The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 203

Lydia ran over, “Are you all right, Sophia? I’m so worried about you. By the way, where’s Mr. Pearson?”

Sophia stayed, “I’m fine. Pearson? He’s not with me.”

“You had been in the water and did not come up for a long time. Then you reached out and struggled. So he thought you were drowning and jumped into the sea to save you. But why didn’t he come up?” Said Lydia.

Sophia seemed to know something.

Was that man… Albert?!

She looked out to the area where she had been. Albert had not come up. Had she knocked him unconscious?

Before she could explain, she ran to the sea and swam with all her might. She was even faster than she was when she ran away. Soon, she got to the place. She took a deep breath and dived into the water.

Sure enough, Albert was lying where she had just been “attacked,” motionless. There were some little fish swimming around his feet as if they were trying to… bite him?

Maybe he would be fish food if she came later.

Sophia had read some first-aid knowledge before. What drowning people needed most was oxygen. If the brain was anoxic for a long time, even if the man was rescued, he or she might have sequelae and become a fool.

It had been a while, and it was urgent. Without thinking much, she bent over, covered her mouth to Albert’s, and passed the breath into his mouth.

Then she took Albert in her arms, kicked off her feet, and rose to the surface.

The lifeguard came. There were a lot of people this day, a kid drowned, and he went to save that kid and didn’t know what happened here. He took Albert in his arms and pulled him ashore. Sophia was exhausted. She took a break and swam to the shore.

The lifeguard pressed Albert on his stomach, and the water came out from his mouth. After a while, Albert woke up. The doctor came, checked him out, and left before making sure he was all right.

“Well, I…” Albert was ashamed. He was trying to save people, but he didn’t expect to be saved.

The thing was, he seemed to feel the soft lips pressed on his when he was in a daze. It made him feel like he was getting drunk.

Was that person…

He looked at Sophia and whispered, “Did you save me?”

Sophia was shamed into drowning him, so she didn’t want to claim the credit. “No. It’s the lifeguard,” she said at once.

It was not a lie. After all, the lifeguard helped a lot. She had tried her best and was exhausted then. With her strength, she could not pull Albert ashore alone.

Albert was shocked.

Were the soft lips belonging to the strong man in front of him?

He must have been so drowned out that he thought his lips were soft.

OMG! He wanted to die.

***

The doctor had told Albert to take a good rest. Sophia thought it was all her fault and felt ashamed, so she offered to take care of him.

Albert felt a blessing in disguise, though the thought of the burly lifeguard still made him uncomfortable.

Sophia took a shower and changed into her clothes. The driver took her to the hotel with Albert.

Sophia accompanied Albert to his room. Noticing his pale and bloodless face, she asked with concern, “Are you feeling better?”

Albert nodded, “It’s okay. I’m all right.”

Sophia was relieved. “Well, I should go.”

It was early, and she could walk around for some time.

Hearing that, Albert hurried up, “Let me send you. Ouch, my head!”

He looked quite weak. Fearing that he might fall, Sophia reached out to support him and helped him back to the bed.

Albert looked at her and said in a weak voice, “Can you… get me a glass of water?”

Sophia got up and took a glass from the table. Then she went to the drinking machine, took some hot water and some cold water to make it just right. Then she went up to him and handed him the glass.

Albert took over the glass, and Sophia touched his fingertips, which were quite cold.

“You’d better drink some hot water. It will help you recover. Ginger tea is the best. It will make you sweat, so that you won’t fall ill.” Sophia said and picked up the phone. “I’ll ask if the hotel can make some.”

When she finished the call, she said, “The ginger and brown sugar tea is available. They will send it in a minute.”

Albert sat there and enjoyed being taken care of by Sophia, but… ginger and brown sugar tea? What was that? Wasn’t that for girls? He had seen his cousin drinking it and heard that it was for the girl’s belly.

He felt that Sophia had misunderstood him as if he were her sister.

He thought Sophia needed to know that he was a man of honor. Not a girl, okay?

Not long after, the waiter brought the tea to Sophia. Sophia came up to Albert with it, “Come on. Drink it!”

Albert was thinking about how to show his masculinity at this time when Sophia said, “Be good! It’s not bitter, and it’s sweet.”

Did she think of him as a kid who refused to take bitter medicine? Why did he feel that he was getting down in the hierarchy?

To prove that he was not an indocile kid, he had to take it over and drink it.

It was sweet and spicy. Terrible! It was the first time he drank it, and he felt that it was not as good as medicine. Thinking that his cousin often drank it, he suddenly felt that it was not easy to be a girl.

Sophia saw him drink it, frowning, and asked, “What’s the matter? Is it bitter?”

Albert shook his head, “No. It’s spicy.”

“There are ginger slices in it, which will naturally be a little spicy.”

She picked up the quilt and covered Albert with it. “Lie down. You’ll sweat and get better.”

As she got up to leave, Albert suddenly grabbed her hand.

Sophia stopped and was confused.. She turned back and looked at him in confusion.
