Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2157

"Which hospital? I'm on my way."

Sophia gave him the address, trying to ease his worry, "Don't panic, I'm much better now. Just drive safely, okay?"

"Alright."

Sophia hung up, her face lighting up as she turned to Estelle. "Robin's coming over."

"That's good to hear," Estelle said with a warm smile, though her eyes briefly flicked to Jason outside, feeling a tinge of sadness.

Jason, holding his own jacket, spoke up, "Since Robin's on his way, I guess it's my cue to leave."

He was afraid he might not be able to hold back from punching Robin if he stayed. But seeing how Sophia wasn't blaming him, even looking forward to his visit, what right did he have to interfere?

Sophia teased, seeing Jason ready to leave, "I know you're a busy man. Go on. Robin can keep me company. Don't let us keep you."

Jason's face visibly darkened.

Estelle and Jonathan exchanged a knowing look, both feeling a bit sorry for Jason.

Turning to Sophia, Estelle reassured, "I'll stay and take care of you."

Jason nodded slightly, said his goodbyes to Jonathan, and without another look at Sophia, he strode out of the room.

Once Jason left, Estelle moved closer to the bed, her voice soft, "You know, Jason stayed up all night keeping watch over you."

Sophia was momentarily stunned, suddenly recalling all the times he had stayed by her side through the night when she was ill, and a sense of guilt washed over her. "He shouldn't have troubled himself."

"He doesn't mind the trouble. But you talked about him like that just now. That's what really hurt him," Estelle said gently.

Sophia's guilt deepened. "You know I joke around, especially with Mr. Gilder. We've never held back. He's not actually mad, is he?"

"Of course not. Just butter him up a little later and all will be fine," Estelle said with a smile.

"When I'm better, I'll take him out to dinner with Robin."

Estelle thought to herself that might make things worse.
