yet, you still dream of owning a car. I think walking quite suits you."

Liam was not convinced. "All new drivers are bound to get their cars bumped. The more one bumps one's car, the more experienced one becomes."

Hackett couldn't help but remind him, "Our family sells real estate, not bumper cars."

Liam was speechless.

More than half an hour ago, Sherri called Liam after she left the Wilson's residence. Her voice was choked with sobs. She only told Liam to come home and not stay on campus. Liam asked what was wrong, but Sherri kept crying. She cried until he panicked and called a cab to come back.

Seeing Trevon's serious expression, Olivia felt inexplicably flustered. "Dad, did something happen at home? Is it... Sophia?"

The only person in the family who could have an accident was Sophia. Olivia's first guess was Sophia. God knew how fast Olivia's heart was beating when she said that.

Since Sophia went on a mission, Olivia had prayed every day for Sopha's safe return. As long as there was no bad news, it was good news. When they fought with the mercenaries back then, Jasper had said that Sophia would encounter these outlaws who didn't care about their lives after choosing that career path.

Jasper did not say Trevon had arranged for Sophia's protection. However, something still happened to Sophia. This was also why Trevon blamed himself.

After a few seconds of silence, Trevon took the helmet that Olivia had forgotten to put on the shelf lovingly and said faintly, "Sophia is upstairs. Go and see her and talk to her."

Olivia narrowed her eyes and looked at Trevon. She did not see the joy of Sophia's return on Trevon's face. There was only suppressed tension and sadness. Trevon looked very tired.

Without thinking, she ran past Trevon and up the stairs. She took two steps at a time, her hand gripping the handrail.

Downstairs, Trevon held the helmet he had taken from Olivia and fell silent. He did not plan to follow her immediately. For some reason, he did not want to see Olivia cry.

When Olivia arrived at Sophia's door, she was a little timid. She did not dare to open Sophia's door immediately. She held the door handle and paused for a while. After mentally preparing herself, she closed her eyes and opened the door.

What she saw almost made her fall to the ground. Her vision was getting blurry, blurring the scene in the room. She couldn't see the person lying on the bed. The first thing she saw when she stood at the door was not Sophia, but the cold equipment.

She studied medicine and had a bad premonition when she saw those things. A healthy person wouldn't need so many devices on her.

Olivia's legs felt like they were filled with lead as she struggled to move to the side of the bed. Olivia, who was immersed in her sadness, had no idea that Jasper was following behind her. Meanwhile, Jasper, who was following behind, did not stop Olivia.

Olivia had to cry. There was nothing wrong with crying. He hoped that Olivia would release her emotions. He leaned against the door frame with a dark expression. He felt a little like smoking and was very frustrated.

When Natalie heard the commotion, she pushed open the door and came out. When she came to Sophia's room, she saw Jasper leaning against the door frame with a gloomy expression and without saying a word. The living room downstairs was lit up. Clearly, someone was downstairs.

Natalie saw Olivia walk to Sophia's side with difficulty, touching the cold equipment with trembling hands. Olivia knelt by the bed and reached out to touch Sophia's face. Her voice was very soft and choked with emotion. "Sophia, what happened to you?"

Her voice sounded more heartbroken as she said, "Sophia, you've lied. You said you wouldn't get hurt if you became a Special Forces soldier. You've lied."
