“I really did my best, Mr. Laird, but I’ve never seen anything like your condition before.”
The doctor didn’t know what to do.
Constance’s expression shifted as she spoke with dissatisfaction. “You’re just finding an excuse for your incompetence!”The doctor couldn’t figure out a way to treat Mason, but he couldn’t piss the Laird family off either, so he just kept quiet.
“Is there really no way to heal me?” Mason asked with despair. I can’t stay like this!“The only person in Chanaea I can think of who can help you is the legendary doctor, Arius.”
When the doctor mentioned Arius, there was an expression of admiration on his face.
Arius was a Chanaean legend. He was the first and youngest person to enter the medical association.
“The legendary doctor, Arius?” Constance heard that name before.
In fact, many people did. However, only a few had met him before.
“You can try to contact him, Mrs. Laird.”
After the doctor gave his suggestion, he left.
Constance immediately tried out different ways to contact Arius, but none of it worked.
Concurrently, Sophie was taking Josiah to get a full-body check- up.
She held on to his coat and cane as she waited outside.
It would take over two hours for the check- up to conclude. Since it was the weekend, Ysabelle invited her to hang out, but she rejected it.
“What are you busying about, Soph? Aren’t we good friends?” Ysabelle was feeling bored being alone.
“I’m at the hospital,” Sophie replied.
“What? The hospital? Why are you there? Are you sick? Why didn’t you tell me you’re sick?”
“I’m not sick. I took my grandpa to the hospital for a check-up.”
“I see. In that case, I’ll come and see you after you’re done.”
The final exam was approaching, so Ysabelle wanted to study with her friend.
“Mhm. I still have things to do, so I’ll hang up now.”
When Tristan descended from upstairs, he saw Ysabelle sighing and shaking her head.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you looking for Sophie?” He recalled she mentioned she wanted to meet with Sophie yesterday. It was why he was slightly confused as to why she was still in the house.
“I don’t know what Soph has been occupied with. She doesn’t have time to see me at all! Do you know why she is so busy, Uncle Tristan?” Ysabelle asked. She may be in the hospital today, but what about the past few days?“I also don’t know what is up with her.”
Both uncle and niece were feeling depressed because of the same person.
Once the check-up was over, Sophie helped Josiah exit the room.
“My body really is fine, Soph. There’s no need for me to do so many check-ups.”
Josiah didn’t want her to worry.
“It’s just a routine check-up, Grandpa. You don’t need to worry about it. I’ll send you back now.”
Sophie spoke.
“The driver is downstairs. You should leave if you have something you need to do. I can go back by myself.”
He knew she had things to do and didn’t want to trouble her.
He was right. She wanted to meet Arius as soon as possible to know the result.
“I’ll let the driver send you back first, Grandpa. I really do have something else I need to take care of, so I won’t be going home with you.”
Seeing Sophie like that made Josiah sad. Life and death are dictated by fate. There are many things that can’t be changed even if we wanted to. I just hope she won’t fall into a dead end.
He wanted to tell her what he was thinking, but seeing how much effort she was putting into caring for him, he felt it would be inappropriate if he did. Thus, he just sighed resignedly.
After she watched the driver leave with her grandfather, Sophie turned back to the hospital.
“Can you stop being so serious, Sophie? I’ve never seen you look so serious before,” Arius uttered.
He had obtained all the results.
Things weren’t looking good, but it wasn’t hopeless either.
“What’s his situation now? Don’t joke with me. I’m not in the mood right now.”
Sophie’s expression darkened.
Of course, Arius knew not to joke with her about her grandfather. He knew how important the old man was to her. “Relax, I got it! I already sent the information to Dr. Smith.”
He more or less knew what was going on, but there was one key question he needed an answer from his mentor.
“Is it necessary to inform Dr. Smith about this?” Sophie’s expression darkened further.
Arius approached her and patted her shoulder. “There’s nothing you need to worry about with me around. Didn’t I tell you it’s not going to be a problem? I just want to make sure I didn’t get anything wrong.”
“I believe you.”
She let out a small sigh. If Arius can’t do it, then there’s no other way.
Since Arius had just returned, the director of the hospital wanted to see him. Thus, he didn’t leave with her.
Once she was out of the hospital, she saw Willow. I guess she has been waiting for me.
When Willow saw that Sophie was out, the former blocked her path.
Sophie furrowed her eyebrows.
“Get out of my way,” she uttered mercilessly. I have no patience in dealing with her right now.
“Tell me the truth, Sophie. Do you still like Mason?” Willow wasn’t willing to accept the truth.
She felt really bitter. I don’t see how I’m worse than Sophie. Why is it that Mason can only think about her even after so many years?“It’s none of your business.”
Sophie directly pushed Willow away and prepared to leave in a taxi.
“Hah.”
It was then Willow hoped Mason’s legs would never recover because that would mean he wouldn’t be able to stay with Sophie.
After leaving the hospital, Sophie contacted Ysabelle.
Ysabelle was all happy and in a good form when she answered Sophie’s call.
“Have you finished with your matters, Sophie? Didn’t you say you want to attend Cecelia’s movie premiere? I think it’s tonight. Do you have time to go?” She only paid attention to Cecelia’s new movie because of Sophie.
“Where are you right now? I’ll come and pick you up,” Sophie suggested.
“I’m at the Lombard residence right now. You don’t need to pick me up. This place is too remote, and it’s hard to get a taxi here. I’ll ask the driver to send me to Wisteria Apartments. You can just wait for me there.”
Due to William, the Lombard residence was built on a spot halfway up the mountain. It really would be inconvenient for a taxi to drive up there.
Ysabelle changed into a beautiful dress. Even though Jipsdale’s winter was very cold, she still liked to wear dresses. She only wears a woolen jacket on top of her dress.
