The day Sophia departed, Colin escorted her to the airport, and didn't leave until he saw the plane take off from the runway.
At that moment, neither of them had any idea, what awaited them.
Because of Wade's Weibo update, Colin and Sophia had again become a hot topic. Many people noticed that they were together in America in the passed week.
So did Payne Tai. He couldn't wait to contact Sophia as soon as she landed.
Payne invited Sophia for dinner. After eating, almost as a routine, they booked a room in a hotel, and did what they needed to do.
But Payne noticed something weird about her behaviour. Every time, before they went to the hotel room together, Sophia would go to the bathroom, and return after a short while. He felt there was something wrong but couldn't put a finger on it.
When Sophia wasn't paying attention, Payne switched on a device, then he pressed her down to the bed.
After a night of love making, Sophia left the hotel early in the morning. Payne was still lying in bed when Dorothy called.
Driven by jealousy, Dorothy asked resentfully, "How is it going?"
Payne quickly got off the bed, and retrieved the gadget from the corner of the room. He switched it on, and had a look. Then he smirked, "We did it."
Everyday, after work, Sophia would pay a visit to her father and grandmother.
When she arrived at the hospital, she suddenly encountered an unwelcome guest.
Sophia looked warily at her, and asked, "What are you doing here?" How did she know grandma was here?
Wearing a short burgundy leather coat and carrying the latest, in-style handbag, Dorothy looked scornfully at Sophia, "I'm here to visit your grandmother."
"My grandmother doesn't want to see you. Get out!" Sophia snapped.
But Renee heard the commotion and woke up. She called out, "Sophia? Who is it?" Renee started to cough as she spoke.
Sophia hurried to her and massaged her back, "Granny, no-one is here. Have some water."
She gently fed Renee some warm water. Having drunk the water, Renee finally caught her breath.
Dorothy gazed at Renee's wrinkled face with disgust, "What? Is this hag blind?"
When she heard what Dorothy said, Sophia became irritated, "Get the hell out of here!"
Renee frowned, "Who is talking, Sophia?"
"Granny, an irritable stranger. I will show her out." Sophia tucked Renee into her quilt, and walked up to Dorothy, preparing to push her out of the room, but Dorothy side-stepped her. She strutted to the hospital bed, and said, "I'm your granddaughter's friend. Married as she is, she is having an affair with my husband. I happen to have seen them make love the other night. Come, and have a look at what a whore your baby girl is."
"Shut the fuck up!" Renee shouted to Dorothy in anger, her sightless eyes sweeping the room. Then she started to cough fiercely.
Sophia furiously stepped towards Dorothy. Pulling her across the room, she slapped her on the face, "Get the hell out of here!"
Surprised and angry, Dorothy caressed her cheek in shock, "How dare you hit me?"
"Hit you? For god's sake, you are lucky that I haven't killed you yet. Now get your ass out of here!" Sophia angrily pointed to the ward door.
"Sophia... Huh... Sophia..." Renee coughed again, as she attempted to speak.
Pushing Dorothy out of the ward, Sophia hurriedly walked back to Renee, and massaged her left breast, "Granny, she's talking rubbish. I'm faithful to my husband."
