Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1139

Colin looked at the sleeping Sophia. She had a lovely face. But her indifference bothered him.

Was it because she had been in prison for one and a half years? Had her time made her indifferent?

He lifted her left hand that had been resting on her abdomen. A thin layer of gauze was wrapped around her wrist, and her fingertips were covered in red burns.

Colin wondered whether he would have liked Sophia had they not been forced into this marriage.

And the answer was obvious: No.

To him, she seemed to be angry and in search of revenge.

Not only that, during her time at his company, he knew that she had been hesitant to interact with her colleagues.

She was not bad at socializing, just unwilling.

She was very serious about her work, studious, and keen to take advice from others.

He knew she worked hard because she wanted to be stronger, more powerful. She was ambitious.

In doing so, she would have the means to match, if not defeat her enemies.

......

Colin wasn't drawn to her strength and attitude. He hoped his future partner would be simple and obedient.

When he left, he told the nurse to watch the time and remember to change Sophia's IV drip.

At four o' clock, Sophia finally woke. Since she had missed lunch, she felt ravenous.

She looked around, and saw that her room was empty. Colin had left.

On the table next to her bed, lay three empty IV bottles.

As she sat up in bed, a nurse walked in and said, "Miss Lo, you're awake."

"Yes, thank you. I'm leaving the hospital now."

"Sure, you can leave if you're feeling better. There's food in the microwave. Others brought you lunch at noon. You should eat something before you go!" The nurse pointed at the microwave nearby.

Sophia was too hungry to think about who had brought her lunch. She was so hungry, she didn't want to refuse the meal, "Okay, thank you. I will eat first."

"You are welcome, Miss Lo. If you are feeling better now, I'll take my leave."

"Okay, bye."

When Sophia returned to the villa after checking out from the hospital, Wendy was not home. Colin had asked the servants to show her around Country Z.

Back in her room, Sophia switched on her computer and stared at the contract between SL group and Lien's company. She couldn't focus. She stared at the screen absent-mindedly.

After a while, she closed the contract and opened her mailbox.

She stared at the email from Colin.

Miss Lo, tomorrow evening, room 606, 66th floor, Imperial Palace hotel. Lien's contract is a must. We can't afford any mistakes.

Sophia closed the mail and sneered.

Lien's contract was not a big thing. It was a small matter.

He could have sent it to any of the other secretaries. However, Colin chose her for the assignment because he knew of her past relationship with Lien's Vice-President.

He must not think very highly of her. Did he think she would leave when presented with challenging situations?

Leaving business aside, she was Colin's wife, and Payne was her ex-boyfriend. Did Colin set this up so that she would have to face her ex-boyfriend?

Colin must hate her more than she had imagined.
