Chapter 1102: Chapter 1098: That’s Not How You Be a Good Person
She returned to her room, only to see Luke Land lying on the bed, wearing a robe, hands behind his head, watching her calmly.
"Luke Land, get off my bed right now!" Eva Miller’s expression changed quickly. Just a moment ago, she was softly coaxing Alexander, but now she was fierce towards Luke Land.
He obediently got off the bed, walked over to Eva Miller, and embraced her softly in his arms.
"Are you trying to take advantage of me again?" Eva Miller asked warily.
"Yes." Luke Land made no attempt to deny it.
"You!" Lately, Luke Land has become increasingly reckless, and most outrageous of all, the night before last, while she wasn’t paying attention, he sneaked into her bed and undressed her. Damn, he’s becoming more of a scoundrel.
Eva Miller pushed Luke Land away and threatened, "Luke Land, I warn you, if you touch me again, we’ll sleep in separate rooms."
Sure enough, the threat was quite effective.
...
Lately, the weather has been getting worse, with blizzards every day, and the weather forecast has given warnings that it’s not suitable to go out during this period.
Sophie Smith was in the kitchen making coffee when she suddenly glanced towards the hall entrance and saw Irene Morton’s medical team rushing in.
Without thinking much, she put down her coffee cup and walked towards the hall, blocking the path of a Chief Doctor.
"May I inquire about Irene’s condition?"
"Of course." The doctor explained Irene Morton’s current situation to Sophie Smith. Irene’s condition fluctuates, but with medication and treatment, it’s somewhat under control.
"However, Miss Morton’s psychological state is far from optimistic, even the psychologist is at a loss."
Indeed, how could a woman recover quickly after experiencing violence, rape, and drugs? Moreover, before this, Irene had lost her father and was driven out of the house by her older brother and sister-in-law...
Sophie Smith sighed softly and went upstairs to the study with the coffee.
Asher Land didn’t go to the office today but was working from home. She stood at the door, hearing sounds coming from inside, as if he was in a video conference. Sophie Smith didn’t enter directly but waited at the door until he finished the meeting before going in.
"I have something to discuss with you." Her expression was somewhat serious, while he was a bit puzzled.
"What is it?"
He closed the laptop in front of him, pulled out the chair, walked over to her, and asked as he looked down.
"The doctor says, Irene..."
Upon hearing Irene Morton’s name, Asher Land felt a vague sense of unease, but he didn’t interrupt her, allowing her to continue.
"Irene’s psychological condition hasn’t been great recently; the psychologist’s counseling isn’t very effective. Asher Land, I know your position in Irene’s heart is different, if you could spend more time with her normally..."
"Accompany?" Asher Land’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile, "How should I accompany her?"
"You could visit her room more often and talk to her. When you’re free, just... be by her side." After Sophie Smith spoke, her eyelids instinctively lowered a little.
"Heh." Asher Land let out a light laugh, turning his back to stand in front of the full-length mirror.
"Sophie Smith, that’s not how you play the good guy."
