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 couldnt 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 couldnt 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 hadnt she only been shot in the abdomen? Why couldnt she feel anything in her lower body?
Sonias panic grew. She tried to speak, but she could only let out a whimper.
She felt so scared that she couldnt help crying.
When Maxwell saw Sonia crying, he was concerned and confused at the same time. He thought he had made her cry, so he hurriedly said, I didnt mean to upset you about work. I only want to let you know that we really cant 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. Didnt he know the gravity of her situation? If she was disabled, how could she still do her job?
Sonia cried even harder.
Maxwell became more flustered. He could no longer speak coherently. He could only pace back and forth in front of Sonias 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, Whats wrong? Are you in pain?

Still, Sonia couldnt say a word. Sarah quickly handed her a glass of warm water. Sonia took a sip and finally managed to say, Am I crippled? Why cant I feel my legs? 2
Sarah couldnt help but feel resigned by Sonias 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.
Sarahs explanation eased Sonias mind, clearing her thoughts.
But then, Sonia suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, Wait, you mentioned Ive been here a while. What about Ariana? Have you found her? Shes alive, isnt she?
The rooms atmosphere tensed immediately. Everyone exchanged grave glances and shook their heads.
Sarah sighed heavily before replying, Holdens team is actively searching for Ariana. They suspect Zaydens people might have taken her to Conata.
Conata? The place is too dangerous! Sonias voice spiked with panic.
Noticing Sonias distress, Sarah swiftly attempted to comfort her. Hey, Sonia, take a deep breath. The Fredrick family is giving their all to locate Ariana. Lets keep a positive outlook. Were all looking for her. Remember, good things happen to good people, right? You just focus on getting better here. Ill bring Melon to come visit you soon.
Melons fine, right? Sonia inquired, her concern lingering.
