Although the doctor tried his best to treat him, Avery Mo's condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse. He was in a coma because of falling into the water and the stress of driving a car for several days. Sophia Gu stayed by his side and never left, refusing to listen to anyone's advice.
"Avery Mo, you bad girl, do you want to scare me now because I scared you before? Waiting is really a tormenting and frustrating thing. Was it the same when you received the call from the hospital?"
Sophia Gu lifted Avery Mo's sleeve and applied medicine to the wound on her arm, and continued, "I, a dead person, actually came here and became a princess. I would never dare to do this in my dreams. But the only thing I am worried about is you. I think you must have cried your heart out at my funeral, just like you did at grandma's funeral.
In the first two days after I came here, I was wondering if you would eat on time without my urging? If you meet a boy you like, will there be someone to give you advice like me? I didn't expect you to come through. And you..."
While Sophia Gu was chattering to herself, the maid Chunying came in and told her that Elias Gu asked her to go to the study.
Sophia Gu knew that she was too emotional when she saw Avery Mo in the morning. In Elias Gu's eyes, his sister who had been in a coma for many years was so concerned about a person who suddenly appeared. She must have a lot of doubts in her heart. It was very considerate to wait until her emotions stabilized before talking to her.
This also gave Sophia Gu time to come up with a reasonable explanation for what she did after seeing Mo Chu wake up.
"Okay, then you take good care of her for me and let me know if there's any problem."
After Sophia Gu entered the study, she said without waiting for Elias Gu to speak, "Brother Wang, do you want to ask me why I knew this girl, and why I was so worried when I saw that she was dying?"
Seeing that Sophia Gu spoke frankly, Elias Gu didn't want to ask in a roundabout way and nodded.
"Brother, do you still remember when I was ten years old and went back to Cangzhou with my mother to visit my grandmother? At that time, my mother and I encountered bandits on the way back to the palace, and it was she who saved us."
"She saved you? Why didn't you and your mother tell her about it?"
"To be precise, in their home, under the desperate obstruction of the guards, my mother took me to avoid the bandits. In a panic, we accidentally fell into a cave. The cave was very narrow. We groped the wall in the cave for a long time and finally saw a beam of light. When we walked out of the cave, we were shocked by the scene in front of us. There were green mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers blooming, smoke from thatched cottages, chickens and dogs, people working in the fields, and children chasing and playing. My mother said that the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere was something that even the best painters in the palace could not paint.
Then a little girl found me and my mother. This little girl was the woman we rescued this time, Avery Mo. After some questioning, she learned that we had encountered bandits and mistakenly entered this place, so she took us to her home to rest.
The people here are very simple and honest. When they knew we were from outside, they all came to see us. They surrounded my mother and asked about the outside world. They also asked us to stay here for a few more days. My mother thought that if we met the bandits at this time, it would take four or five days for the palace to send people to get rid of the anger, so she readily agreed.
Since Avery Mo and I were of similar age and lived in her house, we played together all day long, catching shrimps in the river, picking fruits from the trees, playing shuttlecock, playing hide-and-seek, and flying kites. That period of time can be said to be the freest and happiest days I have had since I was born in the palace.
On the day we left, many people came to see us off and warned us not to tell anyone about this place, because even if we did, we would never find it again. Mother knew their concerns, and after we left, she repeatedly told me not to mention this matter. I had already promised Mother, and I was worried that someone would disturb my friend's residence, so I naturally didn't say more. "
After listening to Sophia Gu's explanation, Elias Gu still had doubts in his heart, that is, why was his mother's white fox jade pendant in Avery Mo's hand? He clearly buried this jade pendant with his mother, could it be that there is another jade pendant that is exactly the same?
Sophia Gu cherishes this friend so much now and he doesn't want to make things difficult for her. He will find a chance to ask about the jade pendant after the person wakes up.
"Since she saved your life and that of your mother, let her stay in the mansion to recover. You can have a companion."
Sophia Gu was overjoyed after hearing this, and even pulled Elias Gu's arm and started to act coquettishly, "As expected, Brother Wang loves me the most. Brother Wang is the most handsome man in the world. Sophia Gu likes Brother Wang the most~"
Seeing Sophia Gu so happy, Elias Gu couldn't help but laugh too. "Girl, you are so sweet. Since you like Brother Wang so much, why don't you accompany him at noon today..."
Before Elias Gu could finish, he was interrupted by Chunying who came in from outside. "Princess, princess, she, she..." Sophia Gu saw that it was Chunying, the maid she had left to take care of Avery Mo, and she was shocked to see that she came in such a panic. "What happened to her?"
"She's awake."
"real?"
Upon hearing this, Sophia Gu left Elias Gu and made Elias Gu, who was still enjoying her flattery, feel extremely depressed.
Nolan Fang, who was waiting outside, saw this and couldn't help but feel sorry for Elias Gu. "Why do I feel that Princess Sophia Gu cares more about this woman than the prince? She disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Elias Gu was also feeling depressed at the moment, and Nolan Fang's words just hit the nail on the head. "I asked you to investigate but you were not active, but you are very concerned about my family affairs. It seems that I gave you too much monthly salary, right?"
When Nolan Fang heard that Elias Gu was going to deduct his salary, he immediately cried poor and said, "My Lord, that's not what I meant. Please don't deduct my monthly salary. I still need to save money to get married."
Elias Gu looked at Nolan Fang's useless look and said, "Why don't you get to work now?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Nolan Fang ran away quickly after hearing that.

At Sophia Gu's residence, the maids were guarding outside the door, and only Sophia Gu and Avery Mo were in the room.
"Are you really Lila Chen?"
Avery Mo simply couldn't imagine that the gentle and refined Sophia Gu in front of him and the crazy woman Lila Chen who drank to her death were the same person.
"To be precise, before I traveled through time, I am Sophia Gu, the younger sister of Wenxuan King Elias Gu."
Avery Mo frowned as he looked at the complacent Sophia Gu. Her conceited look made people want to beat her up, just like when Lila Chen was showing off.
"So, after traveling through time, you not only saved your life, but also became a princess!" Avery Mo looked at the rooftop speechlessly and shouted, "God is so unfair, why don't I have an identity after traveling through time!"
Sophia Gu immediately covered Avery Mo's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, it will cause unnecessary trouble. In order to explain why a princess like me would save you, I gave you a new identity. If anyone asks you, you must not make a mistake."
Sophia Gu repeated to Avery Mo exactly what she had said to Elias Gu. Avery Mo couldn't hold back his laughter when he was halfway through. "Hahahaha, Chen An..."
After receiving Sophia Gu's warning look, Avery Mo immediately changed his tone and said, "I know, I know, my Princess Sophia Gu, your nine years of compulsory education were not in vain. You used Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring just right! Here's a refill!"
Even at such a serious moment, Avery Mo did not forget to mock her. Gu Qing twisted Avery Mo's thigh hard, and the pain made Avery Mo beg for mercy immediately.
Chunying, who was guarding outside the house, vaguely heard laughter and screams from inside. She eavesdropped through the crack of the door but couldn't hear what they were saying at all. She was very curious, but Sophia Gu had told her that she could only go in if she was called. She really couldn't imagine what the two were talking about so excitedly.
After playing around for a while, the two finally started to get serious and put together their statements so that they could answer them with ease if anyone, especially Elias Gu, asked them about it.
