Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 282

"It's too obvious. It's just like idol dramas, I can see pink bubbles everywhere." Madam Hemingway looked like she was in a really good mood. "Two of my assistants went to Master Harris as soon as they walked out the door. He will probably hear about Sophia’s hospitalization caused by Ms. Leah and Mr. Jones real soon."

Sophia straightened up her spine and said seriously, “Sorry for troubling you this time, Aunt Hemingway."

"You don't have to thank me. This doesn’t require much effort at all." Madam Hemingway walked up to her and looked her up and down curiously. “I know that your face is made up, but what's with the sweat on your face?"

Sophia took out a small bag of water lying next to her pillow. There was a long thin tube attached to the water bag with not much water left.

"I hid the water bag in my coat and the water pipe runs along my back into my hair. I just need to squeeze the water bag and the water will start flowing down." Sophia demonstrated to her. The pipe was very thin, hence the water that flowed out passed through her hair before flowing down her face. It did look like cold sweat was breaking out of her forehead indeed.

Madam Hemingway was stunned for a moment then burst out laughing. "Oh gosh, this is so funny… If you hadn’t called me in advance, I would have been fooled just like Mr. Jones!"

Sophia licked her dry lips. If her act was not realistic enough, she would not be able to fool Leah and Mr. Jones. It would also be hard to deceive Master Harris.

"I can see that you guys share a pretty good relationship now. When are you planning to get married?" Madam Hemingway asked with a smile, "Since Vic isn’t married yet, I’d like for him to participate in your bouquet throwing and bring home a daughter-in-law as soon as possible."

Sophia blinked and looked at Charles.

"We don’t know when we will get married yet, but we will get married for sure." Charles said, "If Dr. Hemingway is single by then, then he is more than welcome to be my best man."

The curvature hanging on the corners of Madam Hemingway's lips widened considerably after hearing his words. "That's for sure. It will be great if he can receive the good fortune pass on from both of you."

"You don’t need to worry so much, Aunt Hemingway." Sophia said, "Dr. Hemingway is a person with good looks, high academic qualifications, and good family background. I even saw someone trying to pursue him some time ago. Who knows, he might get married before Charles and me."

Madam Hemingway sighed. "There’s no doubt that he has many pursuers, but he doesn’t like any of them and that worries me."

She paused before adding, "Actually, he quite likes girls like you, but it's a pity you’re taken."

"You worry me when you say that, Madam Davis," Charles said.

"Stop pulling my leg, Mr. Harris." Madam Hemingway said with a smile, "Vic is only inclined to accepting girls like Soph, but he will never snatch another man’s woman and be the other man in a relationship."

Charles’ lips curved upward. "I have faith in Dr. Hemingway."

At this moment, someone started knocking on the door and pushed the door in after obtaining permission to enter.

Victor walked in wearing a doctor’s lab coat. His good-looking face was stained with a trace of suspicious sweat. His gaze swept rapidly around the ward before falling on Sophia. "I heard that Ms. White is sick?"

"Thanks for your concern, Dr. Hemingway." Charles moved his feet and stood in front of him calmly, cutting off his gaze that was fixed on Sophia. "Sophia is fine."

Victor smiled. "That's good then. I heard that Ms. White is suffering from the recurrence of her pulmonary edema and thought that Mr. Harris has done something to make her mad again. I’m glad that’s not the case.”

"Listen to this child, is that the right way for you to talk to somebody?" Madam Hemingway walked up to him, patted him on the head, and said grumpily, "Mr. Harris and Soph are so close. He can’t even wait to hold her in his arms and pamper her, so why would he do something to make Soph mad?”

Victor replied, "Too many similar incidents like that have happened before. Plus, with Aunt Lucy constantly nagging next to me, I subconsciously linked this incident to Mr. Harris. If the things I said earlier offended Mr. Harris, then do forgive me."

Madam Hemingway continued, "Vic shares a close relationship with Lucy, whereas Lucy dotes on Soph, hence she always asks Vic to take good care of Soph and also likes to tell Vic about your affairs. It’s no wonder Vic will think that way. Please don't blame him, Mr. Harris."
