Chapter 563

Marian had driven herself to the hospital, not to visit anyone or to seek medical treatment for real. She just needed a doctor's note to back up her sick leave, proof that she wasn't just skiving off work.

Her fear of Brandon didn't allow her to be careless.

But Augus was clearly not the same.

He was just there to find her, and somehow dragged to the hospital with her.

Now he was loitering outside the emergency room, didn't rush inside; instead, he waited for her right at the entrance.

Marian was concerned about him knowing "where Sophia is," but she dared not ask directly-fearing that there was a trap for her.

After the initial shock of potentially knowing Sophia's whereabouts, she calmed down completely. Sophia hadn't pushed Sophia. So regardless of whether Augus truly knew where Sophia was, whether Sophia was dead or alive, injured or disabled, it had nothing to do with her.

She needn't worry about Sophia coming back alive to accuse her of anything.

She had nothing to do with this matter.

Marian brainwashed herself into thinking that, even feeling a slight relief that Sophia's return might diminish Brandon's intent to kill her.

She was adept at convincing herself and aligning her thoughts logically.

Compared to Brandon wanting her dead, the details of whether Sophia was dead or not seemed trivial.

Her biggest mistake was underestimating Sophia's place in Brandon's heart and Brandon's intelligence and acuteness.

During the brief walk from the parking lot to the ER, Marian successfully convinced herself, no longer feeling hurried. Therefore, upon seeing Augus waiting for her at the ER entrance, she simply gave him a cool glance and breezed past him to the nurse's station to register for an emergency consult with internal medicine, as if she was really there for a check-up.

Her change of tack made Augus frown.
