Chapter 12: Not the Same Miss Reed

In the following days, Hugo scattered his resume across the internet, but not a single company was willing to employ him. Simply because he was Hugo Reed, Elizabeth's son. Hugo was deeply disheartened, and had become quite despondent in the past couple of days. Tina had been going back and forth to City Hospital to treat Sophia. After several days of acupuncture treatment, combined with her medication, Sophia's health had improved significantly. The toxins were gradually receding.

That day, as usual, Tina performed acupuncture on Sophia. Once finished, she packed up her acupuncture bag and said to Sophia, "From tomorrow on, we won't need to do acupuncture anymore. We'll start applying a medicinal ointment, which is crucial. It's going to be very painful, and there won't be any painkillers. You must endure it."

Sophia pursed her lips and then nodded solemnly, "Don't worry Miss Reed, I will endure it." She was determined not to worry those who loved her, no matter how painful it was.

Tina nodded in response and turned to Mrs. Brown to instruct, "Prepare some light food for her tomorrow morning and make sure she drinks plenty of water."

"Okay." Mrs. Brown didn't understand why she had so readily agreed to help Tina treat Sophia in secret from Jared, but over the past few days, she had clearly seen an improvement in Sophia's condition. She felt that perhaps Tina could indeed cure Sophia's illness. After Tina gave her instructions, she left.

Half an hour later, Jared, Nathan, and Hayden returned. Sophia was sitting by the window, watching cartoons.

"Jared, you're back?" As soon as Sophia looked up and saw Jared, her voice was filled with joy.

Jared pushed the wheelchair over and gently stroked her head, "How are you feeling today?"

"Really good! I feel like I'll be able to do things like normal people very soon," Sophia said with twinkling eyes and a cheerful smile. She was eager to share with Jared about Miss Reed treating her, but she had promised Miss Reed not to tell anyone else about her treatment.

Seeing her in good spirits genuinely relieved Jared. After a brief silence, he said to Nathan, "Go ask Ben if Sophia can be discharged!"

"I can't!" Sophia exclaimed in panic upon hearing this.
