Chapter 98: Heaven Played a Joke on Her (Part 1)
Asher Land felt a trace of guilt in his heart. He knew what kind of woman she was; proud inside, with her own dignity. But during those past days, he had said many hurtful things and done many hurtful deeds, deeply wounding her pride.
He began to reflect because he now saw her as someone more important; he could no longer ignore the true feelings in his heart.
...
City of Desire has entered a very busy promotional period, sometimes even traveling to two or three cities in a day for promotional events. Sophie Smith clearly felt overwhelmed.
She sat backstage, her head feeling a bit dizzy; she had only slept for two hours last night.
"Sophie, are you okay?" Next to her, Julia Brown asked worriedly, noticing her poor complexion.
"I’m fine. Can you help me get a cup of hot water?" As soon as Sophie finished speaking, a cup of hot water was handed to her. Surprised, she looked up to see Wyatt Sterling also looking at her with concern.
"This press event can be postponed. Should we go to the hospital first?" He sat down next to her, testing her forehead with his hand for fever. "Why is your fever so high?"
"I’m really fine. The weather is bad today, and the press event venue is already crowded. Postponing might cause chaos."
Wyatt knew of Sophie’s stubbornness from their interactions; she was kind and dedicated, unlikely to want to delay the event for a hospital visit.
"Drink more hot water," Wyatt advised her with concern. Sophie took the hot water and nodded gratefully.
