Sophie knew how tiring acupuncture could be, but there was nothing she could do to help.

Half an hour later, Arius felt like he was about to collapse.

Regardless, the treatment was completed by then. He grabbed a few tissues to wipe the sweat off himself before sprawling on Sophie's bed.

Tristan couldn't help but furrow his brows when he saw that.

“He's dog-tired.” Sophie immediately came to Arius' defense. “Let him take a breather.”

“Fine,” Tristan muttered. I'm letting it slide just this once! There's no way I would ever let him get into my woman's bed again.

Once Arius had recovered, he stood up and said, “Support her and help her walk. It has been a while since she walked. It's about time to give it a try!”

Although it was bound to be hard, she had to start walking sooner or later. Otherwise, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

“Okay.”

With that, Tristan helped Sophie up. Yet, beads of sweat began to form on Sophie's forehead just as she tried to stand on her feet.

Tristan's heart broke, and he immediately let her lean on his body. “If you can't do it, it's okay. We can try again in a couple of days.”

In response, Sophie shook her head and took a deep breath. I'm a doctor myself, and I know this is the time to walk on my own. It's hurting badly, but at least I can feel my legs now. I must start training them immediately.

“I'm all right. Don't worry,” Sophie reassured before giving Tristan a bright smile.

Tristan felt even worse when he saw that. How can I not worry? She must be in a great amount of pain! I regret letting her and the others come here. Although it was an accident, none of this would have happened if we hadn't come.

Arius was watching from the side, and he could tell that Tristan was having trouble.

“If you can't bear to do it, let me help her instead,” Arius urged. We can't hold back now. She needs to get through the pain and be done with it.

“It's fine. I can do it,” Tristan answered. I feel extremely bad for her, but I'm going to do whatever it takes to help her. After all, I'm here. If I were in her shoes now, I would keep my mouth shut no matter how much pain I was in. I wish I was the one injured now.

Sophie gritted her teeth and kept going.

After she took just a few steps, her back was already drenched in sweat.

One could only imagine how much pain she was in.

“Let's take a break!” Arius finally said. At the end of the day, this is a gradual process.

Sophie only nodded and stopped when she heard what Arius said.

Tristan instantly carried her to the bed, sat her down, and wiped her face with a warm towel.

Arius was relieved to see how attentive Tristan was toward Sophie.

In the afternoon, Barney dropped by. Since there was nothing left for him to do there, he decided to fly back to Chanaea. “Stay here, Arius. Don't let anything else happen!”

There were a lot of things to deal with in the medical association in Chanaea, so they couldn't both be away.

“Okay. Don't worry, Dr. Smith. With me here, Sophie's legs are going to be fine!” Arius answered. Sophie will be as good as new in one month's time.

“Sure. I'm heading back now.” Barney was still concerned, but he reckoned everything was going to be all right. After all, Arius and Tristan would be looking after Sophie.

Arius then sent Barney to the airport.

“Dr. Smith, you'll be on your own back there. Be careful.” Arius was worried about Barney because a lot of people had their eyes on Barney due to his special identity. If I could go back with Dr. Smith, I definitely would!

“Don't worry about me! All you need to do now is take good care of Sophie.” Barney could only go back in peace knowing that Arius was with Tristan.

“Have a safe flight! Remember to call me when you arrive,” Arius reminded him. Since the plane was arranged by Mr. Tristan, everything should go smoothly.

“Okay. Go on! Go back to the hospital.”

Even though Barney told Arius to return to Sophie's ward, the latter only left after he watched the plane take off.

When Arius returned to Sophie's ward, Sophie was asleep while Tristan was watching her by her side.

Arius had never been fond of Tristan, but he grew to like Tristan after seeing how Tristan treated Sophie.

“Get some sleep! I'm here.” Arius felt that Tristan needed some rest.

“I'm fine. I can keep this up.”
