Sophie smiled. “Yes. Although using this term between husband and wife is strange, it’s indeed. quite fitting.”
Roger remained silent, lowering his head to drink water.
Sophie’s gaze couldn’t help but shift to the window. “I wonder how things are going on the Bourn family’s side.”
Although Laura’s injury was minor, her wound wasn’t healing, and she would definitely need a blood transfusion.
“Her situation has nothing to do with you anymore.” Seeing that Sophie still had some softness, Roger coldly stopped her thoughts.
Sophie sighed bitterly. “I know. This is what I’ve always wanted, but we are humans. Who can be without feelings? Despite Laura being hateful, I also want her to keep alive.”
Seeing Sophie’s concern, Roger thought for a moment before saying. “As long as you want, I can try to contact the blood bank for them.”
Sophie was momentarily speechless. She didn’t expect Roger to see through her thoughts. However, based solely on her own wishes, she couldn’t do this on her own. Because in a wealthy place like Habourland, there were too many people who could get things done with money. Connections and power were the keys.
Over the years, she hadn’t been able to escape from the Bourn family because she knew that even if she had the money to escape, she wouldn’t have the ability to ensure her safety. Moreover, revealing her wealth could harm her security. While Roger was blind, he was precisely the person with wealth and connections.
“Should I offer help?” Seeing her silence, Roger thought she was hesitating.
Sophie took a deep breath and finally said, “Yes. As Rebecca said, they did raise me for so many years. I’ll consider it as repaying their parental kindness for the last time. I will repay this favor to you sooner or later.”
Roger elegantly shook his head and said, “We’re husband and wife. What is there to talk about repaying kindness? I can help them. Consider it a reward for them bringing you to me.”
His eyes, for some reason, seemed somewhat profound. His words were so gentle that they warmed her heart.
Roger actually thought her coming to him was a good thing. And he wanted to repay the Bourn family for it. Maybe he really thought so. Unexplainably, Sophie felt a bit happy. It seemed like the first time someone thought that her arrival was not a burden but a sweetness.

Without saying more, Roger picked up the phone and called Dillon to help find a blood bank.

After hanging up, Roger said, “Don’t worry.
We’ll get
it.”
Sophie smiled. “Just do your best. Whether there’s blood or not, it’s Laura’s fate… She could have stood by, and now she had done her utmost.
“True.” Roger smiled, took a sip of water, and asked, “Do you want a cup of coffee?”
“Sure.” She was getting used to enjoying quiet moments with him now.
However, in the hospital, things were not going well for the Bourn family.
Since Laura entered the emergency room, Russell and Ursa had been on the verge of collapse. Because Laura’s bleeding was just as they expected, it couldn’t be stopped, and it took half an hour to barely control the bleeding. However, Laura had lost too much blood and had fallen into a coma.
Without Sophie, they couldn’t directly give blood to Laura. Russell was desperate. He contacted various blood banks but cursed when he found that there was no Rh–negative trait available. After all, there was a perennial shortage of this blood group, and he knew it. Now, he could only call others to contact other blood banks.
Seeing he was about to continue making calls, Ursa was on the brink of collapse. “Why were you so spineless just now? If you had forcibly brought Sophie here, Laura could be saved now.”
“Are you crazy? Didn’t you see Roger’s attitude? He protected Sophie so much. Do you think we can succeed if we clash with him?”
“So what if he can protect Sophie? He’s just blind! Can’t you beat him?” Ursa looked at Russell as if he were a coward.
insane? Do
Russell couldn’t take it anymore and said urgently, “Are you you see Roger was Norman’s most beloved grandson before he went blind? Even if he’s blind, he still has the ability to deal with us! If I really have a conflict with Roger, the entire Bourn family will be finished. By then, who will pay for Laura’s medical expenses? You?”
Scolded by Russell, Ursa finally sobered up a bit. Offending the Nicholls family would indeed have serious consequences. She asked, “What can we do now? If we can’t find blood, won’t we have to call her here? Should you call her to win her sympathy?”
It had been Russell who had protected Sophie all these years, and at home, even if Sophie had been disrespectful to both Ursa and Laura, she would have listened to Russell once in a while. Perhaps Sophie would not be so unsympathetic to him at the moment.
Russell mocked with a smile, “When I carried Laura out earlier, what were you doing? You even forced her to come and give blood. Do you think she will come even if we ask her now? Ursa, with your lousy tactics, I told you to shut up before. Did you listen? Now, you want me to clean up the

trouble for you? Dream on!” He ignored Ursa and turned around to continue making calls.
Ursa couldn’t help but feel extremely wronged. “Why are you shouting at me? I’m doing this for our daughter!”
The two of them kept shouting in the hallway.
Dillon walked over with a gloomy expression. He didn’t understand why Roger asked him to help such a couple. At this point, they were still thinking about getting Sophie to donate blood. However, since he was here, he could only obey orders.
Taking a few steps forward, he coldly said, “Mr. Russell, right?”
When called by name, Russell was stunned and immediately put down the phone, saying, “Yes, you
are….
Dillon coldly responded, “Mr. Roger asked me to come and deliver plasma.” With that, he handed at thermos box to Russell.
“Plasma?” Russell was momentarily stunned. “Are you Roger’s man?”
Seeing he wasn’t clueless, Dillon responded coldly, “Yes. This is the plasma that matches Miss Bourn’s blood type. Mr. Roger had me contact all the blood banks and medical laboratories in Habourland to get this much. Please cherish its use.”

Upon hearing that it was his daughter’s life–saving plasma, Russell immediately took it, but he was still dazed. “But why would Mr. Roger help me?”
Ursa couldn’t help but ‘pat Russell. “Why are you asking the reason? He must feel guilty! Consider him having a bit of a conscience. Give Laura a blood transfusion!” Saying this, Ursa grabbed the
thermos box.
Seeing her attitude, Dillon couldn’t help but snort and convey Roger’s words. He said, “Mr. Roger said that this is to thank you for bringing Sophie to him and he returned the favor to you, but only this once. This is not a precedent. Please don’t think about his wife in the future. Otherwise, I guarantee that you won’t find plasma that Miss Bourn can use even if you search the entire country…”
