That was not a decision made in a hurry it would not be good for Sophie if she was in the school of that man. Right now, I was beyond angry.

Not at Sophie, that kid. Cause of her, I had to fire Neil. He would never do such a thing as messing with all the passwords. I knew that others didn't. So it was one against the whole board.

I just sat in my seat thinking all of this. Sophie was sitting in her seat just looking down. I could tell she felt guilty. This was the first time I was ever called cause Sophie got in trouble.

"I am not angry with you. It wasn't the right thing to do but still." I said to Sophie.

"Wait dad I punched a girl, got suspended, and you are not angry?" She asks.

"Yeah, Sophie. Even suspension in this case is harsh. She just got a little scar. Nothing much. I saw her in the clinic myself." I say. She nods. She was about to cry right now. I could see it in her eyes. I decided to cheer her up with ice cream. 

"So which ice cream would you like?" I ask. I said and started the car.  A look of confusion comes on her face.

"Ice cream?" She says.

"Yeah, you deserve it. you stood up for yourself." I said. 

"Dad, I really am not in the mood for one." 

I drive to the nearest ice cream parlor, and I told  Sophie to get whichever she wanted and to get a chocolate one for me and gave her the money.  I saw Neil there.

"Hey Dr. Walker." He said walking up to me

"Hey Neil." I say.

"You were a great mentor, but yeah my family won't let me stay here without a job so I'm going today, it was nice knowing you." He said. 

"Neil. You don't need to move. The person who did that herself confessed." I say 

"What? Who did that? Do you have proof?" He asks.

"Yeah. I do I have it recorded." I say.

"Can I listen to it? He asks.

I give him my phone and he puts it to his ear.

Flashback from when ashton met sabrina.

"So sabrina who did this to you?" I asked stepping into the room not looking up from the chart. I was looking over her allergies and stuff. High school fights were common and some of them ended up at the hospital

"Your daughter." She said.

Sophie? I asked. I was confused. She would never hit someone like that

"Yeah." I said.

It was nothing much just a little bleeding cause of the sudden punch. 

"So your wife is dead. Right?" She asks.

"I don't like to talk about that to strangers but yeah she is." I say.

"So what happened with Neil I did that." She says.

"How?" I ask. I had just gotten free from that drama and fired him.

"I have sources." She says.

"Well now you are done." I say.

"Thanks." She says and hops off.

"What you just said was recorded I like to record patient visits." I say.

"Do what you wanna do." She says and gets out the door.

I called her parents by taking the phone number from the desk. And told them she visited here, and what happened.
