Sophie Smith found Young Master Land’s narcissism incredibly annoying and exasperating.
"You..." Sophie was just about to retort, when the head of the orthopedic department who operated on James Smith came over.
"Hurry up and settle the unpaid surgery fee. Can’t believe you’re dragging your feet over five thousand bucks!"
Sophie didn’t understand why he was saying this. She had borrowed money from that nurse to pay the surgery fee in full, so why was he still demanding it from her?
"I told Nurse Quinn about borrowing the two thousand from her..."
"That money has been refunded to her. Someone like you, unreliable. Do you even have the ability to repay what you borrowed? Do you?"
Sophie was completely baffled, unable to react for a moment.
"Shut up!" Asher Land roared angrily, sending a chill down Sophie’s spine as she turned her startled gaze back to him.
"Who... who are you?" The man’s face turned pale instantly; Asher’s aura was overwhelmingly strong. Even his normal speech carried a sense of intense pressure, let alone an outburst of anger.
"It’s none of your business who I am. Dare to mess with my woman, then you better pack up and get ready to go home."
"I’ve worked here for eleven years, you... you just say ’leave’ and I go?" The man’s words became somewhat stuttered.
"If you’re still working here tomorrow, I’ll write my name Asher Land backward." He sneered slightly.
"Asher... Asher Land! Golden Era Consortium..." The man muttered with his mouth agape, looking somewhat ridiculous as he glanced fearfully at Sophie. Sophie simply turned her head away indifferently.
"Doctors like you, with no morals, serve no purpose staying on? Relax, I’ll make sure you hit the news headlines tomorrow."
Asher Land was like an executioner who could easily destroy everything around him.
For instance, the man in front.
Sophie bypassed the man who was trembling with fear and headed directly towards James’s ward, relieved that Asher didn’t follow.
It only took two short minutes for Sophie to emerge from the ward, followed by the piercing shrieks of a woman.
"Who told you to cry crocodile tears here, pretending to be kind-hearted? Get as far away as possible and don’t come back. You’re truly disgraceful, let me tell you our small temple cannot house a big Buddha like you..."
Charlotte Harrison’s sharp words reached Asher’s ears, causing his face to gradually darken.
He took a long stride towards the source of the voice.
"Don’t!" Sophie grabbed his arm.
She knew exactly what he was going to do.
Therefore, she couldn’t let her end up like the man from earlier.
He raised an eyebrow, "Real mom?"
A real mom, how could she be so vicious to her? She wholeheartedly wanted what’s best for this family, yet others constantly wanted to drive her away.
He didn’t know how she made it through today, but seeing what she’d been through earlier, he knew she had a tough day.
"Come, go back with me."
But wasn’t this supposed to be her home?
"You know, I don’t even dare hope she’ll accept me. I just wish she wouldn’t reject me or drive me away." Tears blurred her vision as she lowered her head in pain.
At this moment, she felt abandoned by the world.
