Thus, Ysabelle had no choice but to let Felix shield her in his arms and walk out of the venue with difficulty amidst the crowd.
Meanwhile, after Sophie changed out of her clothes and removed her makeup before she went out, about to look for Tristan.
To her surprise, Mark and the others were waiting outside.
Sunny’s hands had yet to be treated.
“Sophie, your performance was amazing today!”
Sunny cried out. Indeed, no matter how much time had passed, Sophie was still the same person as ever— she could perform wonderfully at any time and any place.
However, Sophie frowned when she looked at his swollen hand.
“Why aren’t you at the hospital?”
Didn’t I ask him to look for Arius at the hospital? Why is he so heedless about his condition? Is he planning to never use his hand ever again?
“It’s fine. I can go to the hospital tomorrow to get it checked out.”
Sunny then scratched his head with his other hand.
It had been too long since he caught a glimpse of her performance, so he was reluctant to leave. He wanted to watch her for a little longer, but he ended up watching until the concert ended.
“Don’t worry, Sophie. I’ll take him to the hospital tomorrow.”
Most doctors are done with their shifts by now. Even if we are popular, we can’t possibly drag the doctors out of their beds, right?
“How can you leave this matter until the next day? Don’t you know how important his hand is?”
Sophie uttered, her volume was getting louder without her noticing it. Who did this? I have to find out who the culprit is. I’ll never let this matter go.
Sunny could not help but feel touched by how she reacted.
He had been around Sophie for a year, so, naturally, he knew that underneath her cold exterior was a caring soul.
“It’s okay, Sophie. It doesn’t hurt that much. If I go tomorrow, I’ll be able to see a specialist instead.”
“We’re going right now! The rest of you should go back. I’ll take Sunny there.”
“Sophie!”
Sunny cried out, tears welled up in his eyes as he was really touched.
“That’s enough. Stop looking at me in that way. Let’s go.”
Sunny had already removed his makeup, and once he put on a mask, she was sure that they would not attract unnecessary attention even if they were to go to the hospital.
“I’ll come with you.”
No matter what, Sophie was still a girl, and it was unsafe for her to be out this late at night. The others were certain that she would not be able to find a specialist at the hospital to give Sunny a checkup. However, Sunny could only give in at her insistence.
“It’s fine. My friend is waiting for me outside. I’ll go with him. Sunny, come on!”
“Mark, I’ll be leaving now then. Head back and rest earlier. All of you must be tired from the performance. Don’t worry about me. My hand is really fine.”
With that said, Sunny went out with Sophie through the back door.
Mark was still worried, and he tried to go after them, but his teammates stopped him.
“Forget it, Mark. You know how Sophie is. No one can change her mind about the decisions she has made. It’s good that she didn’t let you go. You’re the representative of The Wheelers, and many people know you. If fans recognize you at the hospital, it’ll be a big problem.”
Mark knew that the members were right, but he just could not be at ease.
After Tristan received Sophie’s call, he drove out. As Sophie and Sunny came out through the VIP lane, not many fans were there to see them.
Tristan did not say anything when he saw her exiting with a young man.
“This is Sunny—The Wheelers’ drummer. His hand is injured, so we’re taking him to the hospital,”
Sophie explained to Tristan before calling Arius.
Just as the call went through, Arius’ voice traveled out of the speakers.
“Sophie, you’re calling me so late at night. Are you feeling lonely? Do you want me to go and warm your bed?”
teased Arius.
“Arius, do you still want to go home?”
came Tristan’s icy voice.
Immediately, Arius hugged himself.
This man is so boring! It’s not as if I’ve said anything!
“Mr. Tristan, what are you doing? I dare you to lay a finger on me. Let’s see if Sophie’s going to let you off. Sophie and I are really close. She’ll definitely decimate anyone who dares to hurt me!”
There’s no way you can threaten me!
“Is that so? Then you should ask her who’s the more important person to her—you, or me.”
Tristan was very upset. Does everyone I come across have to make a comparison with me? They’re really getting on my nerves.
“Sophie, look, he’s bullying me again! Say, who’s more important to you—me or him?”
At that moment, Arius looked as if he was going to end both Sophie and his own life if she were to tell him that he was not important to her.
“That’s enough. Can you stop with the nonsense? Where are you right now? Are you at the hospital?”
Sophie was done entertaining the two childish men.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt, or is it that arrogant Mr. Tristan? I really hope he’s the one who’s hurt.”
He’s always trying to steal her away from me! I hope he’s injured in a way that he can’t be treated!
“Don’t worry. I’m not hurt, and Mr. Tristan isn’t either,”
Sophie muttered, exasperated by Arius’ childishness.
“I don’t care where you are right now, but come to the hospital instantly. One of my friends is injured.”
“Okay, I got it. I’ll go to the hospital right away. Don’t panic. As long as I’m there, nothing’s a problem. Ask Mr. Tristan to drive slower. It’s fine if he dies, but I’m not going to let him off the hook if you’re injured.”
“Arius, I hope you’ll have the courage to repeat this in my face later.”
Indeed, Tristan was gradually becoming more and more childish around Sophie. It was mainly because Arius was someone special to Sophie, so he could not actually hurt him, for Arius mattered a lot to Sophie.
Otherwise, he would have murdered Arius countless times by then. The other man was simply annoying. Hence, Tristan mulled over how he was going to get Sean to make arrangements and teach the annoying man a lesson later.
“Sophie, he’s threatening me!”
Arius complained.
Sophie was speechless, so she just hung up the call.
Arius gasped when he heard the telltale sound of the call being ended.
“Holy cr*p, Sophie! What kind of attitude is that? How can you do this to me? This is too much!”
Arius was not amused.
What did I do wrong? Am I not the most important person to Sophie? How can she do this to me because of this evil man? This is too much! She’s crossing the line! I’m never going to believe in her words anymore.
Arius was heartbroken, but the moment Sophie appeared at the hospital with Sunny, he had gone back to his normal state.
“Sophie, is he your friend?”
Arius looked at the young man from head to toe.
“Yes. His hand is injured. He’s a drummer, so his hands are important to him. You’d better take a good look at it.”
Sophie pushed Sunny over to Arius.
“All right. Leave this to me. As long as I’m the one on this case, these hands, even if they were broken, can be fixed and will be as good as new,”
Arius reassured confidently.
Sunny knew that he was not as popular as his leader. Seeing that the man in front of him was Sophie’s friend, he went ahead and introduced himself,
“Hello, I’m Sunny.”
