Uncontrollable Fondness

Chapter 42 Sophia’s true colors (1)

After packing up several simple things Mia left with Rebecca to go back to the Brown residences. Mia

was actually relieved as soon as she sat in the car. This time she will become Sophia’s personal nurse

24 hours a day. In that case, William will not have any opportunity to have physical relations with her.

She rubbed her abdomen and her slender back leaned against the backrest. She closed her eyes and

sighed.

Rebecca sat by her side and she clutched a large phone while talking to William, “Yes Boss. I will relay

the message to Missus. Do I need to prepare some clothes for you? Book the return air ticket? A week

later? Okay, okay, I will inform your secretary, yes, yes.”

Does William have an upcoming business trip? That’s even better.

She saw the familiar large gate as they reached the Brown residence. As Mia got off the car, she was

greeted by a cold breeze and she shivered in the cold. The road led deep into the courtyard and a chill

ran down her spine. She consoled herself, “William this curse will be leaving soon, what’s there to be

worried about?”

The thought of how the kind and gentle Sophia will welcome and take care of her eased her concerns.

She calmed and braced herself and walked in.

She was brought by Rebecca to Sophia’s room. This was the second time she entered the room. The

room was predominantly pink with some blue for coordination.

Sophia was sitting on the huge princess bed. Her pale face revealed her sickness. Her nails had been

done with bright colors to make up for her condition.

Rebecca conscientiously relayed what William had instructed. Sophia smiled at Mia with a tender and

yet gloomy expression. Mia shuddered as Sophia said, “Rebecca, bring Miss Charles around to

familiarize herself with the surroundings. At the same time show her what I need daily.” She said in her

sickly and gentle voice. By now, Mia felt that she had worried too much and she was a lot more at ease

with the arrangements.

She always knew that there was another small room. That was Sophia’s temporary treatment room.

Rebecca used a key to open the door and led Mia in.

“This is Missus’s daily treatment regime. Have a close look at it and ask me if you don’t understand.

Additionally… “Rebecca threw what looked like an instructions booklet and after she went through

them, she pointed to the machines and began to explain to Mia.

She studied medicine and naturally could easily understand. She looked at the booklet as Rebecca

explained. The session took almost an hour. As they were about to leave, Rebecca suddenly walked

over to the table and pulled out a drawer full of medicine, “Remember, you need to give Missus these

medicines every day. In the drawer are those medicine currently in use and those on the table are the

expired ones. You must be clear about this. When you spot those medicine that will be expiring soon,

you’ll need to put them on the table…”

“What?” Mia stared at Rebecca’s hand in disbelief.

Rebecca wasn’t angry and patiently explained again, “Those medicine in the drawer are what Missus

needs, those on the table are expired…”

“Are you… sure?” Alarm bells rang in her head. She shook her head in disbelief, “Aren’t those on the

table the ones to be consumed?” That time Sophia clearly told her to take the medicine on the table!

Before Rebecca answered, she hastily took the second bottle from the left and checked. It had clearly

expired for a year. She took another bottle and that had expired too.

So, the last time she indeed took the expired medicine.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Did she hear wrongly or did Sophia made a mistake?

“Do you understand?!” Rebecca raised her voice and she quickly nodded. She couldn’t explain how

she felt.

Rebecca brought her out and they came to Sophia. Sophia waved to Rebecca, “You may leave.”

The two of them remained in the room.

Mia felt sick in her stomach to know that her mistake had brought so much harm to Sophia. She should

apologize since she was in the wrong.

“You must have seen clearly,” Sophia said before Mia could. Her hands held onto her abdomen and her

pretty nails complemented her pampered and chilling face, “The last time I made the error intentionally.

You must know the reason why I did it.

What… what did she say?

She was dazed, Mia looked at her with her crystalline eyes. She looked at her sickly and kind face

which actually was full of chilling hatred.

The pink lips were full of luster but the words that came out of her mouth were increasingly cold, “Mia,

didn’t you leave? Why did you come back? Why are you clinging onto William?”

“I… I didn’t!” Her heart can’t take the intense excitement. Mia had difficulty breathing and couldn’t reply

properly. She couldn’t believe her ears and kept shaking her head. She kept doubting herself if she had

made a mistake. When did the kind and gentle Sophia turn into this heartless being?

“Mia, do you think that I’m a fool? Do you really think that I’m useless? A useless woman who can allow

you to cling onto my man and yet do nothing about it?” Her sharp voice fired towards Mia. Mia could

feel a barrage of arrows flying towards her piercing every inch of her.

