When the day broke, William didn’t look back and walked out. He didn’t even take another look at her.
Looking at the bed sheets in a mess, Mia felt disgusted. She heard the sound of a car starting up and William’s Maserati rushed away.
Soon a voice came from the corridor. “Where did William go so early?”
“He said the office.”
“Oh, that’s right, I’m sick for such a long time he must have a lot of unfinished work. Rebecca, If anything happens to me just contact Professor Davies, don’t disturb William.”
The gentle and delicate sweet voice and yet cold serious voice, Mia immediately recognized, it’s Sophia and Rebecca.
Rebecca answered, “Yes Madam.” And their words came through the door.
She thought that they were passing through but suddenly there were knocks on the door. Mia was stunned and sat on the bed, not knowing what to do. It wasn’t until the fifth knock did she reply, “coming’, and quickly got out of the bed.
She quickly picked up the clothes on the floor and covered herself with the blanket to hide the marks from lovemaking. Only then did she open the door.
Outside, a delicate and pure face appeared. They looked alike except that Sophia was far more elegant and aristocratic. She wore a long purple dress over her frail and delicate body. It was someone that everyone would want to protect.
“Ah?” Sophia’s beautiful eyes fell upon Mia’s body and looked surprised and said, “You look very familiar, have we met somewhere?”
In fact, she was captured by Peter to replace her. Except for that time she almost lost her life.
Her face started to flush and was awkward and didn’t know what to say. Rebecca was quick to say respectfully, “Madam, have you forgotten? She looks very much like you!”
“It’s her!” Sophia suddenly remembers and her expression changed immediately. Mia thought that she remembered that she had tried to shoot her once and lowered her head, “I’m sorry.”
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Sophia quickly calmed down and held her hand. “After all, I’m very unfortunate. Forget it, it’s all in the past.”
Mia was dazed. She saw that Sophia was so willing to approach her and regretted that she was once so nasty towards her. Sophia looked at her like they had known each other for a long time, “You really look like me. It’s a rare opportunity that we have the destiny to meet and yet you are donating your bone marrow to me. I don’t even know how to thank you.”
“No need!” Mia didn’t expect the heartless and cruel William can have such a kind and thoughtful wife.
Sophia was really obliging. She immediately gave her two dresses. One for wearing at home and another nightgown. They were all purple. She insisted that Mia wore it and pursed her lips and said, “Very nice, you have a great figure, Miss Charles. Purple looks very refreshing on you and is my favorite color.”
“You like purple?” She remembered Rebecca mentioning once that Sophia liked sky blue and that was why William always didn’t allow her to wear anything that was sky blue in color.
Sophia raised her eyebrow, “Yes, any matter?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Sophia didn’t pursue and dragged her downstairs to have breakfast and tea. Her beautiful eyes occasionally fell onto her, “Miss Charles, where did you graduate from, what did you study?”
“Oh, Western University Hospital, a general practitioner on Chinese medicine,” Mia answered truthfully. Sophia was surprised, “Wow, medicine, you are so smart!”
Chatting with Sophia was very casual, much more comfortable compared to William. Mia enjoyed chatting with Sophia.
“Madam, you need to take your medicine.” Rebecca brought a bowl of medicine. Sophia blinked and waved her away. After drinking the medicine, she became restless, weak, and pale.
Mia was uneasy and asked, “Missus Brown, are you not feeling well?”
“A little tired.” Sophia shook her head, and laughed at her, “don’t worry, I’ve been like this for several years, it’s okay.”
Mia calmed down.
Sophia requested meekly, “Can you help me upstairs to rest? The servants are resting now, I don’t want to disturb them.”
How can she refuse such a gentle and compassionate person? Mia carefully guided Sophia to her room, laid her down, and gently covered her with a blanket.
Sophia softly said, “Thanks” which went right into Mia’s heart, she quietly blamed the heavens for the injustice. Why does such a nice person have to be inflicted with such illness? Even if someone should get an illness, it should be a heartless person like William. On second thoughts, if he fell ill, then Sophia would suffer as well.
As she turned and was about to leave, Sophia remarked, “Ah! I forgot another medicine, can you help me get it?”
