"We were in contact yesterday."
Confronted by Benjamin Shaw at this moment, Sophie Snow had already forgotten Alice Turner's instructions to her, and she revealed both instances of their contact.
Benjamin Shaw had a determined look, as if he wouldn't stop until he got to the bottom of things, "Yesterday? Who contacted whom first?"
Thinking carefully now, he felt it was more likely that Alice Turner reached out to Sophie Snow. He watched Sophie Snow, waiting for her to confirm his suspicion.
"Alice contacted me," Sophie Snow answered honestly.
After receiving confirmation, Benjamin Shaw continued to probe, "Why did she want to contact you? Did she contact you just to inform you about me getting injured and hospitalized?"
It shouldn't be that simple; he had a strong feeling about it.
