Chapter 316: Eyes Only for the Porridge on the Ground

Sophie Woods spent the last two days sitting on the chairs outside the hospital entrance whenever she was free.

Her gaze was fixed on the cars coming and going.

Deep down, she still harbored a faint hope that she would see James Thompson again.

Grandpa Shaw's brain surgery was very successful, but she had work to return to and couldn't take much more leave; she would have to go back to Inkwell City in two days.

A black sedan stopped at the hospital entrance.

Sophie's heart rate quickened; her eyes locked onto the car with anticipation.

However, when the car door opened and an middle-aged man stepped out, her hopes were shattered in an instant.

Disappointed, she withdrew her gaze.

"He's not coming," she muttered to herself in despondency.

Elizabeth Shaw came out looking for Sophie and saw her friend's spiritless state; walking over with concern, she sat down, "Sophie, you've been off these past couple of days."
