"Impossible."
Hurley didn't even consider it for a moment; he directly vetoed Matilda's words.
Although he wasn't close with Sophie, from the interactions they had, Sophie didn't seem like that kind of person.
"Why is it impossible? Hurley, you've only known Sophie for a short while, yet you're defending her. Haven't you seen the things she's done? She was so ruthless towards me, she even tried to kill me last time. There's nothing she wouldn't do!"
"Now that Stephen is so badly injured, with his legs broken, do you still want to protect Sophie? You don't believe me, but do you also not believe Stephen?"
Matilda pulled Stephen into the hospital room. Stephen, lying on the hospital bed, looked at Hurley, struggled to sit up, and then revealed a big smile.
"Uncle, Mommy!"
"Stephen, honestly tell Uncle what happened at that time," Matilda stood behind Hurley.
When this matter was brought up, Stephen lowered his gaze, tightly pursing his lips.
"At that time, there was no one at home. That lady barged in and asked if I was Jake. I didn't know what she wanted with Jake, and since Jake wasn't there, I said I was."
"She said I wasn't worthy of being friends with her son and told me to stay away from her and Damon in the future." At this point, tears welled up in Stephen's eyes.
"I disagreed. That person named Damon must be a good friend of Jake, so I said we'll always be friends. Then that lady seemed really angry. She had already left, but then came back and pushed me. Uncle, I don't know what I did wrong. My leg hurts so much, Uncle..."
Stephen's tears kept falling, and Hurley took out a handkerchief. "Don't cry. Boys should be strong. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Uncle, please don't trouble that lady," Stephen pleaded.
"Hurley, don't investigate anymore. Stephen just broke his leg. He'll recover after resting for a while. If you cause trouble for Sophie, and if she gets any ideas to deal with us, what will we do?" Matilda intentionally spoke up in support of Sophie.
Hurley had his own plans in mind. "You stay with Stephen."
After speaking, Hurley prepared to leave the hospital room. Seeing him about to go, Stephen became anxious, "Uncle, Uncle, could you please stay with me? Stephen really wants Uncle."
"Jake has Daddy with her every day, but Stephen has nothing. Stephen also wants Daddy!" Stephen cried, and Hurley felt very distressed. Stephen was indeed a pitiable child.
"Then you rest. Uncle will stay here with you for a while."
"Uncle, you're so good, just like my daddy!" Stephen was very happy.
Matilda also achieved her purpose. She smiled and said, "Hurley, can you watch over Stephen for me? I'll go talk to the doctor again and see if there's anything we need to be careful about regarding Stephen's injury."
Once Matilda left the hospital room, her demeanor changed entirely.
She found Nathan and spoke up, "Uncle, please make sure to keep Stephen's condition a secret."
Nathan is currently the director of this hospital and is in the running for the position of vice president. If things go as expected, he's highly likely to secure the position of vice president.
Nathan is directly in charge of Matilda's medical care and has helped conceal many details about her health.
This time, Stephen's leg wasn't actually broken; he certainly wouldn't have willingly hurt himself so severely. However, Matilda instructed Nathan to report it as a broken leg and to prescribe a lengthy period of rest.
This was the only way she could ensure that Hurley would allocate more time to accompany her.
"Of course, we're family," Nathan replied with a smile. "I've done you such a big favor, don't forget your uncle, alright? I'll need your help again during this vice director selection process."
After all, Matilda was a big celebrity with connections and capabilities that could further enhance his position.
"No problem," Matilda agreed, and a meaningful glint flashed in her eyes as she made the promise.
