All Chapters of Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The emergency room door opened after a short while, and a doctor wearing a medical mask clad in a white coat walked out.Sterling's eyes lit up when the doctor walked out. He got up and wanted to ask him about Sophia's condition, but before he could get up, he was pressed back into his seat by Victor."In the condition that you’re in, Mr. White, I suggest that you stay put." Victor had a great dislike for disobedient patients, thus he did not sound very pleasant at all. Having said that, he did not wait for Sterling to go berserk and walked up to the doctor to ask, "How’s Ms. White doing, Dr. Conor?""She’s alive." Doctor Conor took off his mask, revealing his sullen face.At the sight of his expression, Sterling could not help it anymore and stood up straight away. As he was exerting some strength on his injured leg, his face turned pale from the pain. However, he was not in the mood to attend to it. "What do you mean? Is Soph’s condition critical?"The doctor’s face was so sul

"I may not share the same views as Mr. White, but I must admit that he cares for Ms. White very much." Victor said, "It was beyond my expectation to see a rich second-generation kid like him who cares so much for his image kneel in front of Mr. Harris in public to help you beg for mercy."A positive state of mind was conducive to a patient’s recovery no matter what illness it was.He had very limited interactions with Ms. White, but he could vaguely sense her lack of hope for life. If she could just feel the kindness of those around her and boost her psyche a little, it could be beneficial for her treatment.Nicole, "..."She could not tell whether Dr. Hemingway was criticizing or complimenting her husband."T-that didn’t happen. Don't listen to his nonsense!" Sterling's face flushed instantly. He said awkwardly, "Soph, don’t listen to his nonsense, okay!"Before Sophia could answer, a series of footsteps were heard at the door. Immediately after that, Dr. Conor and several nurse

"...I'm sorry." Charles could feel a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. He wiped the cold sweat off of his head and said in an obscure and difficult manner.His words nearly sent Sterling jumping out of bed. C-c-char... Charles was apologizing to Soph? He knew that the car accident was just a misunderstanding?"I’m afraid I can neither afford nor do I need your apology, Mr. Harris." Sophia sneered with trembling fingers. "Since you now know that this is all just a misunderstanding, am I allowed to leave Dream Club now?"Charles hummed a response. Her furious and fearful face was reflected in his pupils. He felt as though his heart was being pierced with needles over and over again. It might not be fatal, but it was so painful that it was hard to bear.‘Is this… what love feels like?’It seemed to be completely different from what Zachary described it to be. Instead of making him happy, it brought him bitterness instead.After getting a definite answer, Sophia's taut body fin

"At least I sat for the exam myself." Sophia harrumphed heavily. "If you think getting a low score isn’t so pleasing to look at, then you should have studied harder. Why stoop to cheating?"You didn't have the guts to fight back when your papers were confiscated because you got caught for cheating and now you can’t stop complaining about the teacher all day. All these underhanded tricks you’re doing behind other people’s back disgust me!”She had always disliked Ryleigh because of her two-faced character. She bullied the weak and feared the strong. What a vile person.However, the Adam and Jones’ families always had business dealings with each other. Ryleigh shared a pretty good relationship with Leah and Leah was her friend, so it was hard for her to not bump into Ryleigh."You..." Ryleigh was so mad that she could not say a word for a very long time."That’s enough, guys. This is just a small matter. There’s really no need to hurt anyone’s feelings here." Leah smiled helplessly,

"Humph. She could’ve told us earlier if she doesn’t want to be friends with us. She always talks like she has a lot of friends!" Elaine criticized indirectly. "Someone isn’t even remotely abashed for chasing after a man’s tail every single day but is saying that it’s a b*tchy thing to do when we’re just playing a game... From what I can see, she simply can’t handle it!"Ryleigh echoed. "Just be frank with us if you can’t handle this game. Stop wasting everyone's time!""We’re all friends. Stop saying things like that to Sophia." Leah bit her lip and said, "I feel awful when you say things like that to her."Sophia had called Ryleigh out earlier, so she found Sophia to be an eyesore at the moment. "We treat her as our friend but does she treat us the same? I know you’re a nice person and don’t want to see us fighting with each other, but look at her... Look at what she has been saying to us."There were so many people cheating during the professional test. I don’t think writing a ch

