Chapter 795: Chapter 795

“No need for that. I‘ll take her back home myself.” For some reason, Arthur felt an urge to take Sophia back home by himself. At the same time, Sophia only looked at him in a stunned manner as she was reminded of the moment he once treated her this well.

While Arthur carried Sophia in his arms and walked toward the car that the person in charge had prepped for him, Emily was left stomping the ground behind her with regret and anger. Why on earth did I bring Sophia here and even end up creating the perfect opportunity for her to run into Arthur?!

Besides the thought of that, she also noticed Arthur‘s sudden change in attitude as he was usually indifferent toward Sophia. Why does he still treat Sophia so well? I thought he‘d already forgotten about her. Didn‘t my father make sure of that? Emily was left behind as she helplessly watched the car he was in left.

Meanwhile, Sophia was stunned as she looked at the man sitting beside her. After all, he just took her away from the turf club and left his fiancée behind. Thus, she was worried that it would undermine the man‘s reputation if anyone knew what he did.

Unwilling to tarnish his image, Sophia decided to force herself to walk without letting Arthur carry her as soon as they arrived at a hospital not far away from the manor. At the same time, Arthur got out of the car from the other side and circled around the vehicle to her. When he saw her holding onto the car door and limping, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure you can walk?”

“Y–Yes, I am.” Sophia nodded, refusing to let Arthur carry her because she didn‘t want to draw attention from the people around her in the hospital. However, as soon as she took two steps forward, she was overwhelmed by the pain in her ankle.

“Say it if you need me to carry you,” Arthur smiled and said.

“No.” Sophia confidently rejected the man. Nevertheless, as she continued to take extra steps further, she suddenly crouched down because she could no longer make herself walk. At that moment, she looked up and asked, “Can you get someone to fetch me a stretcher to carry me? It‘s too painful, and I can‘t walk.”

In response, Arthur grunted and replied, “You‘re asking for it.” He then bent over and carried her to the hospital‘s lobby not long before he took her to the orthopedics department. After some diagnosis and examination, the doctor confirmed that she suffered from a ligament injury, which would heal in a matter of days with enough rest.

After that, Sophia returned to the manor with Arthur, who later carried her all the way to her bedroom.

When Sophia finally settled down on the couch, she gazed at the sweat that was covering the man‘s forehead and said in a sympathetic manner, “I‘m sorry for all the trouble that you had to go through.”

Arthur suddenly crouched down and looked at her in a serious manner. “Do we know each other? Who am I to you?”

In the face of the man‘s intimidating gaze, Sophia didn‘t flinch but instead gazed at him gently as she lied. “Y–Yeah, we do know each other. You‘re… my friend.” Knowing Arthur was about to get married, she decided she shouldn‘t create any more unnecessary trouble that could keep him preoccupied and disturbed. For that, she believed it was her destiny to be forgotten by Arthur, although she used to blame him for his heartlessness in abandoning her for another woman. While she realized there was no meaning in discussing the past since his wedding was in three days, Martha‘s words still reverberated in her ears. Therefore, she knew she must suppress her love for him in order not to ruin the marriage that Martha had arranged for her grandson.

“A friend? How did I end up having such a dumb friend like you?” Arthur grunted in an annoyed manner.

Nevertheless, Sophia wasn‘t angry at the man‘s sarcastic reply at all but instead kept her head down with a smile. “You‘re right. It is true that you‘re friends with a dumb lady like me. But, if you don‘t believe in me, you could check your phone and see if there are pictures of me in there.”

“Do you have pictures of me on your phone too?” Arthur asked.

“Yeah.‘ Sophia had a lot of pictures of them on her phone. In fact, she even had videos of them, as well as their flirtatious chat history, that could indicate that they used to be lovers.

“Show them to me.” Arthur extended his arm and asked Sophia for the pictures.

Panicky, Sophia hid her phone behind her back. “No can do. There are too many secrets in my phone that I can‘t show to you.”

Arthur curled his lips upward and asked, “What secrets? Why can‘t I see them?”
