The name "Chloe Morgan" made Sophie Lawrence's heart suddenly tremble!
The faint suspicion that had always lingered in her heart seemed to be firmly confirmed at that instant.
Sophie Lawrence's face immediately turned cold. "You're so young, yet you do such a shameless thing. Does your family know about it?"
"He saved me. Why can't I pledge myself to him in return?"
Sophie Lawrence was full of disbelief. "You're destroying someone else's family. This is simply repaying kindness with enmity!"
Chloe Morgan's face suddenly darkened, and she roared, "You don't deserve Henry Mitchell at all!"
"Look at your slovenly appearance, like a beggar! I really don't know why Henry Mitchell married you. He's really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
Sophie Lawrence couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She took a deep breath and then said in a low voice, "We became husband and wife because we love each other, of course."
Just as she finished speaking, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.
Sophie Lawrence turned around to look. It was Henry Mitchell.
Before she could react, Chloe Morgan had already quickly wheeled her wheelchair towards Henry Mitchell.
She had red eyes and a face full of grievances as she cried, "Mitchell, she just called me a cripple! And told me not to pester you anymore!"
Sophie Lawrence quickly refuted, "I didn't!"
However, the look in Henry Mitchell's eyes towards her became cold.
Sophie Lawrence just felt as if a piece of her heart had suddenly been hollowed out.
Then she saw Henry Mitchell gently say to Chloe Morgan, "Don't take her words to heart. I will cure you."
Between the two of them, he chose to believe Chloe Morgan...
Sophie Lawrence's heart seemed to be pierced with a hole in an instant. Without saying another word, she turned around and left in a flustered manner.
...
Not long after returning to the ward, her uncle Benjamin Lee arrived.
As Sophie Lawrence's uncle and also her instructor, Benjamin Lee was both angry and distressed when he saw Sophie Lawrence's injured state.
"Such a big thing, and you didn't tell anyone. If I hadn't happened to see the news, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark!"
Sophie Lawrence's heart immediately tightened. "Then my mother..."
"Your mother doesn't know yet."
Sophie Lawrence then let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, uncle."
Benjamin Lee said helplessly, "When you graduated from school, other schools sent blessings for a bright future, but we could only wish you a safe life."
He sighed gently. "I know you've been stubborn since you were young, but now you have your own family. Have you considered stepping back from the front line?"
Sophie Lawrence was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and said in a rather dull voice, "Which firefighter doesn't have a family behind them? I became a firefighter to protect more families."
"Before getting married, Mitchell promised me that he wouldn't stop me from working on the front line."
"Knock, knock, knock -"
There was a knock on the door. Sophie Lawrence looked up, and her body suddenly became stiff.
Henry Mitchell stood there expressionlessly and nodded to Benjamin Lee. "Uncle, I'm here to take Lawrence for an examination."
...
After leaving the hospital, the team, considering Sophie Lawrence's injury, allowed her to go home and rest for two days.
When taking a bath at night, Sophie Lawrence had beads of sweat on her forehead just from taking off her coat.
When she was halfway through taking it off, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Henry Mitchell walked in.
Suddenly, Sophie Lawrence froze in an extremely awkward position.
She quickly put down her arm and asked rather uncomfortably, "Are you off work?"
Henry Mitchell coldly replied, "Hmm," and then directly took his change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Sophie Lawrence stood there awkwardly, feeling a bit down.
But after a few seconds, Henry Mitchell walked out of the bathroom again and stood still in front of Sophie Lawrence.
"Raise your arm. I'll help you take it off."
Sophie Lawrence was stunned again. She bit her lip and said, "I can do it myself."
Henry Mitchell frowned and then directly reached out.
Sophie Lawrence's face immediately turned bright red.
After a while, a pattering sound of water came from the bathroom.
She turned off the light and lay on the bed.
In the darkness, there was complete silence, which made the noise in the fire scene last night seem extremely unreal.
Sophie Lawrence looked at the ceiling and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Mitchell, do you think I'm an incompetent wife?"
Henry Mitchell's voice was cold. "Why are you talking about this?"
Sophie Lawrence was silent for a long time, then slowly said while suppressing the soreness in her nose.
"I know I haven't done well enough. If you prefer a wife who can take care of you and the family, I can let go."
Henry Mitchell's voice was devoid of any warmth. "How generous of you."
After saying that, he turned over, with his back to Sophie Lawrence, and stopped talking.
The pain in her shoulder came in waves. Sophie Lawrence looked at his back and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
In the middle of the night.
A sudden and rapid ringing sound rang out.
Sophie Lawrence opened her eyes, reached out for the mobile phone on the bedside table and answered, "Hello..."
A delicate and coquettish voice came from the receiver.
"Mitchell, can you come and keep me company..."
Sophie Lawrence shuddered all over. Before she could finish listening, the mobile phone was taken away by Henry Mitchell.
Sophie Lawrence sat up uneasily and saw Henry Mitchell say "Hmm, hmm" twice. After hanging up the phone, he actually got up directly and got out of bed.
She tightly gripped the quilt beneath her and stared straight at Henry Mitchell. "Where are you going?"
But all she saw was Henry Mitchell changing his clothes, turning around, and leaving.
The only response to her was the "bang" of the door closing!
