Chapter 97 You’ve Got to Cover for Me
After hanging up the phone, Sofia Schneider couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled.
She didn’t know what kind of trick Sylvia Grant was playing, but to prevent any strange things from happening in the future, Sofia decided to take some early precautions.
However, this matter couldn’t be handled through Nathaniel Hart, so she had to arrange for someone else to take care of it.
After giving the necessary instructions, Sofia went to Nathaniel’s room.
He was reading a book, and when he saw her coming, he closed it.
Sofia was really helpless about his behavior.
She said, “The most important thing for you right now is to rest well, but staring at me like this all the time isn’t good for your recovery.”
“I’ve rested enough during the day,” Nathaniel said.
Older Mr. Hart hadn’t let the doctors come to bother him today, so he had slept all day and indeed rested well.
Sofia said, “You’ll have surgery in a couple of days. I’m really worried if your body can handle it if you keep this up.”
“Don’t worry, I can handle it,” Nathaniel said.
Sofia couldn’t argue with him, so she let him be.
She said, “Let me put it this way, if you’re this stubborn now, the time you’ll need to recover after the surgery will increase.”
Nathaniel didn’t respond immediately but stared at Sofia for a long time.
His expression was as if he was checking if Sofia was joking with him.
Sofia was almost amused by his look.

She said, “Are you doubting your doctor now?”
This made her quite unhappy.
Nathaniel quickly said, “No, I’m not doubting you.”
However, in his heart, he did have doubts.

It wasn’t about Sofia’s medical skills, but he thought she was using post–surgery recovery to scare him because he insisted on staying awake for treatment.
Sofia said, “You better think that way, or I can’t guarantee I won’t do something to you during the surgery.”
“What does honey plan to do to me?” Nathaniel asked curiously.
He was already in this state; the surgery couldn’t make things worse.
He couldn’t think of anything Sofia could do.
Sofia said, “I can’t tell you that, but you should know, as a doctor, I have many ways to punish someone.”
Nathaniel chuckled and said, “Then I’ll make sure to always be good to my wife and not make her angry, so I can protect myself.”
Sofia lifted her chin, showing she was very satisfied with his smart realization.
Nathaniel couldn’t help but laugh. This girl was becoming more and more childish.
He liked how she could be so relaxed in front of him.
It gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
It felt like he was someone who indulged her endlessly, giving her all his favoritism.
That was exactly what he wanted to do.
After the joke, Sofia got serious..
She had Nathaniel lie down, injected the medicine into the IV bottle, adjusted the drip to the right speed, and then went to the bathroom to wet a towel.

Sofia said, “Dr. Braylon Green will arrive tomorrow. Are you ready?”

“Of course, dealing with him will allow us to tell Grandpa about your surgery plans,” Nathaniel said.

The surgery couldn’t be hidden from Older Mr. Hart, after all, it wasn’t taking place at the Hart family estate.
Sofia couldn’t help but worry, “Will Grandpa blame me for treating you on my own and hiding it from him for so long?”
Nathaniel reached out his hand to her.
Seeing this, Sofia placed her hand in his palm.
Her hand was always cold, as if it had no warmth.
Nathaniel had noticed this before, but he thought it was a coincidence.
Now, holding her hand, Nathaniel realized how cold it really was.
He wanted to warm her hand, but his hand was hooked up to the IV.
He said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa wants nothing more than to see me recover. If you cure me, you’ll be a hero to him. How could he blame you?”
Sofia thought about it and realized it was true.
She smiled and said, “Then it’s settled. If Grandpa blames me, you have to speak up for me.”
Nathaniel said, “Of course, with me around, I won’t let
you suffer any blame.”
In their current situation, this sounded like a joke, but to Sofia, it was very comforting.
A strange emotion welled up inside her.
She wasn’t sure what it was, but Sofia knew one thing: this feeling made her happy.
As the medicine flowed into Nathaniel’s body, he began to feel pain.
Nathaniel quickly let go of Sofia’s hand, worried that he might grip too hard and hurt her

while fighting the pain.
His considerate action made Sofia’s emotions surge even more.
In fact, he wouldn’t have hurt her, but his action made Sofia feel protected.
Sofia’s gaze towards Nathaniel became even more tender.

Nathaniel was initially stunned by her look, but the intense pain that followed made him
groan.
He clenched his jaw, forcing himself to look away from Sofia.
He was really afraid that if he kept looking at her, he would unconsciously show weakness.
Such behavior was unacceptable to him.
Sofia didn’t know what he was thinking; she was just very worried but had no other choice.
For her, this was a necessary part of the treatment.
She had no better way.
Sofia could only repeatedly be grateful that Nathaniel’s physical condition was really good.
Otherwise, after such a long period of pain, he would have succumbed to it.
However, he never did. No matter how much it hurt, he could always endure it perfectly.
Sofia wiped the sweat off Nathaniel’s face and encouraged him, “Hang in there, just two more days, and it won’t hurt anymore.”
