Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 493

“Soph had liked Mr. Harris for such a long time yet he sent her in himself, she must be terribly upset.”

“Mr. Harris and Soph’s parents are truly outrageous! At least her brother is doing something, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t have a say in the family. No matter how I see it, it doesn’t seem as if Soph staged the car accident to kill someone! Have they lost their minds?”

“Soph doesn’t have an easy life, she just got out of prison and Mr. Harris has forced her to work at Dream Club. She suffered so many illnesses when she was in prison too, first her legs and the pulmonary edema incident. My heart breaks for that poor girl.”

…

All these years, Victor had heard about Sophia through his Aunt Lucy. Although he had only seen pictures of her, he knew almost everything about her.

He knew that she lived wild and carefree when she was young, and he knew how quiet and reserved she became after being released from prison, becoming the most humble person he knew.

It was hard to place his feelings into words but somehow, a stranger who came to life from his aunt’s stories somehow felt like an old, trusty friend to him.

“Ladies and gentleman, the plane is about to descend now. Please fasten your seatbelts.”

The announcement was then followed by a translated version in French.

After the plane landed, Victor grabbed his suitcase and got into his friend’s car. As soon as he got in the car, his aunt came calling. “Vic, have you reached the airport?”

“Yeap.”

“There’s an emergency with Soph’s legs so don’t go home first, head to the hospital, she’s waiting there now!”

His Aunt Lucy who had doted on him since young, was actually asking him to not go home first, but to the hospital for someone else’s sake.

Victor felt a little envious and slightly amused. It seems that his aunt truly liked this Ms. White very much.

He agreed to her request and ended the call swiftly. Then, he turned to his friend and said, “I’m not going home now, can you please drop me at the hospital?”

“You’re bringing your luggage to the hospital? When did you become so dedicated to your work?” His friend teased him.

Victor chuckled and shook his head, then he repeated his aunt’s words to his friend.

“Ah, that Ms. White is truly a poor thing. When I went to the club some time ago, I saw her kneeling on the floor at the entrance of the club. With her leg injuries, it’s basically torture to have her kneel for such a long period of time.”

“I heard she got punished because of Mr. Jones. Hey, aren’t there rumors that Mr. Jones used to be Ms. White’s admirer? Who knows, he might be mad because she didn’t give him a chance last time and he’s just seeking revenge now.”

His friend said all that casually.

Victor frowned quietly. Perhaps it was because his aunt was always talking about Ms. White, he had a good impression of her and he did not feel good about hearing her unfortunate happenings.

He especially felt even more unpleasant because the ones bullying her were Mr. Harris and Mr. Jones, and just because they abused their powers.

He had always heard good things about Mr. Jones, but it turns out he was not much of a good guy either.

The car stopped outside at the hospital where Victor got down. “I’ll leave my luggage with you for now and come by to pick it up tonight.”

“No problem.” His friend was worried and could not help but add, “Mr. Harris should be there as well. Don’t go around messing with the Harris family, they’re not someone you want to have on your bad side. Be cautious with your words and control your temper when you deal with them, okay?”

Victor simply mumbled a response and set off to see his mother at the dean’s room before he finally got to meet the Sophia White he had heard so many stories about.

She was nothing like he expected.
