Chapter 38 Could It Be Jealousy?
Older Mr. Hart noticed that Nathaniel had been ignoring him for a while.
He frowned and asked, “Nathaniel, what are you thinking about? What’s wrong?”
Nathaniel looked at Older Mr. Hart and asked, “Grandpa, when is Dr. Braylon Green supposed to arrive?”
“Nathaniel, does this mean you’ve agreed to the treatment?” Older Mr. Hart was overjoyed his eyes instantly turning moist.
Nathaniel replied, “Didn’t I already promise you that I’d let him check on me?”
Older Mr. Hart said, “Yes, as long as you’re willing to get treated, that’s all that matters. But Braylon’s time is very precious. The earliest appointment we could get is for next month.”
“Next month?” Nathaniel raised an eyebrow.
Isn’t that exactly when Sofia Schneider is planning to perform surgery on him?
This was getting interesting.
Sofia probably didn’t know that Older Mr. Hart had arranged for Braylon to come. He wondered if she’d get mad at the old man once she found out.
Older Mr. Hart saw Nathaniel’s expression and couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
“What’s wrong? Do you think Braylon is coming too late?” Older Mr. Hart asked nervously.
He had used all his connections to invite Braylon over, but that guy was a stubborn old man who wouldn’t budge.
He insisted on seeing all his pre–scheduled patients first and wouldn’t let anyone cut in line.
Older Mr. Hart had even considered kidnapping Braylon, but he knew that everyone is equal in the face of illness.
Although he was anxious about his grandson’s condition, he couldn’t disregard other patients and had to wait patiently.

Seeing Nathaniel’s expression now made Older Mr. Hart even more anxious.

What if Nathaniel thought the wait was too long and refused treatment again? How could he persuade him then?
Nathaniel glanced at Older Mr. Hart and felt a bit helpless about his worry.
He said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. Since I promised you, I won’t go back on my word.”
Only then did Older Mr. Hart relax.
He said, “I’m really happy to hear you say that. Nathaniel, I’ve heard that Braylon is very skilled. He has even cured patients with conditions similar to yours, though not as severe. But I believe he can cure you.”
Nathaniel didn’t respond. Instead, he was even more curious about Sofia’s reaction when she found out about this.
Sofia woke up to find it was almost noon.
And she was really surprised when she saw the time.
It had been a long time since she had slept this late!
Coming out of her room, she ran into Gregory.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she asked, “Gregory, is there any food available now?”
She had woken up because she was starving.
However, it wasn’t yet time for the Hart family’s lunch, so Sofia wasn’t sure if she could get- something to eat.
Gregory immediately said, “Yes, Young Master had the kitchen prepare something for you so you can eat whenever you wake up.”
Sofia was puzzled and asked, “You mean Mr. Hart?”
“Yes,” Gregory smiled and said, “Nathaniel said you worked hard last night and told us to take good care of you.”
Hearing this, Sofia felt a sudden sense of foreboding.

Sitting at the dining table, Sofia was still pondering this question, so much so that she didn’t notice she had stuffed a piece of bread up her nose.
This snapped Sofia back to reality.
She angrily bit into the bread, mentally cursing Nathaniel.
Just then, Charley Hart’s voice came from a distance, “Gregory, what are you making that smells so good?”
“Freshly baked bread. Would you like some, Miss Charley Hart?” Gregory asked.
Gregory treated Charley like a doting grandfather, despite knowing she was a bit spoiled. He still loved her dearly.
Charley immediately nodded excitedly and said, “Yes, I want two!”
Gregory’s bread was Charley’s favorite. She hadn’t found anything as delicious as his potato bread anywhere else.
But when she walked through the corridor and saw Sofia sitting at the dining table, her excitement waned.
She asked irritably, “What are you doing here?”
Sofią looked up at her and replied with a smile, “What do you think?”
Charley was at a loss for words and rolled her eyes at Sofia.
“Don’t tell me you just got up. Are you really trying to be the young mistress of the Hart family, sleeping till this hour? It’s disgraceful.”
Sofia ignored her and continued eating her potato bread.
Seeing Sofia ignore her, Charley wanted to say more, but Gregory came over with the bread and sauces prepared to her liking.
Immediately, Charley didn’t even bother with utensils. She grabbed a piece of bread, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Mmm… It’s so delicious! Gregory, I love you!” Charley said, blowing a kiss to Gregory.
Gregory playfully caught the kiss, showing his affection clearly.
After eating two small potato breads, Charley noticed the sauce dish Sofia had pushed away.
She frowned and asked Sofia, “Hey, don’t you like sweet things?”
Sofia raised an eyebrow at her and didn’t respond.
Charley was even more annoyed and disliked Sofia even more.
