True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 273 Sophia's Jealousy

Sophia hadn't had time to remove her makeup from filming, and her bright red lipstick had stained the straw.

Alexander, usually a clean freak, didn't seem to mind and drank from the same spot. He took a few sips and nodded. "Not bad. Behave, and I'll get you another one next time." He ruffled Sophia's hair like she was a cat.

Sophia stared at him, frustrated. "Alexander, you drank my coffee!"

Alexander raised an eyebrow. "I bought it. Can't I have a sip? You're so stingy."

Sophia angrily wiped the straw with a tissue. "Did you even brush your teeth? Drinking my stuff with your stinky mouth, how am I supposed to drink it now?"

Alexander leaned in, his eyes serious. "I brushed before I left. Want to check?"

He puckered his lips playfully.

Sophia quickly covered his mouth. "Don't even joke about it, Alexander! One kiss and you're dead meat!"

Alexander's lips brushed against her palm, and he chuckled. "I just wanted you to see my teeth. Who said I was going to kiss you? If you want, give me a raise, for the right price, and I might consider it." "Get lost!" Sophia slapped his hand.

Alexander gasped, smiling mischievously. "With your temper, kissing you would shorten my life by ten years. Not exactly lining up to volunteer for that."

He sat back and started the car.

Sophia glared at him. She was sure Alexander would drive her crazy one day.

She angrily sipped her coffee and checked her phone. She saw a 4D ultrasound photo Joyce had sent. [Sophia, this is your godson's 4D ultrasound. Isn't he handsome?]

She smiled at Alexander. "Joyce's having a boy. Look how handsome he is."

Alexander smiled. "You have a godson now. Aren't you going to treat me to dinner to celebrate?" Sophia agreed. "Wherever you want to eat, you choose. I'm happy today, I'll treat you to a feast." "Alright, there's a new Ferris Wheel Restaurant at the amusement park. Want to check it out?" "Sure, I'll book a table now."

They quickly agreed, one driving and the other booking a table.

Just as the reservation was made, Alexander's phone rang. Seeing the hospital number, he answered.

A woman's voice came through. "Alexander, the patient in bed 28 is having post-surgery complications, vomiting continuously and running a high fever. You need to come quickly."

Alexander floored the gas pedal, speeding off. At the hospital, he dragged Sophia into his office, sat her down, and said while putting on his white coat, "Wait here. I need to check on something." Although Sophia felt uncomfortable, she knew saving lives was a doctor's duty. She nodded. "Go ahead. I'll just sit here and read the script."

Alexander, after putting on his white coat, gave Sophia a complicated look before leaving.

Two hours passed, and Alexander still hadn't returned. The Ferris Wheel Restaurant called again. "Miss Sinclair, when will you arrive? If you don't arrive within half an hour, we will cancel your reservation." Sophia glanced outside the door and said, "Alright, if I don't arrive in half an hour, cancel it."

Hanging up, Sophia walked out. She had filmed here before and knew where the operating room was.

Sophia took the elevator to the tenth floor. Just as she was about to head towards the operating room, she heard a woman's low sobs in the hallway. "Alexander, our surgery was clearly successful. Why did she still die? That poor girl." Sophia's steps halted. She recognized the voice as Alexander's alumna, Melanie. She could guess the situation; the patient they had just tried to save had passed away. Hearing Melanie cry in front of Alexander made her heart ache. Sophia curled her fingers, trying to suppress the unease in her heart.

At that moment, she heard Alexander's voice. "Melanie, what's wrong?"

Melanie replied weakly, "Alexander, I haven't eaten in a while. I think I have low blood sugar."

With that, she collapsed into Alexander's arms, fainting.

Alexander immediately picked her up and rushed out of the stairwell. Seeing Sophia standing at the door, he just said, "Sophia, go home first. I have something to deal with here."

Watching them leave, Sophia felt her eyes well up. She bit her lip and cursed, "Bastard," then took the elevator and left.

Sophia called the Ferris Wheel Restaurant, "I'll be there in half an hour. Please hold my reservation."

When she arrived, there was a long line outside the restaurant. All couples, and she was the only one alone.

The waiter looked at her in surprise. "Miss Sinclair, just you?"

Sophia coldly replied, "Is there a problem with dining alone?"

She was led onto the Ferris Wheel and ordered the most luxurious set meal.

Sitting alone on the Ferris Wheel, looking at the city's most beautiful night view and eating the luxurious meal, her mood finally improved.

Sophia took out her phone, snapped a photo, and posted it.

Alexander, after settling Melanie in the ward and seeing she was fine, called a nurse. "Keep an eye on Dr. Hayes. I have something to do." Melanie immediately grabbed his sleeve, looking pitiful. "Alexander, I haven't eaten all day. Can you get me something to eat?" Alexander frowned and said, "I'll get you some oatmeal from downstairs. Try to rest, okay?"

With that, he turned and left.

The nurse, looking at Melanie, smiled. "Dr. Hayes, Dr. Cross is so good to you. I think you two are a perfect match. Sophia doesn't deserve him." Melanie smiled faintly. "Don't say that. They're officially a couple."

"They ain't married yet. Besides, Sophia is always filming and has a dubious relationship with Edgar. Even I felt sorry for Dr. Cross." Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Melanie's lips.

Alexander, after leaving the ward, wanted to call Sophia to check if she was home. But as soon as he opened Facebook, he saw Sophia's post. Sophia was alone in the Ferris Wheel Restaurant, enjoying the night view and drinking.

"Is she planning to drink that whole bottle of wine?" Alexander gritted his teeth in frustration and murmured, "Sophia, what are you doing?"
