Xante arrived at Central Hospital 20 minutes later. She got out of the car and ran quickly to the elevator in the underground parking lot. Unexpectedly, she met an acquaintance as soon as she entered the elevator.
It was none other than Sophia, the bane of Corinne's existence.
Sophia had just had her face done at the beauty salon, and she smelled so strongly of beauty products that the whole elevator was filled with her smell!
Sophia was looking down at her phone when Xante got in the elevator, so she did not notice her. Moreover, she was going from the basement floor to the first floor, so she got out of the elevator very quickly.
Xante followed Sophia out of the elevator and saw how she walked toward the most quiet corridor. She thought it was strange that Sophia would appear in the hospital but decided to not think too much about it since she came alone. Thus, she got back into the elevator and headed upstairs to find Sunny.
At that moment, Sunny received a message from Xante asking for his ward number. After he replied to her, he looked up at Maxwell, who looked much better.
"Dad, could you do me a favor?" he asked.
Maxwell could tell Sunny really needed his help, so he nodded. "Of course. What is it?"
Sunny shyly rubbed the back of his head and said, "If you feel better, please sit on the sofa for a while. Lend me the hospital bed."
Maxwell was speechless. 'Is he really my son?'
She walked hurriedly to the bed and adjusted her slightly crooked gold-rimmed glasses. She looked down at Sunny and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Sunny groaned and said, "Xante…you're here!"
Xante frowned slightly when she heard the pain in his voice. "Why do you sound so weak? Let me see where you're injured."
Pouting, Sunny raised his arm, rolled up his sleeves, and showed her the wound. "Here…"
Xante frowned when she saw blood oozing out from the bandage. "Didn't the doctor already treat the wound? Why is your blood still coming out of it?"
