Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 283

In the ward.

After Madam and Dr. Hemingway walked out, Charles lifted the blanket, told Sophia to lie on her stomach, and massaged her waist. Thinking how uncomfortable it felt to stay in a posture lying on her stomach like that, Sophia wanted to refuse but ultimately, still could not change his mind.

"You don’t have to do that on purpose." Sophia put her hands on the pillow, resting her chin on her hands. "Dr. Hemingway isn’t interested in me."

Charles massaged her waist for a while, then moved to her right leg. "Do what on purpose?”

"...You know what," Sophia replied with a frown.

Charles grabbed her waist with both hands and turned her over, looking straight at her. "I don't know, why don't you tell me?"

He put his hands on her side and was very close to her, looking as though he would kiss her the next second.

"..." Sophia felt uncomfortable when they looked at each other like that. She tried to roll over and move further away from him, but was only halfway through when Charles grabbed her by the waist and stopped her.

Charles dragged her back to the center of the bed and stood up straight. "You think you’re at home? Keep going and you’ll roll off the bed."

Sophia turned her head to look at the side of the bed, there was a look of unease on her face.

She forgot that the bed was very small.

"How did you come up with this idea today?" Charles sat on the chair, removing the water bag and water pipe so that Master Harris or anyone else would not find out about it when they came in.

Sophia said mildly, "What else did you think I would do? Confront Leah like I used to?"

Charles made no comments.

"It’s just a spur-of-the-moment thing." Sophia did not explain too much either.

In fact, she has been thinking about it the whole time. Leah was a shameless and scheming b*tch. If she confronted Leah head-on, not only would she allow the latter the get off scot-free, but she would also give Leah a chance to play the victim.

When she heard that Leah had come over to apologize to her today, her first thought was: Leah would probably use self-injury to trick her by pretending to pass out and whatnot to win public sympathy.

Humans are strange species. When things happened, they would always sympathize with the weak subconsciously.

Sophia did not want to give Leah a chance to gain sympathy, so she suddenly thought of a way to use the method that Leah would use to gross her out to do the same to her.

Charles did not ask any more questions, though his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly when he noticed her reluctance to talk to him.

Sophia wanted to use this opportunity to return to the White residence yet was worried that her parents were unaware of her ‘illness’, hence she wanted to inform Sterling and Nicole so that they could pass on the news to her parents.

Just as she was about to send a message, she realized that she did not bring her mobile phone along.

"Did you bring your phone when you came out?" Sophia asked.

"No." The temperature in the ward was very high, so Charles took off his suit jacket and hung it on a clothes hanger next to him. “Are you trying to find out if Leah has managed to whitewash this incident by passing out this time? Or are you trying to inform Sterling and Nicole that you’re in the hospital?"

Sophia's pupils dilated a little. For a moment, she did not answer him.

This was not the first time Charles had guessed her intentions correctly. Even so, she would still feel an unspeakable sense of fear every time he managed to guess her thoughts.

He had supernatural perception yet still had no choice but to contend with people like Leah, Master Harris, and the rest. If that was the case, those people…
