Chapter 23: Miss Sophia, Your Face

In the VIP ward, Tina took out the prepared ointment and asked Mrs. Brown, "Did you make sure she hasn't eaten or drunk anything from yesterday until now?"

"Nothing at all," Mrs. Brown replied. "Our Miss Sophia is very sensible; even though she was terribly hungry, she refused to eat a bite."

Tina nodded and then turned to Sophia, trying to soften her tone, "We're going to start applying the ointment. You must hold on, and if it really hurts, you can bite me." Sophia was nervous, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Miss Reed, I will persevere."

Without saying anything more, Tina had Sophia take off her clothes to begin the application of the ointment. It was applied from her face all over her body.

At first, the cool sensation was quite comfortable for Sophia, who gave Tina a sweet smile. "Miss Reed, are you trying to scare me? This ointment feels very comfortable... Ah!"

Her words were cut off abruptly as Sophia suddenly screamed, but remembering something, she immediately closed her mouth. Her body covered in the ointment and shaking uncontrollably, began to sweat profusely, soaking the ointment. Sophia was in so much pain she couldn't speak and dared not scream, resorting to biting the pillow instead.

Seeing her distress, Mrs. Brown's heart ached. "Miss Sophia, are you alright?"

"I, I... No, no problem... just a bit... painful!" Sophia managed to gasp out, feeling as if all her strength had been sapped.

Mrs. Brown noticed Sophia's condition was seriously wrong and quickly asked Tina, "Miss Reed, there won't be any problems with my Miss Sophia, right? She seems to be in so much pain she can barely breathe."

She was worried; if anything happened to Sophia, how would she explain it to Young Master Jared? Should she call him?

Tina glanced at Sophia's condition and asked softly, "Can you still hold on?"

"Miss Reed, I... Ah!" Sophia couldn't endure the pain any longer, rolling on the ground, her cries of agony filling the ward.

Fortunately, this ward was on the top floor of the hospital, where few people roamed and the soundproofing was good.
