Uncontrollable Fondness novel Chapter 42

After packing up several simple things Mia left with Rebecca to go back to the Brown residences. Mia was actually relieved as soon as she sat in the car. This time she will become Sophia’s personal nurse 24 hours a day. In that case, William will not have any opportunity to have physical relations with her.

She rubbed her abdomen and her slender back leaned against the backrest. She closed her eyes and sighed.

Rebecca sat by her side and she clutched a large phone while talking to William, “Yes Boss. I will relay the message to Missus. Do I need to prepare some clothes for you? Book the return air ticket? A week later? Okay, okay, I will inform your secretary, yes, yes.”

Does William have an upcoming business trip? That’s even better.

She saw the familiar large gate as they reached the Brown residence. As Mia got off the car, she was greeted by a cold breeze and she shivered in the cold. The road led deep into the courtyard and a chill ran down her spine. She consoled herself, “William this curse will be leaving soon, what’s there to be worried about?”

The thought of how the kind and gentle Sophia will welcome and take care of her eased her concerns. She calmed and braced herself and walked in.

She was brought by Rebecca to Sophia’s room. This was the second time she entered the room. The room was predominantly pink with some blue for coordination.

Sophia was sitting on the huge princess bed. Her pale face revealed her sickness. Her nails had been done with bright colors to make up for her condition.

Rebecca conscientiously relayed what William had instructed. Sophia smiled at Mia with a tender and yet gloomy expression. Mia shuddered as Sophia said, “Rebecca, bring Miss Charles around to familiarize herself with the surroundings. At the same time show her what I need daily.” She said in her sickly and gentle voice. By now, Mia felt that she had worried too much and she was a lot more at ease with the arrangements.

She always knew that there was another small room. That was Sophia’s temporary treatment room. Rebecca used a key to open the door and led Mia in.

“This is Missus’s daily treatment regime. Have a close look at it and ask me if you don’t understand. Additionally… “Rebecca threw what looked like an instructions booklet and after she went through them, she pointed to the machines and began to explain to Mia.

She studied medicine and naturally could easily understand. She looked at the booklet as Rebecca explained. The session took almost an hour. As they were about to leave, Rebecca suddenly walked over to the table and pulled out a drawer full of medicine, “Remember, you need to give Missus these medicines every day. In the drawer are those medicine currently in use and those on the table are the expired ones. You must be clear about this. When you spot those medicine that will be expiring soon, you’ll need to put them on the table…”

“What?” Mia stared at Rebecca’s hand in disbelief.

Rebecca wasn’t angry and patiently explained again, “Those medicine in the drawer are what Missus needs, those on the table are expired…”

“Are you… sure?” Alarm bells rang in her head. She shook her head in disbelief, “Aren’t those on the table the ones to be consumed?” That time Sophia clearly told her to take the medicine on the table!

Before Rebecca answered, she hastily took the second bottle from the left and checked. It had clearly expired for a year. She took another bottle and that had expired too.

So, the last time she indeed took the expired medicine.

Did she hear wrongly or did Sophia made a mistake?

“Do you understand?!” Rebecca raised her voice and she quickly nodded. She couldn’t explain how she felt.

Rebecca brought her out and they came to Sophia. Sophia waved to Rebecca, “You may leave.”

The two of them remained in the room.

Mia felt sick in her stomach to know that her mistake had brought so much harm to Sophia. She should apologize since she was in the wrong.

“You must have seen clearly,” Sophia said before Mia could. Her hands held onto her abdomen and her pretty nails complemented her pampered and chilling face, “The last time I made the error intentionally. You must know the reason why I did it.

What… what did she say?

She was dazed, Mia looked at her with her crystalline eyes. She looked at her sickly and kind face which actually was full of chilling hatred.

The pink lips were full of luster but the words that came out of her mouth were increasingly cold, “Mia, didn’t you leave? Why did you come back? Why are you clinging onto William?”
