Chapter 55
Sophie did not care if Roger could put his words into action, but at that moment, she truly found great comfort.
“Thank you,” Sophie said.
Even if Roger needed someone else to take care of him, his words still warmed her heart.
After calming down for a while, Sophie realized that she had been too impulsive just now for hugging Roger abruptly. Feeling a bit embarrassed and shy, she apologized, “Sorry… I just… touched you.”
This seemed to be the first time Sophie had involuntarily hugged someone of the opposite sex, but surprisingly, she didn’t feel repulsive. Instead, it was very natural for her.
She could not help but be surprised. wondering when she and Roger had become this
close.
Roger smiled. “We’re husband and wife. It’s normal for us to hug.”
‘Oh… Is that so? Isn’t this guy too casual?”
Sophie felt inexplicably upset, thinking, ‘If someone else touches him, will he not reject it as well?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Roger asked after Sophie fell into silence for a while.
“Nothing.” Sophie quickly shook her head. “It’s almost time. Let’s wash up and go downstairs for breakfast.”
“Okay.” Roger nodded and stood up.
Sophie also slowly got out of bed.
Although she had almost recovered, she still needed some time to adapt when getting up every morning.
Roger stayed by her side and considerately helped her out of bed.
Just when the two were about to go wash up, a servant hurriedly knocked on the door.
“Mr. Roger, this is bad! People from the Bourn family are here! They’re arguing with Mrs.

Jasmine. And Mrs. Jasmine wants Mrs. Sophie to go downstairs now!”
“The Bourn family?” Sophie frowned.
She pondered, ‘It seemed like they were here because of the incident with Laura getting beaten yesterday. I didn’t expect them to be here so early. I haven’t had breakfast and I have to quarrel with them. This is so annoying.
Seemingly aware of what she was thinking, Roger suddenly said, “I had the servants bring milk to the room. Have a drink before going down.”
Sophie did not expect him to be so thoughtful, so she nodded with a smile. “Sure.”
The two of them drank the milk unhurriedly, changed their clothes, and freshened up a bit before going downstairs.
But downstairs, Ursa was about to explode.
When she came home the previous night and saw Laura’s injuries, she had wanted to come and confront Sophie. Russell was afraid that Ursa would offend the Bourn family, so he locked her in her room for the night. It was only after he went to work in the morning that Laura let her mother out.
Then, Ursa immediately rushed to the Nicholls family to settle scores with Sophie.
After being stopped by Jasmine, Ursa had been reluctantly waiting on the couch for quite a while. She was about to reach her limit. “Why isn’t she coming down yet? Are you deliberately stalling for time?”
Jasmine looked at Ursa with a gloating expression and quickly pacified her. “Oh, Ursa, please be patient. Both of them, one is visually impaired, and the other has just regained the ability to stand. It will definitely take some time… But Sophie is indeed a bit too slow in getting ready. It’s truly disrespectful to the elders.”
Jasmine kept fanning the flames, desperately hoping that Ursa would teach Sophie a
lesson.
As she expected, Ursa was provoked and stood up angrily. “Since she’s not coming down! I’ll go up and sort her out!”
Ursa was about to rush upstairs.

However, the elevator door opened and Sophie and Roger slowly walked in from the main
hall.
Seeing Ursa, Sophie said coldly, “I didn’t know my adoptive mother missed me so much and came to see me so early in the morning.”
Ursa snarled, “Pfft! Who missed you? Sophie, you ungrateful wretch! How dare you beat my Laura up like that! Do you know she just narrowly escaped death not long ago? If any of her wounds bled last night, would you be able to bear the responsibility?”
Ursa thought to herself, ‘She has stopped giving blood to Laura and had still injured Laura so badly! She is just heartless!‘
Ursa’s yelling made Sophie’s ear itch. Sophie casually scratched her ears and said, “Ursa, your voice is still so sharp and unpleasant.”
Ursa’s face turned grim after being ridiculed.
“How dare you mock me?” She glanced at Roger and said angrily, “Mr. Roger, can you advise your wife to mind her manners? She shows no respect to her mother!”
Last time at the hospital, it was Roger who sent someone to deliver the blood bags, and
she remembered his threat.
Therefore, she did not dare to act against Sophie rashly and could only snap at Roger.
Roger’s expression turned cold. He didn’t expect the woman to have the cheek to call herself Sophie’s mother. He coldly snorted, “You? Do you think you’re qualified to call yourself a mother in front of my wife?”
No one had expected that Roger would retort so strongly.
Instantly, Ursa and Jasmine were both taken aback.
Jasmine had never seen Roger so cold and intimidating. Even she felt an inexplicable chill.
‘The brat’s aura is becoming increasingly powerful, Jasmine thought.
Ursa was shocked that Roger, as a younger generation and her son–in–law, would say such disrespectful words to her.
“Roger, what do you mean?” Ursa could not stand being humiliated in front of so many people, so she was furious.

Just then, Norman and Damian suddenly appeared upstairs. Norman frowned and said angrily, “Mrs. Bourn, you’re making a scene at my house early in the morning! What do you mean by this?”
Norman rarely yelled at Roger. Unexpectedly, Ursa came to the Nicholls residence early in the morning to teach his grandson a lesson.
Norman’s voice startled Ursa.
However, when she turned around, it was as if she had found someone to address her grievance and immediately burst into tears.
“Mr. Norman, you’ve finally come downstairs. You have to uphold justice for my daughter. Your grandson and granddaughter–in–law have gone too far. Last night, Sophie beat my daughter up until she was covered in injuries. I’m here to demand an explanation. But your grandson said I’m not qualified to call myself Sophie’s mum…I’ve raised Sophie for a good ten years. I’m her adoptive mother! How am I not qualified?”
Norman’s head hurt from Ursa’s rasping voice. He valued the morning time the most but the noise had spoiled his mood and made his face crumble.
“Enough! This is the Nicholls residence! Drop your act! If you have something to say, say it! If you keep wailing like this, don’t blame me for getting you out!”
someone to escort
Unexpectedly, the old man was also tough. Ursa immediately shut up and dared not cry
anymore.
However, she refused to let the matter rest. “Mr. Norman, I don’t want to come either, but you have to straighten things out for me today.”
Damian knew that Norman was very protective of Roger, so he deliberately threw the problem to his nephew, “Roger, tell me what happened.”
Roger snorted coldly as he knew that Damian would do this.
However, he was not afraid at all and said directly, “She claimed to be my wife’s mother, but ever since the Bourn family adopted Sophie, they have been drawing her blood to treat Laura. Laura has a rare blood type. They will have to pay an exorbitant cost to buy blood. But the Bourn family are good at calculating. They adopted a girl and only need to bear some living expenses and at most some tuition fees. After raising her, they can keep her by their side as a free blood tank. Yet, you have the cheek to call yourself her mother?
