Besides, University A was also her alma mater, so it was no wonder that she ran into Hailey Griffith while eating hot and spicy soup last time.
“Alright, please wait, I’ll be there shortly.”
After hanging up the phone, Cherish told Er Xi to wait there and rushed out.

Before long, Cherish arrived at University A and appeared before Hailey.
Not only that, but she also saw her brother, Sam.
The teacher from the disciplinary office explained the situation briefly. Two students argued over a shared activity room, and during the dispute, Hailey accidentally injured the other student’s leg.
The school’s doctor had splinted Sam’s leg, which was slightly misaligned. The precise injury was still unknown and required hospital examination, but Sam adamantly refused to go.
Sam was surprised to see his sister arrive. During weekends, he rarely went home, as he would usually stay at school or work part-time outside. Sam was a well-known top student at University A, and quite handsome at that.
Usually cold and aloof, it was hard to fathom why Sam would argue with Hailey Griffith, making Cherish feel quite awkward.
On one side was her biological brother, and on the other was William Griffith’s sister. She really was stuck in the middle, unable to please either party.
Fortunately, the injury didn’t seem too severe. Cherish talked to the school authorities before successfully taking the two troublemakers away.
“Sam, how could you argue with a girl? If Dad finds out, he’ll definitely scold you.”
“She’s not really a woman, sis. You’re too funny!” Sam wasn’t usually sarcastic, but his words were sharp and cruel against Hailey. Cherish couldn’t guess what caused their disagreement.
“Hey, what’s your problem? Who’s not a woman?” Hailey bristled at Sam’s words, as if her earlier kick had been too lenient.
“That’s right, you’re not a woman. What then?” Sam challenged. If she were a real woman, would she have hurt his foot like this?
Furious, Hailey raised her fist to strike again, but Cherish stepped in front of her. “Hailey, don’t stoop to his level. He just has a poisonous tongue. Look, Sam’s leg is injured now. Let’s take him to the hospital first. Can you help me?”
Since Cherish made the request, Hailey reluctantly agreed to help. Initially, Sam refused her assistance, but only after his sister smacked him on the head did he grudgingly accept it.
Worried about Sam, Cherish had ignored her ringing phone during the trip. Only after Sam was taken into the operating room did she check her phone, already knowing that the missed calls were from William.
“Hello.”
“Cherish, didn’t I tell you not to ignore my calls like this, and to inform me of any issue that arises? Do you know how anxious I was when I couldn’t reach you?”
“I’m sorry, William. My brother hurt his foot, and we’re currently at the First People’s Hospital. It wasn’t intentional. By the way, your sister Hailey is here too.”
“What happened?”
After Cherish explained the situation, William arrived at the hospital shortly after.
As soon as he reached the hospital, William spoke to the dean of the First People’s Hospital. The dean treated him with great courtesy, apparently recognizing another VIP.
Sam’s doctor was replaced with an orthopedic specialist, and his room was upgraded to a VIP ward.
All the preferential treatment was thanks to a man named William Griffith.
Cherish felt a small sense of happiness and security in having someone to rely on. Her admiration for this man grew even more.
