Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

The two people blocking Sophie Lawrence's way glanced at each other, already showing some hesitation.

In the distance, the property staff of He Yue Ju (Harmony Residence) also walked over.

They looked at Chloe Morgan and the two big men, then walked to Sophie Lawrence's side and asked.

"Miss Sophie, what's going on?"

Sophie Lawrence chuckled, "Nothing."

The property staff thought Chloe Morgan's face looked a bit unfriendly and couldn't help frowning.

Just as they were about to ask something, they were interrupted by Sophie Lawrence.

"Go ahead with your work. I'm fine here."

Hearing what Sophie Lawrence said, the property staff didn't feel it was appropriate to stay longer, so they turned around and went to check other parts of He Yue Ju.

Sophie Lawrence looked down at the time and said coldly, "Miss Chloe Morgan, I have something to do. Excuse me."

After that, she walked around the people blocking her way and headed straight for the entrance of He Yue Ju.

Chloe Morgan, sitting in a wheelchair, stared closely at Sophie Lawrence's back, with a few traces of hatred in her eyes.

In the past two days, Henry Mitchell had hardly visited her in the ward.

She stupidly thought that Henry Mitchell was really too busy because there were too many patients.

If the nurse who was on good terms with her hadn't told her that Sophie Lawrence was also hospitalized, she might still be kept in the dark.

...

At a little past seven in the evening, Mrs. Sang thought that Henry Mitchell should be off work, so she called him.

"Henry has fallen asleep here. Come and take him home."

At that time, Henry Mitchell had already arrived at He Yue Ju. After hanging up Mrs. Sang's call, he started the car again and drove towards Mrs. Sang's house.

In about ten minutes or so, Henry Mitchell arrived.

Mrs. Sang led him to the room where Sophie Lawrence had lived before getting married. When she walked to the bed, she was about to reach out and wake Sophie Lawrence up.

Henry Mitchell stepped forward to stop Mrs. Sang and said softly, "Mom, it's okay."

Mrs. Sang looked at her sleeping daughter and couldn't bear to wake her either, so she simply turned around and walked out.

Henry Mitchell stepped forward, lifted the quilt covering Sophie Lawrence, bent down and picked her up.

The moment she was picked up around the waist, Sophie Lawrence unconsciously frowned, rubbed her face against Henry Mitchell's chest, and then continued to sleep.

Henry Mitchell lowered his eyes, looking at the woman in his arms who habitually rubbed her face gently against his chest. The calm expression in his eyes deepened a little.

By the time they got home, Sophie Lawrence was still asleep.

As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, Sophie Lawrence, as if sensing something, suddenly opened her eyes.

Henry Mitchell's cold face instantly magnified in front of her eyes, and Sophie Lawrence couldn't help tensing her body.

"Are you off work?"

Henry Mitchell gave a soft "Yes" and bent down to put her on the bed.

Then he turned around and took his change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

Sophie Lawrence lowered her eyebrows, and her emotions were unclear under her eyelashes.

After Henry Mitchell came out of the bathroom, he directly climbed into bed, "I'm going to sleep first."

Sophie Lawrence looked at the dark circles under Henry Mitchell's eyes and carefully got out of bed, took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

...

At a little past three in the middle of the night.

Henry Mitchell and Sophie Lawrence, who were sleeping, suddenly felt a tremor. The bottles and jars on the dressing table shook violently, making a clattering noise.

Henry Mitchell immediately turned on the light. Both of them were stunned at the same time and immediately looked at each other.

In an instant, the two of them immediately rolled out of bed, grabbed their coats and ran downstairs.

The tremor lasted for a minute before it gradually stopped.

By this time, the downstairs of He Yue Ju was already crowded with people. There was a mass of black heads everywhere.

Everyone looked dazed and panicked, asking each other, "Was that an earthquake just now?"

Suddenly, a shout came from somewhere.

"There's an earthquake in Stoneshire!"

Henry Mitchell looked at Sophie Lawrence immediately.

For earthquake rescue, the fire department has to be dispatched first.

At this moment, Sophie Lawrence had already realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately turned around and ran outside the gate of He Yue Ju.
