William stroked her hair affectionately and combed her curly hair ends with the other hand. He looked down to cover up all the feelings, “Well, yes, it was a disease that can't be cured.”
Sophia had a kind heart since she was a child. She would be sad if she knew that he did something like this. She is a pearl which he was holding tightly in his hand. He could only take good care of her, without any slight damage.
“What a pity!” she sighed slightly, raising her face from his arms, "You shouldn’t be unkind to others, William. She is my benefactor. I would have been done without her.”
Without her, Sophia wouldn’t get hurt. This is called one life for another. William nodded, “I know, your health isn’t good, just leave these things to me.”
After lying in his arms for a long time, Sophia whispered again, “William, I want to go home tomorrow. My parents knew that I was injured, and they called several times.”
“No, you haven’t recovered yet,” the domineering voice was full of petting. Sophia shook his arm with a pitiful face, “Please, I feel better, and I want to go home too, please.” The soft words got into his heart easily. William could no longer bear to refuse her request, and had to nod his head, “However, you must go to the hospital after meeting your parents!”
“Okay,” her small face tightened and wrinkled into a ball. William saw this and felt a sudden burst of heartache. He hugged her tighter, “Sophia, you had a rough time.”
“No, Sophia isn’t afraid of hardships,” trying to pretend to be strong and withdrawing from William’s arms, Sophia slid out of the bed. “I have prepared several sets of clothes to go home, help me choose which one is the best.” She opened the wardrobe, there were several sets of clothes that have been matched.
William didn't want to step over and took out a set of sky-blue shawl lace skirt, “This one.”
“Blue?” Sophia pursed her lips.
William took it down and put it in front of her, “This is your favorite color, and it also matches your skin.”
“...” she didn’t say anything, just nodded obediently, “If William says that’s it, let it be.”
When Mia received a call from James Davies, she hurriedly rushed to the Huntington Hospital. A group of people walked over in the aisle, they looked important. Mia leaned to stand near the wall but saw a familiar shadow in the crowd: Sophia.
She was embraced like the moon that was hold by the stars, walking to the senior VIP ward. Next to her was the devilish man, William Brown. He lowered his eyebrows and all his thoughts were with Sophia. Naturally he didn’t notice her, standing in the corner.
Mia pressed her body tightly and put her hands on the face. She wasn’t without moving, hiding herself deeper.
The shadow of James Davies appeared at the corner. He enthusiastically greeted William and Sophia and talked to them, personally leading their way.
Did they... always know each other?
Mia’s thoughts became complicated, but she was still waiting carefully at the door of James’ office.
After half an hour, James finally appeared, rubbed his brows and nose with two fingers, and smiled to her. Mia’s face turned red, and her heart was easily moved by his smile.
This was the only man in the world who could touch her heart.
Sitting comfortably in the office chair, James signaled Mia to sit down before handing her a copy of the information, “I asked you to come here because I want you to do me a favor. One of my friends has leukemia, and your bone marrow just matches hers, so...”
His intention couldn't be more obvious. He was asking her to donate hematopoietic stem cells, and Mia’s mind quickly flashed a delicate and pale face. She opened her lips and asked tentatively, “Is it... Sophia?”
“Exactly!”
If it was someone else, she would gladly agree, but that was Sophia. The woman who had a devilish husband who made her suffer.
Why should she help? William almost took her heart for Sophia’s heart transplantation. She didn’t have any reasons to help a murderer-like man to solve his problems.
“No!” Mia shook her head firmly. James raised his brows slightly and his face looked like he couldn’t believe it, “Mia, this is a trivial matter for you.”
Without even thinking about it, she turned around and ran out. James ran out after her, “Mia, why is that? You aren’t that kind of person who can't save someone else!”
Facing the wall, Mia took a few deep breaths before calming down the anger in her heart, “Professor Davies, if it’s someone else, I will save this person. But her, I can't save her!”
“Mia!” James stepped forward to straighten her body and cast his bright eyes on her, “Because William almost made you give your heart to Sophia, you don't want to do it, right?”
More than that. Shaking her body, Mia gritted her teeth and looked at him for a long, long time. In the end, she still didn't have the guts to tell those things. In front of a young man she admired to speak out of the shameless past, she really couldn't say it.
James’ hands were lying on his chest, and his narrow eyes full of emotions gleamed with unknown light.
