Sophia sat up and asked the nurse. “Did
he stay the night?” The nurse was the one who worked the night shift, so of course, she knew who
was with her in the ward last night.
“Yes. That’s why I thought he was your boyfriend!” replied the nurse with a smile.
Sophia looked at the chair by the edge of the bed, and there was a hint of distress in her eyes. How could she make him stay up all night to take care of her?!
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the door, and Arthur came in with boxes of food in his hands. It was breakfast, specially delivered by his bodyguard from a luxurious restaurant.
“You’re awake. Have something to eat.” After Arthur finished speaking, he opened a box of food and handed her a fork.
“Thank you, Young Master Weiss,” Sophia thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
Arthur’s hand fell on her forehead. As if he had done this action too many times last night, it seemed natural.
Once his warm and big hand was placed on her forehead, Sophia felt warmth reaching the bottom of her heart. Blinking her long lashes and having her head lowered bashfully, she waited for him to check her body temperature.
It seemed that overnight, her relationship with this man had broken through another dimension.
“Once you’re done with breakfast, I’ll send my bodyguard to take you home to rest,” Arthur uttered while taking a seat. His deep and clear eyes were now bloodshot, and he looked kind of fatigued, which was visible to the naked eye.
“Why don’t you tell your bodyguard to
take you home instead? I will call my dad’s driver to come and pick me up,” Sophia suggested, feeling bad for him.
Arthur nodded and responded, “Sure!”
After she made the call, the driver said that he would come half an hour later, but Arthur did not leave immediately. Sophia took a bite of the pancake, which was fluffy and melted instantly in her mouth. It also had a smooth buttery scent.
After taking the first bite, she immediately turned to look at Arthur, inquiring, “You haven’t eaten, have you?”
“I’m not hungry, Arthur replied.
Hearing that, Sophia hurriedly ate her portion of the pancake and forked another piece, shoving it at Arthur. “It’s delicious. Try it.”
Arthur was slightly stunned. After that, he leaned over and opened his mouth to eat the pancake she offered.
“Is it good?” Sophia asked expectantly, as if eager to get his feedback.
“Yeah!” Arthur nodded.
Sophia grinned at his response. After sharing the food, they finished the pancake in no time.
There were two more boxes of breakfast, but Sophia was too full to eat them. Since her fever had just subsided, she didn’t have much appetite.
Arthur then said to her, “You don’t have to stay by my side during this time. I’ll call you if I need you.”
Hearing that, Sophia guessed, “Are you leaving?”
“No. My grandma came back with my grandpa’s urn, so I’m going with her to bury my grandpa’s ashes,” Arthur answered truthfully.
Although Sophia was a little clumsy sometimes, she could still make sense of
some matters. Nodding sensibly, she replied, “Sure! You should get that done first.”
When her driver was about to arrive, Arthur left, leaving Sophia lying in bed. Suddenly, she fell deep into thought while looking pure and beautiful.
In Arthur’s mansion, Emily stayed up late last night waiting for him to come home,
but she couldn’t hold her sleepiness, so she fell asleep. It was not until the morning that he returned.
“Artie, why did you only come back now?! Is Sophia Goodwin worth your night spent in the hospital?” Emily failed to hide her jealousy in her tone.
“Emily, my grandma will be here this afternoon. Don’t mention Sophia in front of her.” Arthur told her with a serious expression.
Emily was startled upon hearing that, because she had already told Martha! She secretly reported it to Martha last time.
“I’m sorry… I accidentally mentioned Sophia’s name on a call with your grandma last time.”
Arthur’s handsome face suddenly turned gloomy as he questioned, “What did you tell her?”
“Nothing. I only said that you hired a young maid,” Emily explained in a soft voice, not daring to infuriate Arthur.
