Robert Grant gently pushed Sophia Thompson away from him and looked at her deeply, "Sophia, I will seek justice for you in this matter. Rest now and recover. Is there anything youd like to eat? Ill go and get it for you."
Sophia suppressed her inner turmoil and looked at Robert with tearful eyes, "Robert, Im not hungry. Can you just stay with me?" She noticed that Robert was avoiding hurting Emily, and this realization made Sophia furious. However, she did not show it on her face, only appearing weak and clinging to Robert.
Robert had no choice but to stay with Sophia until she fell asleep again. He gently closed the door to the ward and called Assistant Lin to inquire about the situation.
Assistant Lin, seeing the pleading look in Emily Parkers eyes, had to say, "Mr. Grant, Miss Emily is not in serious condition. She just had a head injury and needs to rest in the hospital for a few days."
Robert let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thankfully...
"Which ward are you in?"
"Room 1406, right? Im on my way."
After Assistant Lin gave the room number, Robert was about to head over when he heard Sophias violent coughing and intermittent cries of pain from the ward.
Robert couldnt help but feel anxious and immediately called for a doctor. As soon as Sophia saw him, she clutched his hand tightly, "Robert...dont...go..." and then she fainted.
In another room, Emily had been waiting for Robert to come as he had said, but she waited with her eyes open all night and did not see his figure.
She laughed bitterly to herself, feeling a headache coming on again.
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Emily looked over with anticipation. When she saw Sophias face, she froze.
Robert had stayed with Sophia overnight and had to leave early in the morning due to company matters. Sophia remembered what she had heard the night before and came to Emilys ward alone.
She had been feeling increasingly that Roberts treatment of her was not the same as before. The thing she least wanted to happen had come to pass; Robert had developed feelings for Emily. He might have fooled himself, but he couldnt fool her!
So, Emily was too much of a hindrance; it would be easier if she were dead!
"What are you doing here?" Emily coldly looked at Sophia, "Youre not welcome here."
Sophia, however, didnt care at all and just said with a smile, "Ive come to apologize to you, sister. Youre sick, and Robert was going to come to see you last night, but I suddenly felt very unwell, so Robert could only stay with me. I really feel sorry..."
Although she was apologizing, there was no sign of apology on Sophias face. Emily looked at her and felt nauseous.
"Sophia, just say what you have to say, dont be disgusting," Emily leaned against the hospital bed, coldly looking back at Sophia.
Sophia put away her sweet smile, played with her nails, and said softly, "Sister Emily, when one is on the brink of life and death, one cant help but reminisce about the past. You dont know the real cause of your parents death, do you?"
"What are you trying to say?" Emily sat up straight as soon as she heard about her parents.
"The car your parents had in the accident, I had someone tamper with it. By the way, you didnt see the moment of the explosion, did you? It was spectacular! You know, your mother wasnt quite dead at that time, and it was me who delayed the rescue car, causing your mother to be burned alive, hahaha!"
As soon as Sophia finished speaking, Emily couldnt help but pounce on her, clutching her neck with both hands.
"It was you! You killed my parents!" Emily was so angry that her eyes turned red, and her face became even paler.
Despite breathing difficulties, Sophia continued to provoke, "Sister Emily...you cant strangle me with your strength. See the fruit knife on the bedside table? Use that!"
Emily, blinded by rage, actually picked up the fruit knife and stabbed straight at Sophia!
And just at that moment, a figure suddenly collided with her—
