Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 444

Victor kept his hand on the door as he stared at Sterling and Nicole quietly.

“We are here to sincerely apologize to you, Dr. Hemingway,” Sterling said as he withdrew his leg.

Victor hesitated for a moment before replying, “I understand where you’re coming from, Mrs. White, but after being misunderstood so badly, I don’t think I can just let it go and pretend it never happened, I hope the two of you can understand as well.”

“Yes, we do.” Sterling’s face was filled with sadness as he continued, “In the past… Soph was extremely upset when she was misunderstood by everyone.”

He tried to smile but he could not force himself to do so. “Anyway, please just keep these for yourself. We don’t mind if you can’t forgive us but we would like to at least show our sincerity.”

It seemed as if they were not intending to leave unless he accepted their gifts. Victor reached out for one of the bags Sterling was holding and said, “One of it should be enough for me now, you should keep the rest for yourselves.”

“If you can’t finish all of them, you can give them to your colleagues,” Sterling said as he tried to nudge his way into the room, “Here, I don’t think you can carry all of these, let us bring them in for you.

However, Sophia was lying on the bed in the room right then, and if Sterling saw her, there was no doubt he would be suspicious as well no matter how slow he was.

Victor’s eyes widened in shock as he quickly stopped Sterling. “It’s fine, please keep the rest for yourselves.”

“We prepared this just for you so just keep it yourself!” Sterling was already half a step into the room and he could easily look into the room right then.

However, Victor stood still in front of him and blocked his view so he was unable to see anything.

“I already said so, you can keep the rest for yourselves.” The gentleness in Victor’s usual tone was gone now.

Nicole had brought Sterling along genuinely to apologize to Victor, but she could not help but sense that Victor was acting strangely today. She had a feeling that he was afraid of them entering the room and seeing something they should not.

Moreover, this was the room where the men had brought the huge storage boxes in. Was it possible that he was hiding something in this room and she had just happened to miss it when she was in the room earlier?

Countless thoughts and speculations flashed in her head, and her instincts were telling her that whatever or whoever inside this room right now was somehow related to Sophia.

“Dr. Hemingway, please don’t be angry. My husband and I have already eaten so it would be a waste for us to bring these back. Are there any patients or family members in this room? If you don’t want the food, you can just share it with them.”

Sterling was dejected because of Sophia, but he still mumbled a few words of agreement.

“Mrs. White, do you still doubt me?” Victor asked as he furrowed his brows, “Would you like to go in to inspect the room once again?”

He gritted his teeth and stepped aside as he spoke.

He knew Mrs. White would only become more suspicious of him if he stood at the door and blocked them from entering the room.

Nicole knew that anyone would be furious for being constantly doubted, but a voice in her head was urging her to enter the room, there might be some secrets hidden in there that were related to Soph.

After hesitating for a long while, she decided to take the risk of offending Victor once again and entered the room to have a look.

Judging from the look in her eyes, Victor could already guess her decision. Although he forced himself to remain calm, his heart began racing against his chest.

With Ms. White’s current condition, it was impossible for her to physically move and hide. If Mr. and Mrs. White happened to see Ms. White lying in the room, how was he going to explain himself?

“I…” Victor’s heart leaped as Nicole spoke while blood rushed through his veins.

However, at the same time, Sterling spoke as well, “My wife just doesn’t want to waste the food, she didn’t mean anything else. Since you don’t want the rest of it, we’ll take them back then, Dr. Hemingway.”

“Alright then, I still have things to do, please excuse me now.” Victor blinked unnaturally as he gave the couple before him a curt nod before he closed the door right in their face.
