Why it never ends

Chapter 1101 Inspection

The day after the call to Sophie, a medical van rolled into the "farm of many women."

Victoria and Lai Lin went to the door to pick someone up. At first, when Sophie got out of the car, Victoria frowned slightly - she felt that the woman in front of her had a very familiar temperament. She was almost sure that she must have seen this person somewhere, but...

"Miss Victoria!" Sophie raised her hand and greeted Victoria as soon as she saw her.

It was not until this moment that Victoria finally matched the face in front of her with the name in her memory.

"...Sophie?" Victoria looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief, "Sophie!"

"It's me!" Sophie held up her waist, a cheerful smile on her face. "I guessed it was you when you called me. You're working together again this time, you and... Jane!"

Victoria still half opened her mouth, and walked to Sophie with a little surprise. In her memory, Sophie was still a sixteen-year-old girl, who was a little reserved when dealing with people, as if she was always worried about whether her words would offend others.

But now, she looks taller and stronger than she did a few years ago. The shyness that was always hidden in her smile is gone, replaced by a kind of calmness that looks tougher and more open.

"...No wonder I never heard from you again," Victoria realized belatedly, "So you came to District 12. You've changed so much!"

Sophie laughed again, and this time she became a little embarrassed, but she still looked Victoria in the eyes.

Victoria introduced Sophie to Lai Lin at a very fast pace, and then got on the medical vehicle with Lai Lin to guide them.

"You will meet many familiar faces on this trip," Victoria said, "Zoe, Ende...all of us are here."

Sophie was stunned when she heard this: "All of you are here..."

"Yes," said Victoria, "because—"

She hadn't finished her words when she realized that this incident had another meaning for Sophie.

"…Because we have some new missions." Victoria whispered.

“It’s here again,” Sophie’s voice turned serious. “Is it?”

Victoria didn't answer, but she didn't deny it either, but this silence was enough to answer Sophie's question.

Sophie's throat moved several times continuously, and she adjusted her breathing with difficulty: "...Is it going well?"

"It's just the beginning," Victoria said.

"…Are you sure it's the same person?"

Victoria glanced at Sophie, her eyes had become moist, but her voice was firm.

"Not sure, Sophie." Victoria looked away. "Maybe it was just a copycat crime." Sophie took a deep breath, turned her face to the other side, and quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"Yes, it was very popular in District 3 back then, so it's only natural that someone from District 12 would want to take advantage of the situation..." Sophie exhaled heavily, "Come on, don't let this kind of person succeed again this time."

The medical vehicle stopped at the main house. At this moment, many people were setting up sheds behind the house. Seven huts had already taken shape. Lai Lin asked everyone to line up in the open space in front of the house. The nurses on the medical vehicle began to register information for each person, including their name, height, weight, age... and then began to draw blood. Since there were so many tests to be done, each person had to draw three tubes. Several of them had very thin blood vessels, so the medical staff really spent a lot of effort.

"You said on the phone yesterday that you suspected that many of these people might be pregnant. I brought you some extra pregnancy test strips." Sophie took out a medicine box. "You don't need to test all the people who had their blood drawn today. I can tell you their answers right away. These things are for-"

"If there's anyone else who needs it in the future, yeah."

"Well, as for the pregnancy checkup, we also have a medical vehicle with B-ultrasound, but it's not in the warehouse. I've asked, and it may take until next month to apply for it. So there may be no better way in this regard. I can only make more trips. All pregnant women, let them take the bus back to the city with me tonight, so that I can arrange a checkup for them tomorrow."

"Tomorrow!" Victoria was shocked by the efficiency. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Sophie blinked. "You can't get an appointment, not because the hospital lacks equipment, do you understand?"

Before Victoria could ask, Sophie continued with a somewhat proud tone: "I personally went to find the obstetrics and gynecology volunteers in our association, and they are willing to work an extra half day tomorrow - how are you and Jane going to thank me?"

"How do you want us to thank you?"

Sophie smiled slightly and lowered her head to tick a few items on the medicine list.

"...When Jane comes back," she whispered, "can you talk to me again about the assassin? If there is anything you need help with -"

"If there is, we will definitely find you."

That afternoon, the whole main house was noisy. Rico was still sitting alone on the rooftop. From this position, she could not only see everyone approaching or leaving here, but also all the whales and the study where Arevalo was.

- Hesta has a new idea every day. A few days ago, he asked her to follow Paccart closely. However, one night not long ago, Hesta suddenly brought Arevalo back here, so Rico's responsibilities were temporarily adjusted.

What's funny is that before Hesta left, she specifically said that if they really encountered an "assassin" who came to take her life, she hoped that Rico could convey to the assassin that "he hoped to keep Arevalo alive for a few more days" without Victoria and the others noticing.

This explanation is very interesting.

Delivering such a message to the assassin meant that Hesta believed that the "assassin" this time was communicable and would most likely be willing to give in;

Secondly, it had to be delivered without Victoria and the others noticing, indicating that the relationship between Hesta and the "assassin" was private and could not be noticed by the outside world.

Third, Hesta obviously also felt that Arevalo deserved to die, so she did not beg for mercy for him, but hoped to "stay a few more days", which shows that she still had something to do...

Rico looked at the sky in the distance, watching the sun sinking slowly until the emergency lights in the yard came on.

All day long, Sophie and the medical team she brought were examining the women in the yard, drawing blood, and distributing medicines and necessary daily necessities. Perhaps because of this, Arevalo did not go downstairs all day.
