The sight made her pupils dilate.Didn’t he leave by car?Why did he come back to find her?
“What’s wrong?” Arthur asked in a low voice. At the same time, he saw her face flushing red, so he
realized something and placed his big palm on her forehead.
The burning sensation took him aback. After wrapping her in his arms, he cursed, “Are you an idiot?”
Sophia was scolded, but why did she feel loved? “I didn’t want to trouble you guys.”
The next second, Arthur carried her in his arms and walked quickly toward the off-road vehicle.
When Emily looked back from the rearview mirror, her fingernails were about to pierce the car’s leather
seat. What on earth had Sophia done to make
Arthur hold her in his arms?!
Once the door opened, Arthur said to Emily, “Take the passenger seat.”
“Why?”
“She’s sick. We’re going to the hospital.” he answered in a low voice.
She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart. What did she have to do with Sophia’s being ill?! Why
should she switch seats with Sophia?
Since Arthur’s words sounded like a command, Emily reluctantly moved to the passenger seat. Once
she turned her head around, she could see Arthur holding Sophia like she was someone precious to
him.
After looking for a nearby hospital, the bodyguard drove there immediately.
In the emergency room of the hospital, Arthur carried Sophia, who was suffering from a high fever. It
was so bad that her
body temperature soared to 104 degrees.
The doctor immediately took emergency measures to reduce her fever. On the hospital bed, Sophia
was attached to a drip, which made her delicate skin even hotter and drier to touch.
While Emily waited in the car, she started to become annoyed. She wished that she would suffer from a
sudden illness so that Arthur would feel bad and take care of her too.
At that moment, the bodyguard returned to the car and said to her. “Young Master Weiss wants me to
take you home first.”
“What? Is he going to stay and take care of her? Why should I let Artie take care of that brat?” Emily
cursed in anger.
Naturally, the man did not dare to speak, so he started the car and drove away from the hospital.
In the ward, Sophia, who was receiving a drip to reduce her fever, looked extremely fragile. Her black
hair was spread out on the pillow and her skin paled red from the fever, but she was now fast asleep.
Arthur sat on the chair by the edge of the
bed and rested his chin on his folded hands. His gaze landed on the sleeping Sophia, but no one knew
what was going on in his mind.
Under the incandescent lamp, it seemed as if his usual aloofness was covered with a layer of warmth
and tenderness. He had never shown this side of him to any outsider except for his family.
If Sophia woke up, she would see the difference in his temperament.
However, she was too exhausted and the ingredients in the IV drip were also making her drowsy.
At this moment, his phone rang, which startled him, but he quickly picked up the phone and muted it.
When he glanced at the caller ID, he walked out to the corridor and answered the phone.
“Grandma!”
“I missed you so much, so I decided to bring your grandpa’s ashes back in advance. My flight will arrive
tomorrow afternoon.”
“What? Tomorrow afternoon?”
“Why? Why do you sound so surprised? Don’t you miss me?” the old lady asked with a smile.
“Of course I missed you too.”
“See you at the airport tomorrow afternoon then! Come and take your grandpa back home.”
“Sure!”
After hanging up the phone, Arthur raised his brows slightly as if he suddenly recalled something
embarrassing.
Sophia slept until the early morning and her fever had subsided. Apart from the
drowsiness that came as a result of the high fever, she felt a little better.
The nurse who came to change her drip greeted her with a smile. “You’re awake, Miss. Your boyfriend
has just left, but he will be back soon.”
After speaking, she couldn’t help looking at Sophia with envy. “Your boyfriend is really handsome.”
Sophia knew who the nurse was talking about, so she explained, “He’s not my boyfriend.”
“Oh? Does he have a girlfriend?” The nurse blurted out with extreme curiosity before realizing that it
was an inappropriate question and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry for mistaking him as your boyfriend.”
In fact, the nurse also thought that the lady resting on the hospital bed with fair skin and delicate facial
features was a rare beauty!
