Sofia sat at the bedside of Meredith, holding her friend's hand.

"Gosh Merri, I was so scared. I thought I had lost you." Sofia said squeezing Merri's hand tight.

Merri gave her an apologetic small, "I'm really sorry. Sofia, I have made you worried."

Sofia shook her head, "No. Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault."

Sofia's gaze fell on Atlas who was leaning against the wall at the corner of the room. His arms crossed across his chest. Atlas met Sofia's blaming gaze and then he looked away.

"Sofia, I hope you're not blaming Atlas for what had happened?" Meredith asked when she saw the tension between the two of them.

Sofia scoffed, "Of course, I am. It's his responsibility to protect you. If a man can't protect his woman, then he doesn't deserve her!"
