Chapter 486

Megan walked out from behind him and flashed a stiff smile to Sophia and Charles.

“Brother, what’s the matter? Is something up?” Charles ignored his question and switched the topic as he got out of the bed and tucked Sophia in.

Sterling pointed at Megan and said, “It’s not me, she’s the one looking for Soph.”

Since Megan had indeed saved Soph’s life, he could not bring himself to turn down her request.

Charles nodded and looked at Megan.

Although there was no ill intention in his gaze, Megan still felt a cold shiver down her spine. “I-I’m here to talk to Sophia for a while, I’ll leave r-right after.”

“Alright.” Charles did not say anything more to her. Instead, he called Sterling out of the room to discuss something else.

All of a sudden, Sophia and Megan were left alone in the room.

Megan did not dare to look straight at Sophia’s disfigured face, and so she merely glanced at Sophia briefly before she quickly moved her gaze away.

“Sophia, honestly speaking, I don’t think I helped much. You don’t have to ask your brother to give me money or arrange a new job for me, or even introduce any of his rich friends to me.”

She felt guilty about how regretful she felt when she saw the cars chasing behind them, so she really did not feel comfortable accepting the three million dollars.

You did me a huge favor and you saved my life, you’re deserving of all those things so please just accept them.” Megan was not exactly a good person, but neither was she a bad person either. Sophia just did not want to owe her any favors.

Megan stuttered for a very long time before finally saying, “Then... I’ll take the job Mr. White offered me then, but I don’t want the money, and I don’t want to see his rich friends. Though, can I... Can I attend your wedding?”

Staring at her red face, Sophia could not tell whether Megan was embarrassed to accept the offers because of their almost non-existent friendship or because she wanted to meet more people at the wedding.

However, Sophia did not see the need to question her intention. Either way, Megan did help her and she wanted to repay her according to her wishes.

“Alright then. Please just take the money and don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get a wedding invitation too.”

Megan clenched her fists nervously. “I...”

As soon as she started, someone rushed into the room, followed by a loud sobbing noise. “Wuuwuuwuu... Sophia, you’re still alive! Oh, this is just too good to be true!”

Sophia turned to look at Clara who had just barged into the room and a sense of uneasiness rose in her chest. If Clara were to jump on her, her wounds would surely tear open again.

Fortunately, Zachary appeared behind Clara and yanked her by the collar just as she was about to rush forward. “How many times have I told you to control yourself! Did you not notice that Ms. White has wounds all over her body?”

“I know, I know! Let me go!” Clara struggled to break free of his grasp and turned back to Sophia. “Sophia, you really have good luck! Do you know how sad I was when I thought you were dead, thank goodness you...”

The next thing Sophia knew, Clara suddenly lifted the quilt and called out in shock, “Ah, why is your bra unclasped! Oh no, why do you have red spots all over your body? Are there mosquitoes even now in winter?”

Sophia, “...”

Fortunately, Zachary was smart enough to read the situation and quickly put the blanket back over to cover Sophia’s body.

Before Clara continued to pose an even more straightforward question, Zachary gently rubbed his temples and said, “Ms. White’s wounds are not completely healed yet so I doubt she can wear clothing that’s too tight. Stop asking any more questions now, if you hurt Ms. White or upset her in any way, I won’t stop Charles if he wants to beat you up!”

Not to mean anything to disgust or insult, he was surprised at how Charles could still desire Sophia even when her face was disfigured and her entire body was covered with scars and wounds. He was truly an animal!

“Why do you have to be so mean? You’re not sleeping in the bedroom tonight, you can make yourself cozy in the living room! Hmph!” Clara snorted at him angrily and turned to hug Sophia through the blanket. “Sophia oh Sophia, even if you have to lie to Big Iceberg that you’re dead, how can you hide it from me too? Do you not think of me as a friend?”

Sophia tried to push away the tiny head that was nuzzling against her chest and said wryly, “Ms. Robertson, please try to be a little gentle, it hurts!”

Megan could not help but feel a little envious as she saw the interaction between the two, and at the same time, she felt slightly disappointed.

She did not say goodbye to Sophia. Instead, she quietly slipped out of the room and gently closed the door behind her.

“... Thank you, Mr. White,” Megan hesitated slightly before replying.

How many years would it take her to earn three million dollars?

“Don’t fret it. You saved Soph, so you practically save my entire family. In fact, I should be thanking you.” Although Sterling tended to be a boastful and arrogant person at times, he treated the people who helped him differently.

Megan replied to him with a smile before she left.

Only then, Sterling turned to Charles and said, “You don’t have to propose to her, just get married right away.”

“Every woman dreams of a romantic marriage proposal and a memorable wedding ceremony, and I won’t let Sophia miss out on that.” He had asked Sterling to come out because he wanted to talk to him about his marriage proposal.

Sterling scratched his head in frustration. “She’s my sister, of course, I don’t want her to miss out on any one of those experiences but now...”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “With her condition now, do you think she’ll find it romantic or burdening if you organize a grand marriage proposal and wedding ceremony?”

Both of them could not care less whether about Soph’s disfigured face, but if he staged an extravagant wedding proposal and wedding ceremony, it was certain that people would talk. What if Soph heard them talking about her face?

Even if they did not dare to talk out loud because of the Harris and White family’s status and powerful influence, they would surely keep their eyes on Soph! Would Soph not notice how malicious and shocked those gazes would be?

Charles had not considered this point. After all, he was never one to care about rumors and people whispering behind his back so naturally, this did not come to mind.

Charles unbuttoned the top two buttons on his shirt as he drummed his fingers on his knee.

Sterling stared at him expectantly as he waited for a response.

Sterling did not mind this idea at all.

Sophia was still talking to Clara when a nurse came in and notified her that it was time for a routine check-up.

“I’ll come with you!” Clara raised her hand and exclaimed enthusiastically.

With that, the nurse brought Sophia for all sorts of examination while Clara kept her company. By the time they were finished, it was already one in the afternoon.

“I’m so tired... Sophia, do you usually need this many check-ups?” Clara was tired and bored, so she seemed droopy and less perky than usual.

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

Chapter 485 The End Pt. 3 Sophia shook her head, thinking that this was strange as well. “I don’t usually have this many check-ups, I don’t know what’s going on today.”

She usually only had one or two examinations, and the nurses and doctors would come to her room too. She never had to leave her room and travel to different departments for all sorts of check-ups.
