Drenched in Love

Chapter 111: A Possible Love Show

Sophia was extremely thirsty and by grasping Stephen’s hand, she drunk up the whole glass of water.

Thirsty still, “Some more.” she said.

Stephen stood up again to bring another glass of water for her. He went back, putting his arm around

her waist, and brought the water close to her mouth. Until then, Sophia saw clearly who the man that

had brought her the water.

Sophia was stiffly shocked, and unconsciously tried to escape from Stephen’s arms, and said, “Terribly

sorry, Mr. Berry. I don’t know it was you. I ……” If she would have known that it was Stephen near her

bed, she would rather die than have him brought the water.

Stephen frowned, and clutched her body back, making her tightly in his arms. He passed the water with

another hand to her mouth and said, “Aren’t you thirsty? Drink it! How dry your lips are!”

Having been forced to drink up a glass of water, Sophia totally waked up. She thought about the things

that had happened yesterday, and it was Stephen who brought her back in the rain. She thought in her

mind, “Thank you, Mr. Berry.”

Stephen put the glass on the table and thought, “What a stupid woman! Didn’t she know that she could

call someone for help when the car was broken?” If he had not come, her brain would have already

been burnt to a fool now by sitting in the car for an entire night with a fever.

No sooner had he thought about it than he asked her, and he regretted asking. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Sophia shuddered, looking down and explained, “Mr. Berry, I called you several times, but you did not

answer.” She stopped for a while and then continued, “My phone was not in credit, so I used the

landline in the nearby shop.”

It then occurred to Stephen that the unknown phone call was from her. At that time, he was in a hurry to

seek for Sophia, and just ignored the unimportant call he thought. How could she……

Stephen’s heart trembled and his eyes turned to be milder and adoring when looking at Sophia.

Sophia’s heart was shuddered by his tender eyes, and could not help but think, “Should he be in love

with me?”

Having drunken up another glass of water and eaten half bowl of egg & pork congee, Sophia slept

again. Stephen approved to give her a day-off today. Her body was sore and she did not guess

anymore about Stephen’s idea on her. Soon she was asleep.

By noontime, Sophia had a fever again.

Having stayed in prison for five years, she was much weaker than before. Out of prison, she was upset

for several times and even committed suicide once. Due to the fragile body, it was much difficult to

recover from a serious illness.

It was raining outside, and Stephen just called Doctor Joe to come back again.

Doctor Joe did not want to go back again. He said in the telephone, “Since she has fever again, you

can just give her some anti-fever medicine. She will be better after taking the medicine. You’d better not

to give her fever-reducing injection, because it was harmful for her body if taken too much.”

Stephen ignored his words and said directly, “I will give you half an hour to be here! Or I will go and

bring you here myself!”

Doctor Joe was coerced to come. Faced with Stephen, he gave the anti-fever medicine to him. “Take it

for her, and I will be here. Hope this is what you want.” The doctor said.

Stephen glanced at her and then put the medicine into Sophia’s mouth.

The medicine could not be swallowed as Sophia was badly ill. Even though Stephen opened her mouth

by force, all the fed medicine was out of her mouth.

Stephen frowned and looked towards Doctor Joe. Doctor Joe could not help but said, “The medicine

must be taken. She has really a high fever. If not taken, her brain would be burnt!”

Stephen gave Doctor Joe a black look. Looking at Sophia’s red face, his mouth was set in a grim line.

Doctor Joe looked at his face of reproach for a moment and then wanted to tell him that he could use

the needle to feed the medicine. Before he was speaking out, he saw that Stephen had taken a

mouthful medicine and then spat it into Sophia’s mouth.

Doctor Joe was stunned and immediately stop his idea when he saw Stephen’s way of giving the

medicine. “Probably they are showing love, why should I interrupt them.?” He thought.

All the medicine was finally given successfully. Stephen sighed and placed the glass on the nightstand.

Just a short while, Stephen heard the sound of vomiting. Sophia lied from a flat position to a side

position and all the medicine had been out of her mouth, puking all on Stephen’s white suit pants.

Doctor Joe could not help laughing.

Stephen glanced with his cold and sharp eyes. Doctor Joe then stopped his laugh.

“She vomited all!” Stephen said while looking at Doctor Joe. Obviously, he was asking him what they

should do now.

Doctor Joe took out a bag of medicine from his cabinet to Hannah and said, “It is electrolyte. Dissolve it

with 250L water and then bring it here.” He then turned to Stephen, “Miss Carter vomited because she

had a badly high fever. But even though she vomits again, we should give her the medicine and the

water in case of dehydration. You can feed the electrolyte that I told Hannah to bring little by little.”

“It doesn’t matter if she vomits, and even though, you should feed this. You can give it little by several

times. But you have to give it to her, because if she is dehydrated, that would be really dangerous.”

Hannah brought the dissolved electrolyte and Stephen took it from her hands.

“Sir, let me feed it. Your suits are wet and you should change them. I have already served the porridge

on the table. You can have it.”

Stephen insisted and took the water from Hannah’s hands, and said, “I can do it myself. Leave me

alone.”

Repeated feeding and vomiting until night, Sophia finally drunk up all the 250l electrolyte, and the high

fever was brought down.

Caressing Sophia’s cold and moist forehead, and looking at her gradual normal face, Stephen breathed

a sigh of relief.

“Sir, you haven’t rested for the whole day and night. Please go upstairs and have a rest. I am here for

Miss Carter.” Hannah persuaded.

“Alright.” Stephen answered but his body did not move an inch. He was sitting on the bedside and

looking at Sophia asleep. It was an already-known face, but he still could not stop looking at her.

Stephen looked at her for a moment and then slowly stretched out his hand. He pushed her hair that

had been wet by sweat away, revealing a bright and clean forehead.

His fingertip was cold, so as Sophia’s forehead. The sense of coldness seemed to appeal him, making

his hands move from her forehead slowly to her cheek.

When his fingertip touched the corner of her eyes, Sophia suddenly opened her eyes, which were dark

and bright without any tiredness.

Stephen’s fingertip quivered and he took it back immediately.
