When Sophia checked the bathroom, she saw a pillar in a corner. She didn't think much about it at the time. When she got out of the bathroom, she remembered that the room on the plane was different from that on the ground. A pillar-like this would not be necessary.
Now, the "pillar" was on the ground. It was just a piece of cardboard. The man must be hiding inside then. He put the cardboard in his bag, carried it into the bathroom, and stood it in a corner. The pattern of the paper was the same as the bathroom and looked like a real pillar.
Apparently, he was fully prepared and determined to make it. He had prepared tools and was sure that Victor would go to this bathroom, the nearest one to the first class. The bathroom was accessible to both men and women, so he's entering would not be suspected.
It was impossible to escape after an attack on the plane. The gray man was prepared to be caught after the murder.
Bridget had been crying with Victor in her arms. She just went to the bathroom, but her son was almost killed. If Sophia hadn't realized it and kicked the door in time to save Victor, she would have never seen victor again.
She had thought she had been cautious enough, but she didn't expect this to happen. If it wasn't for Sophia, it would be an unimaginable consequence.
"Thank you so much!" Bridget took Sophia's hand and thanked her. "You saved Victor twice. I... I don't know what to say. As long as there is anything I can do for you..."
Sophia interrupted her, "I just wish Victor is fine. He is a good boy. I hope the police can find out the man behind it. But I don't think it's quite easy."
Since the man dared to do it, he must have planned everything well. Just like Beck, he would take all on himself, Sophia thought.
No one knew what kind of deals there were.
Bridget went to Benjamin to thank him, "Thank you, Mr. Benjamin. Thank you for protecting Victor. I'll repay you when I get back."
"Well, Terry… Mr. Terry. As for the reward. Ha-ha… It's very kind of you. You can give me some money if you wish," said Benjamin.
Sophia was speechless about Benjamin's shamelessness.
Then Bridget went to Albert. "You don't need to thank me. Grey is my friend, I should help," Albert said.
Ten minutes later, the plane landed at a nearby airport. The police took the man off the plane and checked out the dangers that might be present.
There weren't many people in the bathroom, but the sound of kicking the door was loud, and many people had heard it.
Many passengers in the first class were frightened by the sudden break-in killer. They didn't want to continue the trip on this plane and asked for a refund. Considering that it was their responsibility, the airline agreed to refund their tickets in full.
Bridget also wanted to change a flight, but Sophia dissuaded her, "I don't think so. This flight will certainly be more alert and safer. It's not safe to change flights."
After waiting for more than an hour, the plane was confirmed safe and took off again.
All the way, Bridget was anxious. When Victor asked to go to the bathroom, she said no and told him to hold it and pee until they got home.
Victor looked aggrieved, and his face flushed. When he got off the plane, he was thirsty and drank some water. Now, he wanted to pee.
Albert got up and took Victor in his hand, "I'll go with you."
Victor cheered up, "Thank you, uncle Pearson."
Albert was not happy.
He called Sophia's sister, but called him… uncle?!
What an unlovely child!
He took Victor to the bathroom and then walked him back. Police officers were everywhere on the plane. There were two at the door of the bathroom, a man and a woman. They checked inside once in a while. Also, they inspected everyone who went to the bathroom, strictly.
Under such strict protection, the rest of the journey was safe, and there were no other accidents.
The plane arrived at the airport late at noon.
Sophia was afraid of another accident and held Victor tightly when they got off the plane. Pearson's car was waiting outside. Sophia got in, and Albert sat on the passenger seat.
The car got out of the airport, made a turn, and stopped at a newsstand.
"Get off!" Albert said, get off and opened the door for Sophia.
Sophia was confused but immediately understood when she saw another car parked aside.
The location of the newsstand was special. It was in a hollow in front of a building. A car parking here would be fully shielded, and people could see nothing happening here.
Albert did this for fear that someone might be following them after they left the airport. He was afraid that the man would attack them on the road, so he just changed cars and led the pursuer away. It would be much safer in this way.
After changing the car, they went straight to the hospital. Sophia and Albert accompanied Bridget and Victor into the ward, which was already crowded with people, mostly real family members, waiting for the don to announce his will.
Grey breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife and son return safely. He whispered a few words and took Victor to the old man's bed.
The old man didn't announce his will because he had been waiting for Victor. He looked quite pale. When he saw Victor, he smiled.
"Come here." He beckoned to Victor, "Come to grandpa."
Seeing that, Sophia was touched. Everyone would die, and she had experienced death herself, but she was still sad to see a dying old man.
Victor had already arrived safely. Sophia left the ward with Albert.
Elma also came but didn't go into the ward. She was not quite close to the Cooper family. To avoid suspicion, she waited outside the door.
"Thanks for taking care of my sister," Elma said, "I heard from my sister. It was a dangerous trip. Thanks for being there. I don't know what to say."
Sophia waved her hands, "It's all right.. I would help even if they are strangers."
