Chapter 359
Tristan shot a begrudging glance at Sophie. See! This is how Arius bullies others all the time. However, I can’t even teach him a lesson out of respect for Sophie! This is so upsetting.
Sophie felt extremely guilty when she saw the look in his eyes. After all, she did not do it on purpose.
When they were at Horington, Arius would call her that all the time and make her cringe. Hence, at times when she ran out of patience, she would just tell him off.
Arius’ mood improved.
“Let’s go and eat! I’m so hungry!”
Every time Tristan got upset, he would feel pleased. He just wanted to see Tristain unhappy.
Hence, whenever that happened, he would naturally become extremely delighted.
Arius led the way in. However, Tristan and Sophie were still standing outside. When Sophie saw that he was not moving, she walked toward him and held his hand.
“I’m just calling him that casually. I don’t mean anything else.”
Sophie could not bring herself to feel happy when she saw him being jealous.
“Are you angry? Don’t be angry, okay?”
All Tristan could do was sigh.
“Kiss me. If you kiss me, I’ll pretend that nothing happened earlier.”
Sophie stood on her toes and pecked him on the lips.
“What about this?” This should be enough, right?
“Fine, I’ll accept it.” Tristan wrapped his arm around her waist and entered the restaurant. Honestly, other than the annoying things that he would say, Arius was quite decent.
At the very least, he was just like a brother to Sophie.
After eating, the three of them headed to the hospital.
Upon arriving, Arius changed his clothes and went to the hospital ward to check Sunny’s hand.
After a meticulous inspection, Arius reached a conclusion.
“Is there any hope for my hand, Professor Gullifer?” Sunny knew Arius well. Since Arius had helped to heal his hand the previous time, he felt like he had just gotten a glimpse of hope upon seeing Arius again.
Arius patted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I can heal you even if your bones have shattered!” assured Arius confidently.
After staying at the International Medical Association for such a long time, there was no way he could not heal Sunny’s hand.
“Really? I can still play the drums?” The other doctors in the country had already run out of solutions. Despite having met numerous doctors in the past few days, the outcomes were all disappointing.
Although he was initially full of confidence, he started doubting himself after the doctors left one after the other.
Arius could not help but burst out laughing.
“If someone else said that, I would’ve just left immediately. I don’t like patients who don’t trust me.”
I’ve quite a temper too, okay? Is there a need to doubt me like that?
“I’m sorry, Professor Gullifer. I just…”
“That’s enough. What are you doing, Arius? Sunny’s just worried about his hand.” Sophie did not like it when others bullied Sunny.
Since Sophie said that, Arius stopped messing around.
“Fine! Don’t worry. There’ll be absolutely no problem.” He still behaved in front of Sophie.
Arius lamented secretly, She only calls me back when she needs me. And every time I return, she’s so fierce toward me!
When the director found out that Arius and the rest were at the hospital, he specially cleared out the director’s office for Arius.
Arius did not stand on ceremony either as he would only be staying there for a few days before flying off.
Sitting on the swivel chair in the director’s office, Arius glanced at Sophie.
“What? Everyone else is more important than me, right?”
“You’re the most important, Professor Gullifer! You’re my benefactor!” When faced with immature people like him, Sophie had no choice but to coax him.
When Arius heard that, his mood lifted. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
“Fine! I know that you’re busy lately, so just go ahead with your work. Leave Sunny to me!”
Since he was such a professional, there would not be any problems.
“Please check on Mason’s legs too.”
“Don’t go overboard, Sophie! You’re making me check everyone! Do I still have a right to choose?”
Even if the president of Anglandur wanted his medical services, it would still depend on whether he was willing to help.
Also, why does Mason deserve my help?
“Well, just treat it as a favor for me, okay?” She thought that bygones should be bygones. No matter what, Mason should not end up like that.
“Hmph! You always want me to do things for you.”
“Why? Am I not important enough for you to do such a small thing for me?” asked Sophie with a raised eyebrow. He’s quite reluctant this time, huh? “In that case, just go back. I’ll think of a solution myself. Otherwise, I can just invite Dr. Smith over,” she continued.
Is there a need to be so proud? I’ve already humbled myself for him, but he’s still playing hard to get!
“Fine! I really can’t do anything to you. I got it.”
It was just a surgery, so it was not a huge hassle for him.
“Thank you! I’ll treat you to a meal after the surgery.”
Arius could not help but roll his eyes.
“It’s like you won’t treat me to a meal if I don’t do the surgery.” Hmph! If I’d known this earlier, I wouldn’t have gone to Anglandur. I might still be the most important person to her if I had stayed in Horington.
After finding out that Sophie was willing to help him, Mason felt conflicted.
He was the one who had done wrong all along.
If he had not left selfishly, Sophie would not have been sent to Horington. However, it was pointless even if he regretted it.
Sophie did not need his forgiveness.
Still, he had not met Sophie for a few months. Upon discovering that she was also at the hospital, he rushed over secretly and saw her walking out of the director’s office.
She’s still as attractive as before.
Mason’s eyes were filled with an obsessed look.
She’s a girl who’s as bright as the star. Even if she just stands there without doing anything, she’s still so charming. She has fancied me before, but I didn’t treasure her. Now, I have lost her, and things will never be the same ever.
“Sophie!” Mason called out to her just when she was about to leave.
He used to be so confident in the past.
Yet, standing in front of her now, all he could feel was shame and inferiority.
When Sophie heard her name, she turned her head around and saw Mason leaning against the wall.
Now, she no longer hated or loved Mason. He was merely someone whom she used to know.
With great difficulty, Mason limped toward Sophie.
“I heard from my mom that you asked Professor Gullifer to help me. I’m really grateful that you are still willing to help me out.”
Now that they were standing together, all he could do was thank her.
