Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 230

"If you know that he’s tactless, then why didn’t you help him out as his eldest brother? If you could just pay more attention to prompting him when he can’t catch up in the company, then he wouldn’t have made a fool out of himself by making those silly mistakes!" Master Harris chided.

Oscar said yes to everything he said over and over again. "It’s all my fault. I will pay more attention in the future."

Sophia’s grandparents were from the countryside. She would only meet them once every Lunar New Year. They only had one child and that was her father. Her maternal grandparents, on the other hand, had passed away a long time ago. Similarly, they only had one child and that was her mother.

Therefore, she had only heard others talking about how biased an elder could be but was never able to imagine it. After seeing the way Master Harris behaved today, she finally knew how biased a person could really be.

She tugged at her lips at the thought of this. Self-deprecation was written all over her face.

She could not even save herself now, let alone save others. It was best for her to stay out of other people’s family affairs.

Master Harris ignored the Harris brothers and walked in after pushing the ward door open. He said grumpily at the same time, "You, come in with me."

"Mm," Sophia responded and followed him inside while feeling nervous and uneasy. The sweat on her forehead was seeping out layer after layer.

Back then, she might have been scared, but she was not terrified when she heard the things others said Master Harris had done. That was also why she was not afraid to list out two conditions in front of Master Harris previously.

Nevertheless, after learning that Master Harris was going to send her to prison today, the fear she felt was so real that it felt like maggots were clinging obstinately to her soul.

She did not even know how she had offended Master Harris that he wanted to destroy her with the excuse that he was helping her to escape!

Master Harris went in and sat on the hospital bed. He then raised his head, looked at her, and snorted. "You’re sweating so much. Are you scared?"

Sophia opened her mouth but did not know how to answer the question. As such, she chose not to say a word.

"Did you lie to me or did you do something bad to the Harris family?" Master Harris smacked the hospital bed without warning and asked sternly.

Sophia's heart thumped hard along with that smack. It then began pounding violently.

She wiped the sweat off of her head. Even the strength of her voice seemed to have been squeezed out of her. "I’m sure that there isn’t a person out there who isn’t afraid of meeting you."

Master Harris' eyes darkened a tad. In the end, he merely harrumphed heavily without refuting her statement.

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like her back had been entirely soaked through.

"If it hadn't been for my stage four lung cancer, who knows if your child is even allowed to be born!" Master Harris' expression changed several times. His gaze eventually fell on her belly.

Sophia pressed her lips firmly. Sweat ran down her jaw, refracting the colorful and brilliant rays under the sun.

Master Harris seemed to be placing his hope on the child in her belly. If that was the case… How was she supposed to make a baby out of nothing?

"Why do you still want to leave when you’re pregnant?" Master Harris’ eyes were dark. "Are you planning to blackmail Charles once you’re out there?"

Sophia clenched her clothes and tried her best to stay calm. Despite that, her voice still sounded shaky. "To be honest with you… I can't bring myself to forgive Charles for the things he has done, nor do I have plans to give birth to this child."

"That's the Harris family’s bloodline. Who are you to say if you want or don’t want the child anymore?" Master Harris stood up, raising his voice abruptly.

Sophia dropped her eyes without a sound.

The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She might end up offending Master Harris again.

"You should be thankful that you’re pregnant with this child. Otherwise, you may not be able to stand here at all and will only end up in prison where you’ll spend the rest of your life with no one to care about you!" Master Harris said.

Sophia's eyes widened abruptly. Her fists were clenched.

She wanted to hold herself back, but she still could not do it in the end. "Can I just ask you a question? I promised you to leave Charles, so why did you still… refuse to tolerate my existence?"
