Chapter 195 She Is the First in His Heart
Seeing the patient's pale face, Sophia nodded and reassured him, "It's nothing serious. I'll just prescribe some medicine for you."
The young man immediately nodded, took the prescription and stood up to leave. Then he paused, looking a bit embarrassed as he asked, "Will the medicine be too bitter? I have trouble with that."
"No, it won't," Sophia replied.
The man slowly breathed a sigh of relief, immediately thanked Sophia, then quickened his pace toward the pharmacy.
Residents from the town and countryside heard that Sophia was offering free consultations at the hospital, and many rushed over.
After a recent heavy rainstorm, they needed to prevent the flu from spreading, so the hospital specially distributed all the medicine Matthew had brought.
Patients who came with symptoms like fever or cold would receive a free box of medicine.
Watching the patients leave satisfied with their medicine, Alfonso was nearly moved to tears.
Looking at the patient who was practically fleeing, Sophia helplessly rubbed her forehead and glared reproachfully at Benjamin sitting beside her, "You scared my patient away."
"I didn't do anything. If he gets scared by just a look, he has no backbone at all," Benjamin said with disdain in his tone.
Sophia's lips twitched slightly, unable to find words to argue with him.
His gaze fell on people like a cold, sharp knife—who wouldn't be scared?
However, she didn't press the issue. She just looked up and waved at the long queue in the distance, "Next."
The person at the front was an elderly woman with gray hair, walking unsteadily with a cane, taking one step at a time. She sat down in the chair and shakily described her condition.
With age, elderly people's bodies often develop various problems.
Sophia asked briefly about the symptoms, then prescribed medicine.
This time, Benjamin was very quiet. If no one paid attention to him, he sat there like he was invisible.
But his posture was upright, without a trace of impatience.
After the old woman left, a young man came over. He wore black-framed glasses, had unusually pale skin, and heavy bangs covering his forehead. He looked nervous.
Holding his phone in one hand, he extended his other hand to Sophia, stammering, "I, I have a headache."
Sophia looked at his complexion and said slowly, "Your body is very healthy, you just lack exercise. As for the headache, it's probably from staying up late. Just make sure to rest properly."
She withdrew her hand and looked calmly at the man in front of her.
The man's grip on his phone tightened. Then, gathering great courage, he looked up at Sophia, "Can I add your contact information?"
The man glanced at her once, then quickly lowered his eyes again, speaking hurriedly, "I'm just worried that if I feel unwell in the future, I could consult you."
He seemed to be doing this for the first time, his palms sweating from nervousness.
Actually, he wasn't the only one who wanted Sophia's contact information, but the others hadn't mustered the courage. Now, seeing someone do what they dared not, they immediately turned their attention over.
Sophia looked at the person in front of her, finding it both amusing and helpless.
Before she could respond, Benjamin beside her moved.
He wrapped his arm around Sophia's shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, forcefully asserting his claim, "I'm her husband. Do you need to add my contact information? Whatever you want to discuss with my wife, you can tell me."
Benjamin's long, narrow eyes squinted slightly, his hawk-like sharp gaze staring directly at the young man.
The young man inexplicably felt a dangerous aura, his spine suddenly turning cold.
He looked at Benjamin, then shifted his gaze to Sophia. Seeing that she didn't resist Benjamin's embrace, he immediately understood their relationship.
Realizing what he had just done, his face couldn't help but turn red.
He quickly stood up from the chair, grabbed his phone and headed out, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you already had a boyfriend."
Sophia didn't catch this sentence clearly, but she could guess what he probably said.
Watching the man's panicked retreat, Sophia couldn't help but find it amusing, "What are you getting jealous about? You scared my patient away!"
"What kind of patient was that? He just wanted to use it as an excuse to add your contact information." Benjamin held Sophia tighter, his cold gaze sweeping over the people in line with a warning.
Those harboring little schemes were instantly frightened. They hurriedly looked away, wishing they could find a crack to hide in so Benjamin couldn't see them.
Sophia raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "How do you know what they're thinking so well? Have you used this method to add other women's contact information before?"
Benjamin froze for a moment, then took out his phone from his suit pocket and handed it to her, "My phone doesn't have any of those random people."
Sophia took the phone and looked through it. Whether it was messaging apps or contacts, they were all people she knew.
Inside were only people from the White family, his two assistants, and... her.
In the contacts, he had even added a capital "A" before her name, placing it at the very top.
Looking at the phone screen, Sophia felt a little happy inside, and the corners of her mouth lifted.
Her slender, fair fingers tapped on her name, "Who taught you this?"
"Chase."
Benjamin said flatly, "He said girls care most about their position in their boyfriend's or husband's heart."
Sophia's eyelashes fluttered slightly. The meaning was that she was first in his heart.
The people waiting to see the doctor were shocked by this sudden display of affection, and some of the elders couldn't help but laugh, "Doctor, your husband really cares about you!"
Being stared at by so many eyes, Sophia suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Her cheeks gradually warmed with a burning heat, and her ears turned red too.
She turned to look at Benjamin, who though expressionless, had eyes full of amusement. Feeling warm inside, she said, "Yes, he's very good to me."
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came forward and sat down, speaking freely, "Doctor, you have such good medical skills, and your husband is so good too. You're so lucky! If you didn't already have a husband, I'd want to introduce you to my son!"
