Sophia almost blacked out. Seconds later, Jordan and Wendy pulled Colin off her.
As soon as Colin loosened his grip, she collapsed to the ground. On her knees, she coughed, "Colin... I... I didn't..."
"What happened!" So as not to disturb Harold and Angie, Jordan closed the door, and asked.
Colin's eyes swept the room. When he spotted a black suitcase near the bed, he walked towards it and opened it, retrieving a form.
It read, 'Sophia Lo, pregnant, six-weeks.'
Six weeks ago, she was in America with him. But that night when she returned, she had sex with Payne Tai.
Wendy helped Sophia to her feet. Barely standing on her own, Sophia implored, "Colin, that wasn't me...I'm not pregnant...Please believe me..."
Hearing this, Wendy and Jordan exchanged astonished looks.
"Why should I believe you?" Colin sneered, and tore the form into shreds.
"It wasn't me...That's someone else..."
"Sophia Lo, are you still trying to play dumb?" Colin's indifference faded away as he shouted in furor.
Sophia hurriedly shook her head. She approached him, and took his hand, "Colin, I didn't lie to you--"
"That's enough!" Colin pushed her away. If it weren't for Jordan's reflexes, Sophia would have hit her head on the foot of the bed.
"Colin! Calm down! Give Sophia a chance to explain!" Jordan steadied Sophia, and glared at his son.
Colin didn't want to tell his parents why he was so furious, for what Sophia had done was so shameless.
"You mean you aren't pregnant? Oh, yes, I remember that you told me a long time ago that you are infertile." Colin scoffed.
Wendy shot Sophia a horrified look. Why wasn't she aware of that?
Sophia quickly nodded, but then she shook her head and argued, "No, not really. The doctor had told me, as long as I took good care of myself, I stood a chance of becoming pregnant."
A chance she had hoped time and again would happen. Colin laughed grimly. Hadn't she told him that she would be infertile forever? He pulled her out of the room, "Come with me."
"Colin, where are you going at this late hour?!" Wendy quickly stood at the doorway, but Colin shouldered his way through, "Hospital!"
As Sophia trotted to follow, he strode downstairs and out to his car, pushing her into the passenger's seat.
Worried, Sophia suddenly realized that her period had been two-weeks late. 'What if I am pregnant?' she wondered.
But she dared not say a word. Colin drove the car at a neck-breaking speed, whilst displaying a stolid expression.
Back at the house, Wendy anxiously asked Jordan, "What has happened? Why is Colin back in the country?"
He hadn't told her that he would be back so soon. If she hadn't heard their quarrel, she wouldn't have known that he was back.
Jordan watched as the car sped off, and shook his head, "I think I need to hire someone to find out."
"Not now. We should go to the hospital. What if Colin does something to Sophia in anger?" The consequence would be unthinkable.
Jordan shook his head. "No, let them be. Colin wouldn't really harm her."
He then called a servant to clean the room.
In the Hospital.
Leaning against the wall, Colin was waiting for the result of Sophia's pregnancy test.
