Chapter 193 Instigator
“Hello, Old Mr. Tanner. I’m Sophie’s classmate and best friend,” Ysabelle said cheerfully.
“Your good looks tell me you’re quite blessed, young lady,” Josiah praised. “Soph must really like you! She doesn’t have a lot of friends, so I hope you’ll get along well with her.”
“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Tanner! I’ll always stay by Soph’s side and be her strongest support!” Ysabelle’s eyes were sparkling. When she spoke, her long eyelashes would flutter, which made her look gorgeous.
Josiah could tell she had no ulterior motive for being Sophie’s friend, which made him like her even more.
“That’s right! Even though Sophie doesn’t have a lot of friends, the ones she does have all treat her sincerely, Old Mr. Tanner,” Arius added. He must be joking about her not having many friends, right? Any one of her friends is enough to terrify you all!
“Mhm, that’s good. With you two by her side, I know she won’t feel lonely after I’m gone.” While Josiah’s operation was successful, he was pretty old already. It was hard to say how much time he had left.
Sophie wasn’t happy when she heard him say something like that.
“Why are you saying that, Grandpa? Didn’t I tell you already that the operation was successful? You’ll definitely stay by my side,” she uttered. Old people sure do like to overthink things.
“I know the operation is successful. All right, let’s change the topic.” He was happy to see her having so many friends by her side.
Then he chuckled. “Tanny, have you brought them out for a meal yet? It’s about time to eat. Have you all eaten yet?”
Ysabelle almost laughed when she heard how Josiah addressed her uncle, but she managed to hold it back. I guess it’s natural that Sophie’s grandfather gives Uncle Tristan a nickname like that. Although, this relationship seems a bit messy!
She was a bit confused.
It was a joyous sight as a room full of people gathered around the old man.
Meanwhile, Charmaine had brought Willow to the hospital to get treatment for her daughter’s hand. The treatment took a while to conclude. During the process, Willow sobbed very loudly.
A layer of her skin had fallen off.
The doctor said that it was possible her hand would never recover. Even if it somehow did, there would be an obvious scar.
Willow had always been proud of her hands. However, that had changed because of Sophie. When she saw Sophie, she wanted to tear her into pieces.
The only reason she didn’t dare to do anything was that there were a lot of people around.
“You need to stand up for me, Grandpa!” She could only place her hope in Josiah. As much as Grandpa likes Sophie, he must know how serious this matter is! Sophie clearly intentionally hurt me!
When Ysabelle saw her claiming to be the victim despite being the instigator, she got angry. How can this woman be so shameless?
“What’s wrong? What happened to your hand?” While Josiah liked Sophie the most, Willow was still his granddaughter. Thus, there was no way he could ignore her injury.
“It’s all because of Sophie, Grandpa. She ruined my hand! The doctor said I might not be able to draw in the future anymore,” Willow said aggrievedly.
Ysabelle couldn’t control herself anymore and spat, “Nonsense! You were the one who wanted to hurt Sophie! She was just protecting herself.” Willow is disgusting!
Arius’ and Tristan’s expressions changed when they heard that. What? There are still people in this world who dares to hurt Sophie? Does she have a death wish?
