Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1212

Aaron's current situation wasn't ideal. Colin pondered for a while. "No, you can't do that forever. Besides, you shouldn't be taking care of father all the time. You need to think about yourself, Aaron. I want you to resume your studies in a school, then I'll arrange a proper university for you based on your grades."

Sophia was pretending to play with her phone. Hearing Colin's suggestion, she blurted out, "That's right, Aaron. You should go back to school."

"What about father?" Aaron didn't agree.

"I'll take care of father." Sophia replied. She could quit the SL Group and find another job in A Country, so she could stay with her father and take care of him.

It was the best solution, but Colin let out a scoff. "What about me? Do you wish to abandon me?"

Sophia felt frustrated. It was indeed her duty to take care of her husband, however nominal their marriage was.

There was a short pause before she spoke. "It would be nice for you to live on your own in Z Country, Colin. You can have more privacy without me." Colin could read between the lines, and knew what Sophia meant.

Before he could retort, Aaron interrupted them. "That's not a good idea, sister! It's settled. Sister, you will live with brother in Z Country, and I will take care of father here. Let's not talk about my studies for now. I can go back to school whenever I want to, right?" After what happened to his family, he wasn't in the mood to go back to school.

Sophia remained silent. Her brother was grown up now, and he had his own thoughts about his life. She knew she couldn't say anything to change his mind. "Okay, it depends on you. Take good care of father, Aaron. I have to go back now. The plane leaves early tomorrow morning."

"Why didn't you tell me you're taking an early flight tomorrow?" Colin looked at her expressionlessly.

Sophia averted her eyes to the windowsill. "You're too busy to know my itinerary."

Colin angrily leaned back on the sofa and didn't say another word. Aaron could sense there was something wrong between the couple. Not wanting to make things worse, he didn't ask.

Silence engulfed the ward. Only the sounds from the television set and Jay's occasional laughter broke the quiet.

Sophia also remained silent as she manicured Jay's nails and washed his feet. When she was done, she stood up and left.

Colin bid Aaron goodbye and followed Sophia out.

When they reached the outpatient department, Sophia heard a familiar voice. Stopping at the entrance, she watched the scene in front of them with indifferent eyes.

Payne was hurriedly taking Dorothy out of the car. Carrying her in his arms, he rushed into the hospital and cried out for help loudly. When they approached, Sophia found that Dorothy was bleeding.

As they walked, they left a trail of blood behind.

"Doctor! Help! Someone, please help!" Payne shouted for help, and several nurses immediately rushed over.

"What happened?" A nurse quickly asked him.

"She accidentally fell down in a shopping mall." Payne's voice trailed off when he glimpsed Sophia standing nearby. He gasped, "Sophie!"

Hearing this, Dorothy squirmed out of Payne's arms and craned her neck to get a better look. Her face was white as a sheet and her eyes flashed with hatred. Dorothy shrieked, "What are you doing here, Sophia Lo? Why are you always nearby when I'm in distress? Were you the one who brought misfortune upon me? Piss off, bitch."

Her tirade came to an abrupt halt when she saw Colin standing behind Sophia. Dorothy quickly shut her mouth.

But it was enough to irritate Sophia. Although she didn't want to kick a person when he's down, she had changed her mind. Flashing Dorothy a smile, she said, "Dorothy, do you know why did this happen to you? It's karma! Did you really believe that your Payne Tai wants a boy? Because boys are cuter? No, he doesn't think so. He just wants a son because your mother-in-law wants him to have one. In her opinion, only boys can continue Tai Clan."

Sophia felt satisfied to see Dorothy turned paler at her words. Stepping forward, she leaned closer and looked down at her from three feet away.

Compared to the pasty and drawn Dorothy, Sophia was in fine fettle. She was wearing light make-up, with her long hair simply pulled into a bun on the top of her head. Her bright eyes flashed mockingly at Dorothy and her poppy-colored lips were curved in a sardonic smile. She wore a grey long-sleeved belt coat and black high heels.

She held a limited-edition black handbag in her left hand, and her right hand was inside her coat pocket. Standing upright in front of the anxious couple, the shining diamond ring on her finger dazzled brightly.

In all these years, Payne had never seen such a glowing Sophia.
