Finally, just as Sophia Bennett was nearing her limit, she came to her senses, ran to the neighborhood surveillance room, and asked the security guard to check the footage. It was then she realized she had suffered for nothing—Christopher Scott hadn't returned to the apartment at all that afternoon.
When Sophia got back to the car, she raised her small hand and smacked herself hard, scolding, "Sophia, you're such a fool! Sitting there at the door for an entire hour."
As Sophia spoke, her teeth chattered. She was so cold that her whole body trembled, cold enough for her teeth to chatter.
She took a deep breath, carefully turned on the car heater, and then exhaled deeply. With her small hands, she gently rubbed them together and sighed, "Christopher, where could you be on such a cold day? Don't be as foolish as me, freezing outside. It's truly cold; don't let yourself suffer."
