Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 96

Colin didn't relent. It didn't seem like he heard her request.

A month after Sophia met Cora, Sophia received a call from her saying that the first phase was a success. The photo she sent Sophia made her chuckle.

By the time she returned to A Country on New Year's Day, she could carry on with the next phase.

Sophia has been taking traditional Chinese medicine recently. She was lucky that the medicine she got was already prepared and sealed well when she went to see the traditional Chinese medicine physician.

She didn't have to prepare the medicine in the villa and spread the the smell everywhere.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Sophia was struggling with a bag of 10oz of medicine when Colin brought Leila back to the villa.

Seeing Leila dressed in a lavender woollen coat in front of her, Sophia rubbed her eyes and wondered if she was hallucinating.

"Colin, where's the smell of traditional Chinese medicine coming from?" Leila fanned her hands, as if she hadn't seen Sophia taking the medicine.

Colin also smelled it. He was about to ask Aunt Liu what happened when he saw Sophia drinking the medicine.

A trace of worry flashed in his eyes. When did Sophia start taking medicine? Why didn't he know about this?

"Why are you taking traditional Chinese medicine?" Colin came over and asked her gently.

After taking the medicine, Sophia said curtly, "I'm nursing my body."

Colin realized that he hadn't kept his promise. When he was taking care of her at his office lounge, he said that he'd take her to a doctor.

Leila looked at Sophia doubtfully. "What happened? Can't get pregnant?"

Sophia didn't know if Leila said that on purpose, but since she was half right, Sophia admitted without hesitation, "Yes, my husband is anxious to have children, so I have to take good care of myself."

Colin didn't say a word. He fixed his eyes on Sophia as she tidied up the bowls and empty bags.

Leila rolled her eyes and held Colin's arm. "Colin, I'm hungry. I want to eat some of your cooking."

Sophia's hand paused as she threw away the rubbish. Looking up at the intimate couple, she felt a slight ache in her heart.

She didn't know that Colin could cook. When Wendy asked her to look after Colin, she assumed that Colin couldn't do these things.

It turned out that he just didn't have anyone worth cooking for.

Now, that Leila's arrived...

Colin opened the freezer and took out some ingredients, preparing to cook.

After clearing up the mess, Sophia smiled at Leila. "Leila, I'll ask Ms. Qin to prepare the guest room for you."

"Okay, thank you!"

Leila was definitely of noble birth. She had remarkable manners and good upbringing.

"You're welcome." Sophia asked Ms. Qin to prepare a guest room and let Leila know directly, while she hid in her room and worked.

Not long after, Ms. Qin knocked on her door. "Madam, Mr. Li is calling you downstairs for dinner."

She forced a smile and refused gently. "No, I'm not going down. I still have work to finish."

Ms. Qin stared at her with distress before she finally nodded. "Well then, I'll tell Mr. Li."

The room fell into silence again. Although she was sitting in front of the computer, Sophia wasn't thinking about work.

Leila was a graceful and honest woman, who didn't play dirty tricks. This rankled Sophia. If she had been a cunning and malicious woman, she would have flaunted her relationship with Colin.

But because Leila was dignified and obviously wasn't that kind of person, it left Sophia at a loss.

The sound of the door opening snapped Sophia from her reverie.
