Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 410: Chapter 410

When it comes to dating, Hurley may be lacking in experience, but he does know someone who is an expert! He called Nick Oxlade, a friend. Nick works in the entertainment industry and knows a thing or two about these things.
When he heard that Hurley wanted to go out on a date, Nick was shocked, "With who?" he asked.
"Who do you think?"
"Sophie Hades?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me what to do to make it more romantic."
"You can actually get Sophie to go on a date with you?" Nick still found it unbelievable. Even though he hadn't had much interaction with Sophie, he could tell from the few times they had met that the princess of the Hades family might be allergic to romance.
"She's the one who asked me out."
"I don't believe it," Nick said bluntly. He had the feeling that his buddy had been indulging in wishful thinking when he had heard that he had been chasing after her all the way to Andorra.
"Cut the crap. Just tell me what I should do to double her favor toward me."
"Stargazing by the sea. You'll definitely need some fireworks or something. Fireworks with a sky full of stars, it's so beautiful."
Nick gave Hurley a bunch of ideas. Hurley listened to them, separated the credible ones from the less credible ones, and then started to put everything together.
This was his first date with Sophie, and it was a very important one.
All day long, Hurley had been preparing everything by himself. Sophie, on the other hand, went to the lab. The tiredness of the last few days seemed to have disappeared, and even Amy noticed that her mood had improved a lot.
"Night, did anything exciting happen? You seem to be in a very good mood this evening."
"Really?" Sophie touched her cheek. She probably wasn't smiling, was she? Her mood didn't seem to be particularly good, just average.
"Of course, come on, spit it out. Is there something good going on outside of the lab?"
"No, it's because we've gotten good results from what we're experimenting with, so I'm happy. How did the observation data from last night come out?" Sophie changed the subject immediately.
Amy handed the recorded data to Sophie and Sophie took a look at it.
It was all good, very, very good, all the experimental mice are still alive this time and there is improvement in their various body functions.
"I need to watch this one more closely. I have a set of data I need to re-analyze," Sophie said as she changed into her sterile clothes. Then, after getting the mice to drink the pesticide again, she operated on them once more and gave them the drug that she had been researching.
There was no room for error in this kind of experiment; there had to be checks and rechecks to be sure there were no problems.
Soon it was evening, and the data from the re-tested mice was under her control. Everything was going as she expected, and Sophie breathed a sigh of relief.
The drug should work.
With a glance at the clock, Sophie also had a look at the weather outside. Today's weather was very good, the moon was already on the rise, it should be a beautiful night with lots of stars.
"Amy, I think you should go home early and get a little rest. I'll leave first."
"It is a miracle. You're leaving so early today, when you'd normally want to live in the lab. Are you going on a date?"
Sophie put her arm around the back of Amy's neck. "Will you go on a date with me?"
"I don't have that kind of privilege. You should go quickly, you don't want to keep your friend waiting impatiently."
Even though Amy was Sophie's subordinate, their relationship was more like that of friends.
"It's not a date. It's just a friend who came to Andorra. I'm just showing him around."
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening. Hurry up, otherwise your friend will be waiting for you anxiously."
Hurley had everything ready to go and was just waiting for Sophie to show up. Hurley didn't know when Sophie would arrive because the sky was getting darker. He was on the verge of calling her, but he was afraid she would be under a lot of pressure.
Nick had mentioned that it was a big no-no to rush someone on a date if the girl was going to be late. And what if the girl is a little slow? You should just wait.
Besides, Sophie hadn't said exactly when she would show up. As long as she would show up, Hurley would be very happy about it.
Hurley had also been in contact with the fireworks company countless times about the time and number of the fireworks. Even though it was only a date he had accepted, he really appreciated this opportunity.
Just as everything was ready and he was waiting for Sophie's arrival, Hurley had a phone call from the hospital.
"Mr. Walton, it's not good. Mrs. Walton is back in the operating room and the doctor says her life is in danger. We need you to sign the notice of critical illness for her!"
"Wasn't she all right this morning?"
"She had an operation this morning, but the hospital was helpless. They're monitoring her, but at this moment... at this moment, Mrs. Walton had a brief hypoperfusion and her heart stopped."
"The hospital suggests that you come back now, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise you might not get to see Mrs. Walton for the last time."
A chill ran down Hurley's spine. How could something like this happen so suddenly? Everything seemed fine before.
"What about Maya?"
"The wonder doctor seems to have some business to attend to and she left last night," the person responsible for the woman in the hospital replied. "There were signs of rejection in her body yesterday, and we are already in the process of treatment. The situation is not optimistic, and we have to inform you of this."
Then Maya said she had to take care of something and left the hospital. The hospital did not know what to do without her. They knew how important this patient was. If they couldn't save her in the end, the hospital might be out of business. But now, all of a sudden, the situation was getting worse and they were helpless.
All they could do was ask Hurley to come back first. Maybe he could see her for the last time.
Now the situation was serious on that side, and here he was waiting for Sophie. How did it suddenly turn out like this? Wasn't Maya the night? Why can't she even fix this?
Wasn't she so confident in the beginning?
"Mr. Walton, please come back as soon as you can. We... we may not be able to hold on."
"I understand."
After hanging up, the joy on Hurley's face disappeared and his expression became visibly serious. Even though he did not have any affection for the girl, he did have a responsibility to her. Now, her condition was critical, and he might have to go back to her.
The rendezvous with Sophie might have to wait until the next time. The next time, he would be sure to arrange a more grand and more romantic rendezvous for her.
Hurley dialed Sophie's number. Sophie parked and took a while to answer.
She had already seen Hurley over there and didn't know what time he had arrived. He couldn't have waited there all afternoon, could he?
"Hello?"
"Have you arrived yet? I... I might have an emergency and I might have to go back to Tbilisi."
"Why? What's the matter?" Sophie looked at Hurley who was not far away from her.
Hurley looked worried. "There's trouble with the little fool again. The doctor says that she's now in a critical condition and that she might not even make it through the night."
Sophie had suspected this might happen from the beginning. After drinking so much of the pesticide, it wouldn't be enough for her to rely on a lung transplant.
"You go, I haven't arrived yet, so I'm not going to leave."
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I can. Next time we'll be here together to watch the stars."
With that, Sophie watched Hurley leave.
Standing where she was, Sophie watched as his figure disappeared into the night at the sea...
