Harvey Ferber's face went pale, and he instinctively moved to support her, but before his hands could even touch Sophia, Brandon had already scooped her up around the waist and started heading down from the boat.
"There's a hospital on board!"
Harvey blurted out in a panic.
Brandon didn't give him the time of day, turning to head down the stairs.
Harvey stepped right up to block Brandon's path: "You can't just take her without her say-so."
With that, he shot a look over to Clark in the crowd: "Stop him!"
Already on his phone, Harvey was calling the doc to hurry down – Sophia had passed out.
Amanda was supposed to be waiting for Sophia in her room, but the commotion below brought her running. Catching sight of Sophia in Brandon's arms, her face shifted dramatically, and she snapped at Brandon: "What the hell are you doing? Who the heck are you? What's the big idea, snatching people in broad daylight..."
Her words were cut short as Harvey stopped her: "Zip it, Amanda."
But Amanda was past listening, her eyes filled with concern for the unconscious Sophia, then turning back to Harvey: "What's wrong with Sophia? Did you call a doctor?"
At the mention of "Sophia," Brandon shot her a cold glance, then turned to Harvey.
Harvey's face showed no embarrassment, just calmly looking at Brandon: "She's just started to heal from some serious injuries. It's been a rough couple of months of bed rest to claw back her life. She's still weak and can't handle being jostled around like this."
Brandon paused for a moment at his words, then carried Sophia upstairs to the ship's hospital.
"Doc, can you check her out for me?"
As soon as they entered the hospital, Brandon called out urgently to the emergency room.
The doctor rushed over to examine Sophia.
"She'll be alright, just weakened from her recent injuries and probably overwhelmed with emotion, leading to her fainting," the doctor explained. "Some rest should do her good."
