Anything For Her

Chapter 690

Chapter 690 Unlucky

“Arius, this is my turf,” Nicholas warned coldly. He couldn't bear to lay a finger on Sophie, but he couldn't say the same about Arius.

“Sophie, did you see that? He has the nerve to threaten me!” Arius immediately went over to sit on Sophie's bed.

She shot a look at Arius.

Can't Arius read the room? Nicholas is a lunatic. There's no telling what he'll do if Arius gets him all riled up.

“Get a good rest. Just tell me if you need anything,” Nicholas said before leaving the room.

“Sophie, are you all right? Did he do anything to you?” Arius was a reckless man, but he cared a lot about Sophie.

“Don't worry. I'm all right.”

“I have to say, Nicholas is really smitten with you. Why don't you just accept both of them? That way, you won't be in a dilemma any longer,” Arius suggested.

Sophie was rendered speechless.

Is he for real?

“What? Am I wrong? He's obviously head over heels for you. Just accept him. There's no harm having one more man around,” Arius added.

Sophie refused to listen to Arius anymore.

“I think you should head back. You're just spewing nonsense here. Do you think you're of any help?”

“All right. I'll shut up. If it wasn't for you, do you think I'd want to come?” Arius retorted. He had never gotten along with Nicholas. Hence, he was risking his life coming here.

Yet, Sophie showed no gratitude for his help.

To make matters worse, she even gave him a disdainful look.

She didn't wish to pay further heed to him and said to Barney, “Dr. Smith, I still can't feel my legs.”

If her condition persisted, Sophie was afraid that she might never stand again.

Barney pushed Arius aside.

“Get away! Did you come all the way here to talk nonsense? You haven't done anything remotely helpful since you came here.”

All Arius had done was bicker with Nicholas.

Then, Barney examined Sophie's leg again.

“What do we do now? We have to get to the hospital right away, but Nicholas will never let us go back. You can only undergo surgery at the hospital. Besides, you have to go through an acupuncture treatment too,” Barney muttered.

There was simply no reasoning with a madman like Nicholas, especially when Sophie was in such a state.

Then again, it was not the time to fight Nicholas anyway.

That was the reason things were in such a terrible state.

“Arius, go tell Nicholas that Sophie has to undergo surgery right now. Otherwise...” Barney thought it was best to let Arius handle the hospital matter.

“Me again? Aren't you worried that the lunatic would murder me?” Nicholas was an extremely stubborn man. Once he had his mind set, it was difficult for anyone to change it.

“Are you going or not? Why are you yakking on? You've got to try everything you can do!” Barney retorted.

“All right. I'll go,” Arius mumbled helplessly.

Among the three of them, he was at the lowest of the social totem pole. Arius knew nobody would listen to what he said or care whether he lived or died.

Meanwhile, Barney was still examining Sophie's leg.

“Does it hurt?”

Sophie shook her head.

She wished it would hurt just so she could feel something. The absence of sensation was more frightening than any physical pain.

Barney furrowed his brows.

Right. The situation is dire. We have to get back to the hospital. The surgery equipment I need is all there.

Meanwhile, Arius had found Nicholas, and he felt somewhat intimidated by the man. After all, Nicholas was a cold-blooded killer.

“What's up with her?” Nicholas asked right away when he saw Arius.

Nicholas was only worried about Sophie's body. He couldn't care less about other people.

“Nicholas, I have to say that I really admire your tenacity. You've liked Sophie for so long.” Despite her never reciprocating your feelings. You're really a madman, falling for a woman just like that.

Nicholas remained silent.

He didn't wish to say a word to Arius, nor did he wish to suffer the latter's mocking words. He had the freedom to decide who he had feelings for.

“If you're here to talk nonsense, you may as well go back right now,” Nicholas said without batting an eyelid.

Arius was rendered speechless.

How heartless can he be? It's not like we've only started to know each other. Does he have to be this cold and ruthless?

“See, this is why Sophie doesn't like you,” Arius commented.
