Nathaniel Hart felt a pain this time that was even more intense than before.
He could feel it deeply.
Previously, it was just from his neck to his shoulders, but today, it was his entire back and spine that hurt.
At first, Nathaniel could endure it, not making a sound, trying to appear calm and unaffected.
However, he quickly realized that this time, he couldn’t bear the pain at all.
Sofia Schneider had already washed the towel twice to wipe his sweat, but the more she wiped, the more he sweated.
Nathaniel gritted his teeth and said to Sofia, “Stop it, just let it be.”
“No way, if you sweat this much, you’ll catch a cold,” Sofia replied.
This was a critical period for his treatment.
His health was already poor, and if he caught a cold, they would have to treat that first.
Sofia didn’t want to go through all that trouble
Nathaniel said, “Then call someone else. You don’t need to keep busy.”
Seeing Sofia running back and forth like this made Nathaniel feel a deep sense of pity.
This woman had not received his respect since the first day she came here, and she had. spent almost every night in his room.
He didn’t even know when she slept or woke up.
He only knew that she had already done enough for him.
Sofia said, “It’s okay, I’m used to it. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.”

She knew best what kind of reactions the medication would cause in Nathaniel’s body.
If someone else came, she worried they wouldn’t understand.
After all, Nathaniel had never shown any sign of pain in front of others.
Suddenly telling someone he could feel pain would be shocking.
Especially since the person who harmed him hadn’t been caught yet, she was even more worried.
Sofia said, “In a while, I’ll arrange surgery for you. After that, your body will recover. But at that time, I hope you won’t show it and still act like you can’t move. That way, we can lure out the person who harmed you.”
On this point, Nathaniel agreed with Sofia.
This was also why he hadn’t told Older Mr. Hart about the changes in his body.
Suddenly thinking of something, Nathaniel said, “Grandpa invited Dr. Braylon Green to come and treat me. If you don’t like it, I’ll tell Grandpa to refuse him.”
“Braylon?” Sofia thought about the name and quickly identified the person. “You mean the one from Germany?”
“Probably,” Nathaniel said.
Sofia thought for a moment and said, “He’s indeed very skilled, but his specialty doesn’t overlap with your condition. Inviting him here would be a waste.”
Sofia knew this Braylon well.
He was a medical madman who treated his patients more importantly than his own life, always putting their needs first.
Moreover, Sofia admired him greatly because, in Braylon’s eyes, everyone was equal, regardless of wealth or status.
He had stuck to his principles for decades, never allowing anyone to cut in line to see him.
If an emergency arose, he would send his most capable assistant to handle it.
Of course, many people complained about Braylon’s principles.

But in Sofia’s eyes, he was an excellent doctor.
Sofia thought for a moment and said to Nathaniel, “Since your grandpa specifically invited. him, let him take a look. After he sees your condition, he’ll tell you he won’t operate on you. Then, you can send him away.”
“You know him well?” Nathaniel asked.
From Sofia’s words, it seemed like they had known each other for many years.
“My mentor used to be friends with him, but I’ve never met him. My mentor told me many stories about him and showed me many of his surgeries and papers for me to learn from. Some of my skills can be considered inherited from him,” Sofia said.
“Who is your mentor?” Nathaniel asked.
Sofia didn’t answer, just blinked and said, “I can’t tell you that.”
It was the first time Nathaniel saw her so playful, like a mischievous little girl.
His heart softened inexplicably, and he felt more indulgent towards Sofia.
But he was genuinely curious about Sofia’s mentor.
He said, “So, you working as an ordinary doctor at Cleveland Hospital was your mentor’s idea?”
Sofia pursed her lips and said, “Mr. Hart, don’t be so curious. Knowing too much isn’t good. for you.”
Nathaniel, seeing she really didn’t want to tell him, had no choice but to drop the subject.
A new wave of pain surged, making Nathaniel’s breathing rough.
Sofia wiped his sweat again, but at this moment, she was truly helpless.
Seeing Sofia’s worried expression, Nathaniel felt a warmth in his heart, and the pain. seemed to lessen.
He said, “I can handle it. Don’t worry. It’s been a long time since I felt this kind of pain. It’s quite thrilling.”
The more Sofia heard him say this, the more upset she felt.

She suddenly regretted not researching a medication that could numb the pain.
But this treatment method relied on the patient’s pain level to determine the surgical standard.

When Nathaniel went into surgery, he couldn’t be given anesthesia. He had to use his pain. to help Sofia repair his neurons.
Seeing Nathaniel’s current endurance, Sofia could already imagine his state operating table.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Sofia decided not to tell Nathaniel about this for now.
Otherwise, she worried it would burden him psychologically.
Nathaniel endured the pain all night.
This time, Sofia didn’t let him drink soup to enter a deep sleep.

After a night of pain, Nathaniel finally understood what it meant to be utterly exhausted.
Before his paralysis, he had boundless energy.
Now, he fully experienced what it felt like to be completely drained.
Sofia restored the equipment to its original state and removed Nathaniel’s IV drip.
She needed to dispose of this drip herself.
After all, one must always be cautious.
After wiping Nathaniel’s sweat again, Sofia asked, “Do you want to change your clothes and the bed sheets?”
“No need, call someone else later,” Nathaniel said.
He meant that Sofia had worked hard all night and shouldn’t bother with these small tasks.
However, to Sofia, it sounded like he was saying that even though they were married, they should still maintain some distance.

Sofia didn’t say anything else.
After tidying up, she prepared to leave.
Nathaniel called her back and asked, “Why don’t I feel pain anymore?”
“Because the medication has been fully injected, and the process of stimulating your nerves has stopped. Now your body is in a rest period, and you’ll return to how you were before. But as the treatments continue, your body will regain more sensation due to the medication, and you’ll feel pain again,” Sofia said.
“Okay, I understand,” Nathaniel said, feeling amazed.
He didn’t know much about medicine, let alone Sofia’s techniques.
He was just filled with gratitude for Sofia and couldn’t help but say, “Thank you, Sofia.”
Sofia was stunned and looked at Nathaniel in confusion.
It was the first time Nathaniel called her Sofia.
Many people called her by that name.
But at this moment, hearing Nathaniel say it made Sofia’s heart skip a beat.
This feeling was so unfamiliar to Sofia that she left Nathaniel’s room as if fleeing.
