Chapter 59
These words resonated with the feelings of a few people.
Even Thomas fell silent.
Actually, he had always felt that Norman cared about Roger simply because Roger had impaired vision and the old man could not let him work at the company.
But now, Sophie had become his eyes.
Thomas felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, not to mention Damian and Humphrey.
They looked at each other and snorted coldly, “Even if the old man values him, so what?
“That’s right. We’re in charge of the company now. There’s no way it’ll be handed over to Roger,” Humphrey remarked.
Rebecca did not say anything, but she agreed with her husband.
Only then did Jasmine feel a little less worried. “It seems we are particularly united this
time.”
As long as they stood together, it meant that the good days of the third branch were coming to an end.
After Sophie and Roger went upstairs, they decided to check on Daisy.

Sophie’s matter had been resolved, but there were still no clues about the poisoning of
Daisy.
Fortunately, after Daisy stopped taking the medicine, she recovered relatively quickly.
When Sophie and Roger entered the room together, they saw Daisy reading a book on the bed, looking invigorated.
“Mom, how do you feel today?” Sophie asked with a smile.
“Sophie? Quickly sit down.” Daisy’s health had been getting better lately, all thanks to Sophie.
She was truly growing fond of her daughter–in–law.

Sophie sat down with a smile and placed her hand on Daisy’s pulse. After a while, she gently said to Daisy, “Mom, your body is recovering much faster than I expected. The toxins are being expelled rapidly. In a few days, they will be completely eliminated. I’ll prescribe new medicine for you, and you’ll recover soon.”
“Really?” Daisy’s eyes lit up and she immediately held Sophie’s hand in gratitude. “Sophie, you’re truly my lucky star. I don’t know how to thank you.”
If it wasn’t for Sophie, Daisy was unlikely to live long and would have died.
“Mom, I’m your daughter–in–law. We’re family. There’s no need to thank me.” Sophie shook her head helplessly. Then, she thought of something and said, ” Regarding the poisoning incident, have there been any leads?”
Daisy shook her head and her gaze landed on her son. “If Rogy finds anything, he will definitely tell me.”
But in the past few days, Roger had not told her anything.
Roger replied in a low voice, “The medicine from before should be enough to last until the end of this month. I estimate that the perpetrator won’t show up so soon. After Mom finishes the medicine, that person will definitely not sit idly by.”
Sophie nodded. “What you said makes sense. There’s no rush in this. Anyway, Mom isn’t taking the medicine now, and her body is recovering well.”
Daisy nodded. “You’re right. As long as my body recovers, we can talk about other things
later.”
Seeing that Daisy seemed to be a little soft–hearted and did not want to continue finding the truth, Sophie did not ask further. She just went along with Daisy and said, “Mom, you
are right.”
Seeing that his mother and wife got along so well, Roger said in a low voice, “I’ve found out something about the doctor, but since Sophie stood up a few days ago, I didn’t ask the doctor to come over in case it would alert the perpetrator.”
The fact that Sophie could stand up was kept secret. With him accompanying her in rehabilitation, she could recover without needing assistance from others.
“That’s good. Anyway, Sophie can stand up now. These things are not important. What matters is that our family of three is doing well in the future.” Daisy was really grateful that

Sophie could stand up.
Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something. “I just heard from Janice that Mrs. Bourn had an argument with you and someone from the Dawson family also came. What’s going on?”
Sensing Daisy’s concern, Sophie briefly explained the situation.
Upon learning that Sophie had been accepted by the Dawson family, Daisy was overjoyed. “This is amazing! Sophie, this is your first time home. You can’t go empty–handed. I’ll get Janice to prepare a gift for your parents and brothers.”
“Mom, there’s no need to spend so much money…” Sophie felt a bit embarrassed.
However, Daisy said, “This is nothing. They are my real in–laws. I must not neglect them. You two go back to your room and rest. I’ll have everything prepared and call for you.”
“Mom…” Sophie tried to dissuade her mother–in–law.
However, Roger held her hand and said, “Just go along with Mom.”
Sophie could only nod helplessly.
After leaving Daisy’s room together, the couple returned to their own room.
Sophie was a little nervous and excited about going home for the first time. When she returned to her room, she stood in front of the wardrobe and said, “What should I wear.
Roger sat on the sofa quietly and waited for her while she was choosing clothes.
Sophie picked a light pink dress and instinctively wanted to take off her clothes to change.
Roger immediately felt uneasy and said, “I’m going to the balcony to enjoy the sun.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Sophie did not mind, directly taking off her clothes and changing into the dress.
Roger had already turned around and walked to the balcony.
However, he could still hear Sophie muttering, “This one won’t do… it’s too revealing. I should change into another one.”
Then followed the sound of rustling clothes.

Without turning around, Roger knew that Sophie had once again directly taken off her clothes to change into another one.
Even if he didn’t turn around, he could vividly imagine the scene of her changing clothes in
his mind.
Gradually, he felt his body heat up.
Fortunately, there was wind on the balcony, which alleviated some of his restlessness.
An unknown period of time had passed, and Sophie finally selected an outfit.
After putting on the clothes, she also applied some simple makeup.
It was only at this moment that Roger returned to the room and said, “It’s still early. Don’t be too nervous.”
After being reminded by Roger Nicholls, Sophie finally realized, “Oh yeah, I am a bit
nervous.”
Roger smiled. “Do you want me to go with you?”
Sophie was stunned and didn’t know how to respond because she hadn’t thought about
that.
She wondered if she should go by herself or bring someone with her.
Roger seemed to notice her hesitation, so he said, “I’m your husband. I should go with you. They probably won’t say anything. Besides, with me by your side, you probably won’t be so
nervous.”
The last sentence had indeed hit the nail on the head.
She didn’t want to let her nerves get the best of her. If Roger was with her, she would feel
much more at ease.
After thinking for a moment, she agreed, “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you to go with me. I guess they won’t mind.”
Roger said with a smile, “They won’t.”
He thought to himself, ‘Sophie is so amazing. No one would be willing to blame her.”

Time passed quickly.
Shortly before noon, Daisy finally prepared all kinds of expensive gifts.
She put a lot of effort into it and the gifts were much better than what Rebecca had sent to the Bourn family last time..
“Let’s go,” Roger instructed the servants to load everything onto the car while holding Sophie’s hand.
Seemingly to have gained strength from Roger, Sophie nodded and got into the car with him.
Indeed, with him by her side, she would have the courage.
