“Mm,” Barney merely hummed in response and nodded lightly, without any denial.
“Dr. Smith, don’t you know that your honesty hurts me? How can you treat me like this?” whined Arius with a pitiful expression.
Am I being disregarded by Dr. Smith as his mentee?
“What does your being upset got to do with me? I only care about Sophie’s feelings. How other people feel is none of my business.”
Barney had always been a straightforward person. It was not as if Arius knew him for the first time.
“All right. It’s my fault for shooting myself in the foot!” Arius felt rather dejected. They don’t understand what it feels to lie in bed all day long and to be confined to this tiny ward!
Seeing how dejected Arius looked, Sophie could not help but feel pity for him.
“All right. Why don’t you stay for another three days? If your condition improves, I’ll allow you to be discharged. How about that?” Sophie made a deal with Arius.
Sophie had a soft heart for Arius, but she had to be stern for the sake of his health.
Arius was touched. “I knew this would happen. You’re the only person in this world who still cares about me. Not like someone who forgets about his old mentee after he has a new one. Hmph!” Arius then turned and side-glanced Barney.
Barney simply snorted in response to Arius’ accusation.
He did not care about how Arius thought of him.
Sophie was the most important person in his mind right now. Her future possessed infinite possibilities, and he could not wait to uncover her potential.
Just then, Georgina came to deliver Arius’ medication. She was not surprised to see Barney and Sophie there.
