Chapter 229
Upon hearing what John said, Sophia shot him a glare. “I was standing behind Logan!” She thenproceeded to mumble, “That nitwit isn’t even half as capable as Ian.”
There was a pause in John’s movements as soon as Ian was mentioned, which reminded him of whenIan held Sophia in his arms. There was a tear to the back of his shirt, but John wasn’t sure if he washurt. He has quite a good reflex, John thought, and the thought of it irked him.
While the wound on Sophia’s leg wasn’t that serious, John still offered, “I’ll bring you to the hospital tohave it bandaged.”
Sophia’s mouth hung agape as soon as she heard they were going to the hospital. “Is it that serious?”
John buckled her up before driving off, figuring that Logan’s presence would be enough to hold themoff. Sophia was carried in his arms upon their arrival at the emergency department.
The doctor on duty—who was an acquaintance of John’s—stood from his seat when John carriedSophia over to him. “John?”
Meanwhile, John was feeling more relieved upon seeing the doctor. “Mr. Holt, this is Sophia, and herleg was injured, so I brought her over to have it treated.”
With haste, the doctor examined Sophia’s wound. From a doctor’s perspective, any wound was awound worth attention. While retrieving some antiseptic and gauze, the doctor had John carry her overto the bed. Sophia held onto John’s arm as she said, “I’m scared.” She was no longer the foolhardy girlwho feared nothing.
After giving it some thought, John pulled her into an embrace while consoling her, “It’s alright. It won’thurt a lot.” novelbin
The doctor chuckled upon seeing her reaction. “It’s not that big of a deal, as all you need is a dressing.You don’t even need a vaccine for tetanus.” Nonetheless, Sophia dared not look as she buried her facein John’s arms while the doctor cleaned and wrapped up her wound. “I’m done. You’ll be alright in twodays, but beware that the wound doesn’t come into contact with water.”
Sophia was still holding onto John’s waist when she looked up at him to speak in a pitiable tone, “Idon’t have the strength to walk.” It was thus John carried her in his arms as he left after bidding thedoctor goodbye.
After pondering about it, Sophia tried to reach for her phone, only to be stopped by John, who wore afrown on his face. “Don’t move.”
She let out a cry of surprise. “I want to give Ian a call to inquire about things on his side.”
There was a sour look on John’s face as he spoke, “You seem to care about him a lot.”
She wore a pout while asking, “Why do you look so gloomy? Can’t I ask him one question?”
She wore a pout while asking, “Why do you look so gloomy? Can’t I ask him one question?”
Her query was met with silence as John carried her into the car. As soon as they settled into it, Logan’scall came through without having her to make a call. She quickly forgot about the wound on her leg asshe picked up the call.
From what Logan said, he already left the Morgans after giving them a harsh scolding, yet none ofthem dared retort him, perhaps due to the threat he issued beforehand, so all they could do was hopethat Logan would leave them alone after he’d had enough. Logan also inquired Sophia on her injury, towhich she replied, “It’s already bandaged up. The doctor said it’s not a big deal, so I will be going homefor today. Sorry for not being able to play with you today.”
Nor was Logan in the mood to gamble, so he hung up after telling her to take care, and he wouldcontact her again when he had time. Sophia leaned back in her seat while crossing her legs slowly asJohn opened up, “Buckle up. I’ll begin the drive now.”
She hummed in the affirmative while buckling up, after which the car drove away. They spent thejourney in silence up until they arrived at home. John would then get out of the car to open the door forher.
