Chapter 131 She Will Not Go Back To Her Ex
“Why does it always come back to Sophie?” Constance was so angry that she was trembling. Yale and Charmaine showed up at that moment.
They both jumped in fear when they saw the blood on Willow. “Willow, are you okay? Are you hurt?” asked Charmaine in a concerned tone. When Willow replied by shaking her head, Charmaine asked, “Where’s Mason? What’s the situation now?”
“I don’t know. I honestly have no idea what is going on. Mason went to look for Sophie, and I couldn’t stop him, even though I tried. I don’t know what Sophie told him, but he acted as though he had gone insane.”
“Sophie… ugh, why is she always making a mess? Don’t worry, Mrs. Laird. I will not let Sophie get away with this if anything were to happen to Mason,” growled Yale. If he could, he would strangle Sophie then and there.
“Do you really think I will let Sophie go now that things have progressed to this extent?”
What does he mean by “if”? Mason has been sent to the hospital! Something has already happened!
The surgery took hours, and the sun had already risen by the time it was over.
When the doctor exited the operating theatre, Constance went to him right away and asked, “How is my son?”
Willow was staring nervously at the doctor as well.
“The surgery was a success, but we don’t know if there will be any complications yet. We’ll have to further observe his condition. His legs are severely injured, though, so he might have trouble walking in the future,” replied the doctor. He had already done everything he could, and all that was left was for the patient to fight for himself.
“What? He might have trouble walking… Oh no, Doctor, please. You have to save him. He is my only son, and I can’t let anything bad happen to him.” Constance could not accept the news of her son being crippled. Mason had always been her pride and joy, so she would not let anything bad happen to him. “Please, you have to help him. I will pay you however much you want.”
“We’ve done everything we can. He will have to work hard during rehab. Only then can we determine how things will turn out.”
At that stage, no one could guarantee what would happen in the end.
It was already two in the afternoon when Mason woke up.
Constance, Willow, Yale, and Charmaine had been staying guard beside him the entire time.
They didn’t sigh a breath of relief until they saw him waking up.
“Mason, how do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere? I’ll go get the doctor for you right away,” said Willow in a worried tone.
Mason didn’t reply. He looked as though he was at peace.
“What’s wrong, Mason? Are you hurt? Talk to me,” requested Constance who was teary-eyed at that moment.
“Just leave. I want to be alone.”
Mason wasn’t in the mood to listen to what others had to say. The only person he wanted to see was Sophie, but there was no way she’d show up.
Charmaine could tell that Constance was on the verge of losing her temper, so she quickly dragged her away. “Mrs. Laird, let’s leave for now. Mason needs to rest.”
Yale shot a look at Mason.
The former kept thinking about what the doctor said earlier. Does that mean Mason won’t be able to walk properly in the future? If that is the case, what will happen to Willow?
That night, Willow returned to school. When she saw Sophie acting as though nothing had happened, her fury overwhelmed her.
Willow ran to Sophie. She no longer feared anything anymore.
“Sophie Tanner, you jinx. You’re the reason Mason is lying in the hospital bed right now. He might never be able to walk again! People like you should be dead. You should’ve died in Horington and never come back,” roared Willow. Her emotions were running wildly at that time.
She didn’t know if she would still want to marry him if he became a cripple.
Sophie shot a look at Willow.
“What does his injury have to do with me? What do you mean when you say I’m the reason this is happening? It’s not as though I am the driver who hit him,” replied Sophie before she mercilessly dissed. “Wait, didn’t you say that you love him no matter what? Isn’t this perfect for you? You can prove your love to him now.”
“You…” growled Willow. She was infuriated. “What are you so happy about? Do you really think the Laird family will let you get away with this now that he is hurt?”
The Laird family of Jipsdale was ridiculously powerful, both in terms of economic prowess and political influence. They were much more powerful than the Tanner family.
“They don’t have what it takes to make me pay.”
“You…” growled Willow. She didn’t expect Sophie to be that arrogant.
Sophie was too busy to deal with Willow, so she turned around to leave right away. How she swirl her hair, the way she moved…. everything about her was cool.
“Mr. Mason of the Laird family got into a car accident yesterday, Mr. Tristan.”
Felix came rushing as soon as he heard the news.
“Okay,” replied Tristan. What does that have to do with me, though? Countless people get into accidents every day.
“Do you think Soph will feel bad for him?” asked Felix. Women are always self-sacrificing and tend to be too nice.
“What are you saying?”
“Nothing! It’s just… Mr. Mason has always liked Soph. Do you think they’d end up…?”
“No,” replied Tristan. He was quick to interrupt Felix.
“You’re that confident, huh?” said Felix. It was obvious he didn’t think that anyone could be certain of anything when it came to love.
“I trust Sophie, and there is no way she’d get back to her ex.”
Tristan believed that whatever happened between Sophie and Mason was in the past, and they couldn’t go back anymore.
“Okay, if you say so,” replied Felix. I envy Mr. Tristan so much. He is always so certain and confident. I wish I can be that confident, even when things between Ysabelle and me are still uncertain.
Mason’s mood had been unstable over the next few days. When he realized that he couldn’t move his legs, he became terrified.
At first, Constance assumed that the doctor was just a pessimist. She was certain that her son’s legs would recover.
As time passed, however, she realized just how grave the situation was.
She was also heartbroken to see how devastated Mason was about his injuries.
“Don’t give up, Mason. We’ll go overseas and hire the best doctor there is for you. I’m sure you’ll recover by then,” cooed Constance.
Truth was, she didn’t even want to imagine how bleak his future would be if he became a cripple.
“Mom, I want to talk to Sophie.”
When Mason finally calmed down, he made one request.
Constance turned pale immediately, and she looked so angry that it was as though her face had distorted.
“You won’t be in this state if it weren’t for her! Mason, why do you remain stubborn despite the situation? Sophie is nothing but a jinx, and I will never let her get close to you ever again!” roared Constance. If she could, she would kill Sophie right then and there. None of this would’ve happened if Sophie never returned from Horington.
“Mom, I have never asked for anything from you in the past. I’m begging you for once. Please help me.”
Constance had no choice but to back down when Mason said it that way.
“Fine. I’ll go and get her.”
That woman has never shown up even though it has been a while since Mason was in the hospital. Geez, she might be young, but her heartlessness knows no bounds.
Constance waited right outside Jipsdale Premier High for Sophie. She had to wait until the class was over before she saw Sophie.
“Go grab her for me. Do whatever is necessary if she refuses to come willingly,” ordered Constance. She didn’t care how it happened. All she cared about was getting what she wanted.
“Understood.” Two bodyguards made their way to Sophie and blocked her path.
Ysabelle stepped forward as soon as she saw those two burly bodyguards. She sounded as though she had her guard up when she asked, “Who are you two? What do you want?”
“Ms. Tanner, please come with us.”
