Chapter 56: You're still smiling? I'm worried sick.
"So, it was you at that time?"
Over here in the hospital room, Sophia sipped a glass of water that William poured for her, heard William say that it was his friend's clinic, and realized that the person who was in that room at that time was him.
"It was me, I'm sorry for, at the time, hurting you, I guess."  William was blaming himself afterward.
He didn't have a light hand at the time, so he must have hurt her to make her pass out.
Sophia waved her hand, not thinking, "It's not because of you, it's because I wouldn't have been able to carry it for long."
Now that we're on the subject, it's only natural for William to ask her why she's hurt.
Sophia knew he would ask and had already thought of an excuse ahead of time, "It's nothing, it's just that I got into a fight with someone and lost, the other party was outnumbered and I was outnumbered, so it's normal to get beaten up."
"Fight?"  William's brows furrowed.
Sophia nodded frantically, "Yeah, you know, I've always been a person who likes to see what's right, it's just that I didn't win this time, it's a bit humiliating."
"Sophia,"  William looked into her eyes and suddenly said, " Are you, really, a time traveler?"
"Of course, why else would I be here?"  Sophia had a look of that goes without saying.
But seeing that he was still skeptical, Sophia made it up as she went along, "Don't look at me as a time traveler, but I actually live in reality as well, and I'm a human being as well, so since it's a reality, there are all sorts of things that happen, so you don't have to find it strange."
William was actually getting suspicious, but Sophia didn't want to talk about it, so he wouldn't ask.
As much as Sophia wanted to find a chance to tell him the truth, she knew that it wasn't the right time to tell him just now, just by the way he was acting.
He was blaming himself so much for just accidentally moving against her, if he knew that he had nothing to do with the reason why she got hurt, then he wouldn't be blaming himself to death.
"Can I help you with anything?"  William was eager to do something for her.
Sophia smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, the police are here, they've already been arrested."
That was something Sophia wasn't lying about.
And although William didn't say anything on the surface, no one knew what was in his heart.
"I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, again, in the first place."  Sophia thought about it, but still felt the need to apologize to him, not to mention, he went through those things after that ......
William shook his head, "Don't say things like sorry, you'll never be sorry."
"Are you that sure? What if I cheat on you one day?"  Especially, since she was already lying to him right now.
William gazed at her with a slight smile, "And that must be if I want to."
By implication, he knew she was lying to him?
"Ahem."  Sophia coughed lightly, not moving to change the topic, "About Sean-"
Just as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Sophia regretted it, what a pot calling the kettle black!
But as far as William was concerned, it had been six years since the incident, and there was nothing bad to talk about.
"Since you would ask, it means you know all about it, to Sean, I will always be indebted to him, and to Jeseni, I'm sorry I couldn't protect them at the time."  William said casually picking up an apple and finding a knife to peel it for her.
Sophia looked at him, still comforting, "Everyone owes something to someone, you mustn't blame yourself."
"Well, don't beat yourself up."  William handed her the peeled apple, drew a paper towel to wipe the knife clean, he said, "Just recently looking back, at that time, I was indeed too young, if I were to deal with it now, I would not have caused this result."
"People just keep growing up, you've done well."  Sophia did not mince words in praising him.
William Waner smiled, "Well, thanks."
Sophia was hit again.
The killing power of gentleness is already great, and when you add a gentleman with politeness, it's a sure-fire way to properly charm thousands of girls!
"Sean has a brother."  William suddenly said.
Sophia froze for a moment, "Isn't he alone and unsupported? Why does he have a brother?"
"When his brother was eight years old, he was adopted by a couple who couldn't have children, so he was the equivalent of someone else's child, and Sean had nothing to worry about but to support himself."
Sophia asked, "So what happened to his brother?"
"The couple had it later, adopted is no match for biological after all, he was out stealing and robbing with a gang by the time he was thirteen."
"How do you know about him?"  Sophia couldn't help but be curious.
The corners of William's mouth always hung with a touch of curvature as he said, "He robbed me."
Stealing from him, William, wasn't that the equivalent of pulling hair out of a tiger's head.
"He looks so much like Sean that the first time I saw him, I thought I saw Sean."
William felt at the time that it was not a coincidence, and as expected, when he checked afterward, it was really Sean's brother, named Eric.
William didn't want him to go astray and follow in Sean's footsteps, so he supported him to go to school, and now he's in high school with good grades.
"That's quite good, and a good result."  Sophia lamented, and Sean would be relieved if he knew.
However, speaking of Sean, Sophia thought of the culprit, the scumbag named Thomas!
She asked William, "Is Thomas still in jail?"
"He was sentenced to life in prison, and for the rest of his life, until he dies, he'll have to spend it behind bars."
Thomas' crimes were far worse than they thought, and William had found more evidence of his murderous crimes at the time before sending him to prison.
"Are you sure?"  As far as Sophia knew, Thomas had gotten out of jail in 1978, the same year.
William heard something in her words, and adhering to his near-blind trust in her, William said without hesitation, "I'll send someone to check it out."
"Make sure you check it out, no one can be sure, unless they see Thomas behind bars with their own eyes, that he is still in prison."  Sophia had counted on speaking plainly.
William, of course, could hear it, and he said, "You've come over here this time because of the possibility that Thomas might be a threat to me?"
"Well, you are in danger!"  Sophia cut in.
William laughed, and Sophia, seeing that he was still laughing, said ruefully, "You're still laughing? I'm getting worried sick."
The smile at the corners of William's mouth intensifies.
William wouldn't admit that he actually enjoyed her worrying about him so much, because, the only person who would worry about him was her ......
However, William didn't need her to worry about him right now.
Looking at the bruise on the corner of her mouth, William's eyes are darkened, he frowned, heartbroken and asked, "Still hurt?"
"It's fine, just this small injury, I have no problem getting out of bed - hiss!"  As a result, just as she finished her sentence, she accidentally pulled the wound, and it hurt so much that she showed her teeth, she really was too feisty.
William was shocked by her.
The amplitude of getting up was too big, knocking over the water cup that was placed on the bedside table, which fell on the floor with a crisp clatter.
William, however, didn't even look at it, his attention was all on Sophia and he was nervous at the moment, "Is everything okay?"
"Boss!"
It was Mark, who heard the sound of breaking glass outside and was startled, he pushed the door open with a bang and came in in a panic!
