Carl Laurence's injuries had mostly healed by now, so Bonnie was back to her usual carefree self. Cynthia often envied her, envied how she could live so lightheartedly, as if nothing in the world could weigh her down.
But Cynthia, how could you know? Some people are simply masters at hiding their sorrow behind a smile.
The two were chatting when Cynthia's phone suddenly rang. Seeing Victoria's name on the screen, she frowned. Why would Victoria call her so late at night? Could it be that one of the children was sick?
"Senior, something terrible has happened!"
The moment Cynthia picked up, Victoria's urgent voice came through.
"Wilson… Vice President Wilson has been hurt!"
"What?"
Cynthia felt as if someone had struck her chest with a heavy blow. It became hard to breathe. Her legs went weak, and she slumped helplessly against the wall behind her.
