About three days later, Luke Land arrived at the Davis Family and found Sophie Smith.
His anxious expression startled her.
"What’s wrong, second brother?" Luke Land always seed nonchalant, but seeing him anxious suddenly made Sophie vaguely feel sothing was wrong.
"Third brother is in trouble."
"What? What happened to Asher Land?" At the ntion of Asher Land’s na, Sophie instantly beca restless. "Did his father do sothing to him again?"
"No..." Nathan Land is lying in a hospital bed right now, where would he find the chance to harm Asher Land again? But, if he said Asher Land had been feverish for two or three days due to a cold and was in a daze, would she believe it?
After all, in everyone’s eyes, Asher Land didn’t seem like that kind of person.
"Just tell what’s happening, quickly!" The urgency in Sophie’s mood was obvious.
"He caught a cold."
"Huh?"
"A severe cold, fever for three days, bedridden, has lost nearly half his life." Luke Land deliberately exaggerated.
"How could this happen?" Sophie murmured, "No, I have to go see him!"
This was precisely why Luke Land ca here. Seeing Sophie say this, he felt relieved; initially, he thought he would have to persuade her for a long ti before she would co back with him to the Land Family, but she was willing to go before he said anything.
Sophie turned around, only to be blocked by two people.
Eva Miller and Nolan Davis were both standing in front of her.
"What’s wrong?" She was sowhat anxious, now she just wanted to get to his side and see him, that’s all.
"Sophie, I’ll go with you, I don’t feel comfortable with you going alone." Eva Miller frowned, her eyes full of worry.
"Little Sophie, you can’t go." Nolan Davis also spoke up, though he opposed her actions.
"Mr. Davis, why can’t I go? Didn’t you hear what my second brother said? Asher Land is dying!"
Luke Land’s mouth twitched, three lines appeared on his forehead, did he say it like that?
"You know what kind of person Nathan Land is, don’t you? Last ti he hurt you like that, are you sure you still want to go?"
At Irene Morton and Asher Land’s engagent party, Nathan Land not only seriously injured Sophie but also intended to have her humiliated, that old man was truly terrifying.
"I’m sure." Sophie raised her head, looked him in the eye, "Mr. Davis, I’m begging you, let go."
"No way!" Nolan Davis spoke firmly, pulling her hand, trying to drag her upstairs.
She couldn’t match his strength, she struggled desperately, and Nolan Davis lost patience, picked her up, threw her onto the bed in the room, turned around, and locked the door before she could react.
"Mr. Davis!" Sophie pounded on the door, her voice carrying a hint of sob, "Open the door!"
"Little Sophie, listen, I’m not sure if he’ll be okay if you go, but I know for sure that you’ll be in trouble if you go!"
Therefore, he couldn’t let her leave and suffer.
She may not care for herself, but he does.
Sophie leaned weakly against the door, eyes closed, she couldn’t imagine him being weak enough to be bedridden.
She took a deep breath from the bottom of her heart, walked to the balcony.
With a last glimr of hope, she made a call to Nolan Davis.
The call went through, and Nolan Davis didn’t seem inclined to speak.
"Mr. Davis." Sophie paused, then continued, "If you don’t let out, I’ll jump down from the second floor..."
