Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

The VIP floor’s security was always the strictest in the entire hospital. How could a clearly unstable patient break in and find Sophia’s room with such precision?

This was no coincidence.

Rage and terror crashed over him in waves.

Connor clenched his fists, abandoning all pretense of composure as he sprinted toward Sophia’s room.

He burst through the door to find Sophia lying in bed, her left arm wrapped in clean bandages. Though pale, she seemed alert and was speaking politely to a tall, fashionably dressed young man standing beside her bed.

“Sophia!” Connor rushed to her bedside, his voice tight with worry. “How are you? Where are you hurt? Are you okay?”

His eyes swept over her frantically before settling on her bandaged arm.

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Sophia quickly shook her head to reassure him she was fine.

She then gestured toward the young man. “Connor, this is Mr. Fitzgerald—he saved me. If he hadn’t appeared when he did, 4:14

might be dead now…”

She trailed off, but the lingering fear in her eyes said everything.

Only then did Connor turn his attention to Garrett.

He quickly composed himself, extending his hand with perfect manners. “Hello, Connor. I’m Sophia’s friend and also her attending physician. Thank you so much for saving her life, Mr. Fitzgerald. If you could provide me with your contact information, I’d like to express my gratitude properly.”

As one man to another, Garrett immediately saw through Connor’s feelings for Sophia.

That barely contained concern went far beyond what a doctor should feel for a patient. This was the instinctive protectiveness a man showed only for the woman he loved.

Garrett understood perfectly, though his expression revealed nothing.

He clasped Connor’s hand with an easy smile. “Hello, Garrett. Dr. Wilson, you’re too kind. It was nothing-anyone would have done the same.”

He released Connor’s hand and waved his phone with smugness. “Actually, Sophia already gave me her number and promised to take me to dinner once she’s discharged. No need for any reward

–just a meal will do.”

Connor’s expression didn’t change, though something flickered in his eyes.

He smiled warmly, deflecting with practiced ease. “Of course. Sophia and I will definitely prepare a proper gift to show our appreciation.”

He deliberately emphasized “Sophia and I,” positioning himself firmly in her corner.

Interesting.

Garrett raised an eyebrow, reassessing this doctor who wore his white coat like armor but couldn’t quite hide his aristocratic bearing.

He was nothing like the man from earlier-the one who’d stood there radiating hostility, holding another woman while barking. orders at him.

That man had been handsome but cruel. This Dr. Wilson

seemed kind, at least on the surface.

Garrett could tell the doctor came from serious money to have the confidence to spar with him like this.

invitation from… Sophia and you, Dr. Wilson.”

He checked his watch. “I actually came in today for a follow-up on an injury I got during an action scene. Now that I’m done, I need to get back to set.”

He turned to Sophia. “Take care of yourself. I’ll see you later,

okay?”

So he’s in entertainment. That explains the cap and mask.

Sophia managed a grateful smile. “Thank you again. Connor and I will definitely take you to dinner once I’m discharged.”

When Connor heard her say “Connor and I” so naturally in front of this young man who clearly had feelings for her-including him in her circle so effortlessly-warmth flooded through him, washing away the darkness in his heart like fireworks suddenly blooming across a night sky.

He felt closer to Sophia than ever.

Even as he walked Garrett to the door, Connor couldn’t suppress his smile.

Seeing him grin like a lovesick fool, Garrett shook his head with amusement but said nothing as he left.

After seeing Garrett out, Connor returned to examine Sophia’s14
