"Wait..."

'No! What am I supposed to do if you leave!'

Sophie wanted to speak, but the bodyguard ran faster than a rabbit.

She stood still, staring at Gordon gasping in his wheelchair. She braved herself to approach and asked incoherently, "What should I do now? Or, what do you need right now?" "Just stand there."

"Just that?"

"Just standing there is fine."

Gordon's voice was weak. Sophie knew that standing without causing trouble was the best option.

Gordon had helped her so many times, and seeing him in such pain now while doing nothing seemed a bit heartless.

Sophie thought of how caregivers in hospitals tend to patients and immediately said, "Wait here!"

"Ms. Sophie!"

Gordon tried to stop Sophie, but she was quick and disappeared in no time.

"Cough, cough!"

Gordon coughed. Sophie ran to the window, opened all the windows for ventilation, and then found a warm towel in the bathroom. She came back and told Gordon, "You have asthma, right? Take deep breaths now!"

"Ms. Sophie..."

Gordon tried to speak, but Sophie didn't give him the chance. Then, she started wiping Gordon's hands with the warm towel, easing his muscles and meridians. Sophie remembered that asthmatic patients needed to loosen their muscles to breathe smoothly.

"Breathe deeply!" Sophie helped Gordon with his breathing, saying, "At least we need to stabilize your condition for now."

She could tell that Gordon's condition wasn't severe at the moment and asked, "Do you have any medicine?"

"Ms. Sophie, you don't have to..."

"Never mind, I'll replace it myself!"

Sophie wanted to replace the medicine, and Gordon couldn't stop her again.

The Aldridge family's house was too big, and Gordon's medicine cabinet wasn't here. Sophie had just run out when she bumped into a maid. The maid, seeing Sophie, asked in confusion, "Ms. Sophie, what do you need?"

"Where is Mr. Gordon's medicine cabinet?"

"Mr. Gordon has many medicines, Ms. Sophie. Which one do you need?"

"For asthma!"

"Asthma?"

The maid said, "I'm not sure about that, but all of Mr. Gordon's medicines are in his bedroom. Ms. Sophie, you...

"Where is his bedroom?"

"At the corner of the corridor, the one on the left."

Racing against time, Sophie followed the direction the maid pointed and ran to Gordon's bedroom.

She didn't expect Gordon's bedroom to be so far from where she stayed. After running there, she pushed the door open and immediately spotted the medicine cabinet under the coffee table.

Gordon's medicine cabinet was filled with bottles and jars. Sophie ran in, opened the cabinet, and carefully identified each type of medicine. After going through them one by one, she finally found a bottle of asthma pills.

"I found it!"

Sophie immediately rushed back to the room and placed a medicine bottle in front of Gordon, saying, "Is it this one?"

Seeing Sophie's serious demeanor, Gordon nodded and said, "Water."

"Okay!"

Sophie went to the coffee table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Gordon, who then took two pills.

"Does it feel a bit better?"

Gordon just smiled without saying a word.

At that moment, the bodyguard came in with a private doctor, who immediately set down his tools to check on Gordon's condition.
