Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 446

“You think too highly of her.” Victor could not care less about the old woman.

“Don’t forget that she managed to kidnap Mr. Harris in the past and got off unscathed. Moreover, she currently has the upper hand in this fight against the Harris family. Do you think she is someone we can afford to provoke?”

“She’s only able to confront the Harris family because someone else is targeting them. That’s where we’re different from the Harris family, we don’t have any conflict of interest with this mysterious bigshot behind her back so I doubt the person would help Sylvia to oppose us.”

Hence, he had no reason to worry about Sylvia.

Madam Hemingway paused for a moment to think. He did make a good point. As long as they did not get exposed for faking Sophia’s death, the mysterious bigshot did not have a reason to oppose them. She had truly overestimated Sylvia’s powers.

“Take good care of your patient.” Madam Hemingway cast a look at the ward and lowered her tone as she continued, “Be careful yourself, I’m leaving now.”

Victor nodded and returned to the room. Unsure whether these were important information to Sophia, Victor still briefly told her what happened outside.

“Dr. Hemingway, there’s no need for you to refuse to treat her husband for my sake,” Sophia said softly, “She doesn’t know her limits, it’s best if you don’t provoke her.”

She had only recently come into contact with Sylvia, but from these brief exchanges, she knew that Sylvia was a ruthless person who kept petty grudges.

“You don’t have to worry about this, I turned her down because I don’t want to treat a person who doesn’t even have her moral values straight. Besides, I’m a doctor, nobody would possibly hold a grudge against me because of one little thing that she says,” Victor replied.

He was not talking big either. The Hemingway family’s reputation was on par with the White family, but Mr. Hemingway was a bomb technician who specialized in atomic bombs so he was one of the key figures under the national protection program.

Madam Hemingway and Victor were specialist doctors themselves, and since everyone was bound to fall sick at some point in life, they generally did not dare to offend influential people in the medical field.

Knowing that she was not the reason he turned them down, Sophia felt relieved and said nothing more.

Besides, her thoughts were already somewhere else.

“Ms. White, is there something you want to ask?” Victor asked when he noticed her hesitating to speak, “As long as it’s not related to medical secrets, I can try to answer your question.”

Sophia licked her lips and could not hold the question back any longer. “How are Charles, my brother, and my sister-in-law?”

She and Charles were lovers so it was only normal that she asked about her other half, he had already expected this. However, there was an indescribable feeling that rose to his chest at the mention of Charles.

He suppressed this inexplicable feeling and said, “They haven’t been well ever since finding out you were dead. Like I told you before, Mr. Harris fainted once.”

“From what I know, they haven’t left the hospital ever since and they haven’t even changed their clothes either. A little birdie also told me that Mr. Harris hasn’t returned to the company even once because he’s solely fixated on revenge.”

Sophia lowered her gaze sullenly.

She had already expected Ster and Nicole’s reactions, but she did not know her death would impact Charles so greatly.

Of course, he would be mad and upset about her death, but knowing Charles’ personality and abilities, she had thought he would secretly plan his revenge in the dark and come up with a meticulous plan to capture everyone behind the scenes.

However, seeing how reckless he was right now, Sylvia and the others might take this as an opportunity to slip in and attack him. What would happen then?

“Have you changed your mind?” Victor asked.

Sophia hesitated slightly before she shook her head.

If she was in his shoes right now, she would lash out as well, but she really could not risk everything on the line and let them know the truth right now…

In the hospital room.

Charles merely took a brief glance at the video that showed Leah suffering in prison and threw the tablet aside before he took the urn containing Sophia’s ashes into his arms again.
