BXBX NOVEL Chapter 342 Matthew's Concern For Her
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Sophia was given some medicine by the doctor to counterattack the effect of the drug John and Lester mixed to their wine.
Matthew was with her, making sure that Sophia felt comfortable. After a while, her medicine took effect and she was now feeling better.
Matthew also got the laboratory result. The champagne contained a drug substance that had an aphrodisiac effect. It\'s the same drug that was found in Sophia\'s system.
This was enough evidence that Sophia was drugged and someone spiked her drinks.
"Sophie… are you sure about this? You should file a complaint against Marcus. He took advantage of you." Matthew asked her again.
They were now sitting in the lobby of the hospital. Matthew was still mad just thinking about what happened to Sophia.
Sophia, who was very silent in her seat, just shook her head.
"No need, Matt. Besides, it\'s also my fault for trusting him. I just want to forget this. Once I file a complaint against Marcus, this will become a talk and hot topic in the school. My school days will not be peaceful anymore. I just want to focus on my studies."
Matthew just nodded at her. He understood what she meant but still, he couldn\'t accept that Marcus won\'t get any punishment for this.
Matthew heaved a deep sigh. "If that is your decision then I will respect that. Sophia… if you need my help please don\'t hesitate to ask me. If they try to hurt you again… I will make sure that they will pay for their actions."
Matthew believed that Marcus, his sister, and their friends were all aware of this. They planned it out. He encountered two men who were stopping him from going to the Queen\'s Hall.
He suspected them as Marcus\' accomplices. \'Are they trying to bully Sophia?\' Matthew clenched his fists at that thought.
He wanted to protect Sophia against those scheming bastards.
"Thank you, Matt. Don\'t worry about me. I can protect myself. I learned my lesson now. I will avoid them from now on."
Sophia learned from Matthew that Jade and her friends might be involved in this incident as well. She decided to avoid them from now on.
She won\'t let them take advantage of her once again. She was done being good to them. They should do their Mathematics homework from now on. She won\'t help them anymore.
"Sophie, honestly I am not at ease with this. Why don\'t you complain to the school management and student council regarding this? I still think that they deserve to receive punishment for doing this to you." Matthew was still convincing Sophia.
Sophia looked at Matthew helplessly. "Matthew, I felt very embarrassed about what happened inside that room. I-I don\'t want others to know… that\'s why I don\'t want to complain anymore."
\'They also come from influential families. I don\'t know if my complaint will work against them,\' Sophia added to her thoughts. She didn\'t mention it to Matthew because she didn\'t want to trouble him further.
Sophia felt like crying once again. Matthew felt alarmed seeing Sophia\'s expression.
Matthew couldn\'t help but pull Sophia and engulf her into his arms.
"I\'m sorry. Okay. Just forget my suggestion. Please don\'t cry anymore," Matthew softly mumbled while stroking Sophia\'s back and her hair.
Sophia just let Matthew hug her. She needed this right now. She felt very devastated. But Matthew\'s presence somehow comforted her.
She was touched by Matthew\'s action. She almost lost her dignity but he came on time and saved her. She was indebted to him.
She was very grateful to Matthew. She thought he was doing this because she was Lillie\'s friend.
***********
In that same hospital, Lester and John had their physical check-up and got their medical certificates. They did this to have proof that they were assaulted by someone that night.
On Monday, they would file a complaint in the School Management and Student Council, thinking that Matthew was also a current student of the University of Imperial Knights.
They were also planning to file a lawsuit against him to have compensation from him. They received a hard beating from Matthew and this was the only way they could think of to punish him.
After they got their physical examination result and medical certificates, John and Lester went back to the University of Imperial Knights to continue and enjoy the party with their friends.
They were excited to see the ladies. They would be rejoicing with them for the success of their Mission. John was also eager to get his reward from Jade.
Marcus, on the other hand, went home right away. He was in a bad mood after what happened between Sophia and him. He was also mad after confronting his friends.
He was still thinking of Sophia. The intimate moment he shared with Sophia still lingered in his memory. He cursed himself, seeing the bulge in his pants.
\'Argh! I\'m crazy! I messed up!\' Marcus punched his steering wheel.
He wondered how he would face her. He decided to apologize to her on Monday. He just hoped that Sophia would believe him. He didn\'t spike her drink.

~ University of Imperial Knight ~
Jade and her friends were now sitting at their table. They just finished dancing with their other classmates.
"Hey, Jade, do you have an update? Where\'s John and Lester? Sophia and Marcus are not here also. Do you think our plan succeeded?" Emma asked Jade curiously.
Since Jade\'s attention was focused on Liam, Tristan, and Zhen-Zhen a while ago, she didn\'t notice the message from John.
She was still feeling frustrated whenever she would recall Zhen-Zhen dancing with Liam and Tristan pulling her out of the dance floor.
"Wait, let me check," Jade said before getting her phone inside her purse.
"I got a message from John. It was sent 30 minutes ago. Let\'s see," Jade stated.
"Oh really?! Open it! Wow, I\'m so excited," Nyka said with eagerness.
[ John: "My Queen, it\'s all done. Mission Accomplished. See the attached video. I will be waiting for my reward. ^^,) ]
Jade let out a soft giggle after reading John\'s message.
"Ladies, we got it! Mathematics will no longer be our problem. Come here… John sent me the video. Let\'s watch Sophia\'s Scandal."
