Pursuing Her

Chapter 160 Infuriated

Just as the situation was caught in a stalemate, Arius came out from the operating room and walked toward them.

“Excuse me, madam, may I know what are you trying to do? I can see that you’ve been bothering my friend. Do you have anything personal against her? Because if you do, you might want to stop before anything happens.” Arius pulled Sophie away and stood face to face with Constance. Sophie stood behind him quietly as if Arius was a defensive mother hen.

Constance was frightened when she heard Arius’ warning. He was not someone she could afford to offend.

She slumped to the ground on her knees, begging Arius to treat his son.

“Dr. Gullifer, please! I’m sorry I was rude. Please forgive me. I really didn’t know you were the person I wanted to see. I would never say something so insolent if I knew it was you.” Arius and Constance were not expecting things to take such a dramatic twist.

A frown settled on Arius’ face as he thought about what Constance just said.

“Does who I am even matter here?” he asked. He was not interested in getting an answer. Instead, he turned toward Sophie and gestured at her to leave. “Come on. We should get some rest. It’s been a long day.”

“Sure.”

Both of them completely disregarded Constance’s request. To them, her going on her knees meant nothing.

Constance, on the other hand, got upset when she saw them leave. She clung to Arius’ trouser cuff.

“Dr. Gullifer, please! I beg you! Please save my son. You’re the only hope we have!” Arius was the last resort Constance had, so she did her best to implore the man to change his mind, but as a doctor, Arius was already desensitized to the inevitability of death.

“Let go,” he said curtly.

To him, there was no way he would agree to help her after what she did to Sophie. After all, Arius never once thought he was a benevolent saint who had the obligation to be kind to everyone.

He pulled back his leg and walked off with Sophie, leaving the distraught woman on the ground, speechless.

Her shoulders slumped in devastation as she watched them walk off. That was her last hope and losing it shattered her pride.

She could not believe that the person she once belittled turned out to be the same person she had to count on to save her son.
