Edmond found Adrien’s ward, and Erin followed, exchanging polite words.
Then, pretending to go to the restroom, Erin went downstairs and returned to Sonia’s ward.
Sonia asked the nurse to step back into the living room and closed the door to her ward.
“Sit,” she said to Erin. “Who were you visiting?”
“Adrien Ryker,” Erin said, “he got injured.”
Sonia was not in the mood to look at her phone and was unaware of the car accident today.
She didn’t ask anything further and simply said, “Thank you for coming to see me.”
“I didn’t know Ms. Steiner was here,” Erin said awkwardly. “So I didn’t bring anything and came empty-handed. I was just worried when I saw Ms. Steiner earlier, and I couldn’t wait to buy a gift for the next time I come.”
“No need to be polite with me,” Sonia said. “I don’t lack anything, and giving gifts is just a formality. It’s not meaningful.”
“How did Ms. Steiner injure her leg?” Erin asked. “It looks like a serious injury.”
“I raced with Emmeline,” Sonia’s voice turned somber. “Who would have thought we would have an accident?”
“And racing against Emmeline?” Erin said, “You’ve got some guts. That woman is skilled whether it’s in cars or motorcycles, even professional drivers might not be able to match her!”
She recalled the last time when she and Alana tried to cause a car accident for Emmeline, but she managed to avoid it.
If that incident had happened when Emmeline was just an ordinary person, she would have long gone without a trace.
Sonia lowered her dark lashes and said, “Now I understand. That woman is cunning. When I saw her practicing driving that time, she only revealed about seventy to eighty percent of her abilities. I underestimated her.”
“Why did you have to race with Emmeline when everything was fine?” Erin said. “You two must have had a reason, not just for fun, right?”
Sonia explained the whole story to her.
“Hmph!” Erin sneered. “Emmeline must have gotten really bold to force you to leave Struyria. Who does she think she is?”
“But I signed and made a deal with her,” Sonia said. “If I lost, I would have to leave, or else where could I hide my face? It’s just that I couldn’t bear to leave Abel, so that’s why…”
“Ms. Steiner,” Erin said, “I had a secret here, and if I were to reveal it, I couldn’t say who between you and Emmeline would have left Struyria!”
“Oh?” Sonia raised her eyes, their gleam bright, “What secret, Ms. Erin? You must tell me quickly.”
“I can tell Ms. Steiner,” Erin said, “but I also need Ms. Steiner to promise me one thing.”
“You may speak,” Sonia said, “I dislike owing favors to others.”
Erin glanced around and said, “Right now, I don’t have any specific things to ask Ms. Steiner. However, I just wanted Ms. Steiner to remember that if I ever have a critical situation and seek your help, please remember to assist me.”
“Okay,” Sonia nodded without hesitation. “As long as it’s under Struyria’s jurisdiction, there isn’t anything that can trouble me.”
“That’s terrific,” Erin said. “Let me tell you.”
She moved her chair forward and whispered something in Sonia’s ear for a while.
Eventually, Sonia revealed a sinister smile. “This news is great. I don’t believe Emmeline can’t be brought down!”
“Well,” Erin said with a hint of satisfaction, “I hope Ms. Steiner can use this situation to turn the tables!”
“I will find the most suitable opportunity,” Sonia sneered, “just wait to hear my good news!”
Erin left Adrien’s ward and sneaked into the elevator.
Behind them, Abel’s phone rang, and he came out holding his phone.
Without waiting for the call, Erin suddenly entered the elevator.
Abel furrowed his brow, wasn’t that woman supposed to go to the restroom?
The restroom is on a different floor.
But how did she get into the elevator?
As the elevator doors closed, Abel saw Erin press the button for the next floor.
What was on the next floor?
The next floor was also a VIP ward.
One of the rooms was occupied by Sonia.
Sonia?
Abel declined the call and instructed the bodyguard to investigate.
The bodyguard took another elevator down to the next floor and indeed saw Erin entering Sonia’s room.
The bodyguard returned and informed Abel about the situation.
Abel’s brow furrowed.
Erin, are you actually in contact with Sonia?
