Drenched in Love novel Chapter 39

As the bedroom’s door opened, Hazel entered with a glass of water in her hand.

After taking the medicine, Hazel could not help but ask, “Sophia, what is the matter? Why are you sitting in the street?”

Why she she sitting in the street?

Sophia pressed her lips, fell into silence for a moment and shook her head, “Nothing. My house was on fire.”

Sophia did not tell the truth, at least not all the truth, because she had a lot of bruises and red palm marks on face. She did not want to mention it and Hazel did not ask.

Hazel could guess her situation, so let her temporarily live here. Sophia refused, Hazel said, “I live alone and I am afraid. Stay with me.”

Sophia was very grateful.

Sophia lived with Hazel. When Hazel went to work, she cleaned the house, washed clothes, and then went to find a job. She was not sure if Vincent refused to let go of her, she failed to find a job after three days. Even no one wanted to her wash plates.

On the third day, Hazel came back with pizza.

“Sophia, come for the pizza! It is from my favorite store!”

Sophia and Hazel sat on the sofa to eat pizza and watch TV happily. When they were enjoying, there was a violent knock at the door.

The Hazel grumbled in discontent, “Who is it?” As she said this, she put on her slippers and opened the door.

Sophia continued to sit on the sofa and watch TV. Soon, Hazel's voice came from the door, “What are you doing?!”

“Where's Emmanuel Hawkins? Emmanuel, come out!” The speaker's tone was not good.

Sophia frowned and walked over wearing slippers. Six people were to rush in with sticks. Hazel could not stop that but keep back.

Hazel’s surname was Hawkins and her full name was Hazel Hawkins, Emmanuel Hawkins was her twin brother.

“My brother is not here. What do you want with my brother?!”

“Not here?”

The bearded man in the lead waved his hand, and the men behind immediately rushed in and started rummaging. Hazel's house was small with only one room and one living room, soon they had rumbled through, but nothing was found.

“Since your brother is not here, you come with us!”

Two people caught Hazel's arm, Hazel shouted, “Who are you? Why are you looking for my brother? What has my brother done to you?!”

“Hum! Your brother stole our boss's woman! We will find him and get rid of him!” A man with a beard stretched out his hand to raise Hazel's chin, “You look pretty, I will take you back to our boss, taking it as interest for Emmanuel!”

“You can't take her away!” Sophia blocked in front of Hazel, “You are breaking the law! I'll call the police to arrest you!”
