Chapter 106 - 106: I’m Coming

Once she got back, she went to Director Bull.

"Director Bull, when does the Chemistry Olympiad audition begin in our school?" Sophia asked.

Director Bull was bewildered by her question before he had time to ask about her examination.

"You are just a liberal arts student. Why do you ask that?"

"I want to attend. I'm afraid you won't tell we liberal arts classes, and it'll be troublesome if I miss it."

Director Bull was shocked.

She wanted to attend the Chemistry Olympiad. Really?

Was she kidding him? She thought she was going to hang out?

Even Kurt, a top science student, didn't dare say he did well in chemistry. She was just a liberal arts student, and they didn't even have chemistry classes.

However, in view of Sophia's contribution to represent the school in the Mathematical Olympiad Competition, Director Bull answered her question.

"The tryout will be on next Friday. There's only one exam. The one with the highest score will be in. If there's a tie, there's a tie-break." Director Bull said and took out a piece of paper from the cabinet. "Here's the printed entry form. If you want to attend the exam, just fill it out and hand in. There's no rule against liberal arts students, but... There were no liberal arts students ever signed up."

Sophia took the form. "I'll hand it in when I fill it out."

Director Bull looked at her serious expression, and suddenly, he was uncertain.

Couldn't she be serious, could she?

***

Sophia received a call from Watson at night. He said he would come back tomorrow and pick up Mitch.

Diana had sent Mitch back before. Mitch had been living at Sophia's house for the past few days and had been taken care for by Sophia to lose weight, and his figure had slowly recovered. She could not imagine whether Mitch would swell again when he was handed over to Watson.

She taught Watson how to raise Mitch and said she would refuse to return Mitch if he became fat again.

Watson agreed and asked about Diana.

Sophia didn't talk much, and she just told him that Diana had found that gentleman, and they were getting along well.

Watson was a little lost and sighed, "Well, I can only bless them."

Sophia could feel the pain of the foreigner's heart through the phone.

However, she couldn't help with it. No one could do anything about love. She could only wish him to find his true love as soon as possible.

Watson was warm and kind, and Sophia believes that he would find someone who truly loved him one day.

Sophia had thought she would see Mathematical Olympiad scores on Monday, but Director Bull told her it would take another two days to announce the results.

She wasn't worried about it. She was basically aware of her grades.

Sophia was a little surprised that she didn't see Kevin in the first class.

Ms. Acheson also asked, "Why isn't Kevin here? Did he ask anyone to ask for leave for him?"

No one answered.

Sophia had an uneasy feeling. Kevin was a good boy. How could he skip class without asking for leave?

She couldn't wait until class was over, quietly took out her cell phone, and dialed Kevin's number.

"The number you dialed is off." This sentence came out of the phone.

His phone was off.

The more Sophia thought about it, the more uneasy he got. Was there anything wrong with him?

She stood up, "Ms. Acheson. I know where he lives. I'll go and look for him. He has no family, and I'm afraid something might happen to him!"

Acheson also thought things were not normal. If it was a naughty student, she might suspect that he was skipping class to play. But Kevin... The child had never been absent from school without asking for leave.

She agreed at once and signed a leave note for Sophia. Sophia took the leave note and rode out of school to Kevin's house.

The door of the building was closed. Sophia explained the situation to the doorman, asked him to open the door, then went straight to the door of Kevin's house, and rang the doorbell.

After a long time, no one opened the door, and there was no movement in the room.

Without a key, she had to run back to the guard room and ask the doorman to pull out the latest surveillance video to see if Kevin was home.

There were many monitoring points in the residential area, including the entrance and the elevator rooms. Sophia was so anxious that her hands were shaking with the mouse.

"Here." The doorman had a sharp eye and saw it at a glance. "He went out around five o'clock yesterday afternoon!"

Sophia checked the following video but found no sign of Kevin returning.

That was to say, after leaving at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, he never came back.

He… Where would he go?

She panicked and immediately called the police.

Kevin had not been missing for a long time, but the police had analyzed the situation and decided that it was necessary to investigate this matter. Although the case was not officially filed, they still organized people to help with the investigation.

They immediately checked the nearby surveillance and found that Kevin had left the surveillance after turning in at a corner, and they could not find out where he was going.

Sophia had no idea what to do. It was the first time she came across a thing like this. Without information, the police couldn't find Kevin.

In normal times, no matter what happened to her, she could deal with it calmly. But at this point, perhaps care was chaotic, she had no idea what to do.

In her impatience, a man suddenly appeared in her mind.

Albert.

She did not know why she thought of him at this moment, but unconsciously she felt that he was a man to be trusted.

She immediately dialed Albert's number and explained everything to him. Although some of her words were incoherent due to her anxiety, she still expressed what she wanted to say.

When Albert heard this, he immediately said, "I'm coming. Wait for me."

***

Albert arrived at the police station in half an hour.

"Don't worry," Albert said, sitting next to Sophia, patting her on the back, "I've asked my friends to look for him. We will find him."

Of course, he would not tell Sophia that the whole world was looking for Kevin.

Sophia was worried all morning. Albert got a few calls, but there was no useful news.

At noon, Sophia's phone suddenly rang, and it was a strange number.

When she answered the phone, all she heard was a shrill mechanical voice on the other side of the phone, "Are you, Sophia?"

"Yes. And you are…" Sophia held her breath nervously.

"I have Kevin Green. He asked me to find you to do something for him!" Said the voice.

Then, on the phone, there was Kevin's voice. "Sister, I've been kidnapped. Do what he said.. Go to my room, find out my card and take out all the money in it," he said.
