A tranquility pervaded the air. After a long while, Sophie Lawrence finally broke this somewhat eerie atmosphere.
"Sophie, is this your Henry Mitchell brother?" Sophie Lawrence asked Ethan beside her.
Sophie Lawrence stood up and replied softly, "Yes."
After that, she quickly took off her gloves for eating shrimp, looked at Henry Mitchell, with a trace of confusion and worry in her eyes, and asked, "Henry Mitchell, why did you come back all of a sudden? Don't Henry Sr. and Mrs. He need someone to take care of them?"
Henry Mitchell heard the obvious guilt in Sophie Lawrence's tone and couldn't help but sneer: "If I didn't come back, I'm afraid I would never see such a scene."
Hearing the coldness in Henry Mitchell's words, the words that Sophie Lawrence wanted to explain were suddenly stuck in her chest, as if her throat was stuffed with an invisible ball of cotton, full of words but hard to utter.
Ethan secretly glanced at Jason Lu. He saw that the corners of Jason Lu's mouth were slightly curled up, seemingly with a bit of complacency. Ethan immediately understood why his brother had to come to Sophie Lawrence's place at this time.
"Sophie, then we'll go back first." Jason Lu said as he took off his gloves.
Ethan quickly followed suit and said, "Sister Sophie, I'm leaving. Looking forward to seeing you next time."
Sophie Lawrence clenched her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Let me see you out." as she looked at Jason Lu and Ethan.
The air around Henry Mitchell instantly became a few degrees colder, as if the surrounding air was about to freeze.
Jason Lu slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "No need. Ethan and I know the way."
After saying that, Jason Lu walked towards the door, and Ethan followed closely behind him.
"Bang - "
The door was closed, leaving only Henry Mitchell and Sophie Lawrence in the room. The air was still filled with a strong smell of seafood, which was like a thick fog, filling the entire room.
Henry Mitchell stared at the pile of leftovers on the dining table for a long, long time, motionless like a statue.
"Sophie, do you know that you can't eat these things because of your cold body?" Henry Mitchell suddenly asked, with a trace of imperceptible helplessness in his voice.
Sophie Lawrence was slightly stunned. She pursed her lips and replied in a dull voice, "Yes."
Henry Mitchell slowly withdrew his gaze and dropped a sentence, "I've hired a caregiver in Healing Haven." Then he walked directly into the bedroom.
In the bathroom, Henry Mitchell's face was extremely ugly. The emotions that had been suppressed just now were all released at this moment like a bursting flood.
"Jason Lu, your intentions are too obvious." His voice echoed in the bathroom, with a trace of anger and unwillingness.
...
After Sophie Lawrence cleaned up the things on the dining table, she immediately opened the window to ventilate. She hoped that the smell of seafood could dissipate as soon as possible. Worried that the smell of seafood on her body would be brought into the bedroom, she deliberately took a blanket from the sofa and wrapped it around herself. Then she went into the room to get a change of clothes and then went to the bathroom outside to take a shower.
When Sophie Lawrence came out of the bathroom, Henry Mitchell was sitting in front of the bed with medicine, waiting for her.
After Henry Mitchell applied the medicine to Sophie Lawrence, he put things away while saying, "Tomorrow, the students I'm in charge of will enter the operating room in Healing Haven. I need to go and keep an eye on them. As for Henry Sr. and Mrs. He, I'll leave them to you."
Sophie Lawrence hesitated subconsciously for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay."
...
Early the next morning, Henry Mitchell and Sophie Lawrence went to Healing Haven together.
Actually, Henry Mitchell had already hired a caregiver. Even if Sophie Lawrence went, she would just be an extra person to keep an eye on things.
When they arrived at Healing Haven, Henry Mitchell hurriedly went to the ward to take a look at Henry Sr. and Mrs. He, and then directly changed his clothes and walked into the operating room.
In the ward, the atmosphere between Sophie Lawrence and Mrs. He was extremely awkward. Even the strange caregiver noticed it.
"Sophie, I heard Henry Mitchell say yesterday that there was a small chessboard in his office. Go and get it and let's play chess for a while." Henry Sr. suddenly said.
Sophie Lawrence replied, "Okay."
In the doctor's office in Healing Haven.
Sophie Lawrence searched around Henry Mitchell's desk for a long time but still couldn't find the chessboard that Henry Sr. mentioned.
A nurse passed by the door. Seeing Sophie Lawrence looking for something, she asked enthusiastically, "Captain Sophie, what are you looking for?"
"Henry Mitchell said there was a small chessboard in the office. Do you know where he might have put it?"
The nurse shook her head, but still pointed a direction for Sophie Lawrence.
"But that's the small cabinet where Henry Mitchell keeps his things. You can look inside."
Sophie Lawrence looked in the direction the nurse pointed. Indeed, she saw a square - shaped small cabinet beside the corner of the desk.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After the nurse left, Sophie Lawrence crouched down and opened the small cabinet.
The chessboard was not inside.
Just as Sophie Lawrence was about to close the cabinet door, a document originally placed on top suddenly caught her attention.
When she saw the words on the cover of the document clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her eyes were full of shock.
The five big words "Divorce Agreement" were printed on the cover of the document.
