Chapter 715 - Trouble in LA Medical Center (5) (2/2)

This is Stella's second time in this room. First time she was here, Edward revealed his identity as SP3CT3R to her. Now that she looks through the room, she can see that it changed. The walls were mostly empty the first time she was here, more than two decades ago. Now the walls are filled with photos of their three girls and there are few photos of Stella as well. At the back of the room is one large corkboard filled with photos of King and his associates. Photos are mixed in with various papers, probably notes about the person in photos.

Stella inhaled when she saw that one photo on the corkboard is of her parents. They look much older on that photo than when she saw them last time. She started walking toward that photo, to take a better look, but Edward's voice made her stop.

”Sophia checked herself into LA Medical Center, and Sarah was logged in as a visitor seven minutes ago.” Edward's eyes were glued to the screen in front of him.

Stella does not understand why is that a big deal. Sophia is pregnant, it's normal for her to go often for checkups. And Sarah joining is not unusual, they are sisters. ”And you called me here because…?”

Edward rotated one of the screens which is in front of him so that she can see it.

”Is that Sarah?” Stella moved closer to see better video showing Sarah fighting against three people. ”Is this live?”

Edward confirmed that they are looking at the live feed. When he got a notification that both Sophia and Sarah are in LA Medical Center, he hacked into the surveillance system to check on them.

”Who are they?”, Stella was referring to three people who were attacking Sarah.

”You tell me.” Edward dryly said.

Stella's eyes didn't leave the screen. ”They are not experts… but they are not beginners either. One on one, even two on one Sarah should not have problems handling them… but this is three of them…” Stella frowned.

”Are they… your people?” Edward reluctantly asked.

Stella started shaking her head but stopped halfway. After a second, she explained: ”Not from the main family. But they could be from one of the branches.”

Edward swiftly started typing on his keyboard.

Stella looked at his second screen where text appeared. ”You are sending this to Whites?”

Edward paused. ”We have an agreement to share information if it's related to either of those two families, correct?” He saw that Stella frowned in disapproval. Edward exhaled. ”This is our chance to share with them. Would you like it if they found out about this and kept it to themselves?”

Edward saw that Stella relaxed and continued typing.

Stella got her phone. ”I will call Elanor to let her know.”

She dialed a number and her eyes didn't leave the screen.

”Hi Nori, Edward is sending you something. You will need computer access. … Yes, it's about that.” Stella ended the call and watched her daughter skillfully avoid and block attacks.

”She is only defending… this is not enough…”, Stella mumbled. ”Faster, baby girl… you can go faster. Rely on your speed…”

”You think she can go faster?” Edward asked.

”I know she can.” Stella answered. ”I believe that this is her first time facing someone skillful as an enemy, and that is pulling her down.”

Stella wished that she can be in Los Angeles, to help Sarah… but she it far away.
