Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 260

The intern shook her head embarrassedly, but still stole glances at Sophia from time to time. In the end, she could not hold back her curiosity and asked, “Is Ms. Jones really the mistress? Did she really spend three years planning her scheme since she was fifteen years old?”

Click.

Right then, the office door opened.

“Have I never told you not to ask a patient about his or her private matters?” Victor walked into the room, the usual warmth in his face replaced with a cold look.

The intern’s face instantly paled as she stood up shakily. “Doctor… Doctor Hemingway.”

“Tell your course instructor to arrange a new mentor for you, you can go now,” Victor said as he left the door open.

The intern’s face went red as she said, “Dr. Hemingway, I guarantee you this won’t happen again. Please give me another chance!”

Then, she turned to Sophia with an embarrassed look. “Ms. White, I was just curious, I really didn’t mean anything. Would you accept my apology?”

“Do you want to leave the room now or should I fail you in your internship report?” Dr. Hemingway asked.

The intern wiped away the tears that brimmed her eyes and bowed to Victor. “I’m sorry, Dr. Hemingway, I’ll go now…”

She peeked at Victor one last time but seeing that he had not changed his mind, she left sulkily.

“I had an emergency patient just now, sorry to keep you waiting.” Dr. Hemingway filled a disposable paper cup with water and handed it to Sophia, then raised his own glass of water and took a few gulps.

“It’s alright, I just got here,” Sophia replied.

“Do you think I was too harsh just now?” Victor asked as he put his glass down.

“I’m sure you have your own reasons.”

Victor smiled and continued, “A doctor doesn’t just need skills, but medical ethics as well. That wasn’t her first time anyway.”

“I see.” Sophia had never liked talking about other people. “Are we doing the check-up later?”

“No, we can begin now,” Victor said.

He crouched down and began his examination. Surprised at what he discovered, he re-examined again, only to get the same results. “Your leg is recovering better than I have expected. Judging from its current state of recovery, we just need a minor procedure to correct the bone position. With a few more acupuncture sessions, you’ll be as good as new!”

“... Dr. Hemingway, by as good as new, do you mean that my leg will fully recover and I’ll regain full mobility like a normal person?” Sophia was stunned at first but tried to cover up the surprise in her voice.

Victor stood up as he picked up his equipment. He flashed her a smile and nodded. “That’s right. Congratulations, Ms. White!”

Sophia’s mouth slowly curled up as a huge grin broke across her face and happiness filled her eyes.

She could recover….

Her leg could recover!

She would be able to dance soon!!

“First, you won your court case, and now you receive such good news. Ms. White, good things really do come in pairs!” Victor glanced at his watch before he continued with a grin, “It’s noontime now. My mother and my great aunt prepared a meal to celebrate for you, would you do us the honor and stop by for lunch?”

With all her might, Sophia forced herself to stop grinning and nodded.

She bought some fruits and picked up two bottles of wine, then set off to the Hemingway’s together with Victor.

“Isn’t this the young lady from last time? Vic, you have the nerve to lie to us that she’s not your girlfriend!” The residents in his community were as welcoming as usual.

Victor smiled and replied, “Of all people, I can never lie to you! Think about it, if she’s my girlfriend, knowing how my great aunt is, do you think it’s possible that the entire community wouldn’t know? Who knows, there might even be rumors that I have a child coming along!”
