Chapter 131

“You can’t be alone here at night,” Brandon said. “Who’s gonna look after you if I take off?”

They were back to square one with that question.

Sophia felt she wasn’t so frail that she needed babysitting. Even if she did, hiring a nurse would do the trick, no need to keep someone on standby.

“Are you planning to stick around tonight?” Sophia asked, hesitating.

Brandon didn’t nod or shake his head. “Got someone better in mind?”

He glanced at her phone. “Or maybe you want him to take care of you? That’s cool too, your call.”

“Well. Sophia pondered for a moment, “then let’s have him come over, you go ahead with your stuff!”

Brandon was speechless.

He gave her a calm look. “Alright, once he’s here to take over, I’ll head out.”

Sophia fell silent.

She didn’t actually dare to have Ivan stay and look after her; she just wanted to persuade Brandon to head out first.

But Brandon was never one to be easily sent away.”

Sophia wasn’t sure if he saw through her bluff about not daring to have Ivan substitute or if he really wanted to wait for someone to come before he could leave with peace of mind. He stayed put, so she didn’t press any further.

Once she finished taking her meds, Brandon pulled up a chair in front of the hospital bed and settled down to continue with his work.

He had rushed out at noon and hadn’t brought his laptop, so he was working from his phone.

Sophia occasionally heard him answering calls, calmly organizing work.

She didn’t sleep, and Brandon didn’t deliberately avoid her.

It felt a bit like going back to their two years of married life..

Under the same roof, busy with their own things, not bothering each other.

Sophia was accustomed to this non-interference mode too. It made her feel more comfortable.
