Chapter 22 " Are you sure ? " Monica was doubtful . William and Sophia weren't the kind to be easily fooled into going somewhere with strangers . If anything , they were the ones who did the tricking . Absolutely , I watched for a while . That guy was pretty handsome , he ... " " Which way did they go ? " Monica interrupted , sounding urgent . " They went downstairs . " " How long ago ? " " About ten minutes . " " Thanks ." Monica and Evelyn quickly took the elevator down . Evelyn tried to calm her down, saying , " Monica , relax . The kids are smart ; they won't get into trouble . Let's try calling them first . " " Oh , you're right . " Monica quickly dialed William's number . After a few rings , William answered , " Hey , Mommy . " " William , where are you ? Are you okay ? " Monica asked , her voice tense . " We're fine. Sophia and I were bored in the hospital room , so we went for a walk . We saw an old lady struggling , so we helped her home. We're heading back now , " William lied smoothly . Monica finally exhaled in relief , " You two went out without telling me ? " " Sorry , Mommy , we know it was wrong , " William apologized . " Alright , as long as you're safe . I'll wait for you at the hospital entrance . " William hung up and saw they were almost at the hospital . He told the taxi driver , " Sir , please drop us off here . " " Are you sure ? The hospital is still a bit further . " 1/4 Chapter 22 " Yes , Sir . Thanks . " William paid the fare , and he and Sophia got out . After turning a corner , they spotted Monica and Evelyn at the hospital entrance . Sophia got excited , let go of William's hand , and ran towards Monica , shouting , " Mommy ! " She had missed her mom so much . Monica bent down , and Sophia jumped into her arms . Monica picked her up and , looking at her daughter's lively face , couldn't help but scold , " Were you the one dragging William around again ? " She knew her kids too well . Her son was always the calm one , and it was usually her daughter who got them into trouble . " Mommy . " Sophia hugged her neck and acted cute . " I missed you so much. " Monica didn't notice anything odd in her words . At that moment , William walked up and apologized , " Mommy , I'm sorry for making you worry . We won't run off again . " " Good , as long as you understand . I was really worried . " Monica put her daughter down and noticed they had changed clothes , which seemed strange . " Didn't you say you helped someone home ? Why did you change clothes ? " " We passed by a store and saw something nice , so we bought it , " Sophia lied effortlessly and even twirled in front of Monica . " Mommy , don't you think it looks good ? " " It looks good , but ... " Monica still felt something was off . Plus , their personalities seemed different from a few days ago . Sophia was back to her lively self , and William was as mature and steady as ever . " Let's head back to the hospital , Mommy , " Sophia cut into Monica's thoughts . " But the nurse said you went with two men . What's up with that ? " Monica hadn't forgotten . " Two men ? They must have been mistaken , " Sophia said , trying to sound casual . " Maybe . " Since they were back and seemed fine , Monica decided to let it go . 2/4 3:36 am PPP Chapter 22 Meanwhile , Alexander had brought the other two home . Ruby was still in the living room of the Smith Villa . Nearly half an hour had passed , and the kid had not yet returned to the piano room . So she came out to ask the servants to look for the kid . Not knowing what had happened , Ruby stayed put and was surprised to see them coming in with Alexander . " Amelia , why are you coming back from outside ? " " What's going on ? " Alexander asked . Ruby explained the situation and showed Alexander the video she had recorded of Sophia earlier . After watching , Alexander was speechless and looked at Amelia . " Is this how you play the piano ? " It was clearly just noise . Amelia had a natural knack for music . Ruby , a renowned artist , had praised Amelia's musical talent . She couldn't have played so poorly . Even Daniel and Amelia were speechless at the harsh sound . " Never mind , as long as they're okay . Amelia might not be feeling well today . I'll come back next Tuesday , " Ruby said . Alexander nodded and had someone see her out . " By the way , " Ruby said as she was leaving . " Isn't Amelia unable to speak ? " " Yes , did she speak ? " Alexander looked at Amelia . " Yes , she spoke a sentence clearly . I think it's a good sign . She might get better . " " Thank you . " Ruby left . Alexander looked at Amelia and suddenly remembered when she had called him " Daddy " in the hospital while he was scolding Daniel . Feeling a bit emotional , he squatted down in front of her . " Amelia , can you say something to Daddy again ? " Amelia lowered her head and didn't say a word . Alexander waited for a long time without a response and sighed . " Alright , if you don't want to practice the 3/4 3:36 am Chapter 22 piano , you can tell Daddy . Just don't run away from home again , okay ? " Amelia nodded . " Go back to your rooms and rest . Daddy has to go to the company . " He had intended to head directly to the company from the hospital , but he had to drop off Daniel and Amelia at home first . They went upstairs to their rooms and saw that William and Sophia were gone . They felt relieved but also a bit disappointed . Daniel called William and learned that they had reunited with Monica and everything was fine . Amelia sat on the bed , hugging her stuffed toy , looking downcast . Daniel turned to her . " Are you missing Mommy ? " Amelia nodded . " Don't worry , we'll find a chance to switch back with them . " Amelia still looked unhappy . Daniel understood her meaning and asked , " Amelia , do you want to be together with Mommy , Daddy , William , and Sophia ? " Amelia nodded eagerly , her bright eyes seeming to ask Daniel if it could be realized .
