Chapter 355

“Soph!” Nicole was so terrified that her face instantly paled as she rushed forward.

Leah quickly rushed over in panic as well. “Sophia, what happened... Ah!”

Her legs buckled beneath her and she fell on Sophia.

Where Nicole and William could not see, she pinched Sophia’s underarm hard. She knew that it was an inconspicuous spot to bruise, and the underarm had more pain receptors than other parts of the body.

Then, Leah glanced at Sophia’s expression only to see that Sophia’s eyelash did not even flinch. It seemed that she had really fainted and was not just playing pretend.

“Leah, are you alright?” William hurried over and helped her up, but his gaze remained on Sophia as he continued. “If you’re not feeling well, you should just rest in your room and not cause even more trouble here.”

Cause more trouble? Leah winced internally. Her brother had never spoken to her this way before.

Moreover, if she was injured along with someone else, her brother would care more about her than the other...

“Sophia? Sophia?” Of course, William did not know the thoughts in Leah’s head. He loosened his hands around her and went to Sophia while gently calling out her name.

However, Sophia’s eyes were shut close. It seemed that something bad had happened.

“We don’t need the two of you here pretending to be nice. If it weren’t for you, Soph wouldn’t have fainted from aggravation!” Nicole shoved William aside angrily, her bloodshot eyes wide open from anger.

William felt guilty and worried. “The doctor’s office is just in front of us, I can carry Sophia over!”

“There’s no need!” Nicole rejected him with a look of disgust and took out her phone to call Sterling. “Soph fainted outside the room, hurry up and come over now!”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Sterling rushed out of the room with James. James was flustered and anxious while following behind Sterling.

“She was well just now, why did she faint all of a sudden?” Sterling asked as he ran over impatiently and scooped Sophia up into his arms.

Nicole followed behind him anxiously. “Stop asking so many questions and get a doctor! We don’t know if it’s her pulmonary edema recurring again!”

Knowing Sterling’s temper, William had no doubt that he would be asked to leave if he followed them. However, he could not stop worrying about Sophia, so he still tagged along without hesitation.

Leah followed beside him, her face pale and filled with worry as well.

“The two of you can stop shedding your crocodile tears! Stop following us and scram!” Just the mere sight of the siblings irritated Sterling. He could not help but stop and growl at them.

Leah’s eyes were red and swollen by then. With a trembling voice, she said, “We’re just worried about Soph...”

“Scram! Do you not understand English at all?” Sterling was so outraged that there seemed to be fumes coming out of his ears.

Nicole cast a cold look at the Jones siblings and patted Sterling’s shoulder. “Let’s get Soph to a doctor first!”

“We’ll get you back for this, just wait and see!” Sterling yelled as he gritted his teeth and quickly left after with Sophia still in his arms.

William’s brows were tightly knitted together. He instinctively moved forward, intending to follow after them, but after a slight hesitation, he took a step back.

Since Sophia was unwilling to see him, it would only aggravate her even more if he stuck around, right?

“Will, I... Did I stir up trouble again?” Leah looked up at her brother. A tear fell from the corner of her eye and she quickly wiped it away with a hand.

William looked down at her, his chest overwhelmed with a rush of different emotions.

If this was in the past, he would have been certain that she was wronged. He would feel distressed for her, but now... He could barely tell whether she was acting or not.

“Will, do you blame me as well?” Leah gave a self-deprecating laugh, her tone light as a feather. “If that’s the case, why did you save me then? You should have let me die as an apology to Sophia, and both of us would feel better about it.”

When she put it that way, William felt a tinge of annoyance. At the same time, he was doubtful. “If you really wanted to die, why did you call me?”

He never wanted to think the worst of his sister, but time and time again, the things she did constantly made him suffer!

“Will, are you doubting me?” With disbelief written all over her face, Leah said in a sad tone, “Tell me then, why do you think that I killed myself? What can I possibly benefit from killing myself?”

William averted his eyes and clenched his fists. “You tried to kill yourself so you can blame it on Sophia. Isn’t this the biggest plus point for you?”

“Will! I’m only human, I’m not God, you know that right?!” Judging from Leah’s tone, she was on the verge of crying. “Do you remember what the doctor said when you brought me to the hospital? He said that if you had brought me in any minute later, I would have lost my life!

“Do you think it’s possible that I planned everything in advance and timed everything perfectly so that you would be able to get me to the hospital just in time before I died? Or do you think that I would risk losing my life just to finish my fight with Sophia?”

William already had his suspicions that she attempted suicide to frame Sophia, but after listening to her now, he felt doubtful again.

Was it possible that he had misunderstood her?

“Let me ask you then, do you know the reporter from just now?”

The frown on Leah’s face deepened. Her eyes were exhausted and wary. “Just like you said just now, we’ve been together the whole time for the past two days. There’s no way I had the time or opportunity to find a reporter.”

Although this seemed logical and made complete sense, William refused to believe her words that easily.

After all, Leah had lied to him too many times over the past few years!

“Anyway, both of us are the main reason why Sophia passed out this time. The next time you see her, just walk away.” With that, without even another glance, he turned around and left in the direction where Sophia and her family had gone just now.

Leah stared at his figure as he walked away as annoyance and disappointment filled her eyes.

She needed to work hard to earn everything she had, but the White family and Charles were always handing Sophia everything she wanted. None of the things Sophia had were acquired by herself through her own capabilities!

How could she lose to an idiot like her in love and relationships?

Leah’s rational side told her that she should stop going against Sophia like this because it would not do her any good, but her emotional side just could not let all her past efforts go to waste just like this.

She should just think of this as her last try. After this, if Charles still chose to be with Sophia... She would finally let go!

After doing a full-body examination on Sophia, the doctor said, “Her body is a little weak and her liver is quite heaty. I’ll write you a prescription in a bit. You can collect the medicine required for her to regulate her body. She’s pregnant, right? How many months now?”

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 354 It’s True That Leah Tried To Kill Herself Sophia laid in bed with her eyes still shut tightly. She showed no signs of waking up at all.

“Barely a month!” Sterling looked at his sister and continued anxiously. “Doctor, are you sure that my sister’s body is just slightly weak? Why did she faint all of a sudden, and why hasn’t she woken up yet?”

The doctor took off his glasses and sighed lightly. He wiped his glasses before putting them back on and answered, “Maybe... She’s too tired and fell asleep?”

As he said these words, his eyes quickly scanned across Sterling, James, and Nicole.

Sterling, “...”

Damn it, why did this doctor seem unreliable?

However, quick-witted as she was, the thought finally occurred in Nicole’s head as she figured it out.
