Emmie did not expect such a scene. She hurriedly ran to Brandon, held out her hands, and said, "Dad, what are you doing? You're a doctor. Doctors always save lives. You always say you won't treat any patients, but in the end you still do. This time, can you quickly say yes?"
Brandon said with anger, "It was before. This time is different. I can treat anyone else except her."
Emmie turned her head to Sophia, "Sis, is it you who wants to see the doctor?"
"No, it's my husband!"
Sophia said without hesitation.
Brandon waved his hand, "That's more unlikely!"
Sophia said loudly, "Mr. Glass, you refused to treat my husband because he's the son of the woman you miss all the time. Am I right?"
Sophia's words confused Emmie, but she understood one thing, that is, Sophia seemed to know the woman she had been curious about.
Brandon froze, and after a long time, he said, "I don't understand what you're saying!"
Turning around, he went back to get the herbs.
Sophia walked forward. "You say you don't understand, but you betrayed yourself the moment you saw me."
"In the eyes of outsiders, you are unworldly, as if you break off all the relations with others. But I know you actually care about a lot of things, and you also care about my teacher!"
Emmie looked more confused. Who was Sophia's teacher?
"My teacher is the one you've always wanted. You recognize me as her student at a glance and realize I am here to ask you to save my teacher's son. But I know well my teacher's son's life and death has nothing to do with you, and you will just sit by and do nothing."
Brandon turned his head and walked up to Sophia.
"Not bad, I admit, you're very smart to figure it out so quickly. But what does that matter? Since you know I want you all dead, why did you come?"
Sophia suddenly knelt down.
Paul was stunned and followed suit.
"Dr. Glass, please save my husband. He doesn't have much time left. If you don't save him, he'll really die," Sophia pleaded.
Brandon turned his head. "What does it matter if he lives or dies?"
"Of course, you hate my husband because his existence reminds you of the fact that my teacher once betrayed you. But so many years have passed. Haven't you gotten over it yet?"
Brandon kept waving his hand. "I told you I don't understand! Leave now or else I'll let the dogs attack you!"
Emmie also knelt down on the ground. "Dad, although I don't understand what's going on, I know you actually want to save this lady's husband! Please help her before it's too late."
"Shut up!" Brandon was getting angry. "Emmie, get up right now! This has nothing to do with us."
"Dad," Emmie continued pleadingly as she refused to stand up, "I really like this lady but everything that matters is about your happiness. Please help her before it's too late."
Brandon became even more furious at Emmie's stubbornness and threatened them all by saying, "Okay, fine, if no one wants to listen me, I will let the dogs attack you all!" Several large dogs came running from behind them.
Paul immediately stood in front of Sophia for protection while Emmie stood between them both and said confidently ,"It's okay; those dogs won't hurt me."