She didn’t have the strength to rebut and only shook her head, “It’s not like that, Mrs. Brown…”

Sophia refused to listen to any of her explanation and continued ruthlessly, “Why don’t you think clearly,

how is it that you were ovulating and yet are not pregnant? Let me tell you, I didn’t intend to let you get

pregnant! Don’t you know? What you ate had contraceptive medicine mixed in. I cannot let another

woman carry William’s child! You want to act stupid and seduce William. So, I need to teach you a

lesson and let you see the result of offending me!”

So that was the truth! So her kindness was just for the show. Mia escaped from the lion’s den and

stumbled into a snake pit. Yes, now Sophia looked like a cold and evil snake. She could use her life to

teach her a lesson! Mia broke out in cold sweat. She felt that Sophia was vicious and terrifying.

“Do you think that William didn’t kill you because he loved you? Mia, you’re so wrong. He didn’t kill you

because he wanted your bone marrow for me!”

Mia knew about this but her words ripped open a wound, it hurt like hell.

She was wrong, wrong, wrong, entirely wrong. Mia felt that she was a clown that couldn’t see the light

of day. Suddenly she was dragged in front to be scolded and ridiculed.

She doesn’t have any other thoughts except to leave. She wanted to cover herself up! Her eyes were

already full of tears of shame. She shook her head while blaming herself, “Sorry, sorry, sorry, I’ll leave,

I’m willing to leave, I’m sorry…”

“Leave?” Ha!” She laughed coldly. By now Sophia was unrecognizable, “Impossible!”

Another cold scoff, Sophia increased the intensity of her verbal assault, “You want to leave and then let

William think that it was me who forced you away? Mia, don’t be naive. William will not care if you left!

But if you leave, I won’t have my bone marrow. I think even if you turn to ashes, he will have the means

to turn you back to a person!”

Yes, he had his ways. William had various means of letting her have a fate worst than death. Now she

had to stay here and face their abuse. Mia has tasted William’s ruthlessness and doesn’t doubt Sophia

one bit.

Sophia had vented sufficiently and looked victoriously over Mia who had collapsed and trembling on

the floor. She got off the bed and walked over slowly like a patient. She looked down at Mia like falcons

eyeing a prey from above.

She slowly squatted down and lifted her chin high and glared at her threateningly, “Don’t ever try to tell

William about this. You are nothing to him. He will believe me unconditionally! I won’t be responsible for

anything that may happen. Also, attend to me properly and preserve yourself! Once the bone marrow

transplant is complete, I will give you some money to guarantee your subsistence!”

She doesn’t want money! She only wants to leave this humiliation. Mia was choking and in shame but

couldn’t say a word.

Sophia walked back to the bed and sat down. She was back to her weak and gentle voice but she

reminded Mia coldly, “Remember, if you ever dare to climb onto William’s bed, I’ll break your leg!”

Mia was kicked from one hell to another hell, she couldn’t see any glimmer of hope. When no one was

around, Sophia repeatedly tortured her preventing her from sleeping. When someone was around,

she’ll become that weak and kind person, pretending to be very nice to her.

Another night that Mia could hardly sleep. Sophia placed a bed in her room but only allowed her to rest

on a chair. How could she be comfortable in that narrow chair? It was very tedious when Sophia’s

condition acted up. Every three minutes she would want someone to serve her and Mia had to run

around the entire night. Her legs were already soft and her eyes bloodshot.

Sophia gave her a break and let her out but it was after breakfast.

She instructed Rebecca to send two portions of breakfast to the room and she made Mia look on as

she ate and then ordered her to pour away her portion into the toilet.

She had endured these for three days.

She was famished. Sophia did this to her and she practically didn’t eat for three days. She was already

very thin. Sophia’s means of torturing her was on par with William’s punishments. She sighed to

herself, “no wonder they could become husband and wife.”

Mia came to the yard with a medicine container in her hands. There was a briquette furnace and her

task was to warm up Sophia’s medicine.

She sat on a stool and very soon she started to nod asleep.

“Hey, what are you doing, can’t you see that the medicine is dripping out!” A shrill voice rang out which

woke Mia. She saw a man and woman standing in front of her.

Both the man and woman dressed very well and definitely were people with status and stature. They

looked very familiar. Mia was so hungry that it affected her mentally. Finally, she saw the man’s grey

hair and remembered Teddy Hans and Mindy Sails. The most famous philanthropists of Huntington

City. Mia had nothing but respect for them.
