Sophie Lawrence stood up slowly and said, "I'm going to sleep at Mom's place today." After that, she walked straight towards the door. Until the sound of the door closing came, Henry Mitchell still hadn't moved a step.
Mrs. Sang was startled when she saw Sophie Lawrence coming back suddenly at night. She quickly asked, "Did you have an argument with Henry?" Sophie Lawrence didn't want her mother to worry, so she casually made up an excuse: "I was afraid of waking him up if I went back too late, so I wanted to keep you company." Mrs. Sang looked at her daughter suspiciously: "Really no argument?" Sophie Lawrence shook her mother's arm like she did when she was a child, acting coquettishly: "Really not. Just relax."
After coaxing Mrs. Sang back to her room, the forced - ease on Sophie Lawrence's face disappeared instantly. She silently went back to her bedroom before getting married.
The next day, when Sophie Lawrence got up, Mrs. Sang had already prepared breakfast. Mrs. Sang neatly arranged the tableware and called to Sophie Lawrence: "Finish your breakfast before going to the Fire Brigade Station." Sophie Lawrence pulled out a chair and sat down, saying contentedly, "It feels so good to be home." Mrs. Sang gave her an annoyed look: "I think you just want to be lazy." Sophie Lawrence smiled with her eyes: "With Mom around, of course I can be lazy." Mrs. Sang gently tapped Sophie Lawrence on the forehead and also sat down at the table. Although the breakfast for the mother and daughter was simple, they both felt extremely happy.
...
Not long after Sophie Lawrence arrived at the Fire Brigade Station, the alarm bell in the hall suddenly rang shrilly. Without hesitation, she quickly threw herself into the intense rescue work, fulfilling her duties as a fire captain.
For a long time after that, Sophie Lawrence lived a two - point - one - line life between Mrs. Sang's home and the Fire Brigade Station every day. Mrs. He also didn't come to talk to her about the divorce. Sophie Lawrence didn't know whether it was because of what Henry Mitchell had said or for other reasons. Under Mrs. Sang's questioning, Sophie Lawrence confessed that she and Henry Mitchell were getting divorced. After knowing this, Mrs. Sang just said that Sophie Lawrence should think it through clearly by herself and didn't ask any more questions.
Time flew by, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. It had been raining continuously for three days in Sunnyville, and there was still no sign of the rain stopping.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on this day, a red rainstorm warning was issued in the news, advising citizens not to go out and run around aimlessly if they had nothing to do. But it was a working day, and many citizens were at work. By the peak hours of getting off work at four or five o'clock, the phones in all the Fire Brigade Stations in the city were almost ringing off the hook. The rain kept falling, and the water level had risen to the height of an adult's thigh.
By seven or eight o'clock in the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, there were more and more car accidents and incidents caused by the rainstorm. The walkie - talkie in front of Sophie Lawrence kept receiving voices from the control room: "There are multiple - car pile - ups on Northville Avenue, and three injured people are stuck in the cockpits..." After making sure that there were no accidents in the area she was currently searching, Sophie Lawrence immediately rushed towards Northville Avenue.
When she arrived, there were already two team members conducting rescue operations on the scene. Sophie Lawrence hurriedly ran towards the last vehicle, completely not noticing the license plate number in front of the car that was all too familiar. The front door of the car was locked tightly and couldn't be opened at all. Sophie Lawrence immediately took out tools from her body and carefully smashed the glass window. When the window glass was broken and she saw clearly the person in the driver's seat, Sophie Lawrence's heart trembled violently. It was Henry Mitchell.
