On the other end, Sophia Pembroke clearly picked up on Mila's annoyed tone- and was that disgust, too? After a few seconds of chilly silence, Sophia finally spoke, her voice sharp and accusing.

"Is there a reason you're calling?" Mila didn't want to answer her question.

"What do you mean by that?" Sophia's tone turned even colder. "You slice someone's neck and this is your attitude? My son and I landed in the hospital because of your son. We're both seriously injured, yet you don't even bother to show up at the hospital to sort things out or give us an explanation. What now, are you trying to run away? Or should we just take this to court?"

Court, court-always threatening with court!

Seriously injured and in the hospital?

Pity you didn't cut your own throat all the way through.

Mila seethed inwardly. Of course, she'd never say that out loud; if she had actually finished the job, she wouldn't be standing here at her son's school, answering the phone-she'd be in an orange jumpsuit, talking through a glass partition. What a nightmare.

Why couldn't all these lunatics just stay far away from her life?

"I'll come by later." Whatever her personal feelings, Mila knew she had to show up at the hospital. Even if she didn't care about Sophia's insufferable brat, she couldn't just leave Julian Pembroke to rot-regardless of the fact that it wasn't her child who'd pushed him.
