GoodReadChapter 1564
Sonia wanted to give Maxwell a piece of her mind.
But when she opened her mouth to speak, her throat was so dry that she couldn't even make a sound.
She cleared her throat while Maxwell kept chattering about celebrating her recovery with a salary increase and
how her work had been recently.
Sonia was not in the mood to listen, so she ignored him.
She tried to move her fingers, and she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist and abdomen.
Her legs were numb.
Moreover, her body felt so heavy that she couldn't move at all.
What was happening?
Sonia panicked at once.
She was so anxious that her heart raced.
Was she paralyzed? Was she disabled?
But hadn't she only been shot in the abdomen? Why couldn't she feel anything in her lower body?

She tried to speak, but she could only let out a whimper.
She felt so scared that she couldn’t help crying.
When Maxwell saw Sonia crying, he was concerned and confused at the stime.
He thought he had made her cry, so he hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean to upset you about work.
| only want to let you know that we really can’t do it without you.
Sonia was fuming inside.
She wanted to yell at him, but she still couldnt find her voice.
She was already terrified, but he was still talking about work.
Didn't he know the gravity of her situation? If she was disabled, how could she still do her job?
Sonia cried even harder.
Maxwell becmore flustered.
He could no longer speak coherently.
He could only pace back and forth in front of Sonia’s hospital bed, not knowing what to do.
At that moment, Sarah and Aziel entered the ward.
As soon as she saw Sonia crying, Sarah hurried over and asked anxiously, “What's wrong? Are you in pain?”
Still, Sonia couldn’t say a word.
Sarah quickly handed her a glass of warm water.
Sonia took a sip and finally managed to say, “Am | crippled? Why can’t | feel my legs?” 2
Sarah couldn't help but feel resigned by Sonia's concern.
She said, “No need to worry, Sonia.
Your legs are fine.
Your grogginess is simply due to prolonged rest after surgery.
The medications and anesthetics used were for pain relief.
We just conducted an emergency check, and the drugs are still in your system, causing temporary numbness.
Sarah's explanation eased Sonia’s mind, clearing her thoughts.
But then, Sonia suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, “Wait, you mentioned I've been here a
while.

What about Ariana? Have you found her? She's alive, isn’t she?”
The room’s atmosphere tensed immediately.
Everyone exchanged grave glances and shook their heads.
Sarah sighed heavily before replying, “Holden’s team is actively searching for Ariana.
They suspect Zayden’s people might have taken her to Conata.
“Conata? The place is too dangerous!” Sonia’s voice spiked with panic.
Noticing Sonia’s distress, Sarah swiftly attempted to comfort her.
“Hey, Sonia, take a deep breath.
The Fredrick family is giving their all to locate Ariana.
Let’s keep a positive outlook.
We're all looking for her.
Remember, good things happen to good people, right? You just focus on getting better here.
I'll bring Melon to cvisit you soon.
“Melon’s fine, right?” Sonia inquired, her concern lingering.