"Why didn’t you come in when you were already at the door?" William hung up the call. There was an undisguised affection intermixed in his amber-colored eyes. "If Leah hadn't called me and told me that you were standing outside, I wouldn't have even known."Sophia wore a coat on top of the erotic underwear but still felt terribly uncomfortable. She tugged at her lips but could not bring herself to smile.If Leah knew that she had not entered William's room, then she, Ryleigh, and Elaine must be watching with a pair of binoculars across the building!If she left now, then they would accuse her of 'not being able to handle it'!"What are you thinking about? How are you daydreaming in the middle of a conversation." William leaned forward slightly and stretched out his left hand to sway it in front of her face."Huh?" Sophia snapped back to her senses and realized that his good-looking face was extremely near to hers. The intense emotion in his eyes could almost melt her away.She ba

Sophia rubbed her slightly aching head, then got out of bed. She shuffled her slippers on and covered her upper body as she walked over to open the door.Nicole stood at the door with a pale look on her face. After looking at her up and down several times and was sure that she was okay, Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "You scared me to death. What took you so long to open the door?""I was too tired and slept a bit more. Sorry for making you worried, Nicole," Sophia said, tugging at her lips.Nicole glanced at her bare upper body and frowned. She handed her a new patient blouse, then pushed her into the ward. "Go in and change your clothes."Sophia hummed a response and was about to turn around and walk in when the door of the ward across their room clicked open. Charles appeared at the door clad in a patient’s attire.Maybe it was because of his tall figure, or maybe it was because of his ridiculously handsome face, but he still managed to carry a sense of nob

When he saw Sophia standing outside the door, Charles raised his eyebrows slightly, his sharp and distinct features softening. "Are you looking for me?"Sophia took a deep shaky breath, trying her best to suppress the emotions that were surging in her blood. "I said that I have nothing to do with William and you said that you believe me. You also said that you won’t blame me for the car accident two years ago, right?""Come in, it's cold outside." Charles glanced at her thin patient blouse and stepped aside to clear the doorway.Sophia clenched her hands that were hanging on both sides of her body but did not move. She asked again, "You said that you believe me, right?""Yeah." Charles let out a faint hum, her figure reflected in his pupils.Sophia took a deep shaky breath and glared at him. "You said it yourself that I don’t need to go back to Dream Club anymore, right?”"Yes," Charles said.His affirmation did not make Sophia happy but infuriated her even more instead. "You sa

Charles lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze that was brimming with hate and disgust. "You know what to choose.""Hah." Sophia sneered. Her fist was turning white from clenching too hard. "Charles, the greatest regret of my life is loving you!"She turned around, opened the door, and left.Charles watched as she vanished from his line of vision. He lifted his foot subconsciously but retracted it before he could put it down.Nicole glanced at the door several times, refusing to reconcile to the result. She said, "Mr. Harris, if you really love Soph, then you should know how painful it is for her to stay with you. If I were you, I would let Soph go.""But you're not me," Charles said.Nicole looked at him with a complex expression. "Are you going to force Soph to stay by your side even if she no longer has feelings for you?”"Yes," Charles answered without hesitation.He could not imagine life without Sophia, whether it was in the past or the present."..." Nicole sighed, overwhe

"Go home?" Sophia's face turned sullen the moment she saw her mother. "Where is my home? With the Whites?"She sneered, then said every single word with pauses in between, "That's your home, not mine."Jenny was momentarily stumped. She said with pink eyes, "Do you still blame me, Soph? You caused the car accident, after all. Your dad was afraid that others will say that our family is shielding a murderer. That’s why he chose to sacrifice blood ties for the sake of righteousness! He was left with no choice!"Sophia pursed her lips and stared coldly at her without a word. Her painfully twitching heart was the only thing she could feel.He was left with no choice?How laughable!"You can’t continue working in a place like Dream Club." Her indifference made Jenny uncomfortable. "Soph, come home. I will ask your dad to arrange something for you in the company. Don’t go to Dream Club anymore."She reached out in an attempt to pull Sophia.Sophia's hand moved aside to evade it, avoid
