Anything For Her

Chapter 104 Bridal Carry

mind their words.” Ysabelle was worried that the snide remarks would hurt her.Even though Sophie had nerves of steel, Ysabelle still sympathized with her upon hearing the comments.“Mmm-hmm. I’m not bothered by them. Besides, they were not wrong. I was the one who roughed up Willow,” she bravely admitted.“It was because of me, wasn’t it?” Ysabelle, too, felt that Willow had it coming.“I just can’t bear the sight of her. Anyway, let’s get back to class.” After Sophie helped Ysabelle back to the classroom, the fourth period began.Upon hearing the news of Willow being hurt, Yale and Charmaine rushed over.Both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Mason.Ever since Mason returned, his attitude toward Willow was colder than before, causing them to worry that their relationship had taken a turn for the worse.But now that he was by Willow’s side, it was a sign that he still cared for her.“Thank you, Mason.”Mason merely nodded before making way for them.“Willa, what happened? How did you get hurt?”“Mom, it’s Soph. I have no idea why she did this to me.”“What? Sophie? That’s audacious of her!” Yale bellowed. “What in the world is she trying to do?”“Dad, I’m as clueless as you are!”Willow put on an innocent look as she sneaked a glance in Mason’s direction, hoping to learn his thoughts about the matter.However, all she could see was a frown on his face.“Willow, I’m sure there must be a misunderstanding. I know Sophie isn’t capable of such a thing.”“Mason, why don’t you believe me? Are you saying that I’m making false accusations against her?” Willow was on the brink of tears. How can he not trust me?“I just think that she’s not a bad person.”“In that case, are you saying that I’m the one that’s bad?”Willow summoned her tears at will to cement her pitiable look.“All right. I’ll get to the bottom of the matter. You should rest at home for the next few days instead of going to school.”Feeling annoyed, Mason was in no mood to continue the topic.“Mason…”Willow felt indignant. Even though I have ended up in the hospital, he still refuses to stay by my side.“Willa, Mason has just returned to the country and probably has a lot on his plate. So, you shouldn’t get in his way.”Just as Yale spoke, he stood up to walk Mason out, leaving Charmaine and Willow in the ward.“Willa, was it really Soph?”Willow gave her mother a pained look. “Mom, what’s that supposed to mean? Do you also think that I’m framing Sophie?”“That’s not what I meant. I just don’t want both of you to ruin your relationship over a man.”“I’m not!” Willow was infuriated. Even my own mother doesn’t believe me.“Fine. Let’s just forget it. Going forward, don’t step on Sophie’s toes. Instead, focus your efforts on staying by Mason’s side.”Speechless, Willow was further outraged by her mother’s words. Still, she wouldn’t dare get on Sophie’s nerves anymore.Recalling the fearless look on Sophie’s face, Willow believed that the former would really carry out her threats to kill her.By the time Mason returned to his office, he had lost the mood to work.He then drove aimlessly around Jipsdale until it was five. Eventually, he still failed to keep control of himself and headed toward Jipsdale Premier High.He waited inside the car, feeling the need to have a proper talk with Sophie, as they didn’t have the opportunity to do so the last time.Finally, after three complex experiments, Aaron dismissed Bailey and Sophie from class.When both of them came out for dinner, Mason’s car was right in front of them.“What’s wrong?” Bailey couldn’t help but ask when Sophie stopped in
