Chapter 429 He Will Be Fine

After a brief pause, Sophia suddenly realized something.

A scam call!

Yes, it's a scam call!

Just last night, Alexander texted her when he returned to his hotel. There was no way he could have ended up in the Mapleton River. That was in the opposite direction!

Sophia began to calm down as she grabbed her phone and checked their WhatsApp conversation.

But the truth was, the last message with Alexander was her wishing him goodnight the previous night.

Alexander hadn't replied to her message.

Unlike now, he would always at least send an “Mhm” response. But there was nothing after her goodnight message.

Sophia felt a sudden weakness as she stared at the empty chat screen.

It took her some time to fully regain her composure.

She didn't know what had happened, and panicking now would be pointless.

Sophia closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.

Once she calmed down, she got out of bed, washed up, and changed her clothes.

As dawn broke outside, Perrin was exercising in the garden.

Lukas, who rarely woke up early, had just returned from a morning run.

Upon seeing Sophia, Perrin asked dotingly, “Why didn't you sleep in?”

Sophia shook her head with a smile. “Granddad, I have to go out for a while. I won't be able to join you for fishing today. Something happened to Alexander.”

Lukas, who was standing nearby, furrowed his brows. “What happened?”
