Falling For My “Disabled” Wife by Veronica Winifred

Chapter 27 

Roger said nothing. However, his eyes were gloomy, so much so that they were frightening. 

In this household, Roger and Daisy had been enduring difficulties. They avoided conflicts to keep the peace. But unexpectedly, these people were still unwilling to spare Daisy. 

Roger’s hands involuntarily clenched tightly, and he exuded an intimidating aura. 

Sensing Roger’s anger, Sophie could only comfort him. “Don’t worry,” she said. “Thank goodness we found out in time. After regulating her body for some time, Daisy will get better. But for now, let’s not tell anyone else about this to avoid alerting the enemy.” 

She thought. To find out who’s behind this, we’ll have to wait until that person makes a move next 

time. 

Roger nodded and immediately told Janice, “Janice, in this household, you are the only person my mother trusts. Don’t tell anyone about this matter.” 

Janice immediately nodded with a serious expression, saying, “Rest assured, Mr. Roger and Mrs. Sophie. I’ve served Mrs. Daisy for so many years. I won’t say a word about this matter.” 

Daisy trusted Janice. She sighed wearily. 

Sophie immediately said, “Daisy, you still need more rest. It happens that Roger and I will go out this afternoon. We’ll prepare the medicine along the way. Once you drink it, your condition will improve a lot.” 

Looking at Sophie, Daisy was finally relieved. She said, “Sophic, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t be able to live much longer…” Daisy thought, I’m afraid I wouldn’t understand it even when my dying days approach. Thankfully, the universe is never blind to my pain, blessing me with such a good daughter–in–law.”

Sophie was somewhat bashful. She said, “Daisy, don’t that. You are so kind. You’ll surely live a long life.” 

Janice chimed in, “That’s right, Mrs. Daisy. The universe is never blind to your pain. It specifically. lets Mrs. Sophie marry into the Nicholls family to save you. Mrs. Sophic, you’re indeed the lucky star of our household.” 

Sophie smiled helplessly and said, “Oh, no. Not at all. Daisy, rest well. Roger and I will head back now.” She thought, ‘If I stay any longer, I’ll probably be praised excessively. 

“Alright” Daisy nodded. She then glanced at the silent Roger and said, “Roger, don’t worry. I’m fine.” She thought, ‘Roger has a lot in his mind. His silence must be because he’s overly worried about

Roger nodded. His voice became a little softer as he said, “Rest well.” 

“Alright.” Daisy nodded. It was only then that she relaxed and closed her eyes. And it was only then that Sophie and Roger left Daisy’s room. 

In the corridor, Roger remained silent. Sophie asked in a low voice, “What are you thinking? He seemed quite unhappy. 

Roger sternly said. “In this family, my mother and I have been keeping a low profile and striving for harmony. But it’s just a facade. There are still people watching us secretly.” 

Sophie knew that Roger and Daisy endured in silence, but she could not understand why they were. targeted like this. “People are motivated to act when there is potential for profit or gain,” she said. “There must be some benefit for those people to target you like this, right?” 

Roger said nothing. But Sophie could probably guess a bit. 

It was rumored that back in the day, the most astute person in business among the Nicholls family was Norman’s third son, Peter Nicholls, who was Roger’s father. 

It was said that Norman highly valued him and let him manage the company at a young age. And he did not disappoint Norman. Managing the company for just three years, he doubled the market value of the Nicholls Group and made breakthroughs in various fields. 

Unfortunately, Peter died at a young age. Just when the company was thriving, he suddenly passed. away in a car accident. The Nicholls Group lost its backbone in an instant. Norman also suffered a heavy blow and a severe illness. The management of the group had to be temporarily handed over to Norman’s mediocre eldest son, Damian. 

However, there were rumors that Peter left his shares in the company to his only son. Many said Norman planned to pass the company to his grandson once he grew up, but soon afterward, the grandson nearly died in a car accident as well. Fortunately, Roger survived, but his eyes were impacted. He was no longer suited to manage the company. 

Norman could only resign himself to the situation, allowing his two elder sons to manage the company together. However, he never fully delegated authority to them, retaining control of the position of chairman. So, the situation in the Nicholls family was still quite mysterious. 

Even though Roger could not see, his shares in the company were second only to Norman’s. Being Peter’s wife, Daisy also received some shares. So, Damian and Humphrey’s families had always kept a close watch on them, waiting for an opportunity to gain benefits. 

Roger just did not expect them to be so malicious, actually resorting to poisoning Daisy for the sake of benefits. Roger said coldly, “They fear my mom and me. This point is beyond doubt, no matter. how much we appear weak.” 

Seeing his serious expression, Sophie could not help but console him. “If that’s the case, there’s no

need to appear weak,” she said. 

She thought, I’ve only been here for a few days, but everyone in the Nicholls family is not easy to deal with. How have Roger and his mother managed to get through all these years?‘ The thought of it made her feel distressed. 

Roger sneered and said, “You’re right.” He had long started planning. He thought, ‘Perhaps, it’s time to reveal my strength.” 

Two hours passed. Rebecca did bring home a bunch of things with her servants. 

As Sophic looked at the many handbags in the living room, all of which were branded, she knew that Rebecca did not spare any expense. She immediately displayed an attractive smile and said, “Thank you, Rebecca. It must have been hard work buying so much. It’s getting late. Let’s leave early. When we reach the Bourn family’s home, we can have lunch together.” 

Rebecca furrowed her brows, thinking, I just entered the house. I haven’t even had a sip of water, and this girl wants to leave? I seriously suspect that Sophic is doing this on purpose!” 

Sophie asked, “Rebecca, what’s wrong? You are a little tired and want to rest for a while, huh?” She lifted her eyebrows, pretending to know nothing. 

Rebecca could only force a smile and say, “Nope. You’re right. Let’s go.” Rebecca thought, ‘If the matters concerning the Bourn family can be resolved sooner, I will be at ease. 

“All right, Sophie said. “Let’s go.” Sophie smiled faintly, taking the lead to walk out of the home with Roger. 

As usual, Roger carried Sophie into the car. Dillon immediately got out of the car and helped Sophie fold the wheelchair. He then closed the car door and drove off with both of them without waiting for Rebecca. 

Rebecca, in a fluster, hurriedly had the servants load the handbags into the car. Then, she instructed the driver to chase after them. 

In the rearview mirror, Sophie watched as Rebecca’s car hastily caught up. She smiled faintly and said, “If one wants to create problems for other people, one has to deal with the consequences. Rebecca must hate me now, right?” 

Roger appeared indifferent. “Probably,” he said. “Aunt Rebecca has always been frugal. Today’s spending is considered a huge expenditure for her.” 

Sophie smiled faintly and said, “Well, the Bourn family benefits without putting any effort.” She did not want to give them anything at all. 

Roger could understand the meaning behind Sophie’s words. He smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry. These things won’t be kept by the Bourn family.” 

Chapter 27 

Sophie could not help but glance at him suspiciously. She unexpectedly saw a trace of shrewdness in his smile. 

Meanwhile, Russell was waiting at the Bourn family’s home. 

Rebecca contacted Russell this morning, saying she wanted to bring Roger and Sophie to visit the Bourn family. He did not go to the company and instead waited with Ursa for the arrival of the members of the Nicholls family. 

Laura, on the other hand, had no intention of meeting Sophie. She sat on the sofa without any courtesy, giving a disdainful snort. “Why does the cripple want to come back?” she murmured. “And she even wants to visit the family, huh? Does she really think she’s still part of the Bourn family?”
