Last night.
Henry Mitchell felt as if he were trapped in an illusion. He saw Sophie Lawrence go to the Healing Haven and be diagnosed as pregnant. He also saw her return to the Fire Brigade Station and submit an "Application for Suspension Report".
Suddenly, the scene changed. In front of Henry Mitchell's eyes was a sea of fire. Amid the raging flames, he saw Sophie Lawrence. He saw her hesitate for a moment, but then she still rushed into the warehouse with towering flames in front. Watching her being pinned down under the iron frame, trying her best but still unable to escape, and finally losing all response completely, an agonizing pain spread from his limbs to his whole body, and Henry Mitchell suddenly woke up from the illusion.
At that moment, he suddenly didn't know where he was. Then he came here and had been standing until now, without even having time to change his hospital gown...
At this moment, Henry Mitchell's mind was in chaos. His heart was still mired in the pain of losing Sophie Lawrence, but there was always a voice in his mind constantly reminding him that Sophie Lawrence had finally given up their child...
Suddenly, a Bentley stopped in front of Henry Mitchell. The car window was lowered, and Jason Lu, looking at the motionless Henry Mitchell, frowned.
"Why is Dr. Henry, still in his hospital gown, not staying at the Healing Haven but coming here?"
Henry Mitchell counter - asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
"This warehouse is all mine. I can come whenever I like." As he said this, Jason Lu took out his mobile phone and made a call. Before the call was connected, he said to Henry Mitchell again, "The professors are looking everywhere for you."
When the call was connected, Jason Lu quickly said, "Professor, I've seen Dr. Henry. He's right at the entrance of my warehouse."
"Don't worry. I'll send him back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jason Lu unlocked the car: "Get in, Dr. Henry."
Henry Mitchell paused for a moment, then took another look at the entrance of the warehouse, and finally opened the front passenger door and got in.
Jason Lu started the car, turned around, and drove towards the Healing Haven.
"I don't know what Sophie sees in you." Hearing Jason Lu change his way of addressing Sophie Lawrence from "Miss Sophie" to "Sophie", Henry Mitchell's eyes turned cold.
"When did you two become so intimate?"
Jason Lu stared at the rear - view mirror while turning the corner, his tone cold: "Thanks to Dr. Henry's indifference during this period. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with and get to know Sophie."
Henry Mitchell frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean..."
"Ding - ling - ling -"
Jason Lu's words were interrupted by the ringing of his mobile phone. The name "Sophie" was clearly shown on the phone screen. Without any sign of guilt, Jason Lu directly clicked to answer in front of Henry Mitchell.
"I received the figurine you ordered for me last time. Thank you." A clear and gentle voice of Sophie Lawrence came from the other end of the receiver.
Henry Mitchell's deep and silent eyes suddenly became cold. Sophie Lawrence had never been interested in figurines. What did she want this for?
Before he could think further, Jason Lu beside him spoke again.
"Tomorrow is the engagement. I will definitely give that guy another big gift. He also contributed a lot to the warehouse where he saved me back then."
Sophie Lawrence gave a light laugh: "Then on his behalf, I'll say thank you in advance."
"You're welcome."
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
"Okay, you go ahead."
After Jason Lu hung up the phone, Henry Mitchell asked, "Who is getting engaged?"
"Someone in her team."
"So the figurine is also for the person getting engaged?"
"Screech -"
Suddenly, Jason Lu slammed on the brakes and stopped the car on the roadside.
"Henry Mitchell, I really don't understand you. You obviously care about her a great deal, but why are you so cold sometimes? It's just that she may not be able to have children. Do you have to keep harping on it?" Jason Lu's voice carried a trace of anger, but more of it was feeling that Sophie Lawrence didn't deserve this.
Henry Mitchell didn't know why Jason Lu brought up this issue, but obviously he didn't want to say more: "This is a matter between her and me."
Jason Lu was suddenly speechless: "Even if you're afraid that no one will take care of you when you're old, can't you just adopt a child? You know, there are many families nowadays who can't have their own children and choose to adopt."
Henry Mitchell suddenly turned to look at Jason Lu, with a more serious and earnest expression than ever.
"If I say that what I really care about is not this point, do you believe it?"
