Chapter 186 What Are You Here?
Joseph Carter was already in his car but still hadn’t gotten a reply from Sofia Schneider.
Out of options, he used his phone to track Grace Schneider’s location and drove straight there.
Grace was at Bluebell Capital, and Joseph got in without any trouble, quickly finding the right floor.
Sofia still hadn’t replied, which made Joseph even more frustrated.
He rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.
With no other choice, Joseph used his usual method, hacking into the house’s lock with his phone.
He hoped Sofia hadn’t set a crazy password that would waste his time.
But, of course, things didn’t go as he hoped.
Just his luck, the password wasn’t just complex: Sofia had also added an alarm system.
Seeing the red flashing on his phone screen, Joseph was nearly in tears.
If he couldn’t crack the code in five minutes, who knows what would happen…
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Joseph almost fell to his knees.
“Sofia, you finally showed up,” Otis Frank said,
It wasn’t the first time Sofia had given him a hard time.
But still, it felt heartbreaking.
How could his teacher be this tough on him?
Sofia, hearing him practically crying, was speechless.

“What are you doing?” Sofia asked coldly.

She had been in the study talking to Nathaniel Hart, and hadn’t taken her phone.
When she got back to her room, she saw her phone flashing with an intrusion alert.
Sofia immediately checked the surveillance at Bluebell Capital and, seeing the figure outside the door, called right away.
Unexpectedly, she heard Joseph crying.
She really wanted to hit someone.
Sofia hadn’t seen Joseph’s message, so she didn’t know Grace was in trouble,

But she remembered giving Grace Joseph’s number before she left, so she guessed why Otis was at Bluebell Capital.
Still, she was puzzled–were these two really that close?
Joseph
had no idea Sofia’s thoughts had wandered.
He quickly said, “Sofia, I got a call from your sister. She kept saying she was in pain and begging for help.”
Hearing this, Sofia quickly disabled the alarm and told Joseph the code, “0616. Go in and check on her. I’m on my way.”
“Got it. I’m going in now,” Joseph said, opening the door and stepping inside.
Luckily, the place wasn’t very big, and Joseph soon found Grace.
She was lying on the bed, silent, her face pale, and her clothes soaked with sweat.
After checking her over, Joseph realized it was acute gastroenteritis–not too serious.
He relaxed a bit, knowing it wasn’t life–threatening.
But the poor girl had fainted from the pain.
Compared to his teacher, she was really delicate.

Joseph told Sofia the situation and started treating Grace.
In this case, there was no need to go to the hospital.
By the time they’d get there, he’d have already taken care of it.

Grace didn’t know what had happened. When she woke up, she felt weak, but the pain was
gone.
She moved a little and noticed something tied around her wrist. Then she heard a soft jingling sound.
Just as she was wondering, the door opened, and an unexpected person walked in.
Grace’s eyes widened in disbelief at who she saw.
Grace opened her mouth, but all that came out was a growling sound from her stomach, making her blush instantly.
She was already scared seeing Joseph there, and now she was so embarrassed she wanted to hide her face.
Who could tell her why Joseph was here?
“Hungry?” Joseph’s voice had a hint of amusement.
Though he wasn’t mocking her, Grace still felt like dying of embarrassment.
She bit her lip and said, “Yeah.”
Her voice was so soft, like she’d been bullied.
Joseph chuckled and said, “Your sister is making you something to eat. It’ll be ready soon.”
Grace’s eyes lit up at his words.
Her sister was here and cooking for her.
Wow! How lucky could she get?
But her sister cooking? That was amazing!

Grace immediately sat up, eager to find Sofia,
As she moved, she felt a tug on her wrist.
She pulled at her wrist and heard the jingling of a bell
Grace looked at Joseph, puzzled, “What’s this?”
“Oh, I was worried about you, so I put a bell on the outside. That way, if you needed anything, I’d know right away,” Joseph explained.
Grace’s face was full of disbelief.
She couldn’t believe Joseph had done something like that.
“Isn’t that a bit much?” she asked.
“Nope. See, you woke up, and I came right in,” Otis said.
Grace wanted to say something more, to complain about Joseph’s tactic.
But Sofia had already walked in, checked her over, and said, “Come eat.”
Grace immediately got off the bed, nearly stumbling to the ground from moving too fast, looking far from a sick person.
Blushing, she moved to Sofia’s side, grabbing her arm, and said, “Sis, I’m just weak, not useless.”
Sofia understood her little thoughts all too well.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Come eat,” she said.
Grace had gotten acute gastroenteritis because she hadn’t eaten properly for days.
So Sofia made her some light porridge and simple side dishes.
But this made Grace really happy.
She was starving but also felt embarrassed about being so hungry that she had caused trouble for her sister.

Grace was really worried that her sister might kick her out because of this.
And she still didn’t understand why Otis was here.
Taking a spoonful of porridge, Grace was instantly delighted.

“Sis, your cooking is amazing!” Grace said, her eyes sparkling like stars as she looked at Sofia.
Sofia smiled and said, “It’s good, but you can’t eat too much. Just one bowl.”
She knew all of Grace’s little tricks.
Just the other day, Grace had stuffed herself at Malia’s to spend more time with her.
And now she had starved herself into this state.
Sofia felt a mix of helplessness and indulgence toward her.
Grace looked at the small bowl in front of her and felt really disappointed.
But she had no choice. She didn’t dare disobey Sofia, so she nodded hard and said, “Okay, I’ll just eat this one bowl.”
Though she said that, her voice clearly showed how much she felt wronged.
Especially with Joseph sitting nearby, eating so heartily.
It made Grace really want to hit him.
She finally shifted from wondering why he was there to why he was eating there.
Grace stared at Joseph and asked, “Why are you
