Pursuing Her Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Bridal Carry

Just when Willow thought she was done for, Sophie finally released her grip on the former's

neck."Remember, stay out of my way. If you see Ysabelle, run. Otherwise, I won't show you any more

mercy.”Sophie shoved her to the ground when she finished speaking.Willow gasped for air

desperately, her face pale as a sheet. There was no doubt in her mind that she would have met her

maker in less than a minute if Sophie had not released her grip.Enveloped by a sense of fear and

asphyxia, Willow took out her phone and gave Mason a call. When the latter saw it was her, he

ended the call and continued going through his documents.In spite of that, his phone rang again

the next second.In the end, Mason relented, for Willow had saved his life once, obligating him to

help her to the best of his abilities."Mason, save me. I'm about to die.” Willow's sobbing voice rang

out the moment the call was connected.Mason’s brows furrowed.”"What happened? Where are you?

Don't panic. I'll head over right now.”Mason drove straight to Jipsdale Premier High where the

guard at the entrance forbade him from driving in. Left without a choice, he got out of his car and

entered the school on foot.His gaze darkened when he saw Willow collapsed by the stairs.As for

Willow, she burst into tears at the sight of him.”"Mason, I thought that I would never see you again.

Death was knocking on my door just now.” Willow was trembling all over, for the fear she felt was

real. Mason wrinkled his brows."Willow, tell me what happened.” As they were on the school

grounds, the school administration had to take responsibility in the event a student was

hurt."Mason, I'm really scared. I thought I would really die."His heart softened when he saw how

violently Willow was shaking. Mason then carried her in his arms.”I'll send you to the hospital first.

We'll talk about it after you get examined.”As Willow wrapped her arms around his neck, Mason

brought her downstairs.”Mason, don't leave me. I'm afraid when I'm alone."Mason didn't answer, as

he could never give her what she truly desired. When the students saw the dashing Mason carry

Willow away, they gossiped amongst themselves."Oh my God! He's really handsome!"“Don’t you

know? He used to be a legend in Jipsdale Premier High. I heard that he and Willow are a

couple!"”"Mmm-hmm. I was told of it too. I even heard that Sophie also fancies Mason.”“Sophie

must be dreaming. He's out of her league!"“Precisely. Mason and Willow are a match made in

heaven!”“I'm so envious of her bridal carry! I wish I was the one in his arms.”"Say, why would Willow

get hurt? Could it be that Sophie hurt her? Sophie has been jealous of her, hasn't she?"“I think

Sophie must be the one who hurt her. Just a while ago, you missed how terrified Willow

looked.”“Sophie is really wicked. Who does she think she is?"“All of you should shut up. I'll smack

whoever that makes another sound."Ysabelle could no longer tolerate the harsh comments.Who the

f*ck is Mason? There's no way Soph is interested in him. Uncle Tristan is way better than

him!“Ysabelle, you had better stay away from her. Look, she even dares to strike her own

sister.”“Shut your trap.”Ysabelle was incompetent at verbal insults. Hence, that was the best she

could manage out of her limited vocabulary.Meanwhile, Sophie came over and swept a calm gaze

across the girls."Mason? Not my cup of tea.” With that, she held Ysabelle’s arm and left."Soph, don't

mind their words.” Ysabelle was worried that the snide remarks would hurt her.Even though Sophie

had nerves of steel, Ysabelle still sympathized with her upon hearing the comments.”Mmm-hmm.

I'm not bothered by them. Besides, they were not wrong. I was the one who roughed up Willow,”

she bravely admitted.”It was because of me, wasn't it?” Ysabelle, too, felt that Willow had it

coming.”l just can't bear the sight of her. Anyway, let's get back to class.” After Sophie helped

Ysabelle back to the classroom, the fourth period began.Upon hearing the news of Willow being

hurt, Yale and Charmaine rushed over.Both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of

Mason.Ever since Mason returned, his attitude toward Willow was colder than before, causing them

to worry that their relationship had taken a turn for the worse.But now that he was by Willow's side,

it was a sign that he still cared for her.“Thank you, Mason.”"Mason merely nodded before making

way for them.”Willa, what happened? How did you get hurt?"“Mom, it's Soph. I have no idea why

she did this to me.”"What? Sophie? That's audacious of her!” Yale bellowed. “What in the world is

she trying to do?"“Dad, I'm as clueless as you are!"Willow put on an innocent look as she sneaked a

glance in Mason's direction, hoping to learn his thoughts about the matter.However, all she could

see was a frown on his face."Willow, I'm sure there must be a misunderstanding. I know Sophie isn't

capable of such a thing.”"Mason, why don't you believe me? Are you saying that I'm making false

accusations against her?” Willow was on the brink of tears. How can he not trust me?*l just think

that she’s not a bad person.” In that case, are you saying that I'm the one that's bad?" Willow

summoned her tears at will to cement her pitiable look.“All right. I'll get to the bottom of the

matter. You should rest at home for the next few days instead of going to school.”Feeling annoyed,

Mason was in no mood to continue the topic."Mason..."Willow felt indignant. Even though I have

ended up in the hospital, he still refuses to stay by my side."Willa, Mason has just returned to the

country and probably has a lot on his plate. So, you shouldn't get in his way."Just as Yale spoke, he

stood up to walk Mason out, leaving Charmaine and Willow in the ward."Willa, was it really

Soph?"Willow gave her mother a pained look. “Mom, what's that supposed to mean? Do you also

think that I'm framing Sophie?"“That's not what I meant. I just don't want both of you to ruin your

relationship over a man.”"I'm not!” Willow was infuriated. Even my own mother doesn't believe

me."Fine. Let's just forget it. Going forward, don't step on Sophie's toes. Instead, focus your efforts

on staying by Mason's side."Speechless, Willow was further outraged by her mother's words. Still,

she wouldn't dare get on Sophie's nerves anymore. Recalling the fearless look on Sophie's face,

Willow believed that the former would really carry out her threats to kill her.By the time Mason

returned to his office, he had lost the mood to work.He then drove aimlessly around Jipsdale until it

was five. Eventually, he still failed to keep control of himself and headed toward Jipsdale Premier

High.He waited inside the car, feeling the need to have a proper talk with Sophie, as they didn’t

have the opportunity to do so the last time.Finally, after three complex experiments, Aaron

dismissed Bailey and Sophie from class.When both of them came out for dinner, Mason's car was

right in front of them.”What's wrong?” Bailey couldn't help but ask when Sophie stopped in her

tracks.
