Chapter 706
Night of Destiny
Sophia sat up and asked the nurse. âDid he stay the night?â The nurse was the one who worked the
night shift, so of course, she knew who was with her in the ward last night.
âYes. Thatâs why I thought he was your boyfriend!â replied the nurse with a smile.
Sophia looked at the chair by the edge of the bed, and there was a hint of distress in her eyes. How
could she make him stay up all night to take care of her?!
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the door, and Arthur came in with boxes of food
in his hands. It was breakfast, specially delivered by his bodyguard from a luxurious restaurant.
âYouâre awake. Have something to eat.â After Arthur finished speaking, he opened a box of food and
handed her a fork.
âThank you, Young Master Weiss,â Sophia thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
Arthurâs hand fell on her forehead. As if he had done this action too many times last night, it seemed
natural.
Once his warm and big hand was placed on her forehead, Sophia felt warmth reaching the bottom of
her heart. Blinking her long lashes and having her head lowered bashfully, she waited for him to check
her body temperature.
It seemed that overnight, her relationship with this man had broken through another dimension.
âOnce youâre done with breakfast, Iâll send my bodyguard to take you home to rest,â Arthur uttered
while taking a seat. His deep and clear eyes were now bloodshot, and he looked kind of fatigued, which
was visible to the naked eye.
âWhy donât you tell your bodyguard to take you home instead? I will call my dadâs driver to come and
pick me up,â Sophia suggested, feeling bad for him.
Arthur nodded and responded, âSure!â
After she made the call, the driver said that he would come half an hour later, but Arthur did not leave
immediately. Sophia took a bite of the pancake, which was fluffy and melted instantly in her mouth. It
also had a smooth buttery scent.
After taking the first bite, she immediately turned to look at Arthur, inquiring, âYou havenât eaten, have
you?â
âIâm not hungry, Arthur replied.
Hearing that, Sophia hurriedly ate her portion of the pancake and forked another piece, shoving it at
Arthur. âItâs delicious. Try it.â
Arthur was slightly stunned. After that, he leaned over and opened his mouth to eat the pancake she
offered.
âIs it good?â Sophia asked expectantly, as if eager to get his feedback.
âYeah!â Arthur nodded.
Sophia grinned at his response. After sharing the food, they finished the pancake in no time.
There were two more boxes of breakfast, but Sophia was too full to eat them. Since her fever had just
subsided, she didnât have much appetite.
Arthur then said to her, âYou donât have to stay by my side during this time. Iâll call you if I need you.â
Hearing that, Sophia guessed, âAre you leaving?â
âNo. My grandma came back with my grandpaâs urn, so Iâm going with her to bury my grandpaâs
ashes,â Arthur answered truthfully.
Although Sophia was a little clumsy sometimes, she could still make sense of some matters. Nodding
sensibly, she replied, âSure! You should get that done first.â
When her driver was about to arrive, Arthur left, leaving Sophia lying in bed. Suddenly, she fell deep
into thought while looking pure and beautiful.
In Arthurâs mansion, Emily stayed up late last night waiting for him to come home, but she couldnât hold
her sleepiness, so she fell asleep. It was not until the morning that he returned.
âArtie, why did you only come back now?! Is Sophia Goodwin worth your night spent in the hospital?â
Emily failed to hide her jealousy in her tone.
âEmily, my grandma will be here this afternoon. Donât mention Sophia in front of her.â Arthur told her
with a serious expression.
Emily was startled upon hearing that, because she had already told Martha! She secretly reported it to
Martha last time.
âIâm sorry⦠I accidentally mentioned Sophiaâs name on a call with your grandma last time.â
Arthurâs handsome face suddenly turned gloomy as he questioned, âWhat did you tell her?â
âNothing. I only said that you hired a young maid,â Emily explained in a soft voice, not daring to infuriate
Arthur.
