Chapter 4: Sophia Brown is trapped in an abusive situation

The cold water did not wake Sophia Brown up, but instead plunged her into a feverish confusion.

"What on earth is going on? Quick! Give her first aid!" The doctor happened to be making rounds and saw that Sophia Brown's face and lips looked abnormal. He quickly did a preliminary examination and said, "Send her to the emergency room immediately!"

Alexander Smith froze in place, his fingers numb from nervousness, and he grabbed Charles' collar out of control. "Didn't you say she was pretending?"

Charles also looked flustered and pushed Alexander Smith away. "How should I know? She has always been good at acting. Haven't you heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?"

"Don't worry, she won't die." May stepped on her high heels, showing off her aura of a wealthy lady. "Doctor, she has agreed to donate a kidney to Emily . Please check if her kidney is usable." The doctor frowned. "Let's save her first."

"Lucas, your father and our Zhengguo are close friends, so there are some things I won't say." May said meaningfully, obviously wanting the doctor not to be too nervous and to do the transplant surgery first. After all, the parties involved have agreed and various agreements will be signed. Even if something goes wrong, the doctor and the hospital will not be held responsible.

Sophia Brown was taken away by the emergency room staff. Lucas stood up, straightened his white coat, and glanced at Alexander Smith and Charles. "May, I'm just a doctor. It's my duty to treat and save lives. As for other things, they are not within my scope of consideration."

"You!" Charles was angry and wanted to refute, but was stopped by May .

" Why are you in such a hurry? Let your father call his father later. These doctors have to save face. Some things don't need to be said openly." May looked at Alexander Smith . " Alexander Smith , Emily is your fiancée. You have the responsibility to take good care of her."

Alexander Smith nodded. "Aunt, I understand."

In the emergency room.

"Sophia Brown, you have to hold on. You have to hold on. Your brother is waiting for you outside. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of anything. Your brother is here."

"Sophia Brown, your brother will not abandon you."

Under the bright lights, Sophia Brown's consciousness gradually blurred.

Five years ago, her baby was born prematurely and she suffered severe bleeding, narrowly escaping death.

At that time, no one cared about her life or death. Ironically, the brother who stood outside the ward and made her feel at ease was not Charles , but her biological brother, Mark, whom she had not met for more than 20 years .

" Lucas , take a look at the patient's condition. He has been malnourished for a long time, and his body is covered with scars, both new and old... Should we call the police?" The nurse in the examination room asked nervously.

The woman appeared to have been a victim of long-term abuse.

"No thanks." Lucas frowned.

He knew that Sophia Brown, the fake eldest daughter of the Brown family, had caused a sensation in Haicheng five years ago. She should have just been released from prison, so it was reasonable for her to be malnourished.

"Where are the patient's family members?" Lucas looked up at Alexander Smith, who was smoking at the door of the smoking area.

"She has no family." Alexander Smith said in a deep voice.

"The patient is weak and has bradycardia, which may be related to long-term malnutrition. She does not meet the conditions for kidney donation." Lucas ignored Alexander Smith and just issued his own notice.

" Lucas , right?" Alexander Smith threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stared at the doctor with cold eyes. "She has agreed to donate. As a doctor, don't be too involved."

Lucas closed the checklist, his aura was no less than Alexander Smith's, even more oppressive. "I'll give you two choices. One, take her home and take good care of her, get her nutrition right, and come back for another checkup when her weight reaches the standard. Two, find a suitable match from the list of volunteers I provided you, and perform the transplant as soon as possible."

Alexander Smith frowned. "I choose the first one."

After saying that, Alexander Smith left.

"Lucas, does this woman have a grudge against them? Why do they insist on having her kidney?" the nurse whispered in confusion.

Lucas remained silent and just shook his head slightly.

He had no intention of interfering in the feud between the Smith family and the Brown family.

In the ward.

Sophia Brown , who has left the emergency room , is leaning against the bedside receiving an IV.

After the doctors left, Sophia Brown quietly pulled out the infusion needle while no one was in the ward and escaped through the bathroom window.

She knew that the Brown family and Alexander Smith would not let her go, and she had to save herself.

Even for her son, she had to live.

Five years ago, she gave birth to a child after a narrow escape from death...

Although she didn't know who the child's biological father was, the child was innocent.

Sophia Brown never blamed the child, nor did she ever bear any grudge.

She only knew that it was the continuation of her life and the motivation that enabled her to survive in prison for five years.

After escaping from the hospital, Sophia Brown made a call in a phone booth.

" Finally you're willing to contact me?" The man's voice was deep and powerful on the other end of the phone. "I told you that if you want to survive, you have to cooperate with me. If I hadn't protected you all these years, you would have died in prison."

"I promised you that I would try to get close to Daniel..." Sophia Brown's voice trembled slightly. "But I don't have the confidence that Daniel will be interested in me."

Who is Daniel? The proud son of the Smith family, a genius in the business world, and a man standing at the top of the entire business food chain.

Sophia Brown today can never reach such heights.

"Don't worry, Alexander Smith won't let you go easily. You have many opportunities to get in touch with Daniel, so you have to seize them."
