Chapter 12 Stay Away From My Boyfriend

more repulsive than this. Don’t let a piece of trash affect your mood.”“Queenie, did she just call us trash?”“D*mn, she’s so arrogant. I’ve never seen anyone this shameless.”“Queenie, you must keep an eye on your boyfriend. Sophie really has the capability to seduce men.”Queenie lightly clenched her fists. No. I can’t let Sophie stay in Jipsdale. It’s too risky.“Don’t worry! She won’t be smug for long. My boyfriend will never fall for such a sl*t!”“Soph, let’s go have some food! It’s the last class anyway.”“Okay.”“Soph, what would you like to eat?”“Anything is fine for me.”Ysabelle brought Sophie to a pasta shop that she frequented.“I really enjoy the pasta here, but my parents never allowed me to eat it.” Ysabelle’s family constantly placed numerous restrictions on her because of her bad health, which dated back to her early years as a child.“Can your body handle it?” Sophie looked at Ysabelle.“It’s okay. It’s just a bowl of pasta.” Ysabelle insisted. Nobody was following her that day. Naturally, she had to seize the chance to enjoy her favorite food.The two went in and found a table. Then, Ysabelle ordered two servings of pasta.After having their fill, they went for some milkshakes. When it was almost time, the two planned to take a taxi back to school.However, after walking for a while, Sophie realized something wasn’t right. Her stomach was hurting badly.When Ysabelle saw Sophie’s pale face and the sweats beaded on her forehead, the former was shocked.“Soph, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”“I’m fine.”Sophie immediately squatted down, trying to ease the pain in her stomach.Ysabelle squatted down as well.“Soph, what should we do? What’s wrong?” Ysabelle had always been well protected by the Lombard family and never had any of such experience.“I’m okay. Take me to the hospital.” In the past five years in Horington, Sophie was always alone and used to handling her problems by herself most of the time.Upon hearing that, Ysabelle took Sophie to the hospital immediately.“Doctor, what’s wrong with her? Is she going to die?”“Miss, please wait outside. We’ll examine your friend.”“Soph—”Looking at Ysabelle’s frightened state, Sophie, lying on the stretcher, worried about her.“I’ll be fine. Go wait outside.” Even at that critical moment, Sophie was unusually calm.After the doctor’s examination, the doctor got the nurse ready for surgery immediately.Ysabelle cried when she heard that Sophie was about to have surgery.She grabbed Sophie’s hand and said, “Soph, what are we going to do? Please don’t die!” Why do you need surgery?Watching Ysabelle in a sobbing mess, Sophie couldn’t help but laugh.“It’s fine. It’s just a minor surgery.”“Should I inform your parents?”“I don’t have any parents.”In fact, her parents think she would be better off dead! The only person who cared about her was her grandfather, Josiah.However, Josiah was old, and she didn’t want him to worry.“Go to class. I’ll be all right.”The nurse took Sophie to the operating room, and Ysabelle followed.When the doors to the operating room closed in front of her, Ysabelle was shaking from anxiety.She immediately took out her phone and called Tristan.Tristan was in the middle of hosting a meeting when he received the call, and he hung up the phone when he saw Ysabelle’s name on the caller ID.However, Ysabelle called again.Tristan frowned. What is going on? Why is she calling me so persistently?As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Ysabelle crying. “Uncle Tristan, what should I do? Sophie is dying.”“What?” Tristan stood up from his seat at once.The people who attended the meeting were the executives of the company. When they saw Tristan’s expression, none of them dared to make a sound.“Where are you? I’ll be right there.” Ysabelle was constantly sobbing on the phone, and he couldn’t tell what was happening.Ysabelle calmed down a little after knowing that Tristan was coming over.“Today’s meeting ends here.” As he finished, Tristan left the executives looking at each other and immediately drove to the hospital.When Ysabelle saw Tristan’s arrival at the hospital, she cried even louder.“Uncle Tristan, what should we do?
