Seeing the man in front of her, Sophia panicked.

“You, why are you here?” She asked helplessly. “You saved me?”

“I went out to do something and happened to see you faint, so I brought you to the hospital,” the man said calmly.

James looked at Sophia with concern and a hint of doubt.

If he hadn’t sent someone to investigate Sophia’s background, he wouldn’t have thought that the woman in the coffee shop, who was neither servile nor overbearing, had suffered so much.

Looking at Sophia’s panicked face, James sighed and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. The hospital is very safe.”

After saying that, he could not help but add, “In the future, if you encounter such a thing again, call me immediately.”

James felt that although the two of them were getting their marriage certificate, they were still husband and wife in name. He should still care about Sophia’s personal safety.

Looking at James’s sincere face, Sophia’s cold heart, which had been broken by her biological father, seemed to not be so hard anymore. She felt a little bitter, but she held back her tears.

Showing weakness to others would only increase the bargaining chips for others to hurt themselves.

This was the lesson Sophia had learned from her blood and tears since she was young.

Seeing that Sophia did not answer, James did not mind. He turned around and called the doctor to help Sophia do further examinations.

After the doctor arrived, he looked at Sophia and James with a gossipy look before examining Sophia’s body.

A moment later, the doctor said, “These swelling are just superficial wounds. It’ll be fine after you recuperate slowly. The fainting is mainly caused by low blood sugar and excessive emotions. Take care to rest later. It’s not a big problem.”

“When can she be discharged?” James asked before the doctor could finish.

“What’s wrong? Are you in a hurry to be discharged? Do you plan to take it home and take care of it yourself?” The doctor’s tone was full of ridicule.

James glared at the doctor and continued to ask, “Is there anything else I should pay attention to?”

The doctor looked at James as if he was watching a good show. He smiled and said, “Do you plan to accompany her 24 hours a day? Don’t worry, the nurses in our hospital have all received professional training! They will take good care of Mrs. Johnson.”

“But speaking of which, Madam, the injuries on your body don’t seem to be from a fall. Do you need me to call the police for you?”

“No need.”

“No need!”

Sophia and James said at the same time.

Sophia was a little embarrassed.

James coughed dryly and said coldly, “”o what a doctor should do. Don’t interfere with other things.”

“Look! Now, he turned hostile! I wonder who was in a hurry to see me just then?”

“Shut up!” The doctor wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by James.

The doctor also tactfully stopped talking.

Sophia felt a little bad.

She could only endure the pain and force a smile. “Doctor, thank you.”

Then, he looked at the two of them with his big eyes and asked, “You guys know each other, right?”

The doctor quickly said, “Of course I know him. This cold-faced guy is my cousin. I’m his cousin, Charlie Bicky. This hospital is still…”

“Alright, go do your work.” Poor Charlie was once again stopped by James.

Helplessly, she could only turn around and walk out of the ward.

It couldn’t be helped. Since young, this cousin had always been a cold and heartless guy.

He did not want to be taught a lesson by his cousin.

After Charlie left, James realized that he had lost his composure just now, so he made an excuse to get the medicine and walked out of the ward.

As soon as he walked out of the ward, James dragged Charlie into the office.

“Don’t expose my identity in front of her, let alone our family background.” James looked at Charlie coldly.

Although Charlie felt that his cousin was cold, he was not afraid of him.

Hence, he met his cousin’s gaze and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t say a word. I’ll just say that when she fainted, you almost died of anxiety.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? We are helping each other and getting what we need.” James frowned.

“Hmm? Just helping each other and getting what you need? This is the first time I’ve seen you so concerned about a woman.”

“I’ve never seen you like this even when Daphne was sick.” Charlie pursed his lips.

“Daphne has nothing to do with me. Don’t keep mentioning her in front of me.” James said coldly.

Charlie sighed. “What a heartless fellow. Miss Daphne has been saying that she wanted to marry you since she was young. Now, you’re not even letting me mention it.”

Before Charlie could finish his sentence, James walked into the ward.

Because he seemed to see a figure flash into Sophia’s ward.

Sophia could not be hurt again under his watch.

In the ward, Sophia’s eyes flashed with endless coldness when she saw Jessica suddenly appear.

“How did you find this place?” She asked. “What are you doing?”

When Jessica’s eyes fell on the wounds all over Sophia’s body, she could not hide the gloating in her eyes.

“What are you talking about, sister?” She smiled proudly. “It’s easy for me, Jessica, to find my sister. Daddy is beating me up with a stick. I’m so worried about my sister.”

“Oh, Sister, Dad froze your card. You don’t know yet, do you? This hospital is not an ordinary hospital. If you can’t afford the medical fees, kneel down and beg me. I can consider giving you some alms.”

“You don’t have to worry about her matters.”

Sophia’s mind was still in the process of Albert freezing her card, so she didn’t hear what Jessica said.

However, James heard it clearly.

Before he even entered the ward, his voice could be heard.
