Chapter 42 Then I’ll Trouble You, Honey
Sofia Schneider returned to the Hart family in the afternoon.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Older Mr. Hart sitting on the sofa, looking worried.
“Sofia, what happened last night? Why weren’t you home?” Older Mr. Hart asked with
concern.
Sofia was taken aback for a moment.
She had originally thought that Older Mr. Hart would only notice her absence this morning, and she planned to tell him that she had left early and missed him.
She didn’t expect them to notice last night!
Sofia remained calm and said to Older Mr. Hart, “Grandpa, a patient had an emergency last night, so I rushed to the hospital. I’m really sorry for worrying you.”
“Is that so,” Older Mr. Hart sighed in relief and said, “Sofia, if something like this happens again, remember to let Grandpa know. Grandpa worries about you.”
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I won’t do it again,” Sofia said.
Seeing her like this, Older Mr. Hart felt a pang of heartache.
He said, “Sofia, we’re family. Never be afraid to disturb or trouble us. If you tell Grandpa, Grandpa will be happy. If you don’t, Grandpa will worry.”
“Grandpa, I’ll let you know in advance from now on,” Sofia said.
Only then did Older Mr. Hart finally feel at ease.
He stood up and said to Sofia, “Come on, Sofia, let’s go check on Nathaniel. He wasn’t feeling well last night and wanted you to take a look, but you weren’t home.”
Hearing this, Sofia was stunned for a moment and finally understood why Older Mr. Hart noticed her absence last night.
It was all because of Nathaniel Hart!

But Nathaniel wasn’t feeling well last night?
That seemed very strange to Sofia. In her opinion, it was impossible.

Unless she was administering medication to Nathaniel, which might cause him pain by stimulating his nerves, he shouldn’t feel unwell at all.
Unless someone tampered with the equipment again, Nathaniel shouldn’t have any issues.
Thinking of this, Sofia asked, “Grandpa, did anyone come to see Mr. Hart last night?”
“No, apart from us, there was no one else,” Older Mr. Hart said.
“Then how did you know Mr. Hart wasn’t feeling well?” Sofia asked again.
Older Mr. Hart had been drinking the soup she made, which should make him sleep deeply at night, making it even less likely for him to notice Nathaniel’s condition.
Older Mr. Hart recalled and said, “It was someone by Nathaniel’s side who called me. It was Kyler Johnston. You haven’t met him yet, right? He’s been with Nathaniel since he was very young and is Nathaniel’s assistant.”
Sofia unconsciously frowned, feeling suspicious of this Kyler.
She asked, “Grandpa, has this Kyler always been at home?”
“Yes, Nathaniel still has some things he arranges for him to handle,” Older Mr. Hart said.
“Then why have I never seen him?” Sofia asked again.
Older Mr. Hart said, “Maybe you just haven’t crossed paths. He usually only appears when Nathaniel calls for him. Otherwise, he stays out of sight.”
Sofia didn’t ask further, but she became more suspicious of this man in her heart.
When they reached Nathaniel’s room, as soon as she walked in, she met Nathaniel’s teasing eyes.
Sofia couldn’t help but shiver, feeling an inexplicable sense of danger from Nathaniel’s
gaze.
She walked over and asked, pretending to be calm, “Mr. Hart, I heard from Grandpa that you weren’t feeling well last night. What’s the situation?”

Nathaniel said, “Maybe I had a nightmare and didn’t sleep well.”
Hearing this, Sofia found it even more impossible.
The medicine she gave him had a calming effect, making nightmares unlikely.
However, Sofia naturally didn’t reveal anything.

She pretended to ponder and, after a moment of silence, said, “I should check you out, Mr. Hart, to put Grandpa at ease.”
Nathaniel’s lips curled up slightly.
How could he not understand the meaning behind her words?
She was reminding him not to do anything behind Grandpa’s back if he didn’t want to worry him.
Nathaniel said, “Then I’ll trouble you, honey.”
Sofia almost lost her balance. She was wearing flat shoes but nearly twisted her ankle.
She frowned at Nathaniel, her face full of questions: Are you okay? Are you sick? Aren’t you planning to divorce me? Why are you calling me dear?
However, Nathaniel seemed to deliberately go against her, chuckling lightly and saying, “What’s wrong, honey? Aren’t you going to check me? Why aren’t you moving, madam?”
Sofia really wanted to reach out and cover Nathaniel’s mouth.
What was wrong with Nathaniel today?
Sofia wasn’t sure about anything else, but she was one hundred percent certain of one thing: Nathaniel wasn’t unwell last night at all.
Sofia gritted her teeth and walked to the bedside to check on Nathaniel.
She didn’t know if it was intentional, but she placed her hand on Nathaniel’s face, her fingers lightly brushing his cheek, causing a tingling sensation.
Sofia’s fingers moved to Nathaniel’s neck, seemingly checking his cervical spine, but in reality, she was causing trouble on his neck’s skin.

She lowered her voice and said, “Mr. Hart, do you feel anything when I press here?”
Nathaniel was surprised to find that he did feel something.
However, this sensation made him even more uncomfortable.
He felt his heart start to beat wildly.
Seeing this, Sofia continued pressing on his neck and said, “Mr. Hart, I’m a doctor. You need to honestly tell me your body’s reactions so I can make a reasonable judgment.”
Nathaniel’s eyes darkened, his gaze burning as it fell on Sofia’s face.
How could he not know that this woman was doing it on purpose?
She knew better than anyone what his condition was!
She didn’t check anywhere else but targeted his neck. It was clear she was using this method to tell him she had ways to deal with him.
Understanding this, Nathaniel’s eyes became even more playful.
His voice was low as he whispered in Sofia’s ear, “I don’t feel anything, but being this close to you makes me think of other things.”
