Chapter 65

Sophie Lawrence took out the file from the cabinet with trembling hands. Her eyes lingered on the cover of the file for a long time before she took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to open the first page. When she saw that the corners of the file were already wrinkled, an uncontrollable pain surged up from the bottom of her heart like a raging tide. Had Henry Mitchell often browsed through this file? Every time Sophie Lawrence turned a page, her heart seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, getting colder by an inch. She looked at the contents in the file in disbelief, her face as white as the first snow in winter, almost transparent.

Reason for divorce: The relationship between the two parties has broken down and they can no longer continue to live together.

Divorce date: September 19, 2018.

Looking at that divorce date, the tears that Sophie Lawrence had held back for a long time instantly welled up in her eyes and slid down the corners of her eyes. September 19th was the day when they had once announced their relationship publicly...

In the end, Sophie Lawrence didn't bring the chessboard to the Healing Chamber. She put the file back in its original place intact, and then, she didn't return to the Healing Chamber either.

Inside the Healing Chamber, seeing that Sophie Lawrence hadn't returned for a long time, Henry Sr. asked the nurse - aide to go and check the situation.

A few minutes later, the nurse - aide came back.

"The nurse at the nurse station said that Miss Sophie left directly after coming out of Dr. Harts Office,"

Henry Sr. frowned, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and dialed Sophie Lawrence's number, but in the end, he only heard the cold sentence, "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."

...

Five hours later.

After Henry Mitchell finished the operation and returned to the Healing Chamber. His eyes swept around the room, and then he asked, "Dad, where is Sophie?"

Henry Sr. shook his head and said, "I asked her to go to your office to get the chessboard. Who knew that she never came back after going there? She doesn't answer the phone either. I don't know where she has gone."

Henry Mitchell frowned, took out his mobile phone and called Sophie Lawrence, and got the same unfeeling response, "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."

"Probably she doesn't want to take care of us and simply ran away slacking off," Henry Mitchell's mother said sarcastically.

Henry Mitchell's face darkened, "Mom, Sophie is not such a person."

His mother sneered, "Not such a person? Then where do you think she has gone?"

"She turned off her phone, isn't it because she is afraid that we will call her?"

Henry Mitchell ignored his mother's words and turned around and walked out of the Healing Chamber. Returning to Dr. Harts Office, he checked the place where the chessboard was placed and found that the chessboard was still there. Still not giving up, he dialed Sophie Lawrence's number again, but still got the same response.

"Dr. Henry, a patient suddenly vomited and needs you to have a look," the nurse shouted at the door.

Henry Mitchell composed himself, "Coming right away."

...

In the evening, at Sunrise Apartments.

Ethan carefully closed the door and tiptoed towards the living room. Jason Lu handed a glass of water to Ethan and raised his chin towards the room where Ethan had come out and asked, "How is it?"

Ethan took the glass of water and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Don't worry. She has fallen asleep now."

"Brother, what happened to Sister Sophie?"

Jason Lu's eyes were cold, "It should be that Henry Mitchell has broken her heart again."

Ethan said meaningfully, "Oh." Then he added, "Brother, you can do it!"

The next day.

Sophie Lawrence woke up in an unfamiliar place. She was stunned for a moment at first, and then she remembered the encounter with Jason Lu and Ethan near the company yesterday.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Sophie sister, are you awake?" It was Ethan's voice.

"Yes, come in."

Ethan poked his head through the crack of the door, "My brother will be here soon. Lucas said he would give you a ride to the Fire Brigade Station on his way."

Half an hour later, in the car.

Jason Lu turned his head and glanced at Sophie Lawrence's state. The崩溃 (collapsed) emotion of yesterday had disappeared, and instead, there was a gentle and firm calmness. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he said faintly, "If there is anything you need help with, just let me know. I will help you."

Sophie Lawrence looked out of the window and said in a calm tone, "I want three divorce agreements, as soon as possible."
