Colin patted Sophia's back soothingly. "Laugh all you want. I never thought I'd meet such a foolish woman who ends up coughing from trying not to laugh!"
"Don't talk to me. I'm still angry with you." Said Sophia as she closed her eyes. She didn't want to look at him anymore.
The corners of Colin's lips lifted. "Sophia, I want to..."
"Yes?" Her curiosity got the better of her, and she opened eyes to look at him.
Colin was suddenly inches away from her face. "I want to kiss you."
As soon as he spoke, Sophia's lips were sealed.
She moaned involuntarily. No! Her illness could infect him!
Although she pushed him away with all her strength, Colin stayed in place and continued kissing her.
Soon, Sophia nestled comfortably in Colin's strong arms. At the same time, Colin made a pun, "Sophia, don't try to push me away. You can't do it!"
Whether she loved him or not, he would do everything to make her stay with him.
If she fell in love with another man, he would get rid of that person using whatever means necessary.
"Colin li." Sophia sighed.
"I'm here." Colin took her hands.
Sophia's heart softened at his simple words. He was here with her right now. It made her feel good.
"Colin, I want a child... A child of our own." Sophia said softly. Her right hand was connected to the IV drip. She used her left hand to caress his handsome face as she looked at him fondly. "Do you have a way to prevent our child from becoming a bastard?" she asked.
She nearly begged him not to marry Dorothy. But she couldn't say that.
If he could give up his marriage with Dorothy on his own, she wouldn't have to break up his wedding. But she really didn't want Colin to see what kind of horrible woman she was.
The only response Sophia got was a passionate kiss.
After a long time, Colin finally released Sophia. Panting slightly, he told her, "I won't let our child become illegitimate. Please believe me. Can you do that?"
Sophia hesitated. He was going to marry Dorothy. How could he keep his promise to her?
What did he mean? Sophia couldn't understood Colin at all. She asked him directly, "If I get pregnant, would you divorce Dorothy?"
Colin smiled and kissed Sophia's forehead. "No." he answered.
He didn't elaborate further.
Colin's behavior depressed Sophia again. She wasn't just depressed. She was angry.
Not wanting to pay him any attention, she closed her eyes.
Colin kissed her forehead again. He said in a low voice, "Recover quickly and I'll make your wish come true."
Sophia didn't open her eyes. But her cheeks flushed crimson showed that she had heard Colin's words clearly.
She didn't know what time she fell asleep, but she didn't wake up until the sun rose.
In the morning, Sophia felt much better when she opened her eyes. Then she heard a deep voice beside her. "Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Colin placed his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.
Sophia shook her head, "I'm fine... No, I'm not." Came her contradicting response.
"Are you feeling well or not?" Colin arched his eyebrows.
Maybe it was because she was ill, but Sophia wanted to act like a spoiled child. "Not well. I have an ache in my stomach."
