The only thing she was grateful for and happy about was that Chase hadn't showed up in front of her after that terrifying and traumatising night. Once when Valerie had gone to check up on her, she had told her that Chase flew out of the country for work and still wasn't back yet and Sometimes, Sophia even prayed for him to just die and never return.
