Chapter 393 Lacking Everything Except Money
"No! I'll have someone prepare it right away." Beck immediately waved his hand and walked out with the prescription.
Before leaving, Beck looked at Celestia on the hospital bed with sympathy.
He knew it...
Sophia was definitely not the type to be pushed around. How could she possibly let people bully her?
Turns out she was waiting here for Celestia.
This flu came suddenly and swept through most of Novaria.
The Novaria Disease Control Center had already held several internal meetings to discuss solutions.
Besides Celestia, their hospital had many patients with similar symptoms.
Francis had been swamped these past few days because of this, but unexpectedly Sophia had already prepared the prescription.
Although he didn't know how effective the medicine would be, he had confidence in Sophia's medical skills.
Thinking this way, Beck became even more excited and quickened his pace as he left.
When Celestia woke up, she found herself lying in a hospital room.
A trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. She tried to get up, but found herself completely weak and fell back down.
Arabella noticed Celestia had woken up and was immediately overjoyed.
"Celestia, you're finally awake! You scared mom to death!"
Arabella hugged Celestia tightly, her eyes red.
Celestia leaned weakly against Arabella and asked in confusion, "What... what happened?"
"Don't you remember? You knelt in the rain all night, then you passed out and got the flu."
She briefly explained what happened, subconsciously leaving out everything about Sophia.
With Celestia's strong personality, if she knew she had to apologize to Sophia, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.
But things didn't go as planned.
Just as she finished speaking, Sophia walked in from outside.
Seeing Celestia awake, Sophia raised her eyebrows: "Not bad, faster than I expected."
"Sophia, what are you doing here?" Seeing Sophia, Celestia immediately went on high alert.
Sophia chuckled: "If I wasn't here, who knows when you would have woken up."
"What? You saved me?" Celestia looked completely incredulous.
"Are you surprised? You should be thinking about how to apologize to me now."
"What do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I ever apologize to you?"
Celestia's face was still somewhat pale, and although her tone was cold, it lacked any real force.
Sophia wasn't afraid of her to begin with, and now she paid even less attention to her mockery.
She casually pointed at Arabella: "Your mother personally promised me that if I could save you, you would apologize to me for everything you've done before."
"That's impossible! My mom would never agree to something like that! Mom, say something!" Celestia looked to Arabella for help.
Arabella silently lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
"Celestia, the situation was critical at the time. Mom had no choice."
Celestia choked, almost coughing up blood.
Make her apologize to Sophia?
How was that possible!
But Sophia acted as if she couldn't see how terrible her expression was, sitting by the bed on her own, looking at her leisurely.
"Since you're awake now, start apologizing to me. I'm listening."
Celestia was furious and embarrassed, struggling to control the urge to curse at her: "Sophia, what exactly do you want?"
Her voice was sharp and piercing. Sophia impatiently rubbed her ears, her eyes suddenly turning cold.
"What? You want to go back on your word? Should I call grandpa over?"
"Wait!" Celestia's face turned bright red, glaring at Sophia with resentment.
She struggled for a long time before finally forcing out "I'm sorry."
This wasn't the first time she had apologized to Sophia, but it was the most humiliating.
She hadn't even done anything this time.
Sophia seemed to read her thoughts and said calmly: "I wasn't planning to hold past things against you, but you shouldn't have slandered my relationship with Matthew."
She ran away too fast that night, and Sophia didn't get a chance to confront her.
Now that she finally had the opportunity, she naturally had to seize it.
"Did I say anything wrong? Matthew's feelings for you are obviously unusual." Celestia gripped the bedsheet beneath her unwillingly, retorting coldly.
"If there really was something between Matthew and me, do you think I would have married into the White family?"
Celestia was stumped by her question and stammered: "Who knows what you're scheming? Maybe you're just after the White family's money."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia suddenly laughed out loud.
"Celestia, do you really know me?"
Celestia looked at her blankly: "What do you mean?"
Sophia snorted coldly and said: "Instead of spending so much time being paranoid, why don't you take some time to check the global wealth rankings."
Sorry, but she lacked everything except money.
"This..."
Before Celestia could react, Arabella had already pulled out her phone.
Looking at the names on the rankings, Arabella couldn't help but gasp.
"Sophia?"
Sophia's name was actually on there?
And she was ranked ahead of Matthew and even Preston?
How was this possible!
Celestia suspiciously leaned over, then was also stunned.
Third on the rankings?
Benjamin... or rather Benjamin from two years ago, had only ranked fifth at his highest.
Celestia and Arabella looked at each other, completely shocked.
"No, this can't be real! How could this Sophia be you?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Sophia showed them this not to show off, but to tell them that she never lacked money.
She married Benjamin absolutely not for money.
Celestia and Arabella's faces suddenly turned deathly pale, and their bodies swayed from the shock.
However, Sophia delivered another blow: "Oh, and two years ago Benjamin transferred all his personal assets to my name."
If she counted the assets Benjamin transferred to her, her ranking would be even higher.
Celestia bit her lip hard, unable to believe any of this was real.
Arabella found it even more incredible.
Since Sophia came to the White family, they had subconsciously assumed she married in for money.
But only at this moment did they realize how wrong they had been.
Sophia continued: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I recorded your apology just now."
Celestia had just barely recovered from her shock when she heard this and her heart lurched again.
"You! Sophia, you're too sneaky! What are you trying to do?"
Sophia ignored her glare and opened her phone's news page, showing it to her.
The headline read: "The White family's daughter tests medicine on herself after contracting the flu..."
Celestia's mouth dropped open in shock: "When did I ever test medicine?"
Sophia's eyes curved with a smile as she kindly explained: "When you were unconscious, it happened so suddenly that there was no time to do research in the lab, so I just..."
Celestia: !!!
"Sophia, you actually used me to test medicine? Are you crazy? If something had happened to me, could you have taken responsibility?"
"You should be thanking me. Right now many people online are grateful to you for testing the medicine for them."
Actually, she had confidence in her own formula. If there were really a problem, she would never joke with someone's life.
It's just... seeing Celestia frustrated somehow put her in a great mood.
