Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 403: Chapter 403

"You are too optimistic. Even if you scatter my ashes, I am not going to die!"
Are you still playing the fleeing lovebirds, Hurley, stop cursing her at this point!
Sophie rested for a couple of hours and got back some of her strength.
She still had a lot of work to do. In addition to the work in the lab, she had to visit her grandfather to explain the whole thing to him.
But it was getting late, and her grandfather might have already gone to bed.
She looked at her phone. Amy had sent her a message as well, pointing out some new results from the experiment.
There seemed to be a breakthrough!
Sophie stood up. "I'm going back."
Hurley grabbed her. "It's late. Rest for the night. I'll take you in the morning."
"No need. You rest well. Don't forget that you promised me after dinner that you would let Jake and Anabel stay with me for a couple of more days."
"I only promised that I would let Jake and Anabel stay with you, not that I would extend their stay."
"Are you going back on your word,Mr. Walton?"
"You know that I am a businessman. I don't make deals I lose. How about this: Jake and Anabel will stay with you, and in return, Damon will come and stay with me. That's fair, right?"
Hurley smiled with his familiar calm and calculating expression on his face.
"That's impossible." There was no way in hell she was going to let Damon stay alone with Hurley.
"Then it has to be the two of us living together."
"No way!" How could she be a roommate with Hurley?
"Then there will be no room for negotiation. My stomach is really uncomfortable, and I am not feeling very well. I need someone to take care of me personally. In my opinion, Jake should be the one to take care of his daddy." Hurley pretended to be in pain.
Pretending to be sick worked well sometimes.
"All right, all right, I can come, but I've been very busy lately. I can't guarantee when I'll come."
"Fine." Hurley agreed.
"We agreed that we'd just eat with you and then let Jake and Anabel stay with Damon, so this doesn't include tonight. I have to take care of something, so I'll go first."
Hurley didn't stop her either. He knew Sophie's temper and he had to take things one step at a time.
After Sophie left, Hurley looked at the many dishes still in front of him and could not help but smile.
Despite his poor skills at cooking, Sophie ate more of what he made than any cook would make without complaining.
He finally understood what they said on the Internet - to see other people enjoying the food he had cooked was indeed a moment of happiness.
He would have to study more recipes and practice cooking more in the next few days, and strive to make more delicious dishes so that Sophie would be able to see his progress the next time she tasted them!
After a meal and a dose of antacid, Hurley's stomach was feeling a lot better.
Just as he was about to return to work, he received a call from a hospital in Tbilisi.
"Mr. Walton, Mrs. Walton's condition here seems quite adverse."
"What happened?"
Hadn't she been recovering from the organ transplant?
"Tonight, Mrs. Walton suddenly experienced shortness of breath, and the hospital had to perform emergency treatment again. They are saying that they will have to keep her under observation."
The person on the other end of the phone was explaining the situation to Hurley.
Right now, it's just an observation, but they'll have to wait and see what happens.
The last time it was done by Maya herself, and since Maya is in the capital right now, there shouldn't be any problems.
Hurley couldn't be in a hurry at the moment, so he could only instruct them to report back to him immediately on any developments.
After Hurley's departure, Sophie's first stop was the lab. Amy was quick to hand over the research data to Sophie, her excitement hard to hide in her tone.
"These few mice seem to be doing quite well at the moment, and show no signs of deterioration at all. If we can hold on to them for a bit longer, then it is a sign that our treatment method is truly effective!"
Night has endured for so long. It's time for a positive outcome!
Sophie took out one of the mice, then she went into the lab and locked herself in until the morning. The mice's body functions were on the way back to normal, but more experiments and observations were necessary.
Sophie had to go home for a while, so she had to entrust the matter to Amy.
"Night, you've been holding on for so long, go and get some rest." Amy was worried that Night's body wouldn't be able to hold out. How could a normal person be able to endure this? How long has it been since she last slept? Even a god would have problems with such endurance!
"I rested for a while yesterday, so I'm not tired right now. No worries, I'm a doctor, I'm more familiar with my own body than anyone else."
"I'll go first. Take care of yourself. If you can't handle it, let someone else take over for you."
There were other people on the research base as well.
Amy nodded, and it was only then that Sophie left for the home of the Hades family.
Early in the morning, the old man woke up with the three children beside him, which made him very happy.
He was very fond of these three children. They were the flesh and blood of the Hades family.
Especially Jake, who was so obedient and so reasonable, and who knew a lot of things. No matter if it was about business or other things, Jake could understand and say a few words, he was definitely a very promising talent in the business world.
Anabel was there. She may not do anything or be able to say anything, but being there made the old man very happy, and among the three children, Anabel was the one that he cherished the most.
When Sophie came back and saw this scene, she stood there for a long time and looked at it.
She wanted to tell her grandfather about it and bring the children to him, but she didn't expect that this time the secret would be revealed by accident.
After playing with the children for a while, the butler came and told him that breakfast was ready.
The old man had breakfast with the children, and then Sophie came into view.
"Grandpa," Sophie said.
The old man's expression changed drastically, just a moment ago he was smiling broadly, but when he saw Sophie, the smile immediately disappeared from his face.
"Why did you come back? Weren't you kidnapped by that Walton guy?"
"How could that possibly be the case?"
The old man snorted coldly. "You're on Hurley's side. With whom did you dine last night and where did you stay?"
Sophie hesitated.
"Grandpa, I've already discussed this with Hurley. If you like Jake and Anabel, you can let them stay here for a while."
Sophie explained briefly to the old man, trying to make him understand that what happened with Hurley wasn't what the old man thought it was. She hadn't even known about Jake and Anabel before and had only heard about them recently.
But obviously the old man didn't believe her.
"If you want to be with Hurley, Grandpa will never be in favor of it!"
"Grandpa, you're wrong. I don't want to be with Hurley."
"Really?"
Sophie nodded. "Really!"
It was at that moment that the old man pulled out a photo. "Then look at this. It's Grandpa's friend's grandson. Grandpa has already made arrangements for the two of you to meet and get to know each other. The boy is quite nice; maybe you'll like him."
Sophie remained silent.
