Chapter 976: Paula Is Getting Married to Someone Else The following day.

Early in the morning, the house was alive with activity. Downstairs, Logan was instructing the butler to prepare gifts.

Jared approached him, curious. Logan, with an understanding look, explained, "The day of the wedding, the Reed family saved Sophia's life. Your parents are going to visit their son today, and it's only polite to bring something. You don't visit an injured person empty-handed."

Marie shared the same sentiment.

"A child is a child," she said. "In such a chaotic situation, they still stepped up to save Sophia and even got hurt in the process. Even if the parents don't say it, they must feel distressed. This is the kind of kindness we must remember for a lifetime."

Tina nodded in agreement. "Let's go together."

It just so happened that her uncle's destination was on the same route as the hospital.

Jared pulled Tina along for a quick breakfast. On their way out, he grabbed some of the prepared gifts, only to look up and see Sophia, dressed to the nines, bounding down the stairs enthusiastically.

Sophia noticed Jared staring at her and assumed her choice of dress was perfect. She beamed and asked, "Brother, doesn't my dress look good?"

Jared pinched the bridge of his nose and blocked her path. "Mom and Dad are going to the hospital. You can stay home."

Sophia pouted, upset. She ran to Marie and complained, "Mom, look at Jared! He's always picking on me. Yesterday, he wouldn't let me talk to Tina, and today, he won't let me go out. What did I do to deserve this?"

Marie shot Jared a sharp glare. "Why are you stopping Sophia? Zackary saved her life. Shouldn't she go and thank him in person?"

Asher, siding with his wife, grabbed his daughter and led her straight out the door without sparing Jared a glance.

Zackary had saved Sophia. How could she not go and thank him?

Jared was left speechless.

At the hospital, the arrival of Asher's family made the already small hospital room feel crowded. Marie, in particular, expressed her gratitude with great formality. Hugo, flustered and unsure how

to respond, stammered, "It was just a small gesture, really. There's no need to make such a big deal of it. Besides, our boy's tough-getting hurt is nothing to him."

Jennie chimed in with a smile, "That's right. Honestly, our Zackary and Sophia have met a few times before. They're practically friends. Of course, he'd help when needed."
