Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 480

Chapter 480 Claudius Was Not Lying

In the middle of May, Sophia suddenly received a call from Rose.

However, it turned out to be Rose's secretary, Madeline, on the line.

Madeline informed Sophia that Rose had gone into cardiac arrest the night before but was subsequently revived after the doctors provided her with emergency treatment. Nonetheless, the doctors declared that her condition was critical.

When Rose was still conscious, she had instructed Madeline to request Sophia's presence in Lusterg in the event she was on her deathbed.

"Ms. Yarrow, Mdm. Lenoir mentioned that Mr. Claudius is her last living blood relative. Even though he has lost his memory and probably doesn't feel anything toward her now, she doesn't want him to remember the fact that he had to face her death alone when he recovers his memory one day. Since you are Mr. Claudius' significant other and will be the person who is the closest to him in the future, Mdm. Lenoir wants you by his side during this trying period. She hopes that you would agree on the account that she's his mother."

The secretary's words came as a surprise to Sophia.

When Rose met Sophia the other day, the former talked about Claudius in an unsentimental tone, as if he was nothing but a promising heir to her.

The attitude she displayed was devoid of any motherly warmth.

However, Sophia realized now that Rose did love Claudius. She just didn't want her motherly love to burden him, knowing that death would soon come for her.

Given that they never interacted for the first thirty-four years of his life, she didn't want to weigh him down emotionally in his thirty-fifth year.

"All right, Ms. Zobek. I'll head over right away."

"I appreciate it, Ms. Yarrow."

"I should be the one saying that."

With no time to lose, Sophia instructed Felix to book her the fastest flight to Lusterg.

"Do you need me to go with you, Ms. Yarrow?"

Sophia shook her head. "Percy will probably make his move soon, so you'll need to stay here and keep an eye on him. If there's an emergency, you should discuss it with Yvonne and deal with it immediately. Otherwise, wait for my return if it isn't urgent."

At that moment, Felix recalled the troublesome timebomb that remained within Odyssey. "All right, Ms. Yarrow. I'll send you to the airport."

"Thank you."

After signing the two documents in hand and returning them to Felix, Sophia grabbed her jacket and strode out of the office.

During the journey to the airport, she sent Claudius a message: I'm taking the three o'clock flight to Lusterg.

Claudius was probably busy and didn't reply.

Without bringing much luggage, Sophia picked up her ticket and passed through the security check with her passport in hand.

Once she did so, she could hear the boarding announcement for her flight.

It was then that her phone began to vibrate.

Expecting it to be Claudius, she furrowed her brows when she saw that it was Katherine on the line.

"What is it?"

"I'm wrapping up work tomorrow and will be back in Jadeborough the day after. Are you free, President Yarrow? I would like to treat you to a meal."

Sophia chuckled in resignation. "Rose's condition has taken a turn for the worse. I'm at the airport now, flying out to Lusterg."

"That's so sudden. In that case, take care and call me when you're back. I have a surprise to share with you!"

When Sophia recalled Katherine's so-called "surprises" in the past, she quipped, "I hope you're not going to give me another shock."
