As soon as Henry Mitchell heard the sound, he immediately turned around and stepped forward to support Sophie Lawrence, his brows furrowing. "How long has it been since you last ate?"
Sophie Lawrence clutched at Henry Mitchell's white coat. After a long while, she finally straightened up. She wiped the corner of her mouth and said in a low voice, "I don't remember."
Henry Mitchell led Sophie Lawrence to a chair outside Healing Haven and sat her down, then turned and walked towards the nurses' station. Before long, a nurse came over with biscuits and water and handed them to Sophie Lawrence.
"Dr. Henry has gone to see other patients. He asked me to give these to you."
Sophie Lawrence reached out to take them, her eyes looking in the direction of Henry Mitchell's operating room as she said softly, "Thank you."
Suddenly, the sound of high - heeled shoes hitting the floor hurriedly rang out in the hall of Healing Haven. Everyone looked up and saw a woman in a knee - length dress looking around hastily as if searching for someone. Sophie Lawrence's eyes suddenly narrowed. It was Chloe Morgan. Didn't she have an injured leg? Sophie Lawrence watched as Chloe Morgan asked a passing nurse and then made a beeline for the operating room where Henry Mitchell was. Subconsciously, she stood up and followed.
Henry Mitchell was inside suturing a patient's wound. When he saw Chloe Morgan who suddenly appeared and Sophie Lawrence who had returned, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Get out."
Sophie Lawrence was about to step forward to close the door, but Chloe Morgan had already taken a step ahead. Sophie Lawrence looked at her fingers, which were full of wounds and dirt, hanging in the air. At that moment, she subconsciously put her hands behind her back. In front of her, Chloe Morgan was elegant, glamorous, while she herself was dusty, disheveled, and extremely slovenly.
Chloe Morgan gave Sophie Lawrence a cold look and then turned and walked towards a chair on one side. Sophie Lawrence lowered her head, clenched her hands tightly, and then turned and walked out of Healing Haven.
After a short rest, Sophie Lawrence and her teammates plunged into the intense rescue work again. In the past two days and two nights, they had saved so many people and witnessed so many deaths. Here, life and death were all so ordinary.
...
One evening, after rescuing a group of students, Sophie Lawrence sat casually on the ground to rest. As the cold wind blew, a photo suddenly blew in front of her. There were two students in school uniforms on the photo, a boy and a girl, smiling very happily. Sophie Lawrence picked up the photo and, as she looked at it, suddenly her eyes reddened. She and Henry Mitchell had known each other since childhood and had gone to school together. Such a scene had been so common for them in the past.
The next day.
The relief supplies sent from various provinces and cities arrived one after another. Sophie Lawrence distributed the food and water she had received to her teammates one by one. Suddenly, a voice came from behind Sophie Lawrence: "Miss Sophie?"
Sophie Lawrence turned around and was very surprised. "Mr. Jason, why are you here?"
The person who came was Jason Lu.
He stepped forward. "When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides. I've brought some supplies for everyone and the disaster - stricken people."
Sophie Lawrence asked Mark to continue distributing the supplies while she led Jason Lu to one side.
"Mr. Jason is so kind - hearted. It's really admirable," Sophie Lawrence said with a faint smile.
Jason Lu shook his head and looked at Sophie Lawrence. "Miss Sophie is the one who is truly admirable."
Sophie Lawrence was about to speak when the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook violently. It was an aftershock! Jason Lu subconsciously grabbed Sophie Lawrence in front of him and uncontrollably fell towards her. Even though Sophie Lawrence was strong and had a firm stance, facing Jason Lu who was lunging at her, she couldn't help but stagger and fall towards the ground.
Mark in the distance suddenly shouted, "Captain Sophie, look out!"
Sophie Lawrence subconsciously looked down and suddenly a bare steel bar appeared in front of her, right in the direction where she was about to fall!
