Chapter 19 I Don’t Want to Talk to Liars
After hanging up the phone, Sofia was in a bad mood.
She had a nagging feeling that things wouldn’t go smoothly.
If she could leave, she’d go to the U.S. herself to make sure everything went perfectly.
Steadying herself, Sofia stood up, took out the chilled medicine from the fridge, and tiptoed to Nathaniel’s room.
She injected the medicine into Nathaniel’s IV and adjusted the machine.
Just like last night, she stayed by Nathaniel’s bedside.
With the increased dosage tonight, Nathaniel’s pain was more intense than last night.
Sofia could hear Nathaniel’s heavy
- up.
pain, but strangely, he didn’t wake
Chapter unlocked!
Standing by Nathaniel’s bed for a long time, Sofia found it hard to believe.
Unless Nathaniel had some special ability, how could he not wake up?
She leaned in, staring intently at Nathaniel’s eyes.
She thought his eyes were beautiful during the day, even when they were cold, they held an irresistible warmth.
Now, looking at the little mole at the corner of his eye, Sofia found it even more special and
sexy.
Her fingers moved before her brain, touching Nathaniel’s eyelids before she realized what she was doing.
The touch felt like an electric shock
making Sofia’s fingers curl involuntarily.
This electrifying sensation was both unfamiliar and startling.
She gulped, quickly straightening up and hiding her hand behind her back.

Yet, her fingertips still felt tingly, making her face flush.

Her gaze remained fixed on Nathaniel’s face, his closed eyes unaware of what she had just done.
Was he sleeping too deeply, or he had just passed out from the pain?
Nathaniel’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Sofia bit her lip and slowed the flow of the medicine a bit.
She muttered softly, “Hang in there, be strong. Once we get through the initial stage and your body is ready for surgery, you’ll be fine.”
Nathaniel was actually lucky to have such advanced equipment assisting him, easing a lot of his pain.
Her mentor’s patient had endured excruciating pain to recover.
Thinking about the patient’s agonizing screams, Sofia smiled slightly and told Nathaniel, “You’re pretty tough, more than I expected.”
Sofia leaned in close, her warm breath brushing against Nathaniel’s face as she spoke.
For Nathaniel, already sensitive and vulnerable from the pain, this close proximity was
torture.
A kind of torture from Sofia that she was completely unaware of.
Sofia gently wiped Nathaniel’s sweat with a tissue. At down, she restored the machine but couldn’t leave right away.
She had slowed the IV drip out of compassion, easing Nathaniel’s pain.
As a result, Sofia was now incredibly anxious.
She raised her hand several times to speed up the drip but always held back.
She hoped Nathaniel wouldn’t suddenly wake up and that Older Mr. Hart wouldn’t come in unexpectedly.
But as fate would have it, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

Sofia heard the door handle turn, and then Older Mr. Hart walked in.
Seeing her there, Older Mr. Hart was clearly surprised.
“Sofia, why are you in Nathaniel’s room so early?” Older Mr. Hart asked.
This had never happened before.
Sofia always visited Nathaniel’s room with him, making Older Mr. Hart think she still didn’t consider herself Nathaniel’s wife and was intentionally avoiding being alone with him.
He had no idea Sofia had been sneaking in since the first night.
Now she had spent the entire night here and hadn’t left.
Of course, Sofia wouldn’t explain this to Older Mr. Hart.
If she did, he’d probably think she was plotting something against his precious grandson,
Sofia calmly smiled and said, “Grandpa, I woke up early today and wanted to check on Mr.
Hart.”
Nathaniel, lying in bed with his eyes closed, barely suppressed a smile at Sofia’s casual lie.
He slowly opened his eyes, looking annoyed as if their conversation had woken him, his voice hoarse, “Grandpa, is something wrong this early?”
Hearing Nathaniel’s voice, Older Mr. Hart no longer cared why Sofia was in Nathaniel’s room so early.
He quickly walked over to Nathaniel, concerned. “How are you feeling today, Nathaniel?”
Noticing Nathaniel’s face paler than yesterday and his eyes dark and exhausted, Older Mr. Hart was extremely worried.
He immediately pulled Sofia over, “Sofia, check on Nathaniel. Why does he look so bad?”
Sofia pressed her lips tightly, confused by Nathaniel’s haggard appearance.
Even though she had watched him sleep peacefully all night, he looked like he had been up all night.

Frowning, Sofia felt she had missed something
She stared into Nathaniel’s eyes, hoping to find some clue.

However, Nathaniel’s beautiful eyes only showed irritation at being woken, no other emotions.
Sofia finally gave in, speaking softly, “Mr. Hart, are you feeling unwell?”
Nathaniel coldly responded with an unrelated remark, “I don’t want to talk to liars.”
Sofia was stunned, staring at Nathaniel for a long time before pointing at herself.
Was he calling her a liar?
Sofia couldn’t believe it and asked, “Mr. Hart, when did I lie to
