CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 298 I VOLUNTEER (3)

Just like that, Sophie Smith and Eva Miller kept taking turns to care for Christopher Smith. About two days later, Christopher began to regain consciousness.

He woke up and saw Sophie, unable to hold back his tears.

"Little Sophie, Dad..."

"Dad, you don’t need to say anything, just focus on getting better," Sophie forced herself to maintain a smile, afraid Christopher would notice her sadness.

She spent the whole morning chatting with Christopher, and for once, he laughed heartily.

In the afternoon, Oliver Johnson came over.

He had been visiting frequently over the past two days, but each time he came, Christopher was in a coma, so Christopher hadn’t met Oliver yet.

"Little Sophie, who’s this?"

"Dad, this is Oliver Johnson. Mr. Johnson, you were lucky to have his help during your illness. He found you the best hospital and doctor."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Johnson."

"No need for thanks, I’m a friend of Miss Smith’s, so it was only right for me to help."

Oliver Johnson truly embodied gentlemanly grace, so polite and courteous, speaking as gently as water, without the airs some wealthy heirs tend to have. Compared to a certain someone, he’s so much better.

Christopher and Oliver got along well, engrossed in conversation, leaving Sophie sidelined.

"Mr. Johnson, what do you think of my Little Sophie?" Christopher suddenly asked.

Sophie felt a slight unease, a bit nervous as she looked at Oliver, wondering why Christopher suddenly asked such a question.

"Miss Smith is very beautiful, considerate, and has a great personality..."

Oliver’s words made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Yes, our Little Sophie is both graceful and skilled in the kitchen - a perfect match for you, Mr. Johnson..."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Sophie quickly stopped Christopher, "Stop misunderstanding the relationship between Mr. Johnson and me. We’re just regular friends, not as complicated as you think."

Oliver curled his lips slightly; actually, he didn’t mind Christopher saying more. At the very least, he liked hearing these things.

...

With all these busy days caring for Christopher, she forgot about something important.

Asher Land.

Oh no, she forgot to contact him, but strangely, he hadn’t reached out to her either.

Without overthinking, she directly called him.

The call connected, but she didn’t know how to explain things to him right away.

"Um..."

"I’m busy with some things right now, if it’s nothing urgent, you might want to hang up," Asher said.

"Huh?" Sophie didn’t quite react immediately.

"I’m at the European Headquarters right now because I have things to handle."

"Europe?" When did he go there? Why didn’t he tell her?

Vaguely, she heard Robert Williams’ voice, seeming to urge Asher to do something.

"If you’re busy then I’ll hang up, goodbye."

"Enjoy your freedom for half a month; you won’t have the chance once I’m back from Europe." When he said this, Sophie couldn’t tell his emotions.

"I will, goodbye." She hung up the phone, pouting her pink lips in dissatisfaction.

"How could he just run off to Europe without a word," she muttered. If she didn’t report her whereabouts for even a day, he’d be upset, angry, but look at him — going to Europe for half a month without telling her!
