Chapter 174 Isabella Has It, Sophia Should Have It Too
While wandering around, he ran into Cillian, who was also enjoying the scenery.
Then... they ended up hiding in the same cave, where they were trapped for two whole days.
They had wanted to find a chance to get out, but the rain just wouldn't stop, and they couldn't find an opportunity to leave.
Plus, there was no signal in the mountains at all, so they couldn't even call for help.
All they could do was wait here for someone to rescue them.
After starving for two full days, plus the rainstorm weather making the cave extremely damp, Cillian had already gotten sick.
Although his immune system was pretty strong, if no one came to rescue them soon, he'd probably really die here.
Just when he was feeling desperate, he heard footsteps at the cave entrance.
Seeing the beam of a flashlight, Sawyer's heart suddenly filled with hope.
But what he didn't expect was that the person who came wasn't Joshua, nor was it a rescue team, but... Sophia.
He stared wide-eyed in shock, thinking he was seeing things.
How could Sophia be here?
"Sawyer?" Sophia walked up to Sawyer step by step, without a trace of surprise in her eyes.
Her gaze swept over Sawyer, and seeing he wasn't injured, she let out a sigh of relief.
"What? Surprised to see me?"
Sophia met Sawyer's shocked eyes, and couldn't help but find it a bit funny.
Sawyer opened his mouth, his feelings complicated.
To be honest, he'd only met Sophia once or twice.
Shortly after Sophia was brought back to the Brown Villa, he'd taken on a role and come to Vast Mountain for filming.
As for what had happened at the Brown Villa over the past two months, he knew nothing about it.
Although Sawyer had known for a while that Sophia was his biological sister, Sawyer still felt a bit awkward about it.
After all, over the years Sawyer had given all his affection to Isabella, and after Sophia appeared, he didn't know for a moment how to treat her.
Fortunately, he spent relatively little time at home, and only knew that although Sophia appeared well-behaved and sensible on the surface, she had actually bullied Isabella behind the scenes.
So Sawyer had a very bad impression of Sophia.
He never would have thought that Sophia would come here.
He glanced at the pouring rain outside the cave, his expression darkening as he scolded in a low voice, "You shouldn't have come here. How could Mom, Dad, and big brother let you act so recklessly?"
Sophia paused, her lips slowly curving into a mocking smile.
It seemed Sawyer didn't know yet that she'd already cut ties with the Brown family.
Sophia gave him a meaningful look, said nothing more, and instead found a corner to sit down. She took compressed biscuits and water from her bag and tossed them in front of him. "Get your strength back. You probably haven't eaten in a long time."
Sawyer: "..."
Sawyer looked at the things thrown in front of him, and at Sophia's cold, indifferent expression, and suddenly felt like he'd punched cotton.
He frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Sophia's attitude.
No wonder Flynn said Sophia was completely uncultured - she really had no manners at all.
But then thinking about how Sophia had grown up in the countryside and had never been exposed to high society etiquette and rules, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
If she hadn't gotten lost all those years ago, Sophia should have grown up pampered and spoiled by everyone in the Brown family, just like Isabella.
Forget it...
She was still young.
He wouldn't hold it against her.
When he got home, he'd have Mom and Dad hire a few etiquette teachers for Sophia.
Whatever Isabella had, Sophia should have too.
More accurately, everything Isabella had now should have been Sophia's.
Although Sophia had a bit of a temper, it didn't matter. As long as someone guided her properly, she would definitely become reasonable.
He lowered his eyes, picked up the compressed biscuit from the ground, tore open the packaging, and wolfed it down.
Although the Brown family wasn't a top-tier wealthy family, they had all the proper etiquette and upbringing.
So even though Sawyer ate urgently, he still didn't look messy.
After eating and drinking his fill, Sawyer let out a satisfied sigh and slowly raised his eyes to look at Sophia.
Sophia was tilting her head, checking Cillian's condition.
But... how could Sophia possibly know medicine?
Could it be she wanted to take advantage of Cillian?
Was Sophia perhaps a fan of Cillian?
Thinking this might be possible, Sawyer's heart jumped.
He cleared his throat and reminded her, "Sophia, the person next to you is the entertainment industry's top star Cillian, with countless fans. You should... be careful."
Sawyer knew girls had strong self-esteem, so he spoke as tactfully as possible.
Sophia blinked, then let out a cold laugh. She ignored him and instead took a fever-reducing pill from her bag.
Cillian was unconscious, his jaw clenched tight, his brow furrowed into a knot, as if he were enduring great pain.
Sophia frowned slightly. Her fair, slender hand grabbed his chin and applied a bit of force to pry Cillian's mouth open.
Then she quickly shoved the pill into his mouth.
Witnessing all this, Sawyer looked confused. What was Sophia doing?
Wasn't Sophia a fan of Cillian? Why was she being so rough with her idol?
Had he guessed wrong?
Before he could think further, Sophia tossed a pill over to him.
Sawyer instinctively raised his hand to catch it. Looking at the dark pill in his hand, he asked in confusion, "What's this?"
"Fever medicine. Take it first." Sophia's tone was cold.
She didn't have any good feelings toward anyone in the Brown family.
Although Sawyer wasn't particularly annoying, she didn't plan to have any more involvement with anyone from the Brown family.
"Fever medicine? This... you're not trying to trick me, are you? This dark thing - isn't it chocolate?" Sawyer brought the pill to his nose and sniffed it, and it really wasn't chocolate.
The pill gave off a bitter smell, mixed with a faint fruity wood fragrance.
"You probably have a fever too, right? Just not as serious as Cillian's. If you trust me, take it. This medicine has no side effects."
Sophia's expression remained calm, and the look she gave Sawyer held no warmth or attempt to please.
Sawyer glanced at Cillian, bit his lip, and still swallowed the pill.
He closed his eyes tightly with an expression of heroic sacrifice, thinking that if the medicine tasted too bad or had no effect at all, he'd just pretend.
That Sophia had come surprised him.
She'd rushed over through danger to save him - as a girl, that wasn't easy. He shouldn't discourage her.
But unexpectedly, the medicine didn't taste bad at all. On the contrary, it melted in his mouth.
About ten minutes later, Sawyer noticed his body starting to change.
His body, which had been cold as if placed in an ice cellar, finally felt warm currents flowing through it, and soon a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His body was rapidly getting better.
