Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 160

The blanket was pulled off Sophia, exposing her to the light. She was trembling.

"Sophie..." A gentle voice came, but it wasn't the voice that could ease the despair in her heart.

Hugh pulled the blanket down, revealing her pale face and closed eyes. "Sophie, I'm here."

He pulled the distressed woman into his arms. Sophia didn't push him away, she was in desperate need of a warm embrace.

She needed to know that there are still people who cared for her...

"Hugh..." The simple word cost Sophia all her strength. "My child... is dead..."

Hugh already knew. Seeing Sophia suffer made his heart ache. He cupped her cheek with his hand. "Sophie, it will be alright. You'll have more children in the future."

Sophia shook her head. No, she wouldn't. It was her child with Colin, her last hope... She would no longer bear Colin's child...

In the afternoon, Sophia asked to see her baby.

Not long after, a nurse carried a little bundle to her.

Her small baby, whose face and lips were blue, had his eyes closed.

Sophia nearly went mad at the sight. She reached out her trembling hands to take the lifeless baby from the nurse's arms, hugging and murmuring affectionately,"I'm so sorry little one, I'm so sorry... My precious baby... Mom loves you very much..."

Sophia sat there for over half an hour, holding the bundle tightly, unwilling to let go.

After a long time, the worried doctors managed to coax Sophia to let go.

Sophia was very weak. When her child was taken away, sleep quickly took over. Someone entered the ward, and Hugh stood up to greet them.

Hugh greeted,"Aunt Sandra."

"Hugh, it's good to see you! How's Sophia?" Sandra laid her worried eyes on Sophia, who was frowning with her eyes closed.

Hugh shook his head. Sophia wasn't doing well. After the death of her child, she seemed to have lost the will to live.

June walked up to Sophia's bed, and placed the supplements she brought on the bedside table. She whispered quietly,"Sophie, I'm your cousin June. I've come to see you."

Sophia didn't respond, but June didn't mind. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, she took Sophia's hands into hers. "Don't feel bad. You still have us. We've successfully persuaded the elders in our family. You can stay with us when you get discharged."

At the words, Sophia slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the elegant woman in a daze, and pulled her hands back with all her strength. She shook her head as she mumbled,"No, I can't... I'm a pathetic disaster... I bring misfortune to everyone good to me. Go away! Leave!"

Sophia went under the blankets and started trembling again.

It wasn't the first time it happened. The three looked at Sophia in distress.

Hugh suddenly told Sandra,"I need to go out for a while."

Still distressed, Sandra nodded distractedly. She didn't pay attention as Hugh left.

June tried to talk to Sophia. "Sophie, I'm your cousin. We share grandparents, uncles, and aunts. Confinement after childbirth is very important for a woman. If you don't take care of yourself during this time, you'll suffer from the lingering effects of the chronic disease for the rest of your life. What's worse, you may also lose the ability to give birth in the future..."

June's words made Sophia calm down a little despite her shock. She remembered that June couldn't have children. How much courage did it take for her to comfort Sophia this way?

When Sophia turned to her, she found June smiling at her. Despite the fact that she couldn't have children, June's smile was so warm.
