Chapter 125 You’re So Fierce Now
Sofia Schneider furrowed her brow slightly, looking at Sylvia Grant, and said, “What attitude do you want to see from him?”
“Of course, I want to see how he handles his wife being bullied,” Sylvia replied.
Sofia, still frowning, looked at Sylvia blankly and said, “I can handle this myself. Why should I wait for him to handle it?”
Sylvia almost fainted from Sofia’s straightforward response.
Though it made sense, wasn’t it a bit too blunt?
Sylvia said, “I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Mr. Hart.”
Sofia didn’t respond and walked into Justin Robertson’s room to check on him.
He was recovering well; most of his external wounds had scabbed over, but he still needed, rest to heal completely.
Sofia had strictly instructed him not to move around unnecessarily, which Justin found. unbearable.
He felt like he was going to turn into a corpse from lying down so much.
In the past, at the research institute, he’d sometimes fall asleep standing up from exhaustion, dreaming of a time when he could sleep uninterrupted.
Now that he was confined to bed, he found he couldn’t sleep at all and desperately wanted to be allowed to move around again.
Seeing Sofia enter, Justin asked, “Sofia, when can I get out of bed?”
Sofia knew he would struggle with bed rest and smiled, saying, “Don’t worry, just a few more days.”
“How many more days? Sofia, I really don’t want to lie here anymore. If you won’t let me get up, at least let me sit,” Justin pleaded.
“That’s not an option,” Sofia replied firmly.

His full recovery was essential, and any premature movement could compromise that.
She felt a bit sorry for him. He was always so active, and being confined to bed must be
torture.

Her thoughts drifted to Nathaniel Hart, who had been bedridden for so long that he might have become numb to it.
She realized how resilient he must have been and felt a pang of sympathy mixed with pride for his current state.
Suddenly, she wanted to see Nathaniel.
After giving Justin a few more instructions, Sofia prepared to leave.
Sylvia followed her out, saying, “Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Weren’t you trying to kill time here?”
“If I stay, you won’t be able to rest either,” Sofia said.
Sylvia laughed at her words and patted Sofia’s shoulder. “Admit it, Sofia, you’re smitten.”
Sofia blinked innocently. “Honestly, I haven’t done anything.”
“Enough, just go,” Sylvia said, pushing Sofia out of the villa and waving her off.
Sylvia shook her head, unsure whether to feel sorry for Sofia or Nathaniel.
As she returned inside, her phone rang. It was Curtis Hart calling.
Curtis said, “Sylvia, if you have time tomorrow, come to the office.”
“What’s up?” Sylvia asked, frowning slightly.
If it wasn’t something important, she didn’t want to go.
Curtis said, “It’s nothing major, just want to take some photos for future promotions.”
Sylvia hesitated for a moment but agreed. “Alright, I’ll come by tomorrow.”
Curtis hadn’t specified a time, so she decided she’d go whenever she felt like it.

When Sofia returned home, she expected Nathaniel to be asleep, but as she opened the door, she found him standing there.
She froze for a moment, then said, “You’re not asleep yet?”
Nathaniel didn’t respond, walking toward her instead.
Sofia instinctively took a step back, turning her face away to hide the slap mark.
But the next moment, her chin was gently but firmly held by Nathaniel, forcing her to look at him.
His expression was grim, his eyes filled with cold anger.
“Mr. Hart…” Sofia began tentatively, but the atmosphere only grew tenser.
She swallowed and said, “Mr. Hart, you’re hurting me.”
In reality, she wasn’t in pain, but the words slipped out before she could think.
Nathaniel tightened his grip slightly, saying, “You know it hurts, so why didn’t you fight back?”
Sofia looked innocent and said, “He’s my grandfather. I can’t fight back.”
Nathaniel nearly laughed in frustration at her words.
He hadn’t planned on revealing anything to her yet, wanting to see when she would tell him herself.
But learning she had been hit had ignited his fury.
He wanted to rush to her side, hold her tightly, and tell her he would protect her from
everyone.
However, the more he thought this, the more absurd he felt.
He felt powerless, unable to do anything.
Sofia, sensing his anger, gently squeezed his hand and said, “Mr. Hart, I’m fine, really. Don’t be so angry. You’re scaring me.”

Her small, pitiful voice startled Nathaniel, making him pause.
This the first time he’d seen this side of her.

The anger within him burned even hotter, with a single thought consuming him: he had to avenge her.
Sofia was bewildered by Nathaniel’s reaction.
She blinked and said, “Mr. Hart, you’re so fierce now.”
Nathaniel, softened by her vulnerability, let his hand drop to her shoulder, pulling her into his arms.
“From now on, no matter who it is, fight back. I’ll handle everything else.”
Sofia felt a warmth spread through her chest, a sweetness she hadn’t expected from those words.
She murmured, “Okay.”
In Nathaniel’s embrace, she felt a strange and wonderful sense of security, making her entire being feel warm and soft.
For a moment, she thought it might not be so bad to rely on Nathaniel.
They stood there hugging in the hallway until a cough interrupted them.
Sofia realized they weren’t alone.
Nathaniel’s expression darkened again as he continued to hold her for a while longer before releasing her.
He turned to see Emiliano Rogers, his gaze filled with displeasure.
Sofia was also surprised to see Emiliano still there.
She cleared her throat and asked, “Why are you still here?”
“I wanted to leave, but you two were blocking the door. Even if I wanted to slip out quietly, I couldn’t,” Emiliano said, exasperated.

For once, Sofia felt a bit embarrassed.
They had indeed been blocking the only exit.
She stepped aside and said, “You can leave now.”
There was no courtesy in her tone, very straightforward.
Emiliano gave her a knowing look, amused.
In all the years he’d known Sofia, this was the first time he felt she was prioritizing love over friendship.
