Chapter 1011 - 1007: I Give You My Word
Sophie pretended to drink milk, acting like she didn’t hear anything."Sophie..." Luke softened his tone, "Just agree for me, will you? Look at Little Chili, already twenty-five or twenty-six and still single. It’s so pitiful. Besides, only I can tolerate her fiery temper in the whole world, so don’t let her go and harm others."
Luke spoke with ’sincerity and earnestness.’
Sophie hesitated for a moment, "I still need to think about it. After all... after all, you, big brother, have too many not-so-brilliant past deeds."
"Don’t worry, I’ve turned over a new leaf for many years now. In the past four or five years, I haven’t touched a single woman. I swear to God!"
Luke declared confidently, while Asher gave him a look of disdain.
"Since today is the weekend, can you help me ask Little Chili out?" Luke gave Sophie a coquettish glance, which made her scalp tingle.
"She might have a schedule today..."
"Absolutely not! I’ve already looked into it."
"You investigated her?"
"..."
Luke laughed awkwardly; for some time recently, Eva’s every move and work schedule were within her monitoring scope.
Under Luke’s relentless persuasion, Sophie finally took out her phone.
She turned on the speaker and put it aside.
"Hey, Sophie, what’s up..."
The moment the call connected, an uninspired voice from Eva came through from the other side.
"Eva, are you sick? You sound like you’re not feeling well."
"Hmm." Eva groaned a couple of times, "Stomach pain, dizziness, nausea, wanting to vomit,..."
"That serious?" Sophie stood up, "You’re at home right? I’ll come over now and take you to the hospital."
"Hmm." Eva really felt uncomfortable; her voice sounded like she was about to burst into tears. Sophie didn’t hesitate, hung up the call, and was ready to head out.
"Wait, wait!" Luke quickly stood in front of Sophie, "Taking Little Chili to the hospital, let me handle this."
"No, I have to go personally to make sure Eva is okay, ... I won’t feel at ease if it’s you." Sophie spoke the truth, "What if you take advantage of her being sick to do something bad?"
"I’m not that much of a beast." Luke shrugged, "Just grant me this, okay?"
Sophie held the car keys, hesitating, while Asher pulled out a chair, stood up, took the car keys from Sophie, and directly threw them to Luke.
"You’re so kind, bro." Luke took the car keys and went out, Sophie wanted to follow but was stopped by Asher.
"I swear on my integrity that my big brother won’t do anything outrageous to Eva. If he does, you can deal with me as you see fit."
Sophie gave Asher a helpless glance, but in the end, she sat back down.
...
Luke drove at high speed and in less than an hour, he arrived at Eva’s place.
He knocked on the door for a long time before hearing a little noise from inside.
Eva was making her way to the door.
"It’s you?" As soon as Eva saw Luke’s face, she instinctively wanted to close the door, but Luke quickly squeezed into the room with agility.
"What are you here for?" Eva’s tone was unfriendly, but due to her illness, what was supposed to be a determined voice sounded rather weak.
"You’re sick? I’ll take you to the hospital now."
"None of your business."
