Mask of the Lustful Wife (Sofia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2

Nathaniel had really nice eyes, with a small mole at the corner. Despite his pale skin from being bedridden, Sofia Schneider still thought he was the most stunning man in the world.

She couldn't help but stare in a daze.

Perhaps sensing the unfamiliar gaze, Nathaniel's eyes moved and locked precisely onto Sofia's.

Instantly, a flash of anger surged in his previously calm eyes.

Nathaniel looked away and spoke to Older Mr. Hart, "Grandpa, you should give up. So many doctors have given up on me, don't be stubborn anymore."

Hearing this, Older Mr. Hart's initial joy faded. He patiently urged, "Nathaniel, please don't say that. As long as there's a bit of hope, I won't give up. Don't give up on yourself, okay?"

Nathaniel turned his eyes away, not wanting to see the worry and helplessness in his grandfather's eyes.

Since his accident, he had watched his grandfather age.

For the past six months, he had been tirelessly seeking medical help day and night, spending a fortune, even scouring the black market and the dark web for information.

Nathaniel saw it all.

But the more his grandfather tried, the less hope Nathaniel had for recovery.

If he could move, he would end it himself to let his elderly grandfather enjoy his remaining years without worrying about him.

Seeing Nathaniel withdraw into himself, Older Mr. Hart understood his thoughts. He composed himself and said, "Nathaniel, don't overthink it. I haven't brought a doctor this time."

At these words, Nathaniel finally looked backwith puzzled.

Could there be anything that pleased Older Mr. Hart more than finding him medical help?

Older Mr. Hart introduced, "Nathaniel, this is Sofia, the third child of the Schneider family. She will be your wife from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of mockery appeared on Nathaniel's face, and the anger in his eyes intensified.

He didn't look at Sofia but said coldly, "Grandpa, I don't need her!"He was already ruined. What right did he have to have a wife?

"Nathaniel, I just want someone to take care of you. There are only men in this house, and they can't care for you properly. This way, I'll feel more at ease."

Older Mr. Hart explained, his tone unusually humble, leaving Sofia with a heavy heart.

Benson Schneider might have shown such kindness, but never towards her.

Sofia wanted to say something to Nathaniel, like how she was actually a doctor and could take care of him professionally if he agreed to Older Mr. Hart's arrangement.

Although she just couldn't bear to see Older Mr. Hart so sad.

But she could tell Nathaniel was vehemently opposed to doctors. When Older Mr. Hart introduced her, he hadn't mentioned her profession, and she understood why.
