As soon as Olivia walked out of the hospital entrance, Claire got out of the car and walked into the hospital.
Two minutes later, she appeared in Sofia's ward.
At that time, the nurse had headed out to prepare dinner for Sofia, and no one else was in the ward.
Claire knocked on the door and went in.
When she saw Sofia, pale but in good spirits on the hospital bed, Claire put down the fruit basket in her hand, smiling. "Hello, Mrs. Xia."
Sofia raised her eyes slightly and looked at the noble, elegant, and exquisite-looking woman in front of her wearing a tight-fitting gown. She knew the woman came from an established background, judging by her clothing. Sofia bobbed her head slightly. "May I know who are you?"
Claire stood at the end of the hospital bed, looking down at Sofia arrogantly. "My name is Claire Ouyang, and I'm from the Si Family."
When Claire mentioned the Si Family, the first person that came to Sofia's mind was Xavier.
Although Olivia had told her that Xavier was just a waiter at the hotel, Sofia thought otherwise.
It was impossible for a person who grew up in an ordinary family to possess the temperament and aura that Xavier had. So, even if he were indeed a hotel waiter, his background would not be as simple as it seemed.
Sofia thought, "Is Xavier... from the Jianglin Si Family? If that's the case, I must protect Olivia so she doesn't get involved in the Si Family's mess!"
"I wonder if Mr. Xia has mentioned the matter of Olivia and my son, Xavier, to you." Claire smiled elegantly. "Xavier has taken a liking to Olivia and wants to marry her, and the Si family has agreed to Mr. Xia's request. As long as Olivia and Xavier get married, the financial problem of Xia Construction will be handled immediately. Besides..."
"You will also be given the best medical resources, medicine, and equipment, never worrying about medical expenses or being kicked out of your ward. Of course, Olivia will live a worry-free, wealthy life if she marries Xavier."
Hearing this, Sofia breathed a sigh of relief.
She mused, "Luckily, she is not Xavier's mom. Otherwise, how should Olivia live in the future if she has such a mother-in-law?"
"Oh, you're Mrs. Si. My daughter told me about this. She is already an adult and has her thinking and decisions, so if you want to discuss this matter with me, you've found the wrong person."
Sofia had a smile on her face. Even though she was sickly-looking, she was calm and composed. Her unbothered manner was no worse than that of a noblewoman like Claire.
Claire narrowed her eyes as Sofia chuckled, continuing gracefully, "My daughter has her own opinions. She decides who she wants to form a relationship with or who she wants to marry. As parents, we can only advise them without over-interfering, right?"
Hearing this, Claire narrowed her eyes as sharpness glinted in them. "What do you mean by that, Mrs. Xia? Does that mean you don't think the Si Family or Xavier deserve your daughter?"
Sofia shook her head, "You're just joking, right, Mrs. Si? The Si Family is the most wealthy family in Jianglin. To be favored by the Young Master of Si is a blessing that Olivia has accumulated in her past lives. However, Olivia is not suitable for the Si Family. I'm afraid she won't be a great match for Xavier."
"After all, ordinary people like us generally can't assimilate into an influential family like yours. Even if we do, it would be hard for us to act gracefully as you do, Mrs. Si."
Sofia praised Claire while diverting the attention away from Olivia, but her words didn't make Claire happy. Instead, Claire felt like everything she said was useless.
