Lahat ng Kabanata ng Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Leah tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "That’s enough, William. I don’t blame her. After all, she was young and full of vigor back then. It’s understandable why she did something so frenzied out of jealousy for Charles.”"You are too kind, that’s why others bully you and put you in this state today." William still had lingering fears from the car accident that year. "If it weren’t for your luck, you would have lost your life now. How are you still speaking up for Sophia!"Leah bit her lip and said in a spoiled manner, "She was once my friend, after all, William. Besides, apart from a broken leg, I didn't really suffer any other injuries."The more she behaved like that, the more William blamed himself. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have been friends with her. You wouldn't have gotten into the car accident afterward..."The conversation between the siblings made Sophia's stomach churn. She was feeling a strong urge to throw up.She was truly not in the mood to watch

Inside the ward.The moment Charles closed the door, he let go of Sophia and staggered to the side of the chair. His good-looking face was pale, and his breathing sounded slightly rapid and shallow.Sophia stood close to the door as she watched his blood trickle down his palm before dripping to the ground. The crimson liquid was soaking his patient’s attire bit by bit. She remained still and silent.Charles raised his head and glanced at her, his eyes dimming a little. He pursed his lips and pressed the emergency button in front of the hospital bed.Doctor Conor hurried over with two nurses in no time.When she saw Sophia sitting on the hospital bed looking perfectly fine, Dr. Conor’s expression turned slightly sullen. He cast her a sidelong glance and asked, "What happened to you this time?""It's not her, it's me," Charles said with a mild look on his face as he clutched the wound on his lower abdomen.This was Sophia’s ward, so Doctor Conor subconsciously thought that somethi

Charles' pupils reflected Sophia's furious and resentful face. He felt a pang in his heart.Back then, she used to follow him around all day. Was this how uncomfortable she felt when he did not respond to her feelings?"You have nothing to say now?" Sophia squeezed every single word out of her teeth, "Charles, do you think that it is my inherent ability to love you? That I should continue to love you even after you’ve tortured me for two years because of a ridiculous misunderstanding?"Yes, I was a fool for hugging a man in erotic underwear just because someone challenged me to do so. I am in the wrong for causing this misunderstanding! I am also willing to accept the punishment for my mistakes. You can break off the marriage contract with me or even chastise me!"But you didn’t ask me anything and assumed that I was cheating on you. You broke my leg, sent me to prison, and made me work in a place like Dream Club to humiliate me... Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?!"She was al

Having said that, Sophia turned around and was about to go outside when Charles called out to her. "Forget it."After a pause, he asked, "Is it so difficult for you to feed me soup?""It's not difficult. I just don't want to." Sophia glanced at him expressionlessly and sat back on the bed. She continued to sip on the soup.Charles took in the look of indifference and disgust in her eyes. His eyes darkened slightly. There was a tinge of bitterness in his mouth.It took almost half an hour for Megan to come back. She explained, "I ate something bad and had a stomach ache, that’s why I spent a bit more time in the toilet."She then gathered her courage and stayed on for a while more before leaving after making an excuse.Not long after Megan left, Sophia received a message from her.Megan: [Sophia, are you going to attend Master Lewis and Tiffany’s wedding?]At the thought of the promise she made to Clara, Sophia replied with a yes.Megan replied with two more messages in no time

The car ahead stopped again and Victor stepped on the brakes. "I heard Mr. Harris calling you his girlfriend?""... Not quite." Sophia let out a self-deprecating chuckle. "I’m just his lover."Victor paused for a moment and said, "I’m sorry for being presumptuous.""It’s alright," Sophia said with her eyes downcast.They were not really close, so they stopped talking about private topics like that and started talking about other irrelevant topics instead.The road was very congested. There were many places where cars were traveling much slower than pedestrians. Sophia simply got out of the car, went to a mini-market to buy some fruits, and then returned to the car that was still crawling slowly in the traffic.Aunt Lucy had called them seven to eight times to rush them. Even so, there was nothing they could do. 50 minutes later, Sophia and Victor finally arrived at the housing estate where the Hemingway’s residence was located.Victor was a popular guy. In this fast-paced urban
