Cadoc suddenly looked up , anger burning in his eyes , and turned to go find Ella in the ward to get some answers . However , as soon as he took a step , he saw Sophie standing at the corner of the corridor , staring pale- faced at the file bag in his hand . " Cadoc ... she walked up quickly , her voice deliberately trembling , " I knew something was wrong with her a long time ago ! She's not Ella at all , she's an impostor ! " Cadoc looked at her coldly , not missing the panic that flashed in her eyes . He suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked in a deep voice , " Why do you want to investigate these things ? " Sophie froze for a moment , then forced a pale smile and said , " I - I was just worried that you were being deceived ... " Cadoc ignored her and pushed open Ella's hospital room door , only to find it empty . The nurse told him that the Jefferson family had recently taken " the lady " away . " The Jefferson family ? Cadoc's eyes narrowed , immediately ordering his assistant , " Check the authen- ticity of these documents and prepare the car , I'm going to the Jefferson family ! " Sophie saw the situation and hurried forward to stop him , her voice urgent : " Cadoc , if she has fled , it means she is guilty ! Pretending to be Ella , she might be after the Fitzgerald family's fortune . Why both- er chasing her again ? " Cadoc paused and turned to look at her . " I just wanted to know , where is the real Ella ? " Sophie's body stiffened , and the smile on her face almost couldn't hold up : " Cadoc , do you ... do you like her ? " Cadoc didn't answer , he just looked at her deeply and then walked away quickly . Sophie stood still , clutching the hem of her clothes tightly , feeling both regretful and uneasy she had thought that exposing " Ella's " identity would allow her to have Cadoe all to herself , but she hadn't ex- pected things to develop to this point . 0.0 % 11:50 Chapter 17 Looking at Sophie beside him , Cadoc's doubts grew bigger and bigger . Sophie's performance was also very unusual . 288 ¡ Vouchers He pondered for a moment and sent a message to his assistant : " Also , go check on Sophie and find out why she was investigating these things in the first place . " After getting on the car , Cadoc furrowed his brow , feeling like something was missing . The car was too quiet , and it was missing something . He furrowed his brow in thought , the familiar scent of jasmine that could relax his tense nerves slightly was gone . " How come the incense in the car has been changed ? he asked the driver coldly . " The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said cautiously , " Mr. Fitzgerald , the previous spices were personally blended by the lady , claiming to have a calming effect . But recently ... she hasn't provided any new ones . " Cadoc was taken aback , and several images suddenly flashed through his mind- Returning home late from work , Ella always left a light on in the hallway and a cup of warm honey wa- ter on the table . When he had a stomachache , she would deliberately add a little yam to the oatmeal she cooked , making it soft and sticky but not overly sweet . On rainy days , she would quietly slip a small jasmine sachet into his suit pocket , saying it could drive away the damp and cold air ... Those tiny acts of tenderness , almost ignored by him , now feel like a needle silently piercing into the heart . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
