Sonya's veins immediately popped after the call ended.
The woman remained boiling with anger even after she had reached the hospital. I've wanted to see Lucian marry Aubree for so many years, but now he tells me that he's planning to break up with Aubree? I won't accept that!
Only when Sonya reached the door to Aubree's room did she replace her anger with worry.
Curled up in bed, Aubree seemed to have fallen asleep, so Sonya tiptoed into the room to check on the young woman.
When Sonya noticed how much thinner Aubree had become, she was convinced that the poor woman had suffered because of the injury.
Even though Aubree was asleep, her eyebrows were tightly knitted, showing her discomfort.
Seeing Aubree like that only made Sonya feel more guilty. “I'm here, Aubree,” informed Sonya in a soft voice.
Aubree furrowed her eyebrows even more when she heard Sonya. Only after staring at the elderly woman for a while did Aubree regain her senses. “I didn't expect you to be here so soon, Mrs. Farwell.”
Sonya quickly stopped Aubree when the young woman tried to sit up. “It's okay. You don't have to get up.”
After gazing at Aubree's injured arm, Sonya inquired concernedly, “How's your arm? I can get someone to check it out for you.”
In response, Aubree pretended to feel her arm for a while before smiling apologetically at Sonya. “It doesn't hurt anymore. It seems I made a big fuss out of nothing. I'm sorry for troubling you at such a late hour, Mrs. Farwell.”
