Just as Elliot was about to get up, Anastasia reached out to hug his neck. “Then, we don’t have to use it.”
He immediately understood what she meant and was taken by surprise. Then, he kissed her gently and asked in a
hoarse voice, “Sweetheart, are you sure?”

“I am!” She had promised Jared, so she decided to try and see if she could fulfill his wish of giving him a sister on
his birthday next year.
At the break of dawn, Arthur suddenly had the urge to visit Sophia’s father after waking up.
After all, he had nothing better to do.
Deciding that he wanted it to be a surprise, he did not inform her about it. He used other means to get information
about Drake’s whereabouts. After all, the Goodwins’ company was in his hands.
To avoid Emily, Arthur left at about 10:00 AM to drive directly to the hospital since his bodyguard had bought him a
gift in advance, so he drove directly to the hospital.
At the hospital, Drake and the rest of his family were just at the entrance as his driver was on the way to bring them
to a restaurant for lunch.
As Drake couldn’t walk, he was pushed out in a wheelchair.
At this moment, a pick-up truck drove up toward them and the man who stepped out was Christopher coming to
pick Sophia up. At 5 feet 7 inches, he weighed nearly 200 pounds in sportswear and his body looked plumper than
ever.
His chin and neck were almost touching each other, but this did not stop him from liking beautiful women at all.
He and Sophia were classmates from junior high until they were in university. She had always been the It girl since
she was young as she was beautiful. Thus, Christopher had always been dreaming of getting her.
As for Sophia’s parents, they hoped that she would be taken care of for the rest of her life. Although he was a little
plump, he came from a wealthy family, so their daughter would be able to live a prosperous life in the future.
“Dad, Mom, let Uncle G take you to the restaurant first. We’ll meet you there in a bit,” Sophia said.
“Alright, we’ll get going then.”
Then, she followed Christopher into his car where he immediately acted like a gentleman. “Sophia, today is a great
day for us. Come, let’s get a gift for you.”

“You’re going to be my wife soon, and it’s only right for me to give you a gift.” Then, he drove her straight to the
jewelry store. Although she had repeatedly refused the offer, he still tried to force a diamond ring on her finger.
Ultimately, she had no choice but to wear it on her ring finger. This made him grin so widely that his triple chin was
on full display.
“Sophia, you’re so beautiful today. Did you know how many boys were after you back in high school? Now, I can
finally call you mine,” he boasted. He had already made up his mind to bribe the media to report their wedding.
That way, he would look even more imposing.
The most beautiful girl in school was now his wife, which made it extremely wonderful!
However, Sophia had no intention of being his trophy wife. She looked at the time and said, “It’s time for us to head
over to the restaurant.”
Then, Christopher finally drove them toward the restaurant.
In the hospital corridor, a group of young nurses was stunned by the sight of a man in a white shirt, who became
the focus of all the women. He was like a protagonist out of a while the two bodyguards made him appear
cold and hostile with a
domineering aura.
Arthur stood at the door of the ward. He stopped outside for a few seconds before he reached out to push open the
door, expecting to see Sophia’s surprised face.
However, the ward was empty.
When a nurse passed by, he politely asked the nurse in a charming voice, “Excuse me, has the patient here been
discharged?”
It just so happened that the nurse happened to be in charge of the ward. “Mr. Goodwin is not discharged yet,” she
hurriedly answered. “He just went out for lunch. If I’m not wrong, his daughter is getting engaged today.”
At the sound of this, his dark pupils suddenly shrank. “Engaged?”
