Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 44

“Joke?” Charles chuckled and tapped the packet of tissue with the tip of his finger. “It would be such a waste to place tissue underneath yourself every time you get in. Next time you get into my car, prepare your own cushion.”

Leah was stunned. Nevertheless, she smiled. “It’s getting cold. It would be warmer with a cushion. Thank you for your concern, Charles.”

Charles smiled with a hidden intention. At the same time, his phone started vibrating. He picked up his phone and dropped the subject.

The car stopped in front of the hospital.

Sophia got out of the car first. She picked up the pieces of tissue and put them in the pocket of her coat. Then, she got the wheelchair out of the boot after much effort.

“I wanted to buy you some clothes, but now I’m making you do this. I’m so sorry.” Leah was seated in the wheelchair and was smiling upward at Sophia. “Why don’t we do this? The monthly salary of the maid in our house is about 20 thousand. It’s about 700 bucks a day. You should charge me for today, I’ll give you 700 bucks later.”

“It just so happens that I need money, thank you, Miss Jones.” Sophia forced a smile. Leah had a thousand ways to disgust her.

She pushed the wheelchair along as she walked into the hospital. On the way, Leah chatted with Charles while she walked behind them. It was exactly how Leah had mocked her. She looked exactly like a maid.

There were a lot of people in the hospital. The three of them waited for the lift behind a crowd.

A few young female students would turn around to look at them from time to time. They were chattering nonstop.

“Wow, that guy is so handsome. Look at his face, body, and mannerism. He looks like the male lead from a drama.”

“His girlfriend is so beautiful too! They’re such a perfect match. Too bad, she’s disabled.”

“It’s one thing that they’re handsome and beautiful. The lady behind the wheelchair is the maid, right? Why is she so pretty as well? However, her clothes are a little old-fashioned.”

When Leah heard the word ‘disabled’, she could not maintain the smile on her face. She looked at her semi-paralyzed leg and a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes. Nevertheless, her regular expression returned very quickly.

Charles looked at the chattering female students and furrowed his brows.

Ding!

The lift had arrived.

Sophia looked at the people who walked out of the lift. Her pupils constricted.

Why were her brother and sister-in-law in the hospital?

Were they sick?

Had her brother’s wounds from the accident worsened?

Sterling’s head was wrapped in bandages. He lowered his head and said something to the graceful and quiet woman next to him.

The woman was listening to him absent-mindedly when she spotted Sophia. Her gentle eyes brightened. She tugged on his shirt and said something excitedly.

“Soph…” Sterling lifted his head. Joy appeared on his handsome yet ruffian-looking face.

Sophia shook her head at the two of them and hinted to them that Charles and Leah were present.

When he noticed this, Sterling sealed his mouth shut reluctantly and made a gesture to the woman who was about to greet Sophia excitedly before pulling her away.

Charles had noticed the communication between the three of them. He scoffed. Did they think he was blind?

Sophia was unaware that Charles had noticed her brother and sister-in-law and had been watching them the entire time.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the wheelchair rolled forward slightly. At the same time, a woman nearby screamed in pain.

“Hiss! I-It hurts very badly!”

Sophia had an ominous feeling. She looked over at the sound of the voice and saw the wheelchair crushing the foot of the girl who had called Leah disabled.
