Chapter 193 The Feeling That Makes One Unable to Move
Head of Research Team Three at Oasis University.
Representing the Lumina Group in collaboration with Oasis University's research team.
And that thick stack of certificates... Everything pointed to Sophia's extraordinary background.
Benjamin's eyes lowered slightly as his thumb gently caressed her cheek, his movements incredibly tender, as if afraid to disturb someone in their sleep.
What else don't I know about you?
Benjamin held Sophia with one arm while his other hand kept scrolling down the screen, rapidly scanning through the comments on his phone.
Benjamin's gaze suddenly stopped at a particular comment.
"Is no one paying attention to how she looks? Both excellent and beautiful, I'm instantly in love."
"Sophia is so beautiful. Do you need a husband? I think I could be the one."
Husband?
I'm her husband!
Benjamin let out a cold laugh and typed a comment on his phone screen with one hand, then hit send.
the White Group Benjamin: "She's my wife. Don't even think about it."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Seeing Benjamin's account name, they couldn't help but pause, instinctively clicking on his profile picture, only to discover with amazement...
This really was Sophia's husband!
"He's jealous, isn't he?"
"Benjamin's words are so domineering, I love it!"
"Benjamin replied to me! I'm so happy! Benjamin, I used to be your fan because of your looks, but now I've fallen for someone else - your wife is so beautiful!"
"I wonder if everyone remembers when someone insulted Sophia before, saying she wasn't good enough for Benjamin! Now I'm asking, who exactly isn't good enough for whom!"
"Benjamin and Sophia standing together look perfect! I wish you'd get married on the spot. Wait, I forgot - you're already married. Then never separate for the rest of your lives!"
Benjamin remained expressionless on the surface, showing no emotion, but inside he was secretly celebrating.
Celebrating that he had acted decisively and brought her home early.
Sophia was truly captivating when she showed her charm.
There were so many comments online praising Sophia.
Some people were even calling her their wife!
So what? He was the only one who could truly have her.
As for those people online, they could only watch.
Sophia was really exhausted. After being busy all day, she fell into a drowsy sleep.
While sleeping, Sophia suddenly felt she couldn't breathe properly and almost suffocated. She opened her eyes abruptly, only to meet a pair of deep eyes.
Those profound eyes were filled with intense desire, making her pause, unable to tell for a moment whether this was reality or a dream.
Benjamin noticed Sophia had woken up and slowly released her lips, his face showing the awkwardness of being caught.
"What are you doing?"
"Kissing you." Benjamin's voice was low and husky, laced with thick desire.
His clothes had somehow been pulled open, with the top two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing his delicate collarbone and sexy chest.
Sophia's gaze moved downward, landing on Benjamin's chest. As if burned, she quickly looked away.
Benjamin and Sophia had been married for so long but hadn't actually had sex yet.
Before, it was because Benjamin's health wasn't good.
Now, it was because the poison in her body hadn't been completely cleared. She worried that if she accidentally got pregnant, the poison might transfer to the child.
Even though Sophia was a doctor, she couldn't completely guarantee this wouldn't happen.
Benjamin had always been very restrained and had never seemed to lose control like this before.
Well, there had been a few times, but very rarely.
Sophia silently added in her mind.
Benjamin was caught off guard by the question. He cleared his throat lightly and slowly lowered his eyes, not daring to look into Sophia's eyes.
"Did I wake you? I'm sorry." He just couldn't control himself.
For over twenty years, Benjamin had never dared to easily pursue a relationship because of the prediction that he wouldn't live past twenty-five.
Moreover, he had no interest in other women at all.
So he had never even thought about making love with a woman.
But as Sophia's body developed more and more, he was no longer satisfied with just holding her while sleeping.
He wanted to kiss her, wanted to be under the covers with her, thinking of nothing else, with only each other in their eyes and bodies.
Sophia was still groggy, not fully awake from her dream. She yawned and slowly shook her head. "It's okay. Is it already light out? I should get up."
"Sleep a bit more. You only slept three hours last night."
By the time they got back to the hotel, it was already 4 a.m. The roads here were very remote and rough.
Fortunately, the car's performance was good, so Sophia wasn't jostled awake while driving.
The fatigue hadn't left Sophia's face. Benjamin reached out and gently stroked her fair, delicate cheek with affection, then leaned in to kiss her lips again.
Sophia shook her head and pushed Benjamin's shoulder, sitting up in bed. "I can't sleep anymore. I have to go to the hospital today!"
There were still many patients at the hospital waiting for her.
And in some remote small mountain villages that had suffered severe disasters, people couldn't get to the hospital, so doctors had to be sent there.
Sophia had already arranged for people to deliver supplies yesterday.
The heavy rain had stopped, but many houses had collapsed. The drainage here wasn't very good, and there was still a layer of water on the roads that cars had to wade through.
Benjamin had no choice but to get out of bed with Sophia, though his expression was somewhat unhappy.
What did those people's lives and deaths have to do with them?
Benjamin felt sorry for Sophia and didn't want her to work so hard, but he knew clearly that Sophia wouldn't ignore those patients.
She had always been like this - kind and pure, no matter how much ill will others showed her.
As long as they didn't cross her bottom line, she wouldn't care.
Just like those patients at the hospital yesterday who hadn't trusted her medical skills before and even said mocking things.
But Sophia still upheld her ethics as a doctor and treated them one by one.
After a quick wash, Sophia changed into clothes convenient for moving around, put on a pair of black canvas shoes, and walked out of the bathroom.
Benjamin had already changed his clothes.
To match Sophia better, he had specially changed out of his suit and put on a simple, low-key casual outfit.
Benjamin had a tall figure and handsome features. After changing into casual wear, his powerful and cold aura instantly dissipated quite a bit, no longer as distant as before.
Looking at Benjamin's outfit, Sophia's eyes couldn't help but brighten. "I didn't expect you'd have such a different flavor in this outfit!"
"What flavor?"
Sophia tilted her head and thought for a moment, her gaze lingering on Benjamin's chest for an instant, as if trying to see through the casual wear to the well-defined abs and sexy body underneath.
"The kind of flavor that makes people unable to walk away."
