Chapter 707: Turning Peril to Safety

Jiang An knew that she must be panicking now. She pulled her into her arms and said, “Don’t go see him yet. The doctor will save Gao Tian.”

Fortunately, the royal family would have a doctor accompanying them whenever they went out. He was treating his wound in an orderly manner. At the very least, he could stabilize Gao Tian’s condition.

Sophie suddenly realized something. “Where’s Little Jing? Where is he?”

With that, she was about to rush out when Jiang An quickly pulled her back. “Gao Jing is in the palace. The security measures there are very good. Nothing will happen. I’ll get someone to contact the secret guards over there and ask them to guard Gao Jing. Don’t be rash.”

With Jiang An by her side, Sophie finally calmed down a little. She was not an impulsive person, but this concerned her family, whom she cared about the most. It was inevitable that she would lose her mind.

The secret guards quickly responded. Gao Jing had already been protected by them and was very safe now.

Sophie was relieved to hear this, but she quickly tensed up again. Gao Tian had been shot and was still being rescued.

The doctor performed an emergency treatment and walked out with his hands covered in blood. “Your Highness, the bleeding has temporarily stopped, but we need to go to the hospital quickly to take out the bullet.”

Zou Bai walked over and said, “The car is already parked behind the church. You can leave now.”

There had just been a shooting incident. No one could say for sure if there were other people, so it was safest to go through the back door.

Sophie nodded. “Then let’s go now.”

The Zou family’s secret guards were very familiar with the roads in the capital. They drove steadily and quickly to the hospital.

The doctor who received the notice was waiting. When he saw the car stop, he immediately went to pick him up and pushed Gao Tian into the operating theater as quickly as possible.

This was the prince of the country. He could not let anything happen to him.

Sophie sat outside, despair on her face. “If I hadn’t come back, Gao Tian wouldn’t have gone through this.”

She would not blame anyone. She could only take the blame.

Jiang An knew what she was thinking now. She held her hand tightly and said, “Even if you hadn’t come back, they would have thought of ways to get rid of any possible threat when anyone else ascended the throne. Without any protection, you will be the first target.”

These words reminded Sophie that with her identity, this was destined to happen. She could not avoid it just because she wanted to.

Jiang An continued, “At least you still have the right to punish those people instead of running away.”

She did not want Sophie to give up on herself. If she backed down in this situation, it would really make those people happy and Gao Tian would have been injured in vain.

Sophie lowered her head and began to cry. She didn’t want Gao Tian to get hurt, no matter what.

“He’s a celebrity in China. Even if he’s not that famous, he doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing. However, he’s willing to live in a foreign country for me. Now he’s injured, my heart really aches for him.”

In Sophie’s view, love was love. There was no such thing as asking one to do anything for another. It was more important for everyone to be together.

Gao Tian’s first reaction just now was to protect her and completely expose his body to the attack range. If that person fired a second shot, he might not even have time to be sent to the hospital.

Jiang An stroked her back, silently giving comfort and support.

When Sophie was finally done crying, she sat up and wiped away her tears. “The people wouldn’t do such a thing. There’s no need for foreign forces to do such a thing. Anyway, no matter who becomes the king, it won’t affect them much. At most, it’s just a matter of how much benefits they have. If they get exposed for trying to assassinate the king, it will be a huge matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries. There can only be those people who want me dead.”

Sophie was not surprised that Henry and John, who she referred to as those people who had been driven out of the royal family, had such thoughts. They would definitely do anything for the throne.

But she wanted to know if Annie agreed to do this. That was her biological mother. Did she want her dead too?

Just as Sophie was trying to figure out what was going on, the doctor finally came out of the operating room. “Your Highness, the bullet has been removed. It didn’t hit any vital spots. He just needs to rest well.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, Sophie finally heaved a sigh of relief. Her tense nerves relaxed and she almost fell. It was Jiang An who held her up.

‘Thank you. Thank you so much,’ said Sophie with heartfelt gratitude.

To be honest, the doctor was also very happy. After all, this was the husband of the new queen, the noble prince of this country. If he could not be saved, what might happen?

Although medical disputes were illegal now, no one could save him if the Queen blamed him.

Now that she knew Gao Tian was fine, Sophie’s eyes were filled with hatred. “They want me dead, but I want them to see me ascend to the throne.”
