Falling For My “Disabled” Wife by Veronica Winifred

Chapter 17 

The two of them were so considerate of each other. 

Daisy, who was watching from the side, felt delighted. Even Willard was moved. Willard couldn’t understand why Roger would accept a handicapped person. Now, it seemed Roger had made the right choice. 

Sophie’s legs would recover sooner or later, and her courage just now showed that she was not someone to be trifled with. In the future, no one would dare to bully Daisy and Roger in this house again. 

Coming back to her senses, Sophie quickly instructed, “Willard, Roger needs to get a tetanus shot for his wound. I leave it to you.” 

“Alright.” Willard nodded and immediately told her, “Mrs. Sophie, rest assured. I’ll have the driver take Mr. Roger for an injection.” 

“Good.” Sophie smiled and entrusted Roger to Willard. 

Roger initially wanted to stay a bit longer, but Willard had come over to help him up, so Roger had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he reminded Sophie, “If you don’t want to come downstairs for dinner tonight, just have someone send it up.” Roger was worried that Jasmine might bully her again in his absence. 

Seeing his concern, Sophie understood and reassured Roger, “Don’t worry. She probably won’t come downstairs for dinner tonight. I’ll wait for you to come back.” 

Sophie’s words made Roger curl his lips slightly. Indeed, he had been overly worried. 

Without saying more, Roger turned and left the Nicholls family’s residence. 

As she watched Roger leave, Sophie felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart. Unfortunately, due to her current condition, she couldn’t accompany him to the hospital. 

Sophie glanced at her legs and couldn’t help but murmur, “It seems I have to recover quickly.” Only in this way could Sophie protect the people she wanted to protect. 

Seeing her determination, Daisy stepped forward and held Sophie’s hand. “Sophie, you don’t need to be so strong. Although I am not in good health, I will become strong and protect you well in the future.” 

Seeing Sophie using her frail body to protect both of them, Daisy couldn’t help but be moved. Since her husband’s death and Damian took control of the family, Daisy and Roger gradually lost their influence. Jasmine and Rebecca also took advantage of the situation and pushed them around. For the sake of Roger, Daisy had endured for years.

But now Daisy realized that her tolerance did not bring happiness to Roger. Instead, Sophie would suffer after marrying into the family. As a mother, Daisy felt guilty toward Roger and Sophie. 

“Daisy… don’t say that. With your gentle nature, standing up for me just now was already very brave. In the future, if there’s something you don’t want to do, just leave it to me,” Sophie comforted Daisy in a low voice. She did not want Daisy to force herself. 

Seeing how good Sophie was, Daisy couldn’t help but feel that her son had a discerning eye. With red–rimmed eyes, she said, “It’s my and Roger’s fortune to have such a good daughter–in–law. Don’t worry. I’ve already contacted the best doctor abroad, and he’ll arrive tomorrow to help you recover as soon as possible.” 

Sophie didn’t expect Daisy to do as she promised and found the best specialist for her. Sophie was grateful. “Okay. Thank you, Daisy.” 

Sophie had been using traditional medicine for her legs. If combined with modern medicine, perhaps she could recover more quickly. 

“It’s nothing.” Daisy held her hand, chatted for a while, and then personally escorted Sophie upstairs. 

It was only at dinner time that Roger returned, and Sophie came downstairs again. The two of them sat down together. 

Norman was unaware of the events in the afternoon. He saw the wound on Roger’s forehead and asked curiously, “Roger, you are injured?” 

Roger did not speak. At the opposite end of the table, Damian’s expression seemed somewhat gloomy, appearing a bit nervous.

Sophie knew that Damian would have known the truth by now, but he chose not to speak out. It seemed that no one in the family truly considered Daisy and Roger’s welfare. 

However, Sophie was also a person who knew how far to push. Since she had already agreed to compromise with Jasmine, she would consider it as doing Damian a favor. 

Thinking of that, Sophie smiled and answered, “I accidentally bumped into a vase. Roger was injured while protecting me, but it’s just a minor wound. He has already received a tetanus shot. Mr. Norman, don’t worry.” 

Seeing Sophie’s brilliant smile, Norman believed it was nothing serious. “Then, let’s eat.” 

Everyone began eating. Damian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he glanced at Sophie. 

Sophie also gave Damian a meaningful look. “Uncle Damian, you owe me a favor,” she seemed to

say. 

How could Damian not understand what Sophie meant? He nodded and noted it down.

Sophie speculated that the next few days would be better, so she decided not to say anything more. “Roger, what do you want to eat? Let me help you with the food.” 

Sophie continued to list out the food on the table, asking Roger what he wanted to eat. Roger responded to her. The family had become accustomed to only the two of them talking during mealtimes while the others remained silent. 

After dinner, Roger pushed Sophie upstairs. Roger was about to carry Sophie to the bed but Sophie calmly told him, “There’s no need to carry me from now on. Assisting me is enough.” 

Roger didn’t ask and just smiled. “Alright.” 

Sophie liked Roger’s sense of propriety and trust. She handed her hand to him and he helped Sophie stand up. With a bit of force, Sophie leaned on him and gradually returned to the bed. 

It was the first time Sophie didn’t hide her ability to stand from him. Being helped onto the bed by Roger, she unexpectedly felt a strange sense of dependence. “Thanks.” She smiled. 

He frowned. “You’re saying thanks again.” 

Sophie couldn’t help but stick out her tongue. “Oh, I can’t help it. I’ll slowly change.” 

This time, Roger didn’t scold Sophie. He just smiled indulgently. Although the two didn’t say anything more, the atmosphere was a bit sweet. 

Sophie had never been alone with any man in such a quiet manner. Although it felt a bit unusual, it wasn’t awkward either. 

After a while of silence, Roger poured Sophie a glass of water. “I’ll go to the study to listen to a book. 

Rest.” 

“Okay.” Sophie smiled, 

Roger turned and headed to the study. However, Sophie’s gaze involuntarily followed Roger, watching as he sat in the study and opened the blind–friendly computer. Sophie was somewhat curious about what Roger did on the computer every day, apart from listening to books. But they weren’t familiar enough to casually discuss such matters, so Sophie decided to lie down and rest. 

Sophie’s phone suddenly received a message. Surprisingly, it was an email notification. She immediately opened it and checked it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another email from Sophie’s teacher. [They indeed are your biological parents.] Night’s email included not only that single sentence but also attached the result 

of the test. 

Sophie was so excited that she almost jumped up, staring wide–eyed in astonishment. She quickly checked the names on the document. Sophie had been waiting for this day for too long. After searching for her biological parents for so many years, she had finally found them. 

“Marcus… Dawson?” Sophie murmured. Where had she heard the name before?
