Uncontrollable Fondness novel Chapter 43

In their hands were bags of gifts and were clearly here to visit Sophia. The person who woke Mia up was Mindy Sails. She raised her beautifully tattooed eyebrows and glared at her. Her facial features did not resemble Sophia but they shared the same fury.

“Oh!” Mia stood up in a hurry and dropped her handheld fan. She quickly twisted the cover and the steam shot to her wrist and her fingertips could feel the temperature. She winced in pain as she flung the lid and it dropped to the ground with a clank.

“What the hell are you doing! Don’t you have eyes?” Teddy yelled in anger.

Mia couldn’t believe her eyes and looked at them. Weren’t they the kind and compassionate couple on the television? How was it they turned into such cold and heartless people in real life?

Her fingertips and wrist were painful like they had been slit but these two weren’t a bit concerned.

Mindy raised her wristwatch and yelled, “What time is it and this medicine hasn’t been served? Do you know how to do your work? Where’s Rebecca?”

Rebecca ran out of the house and greeted the two of them. Mindy continued to criticize Mia and Rebecca glared coldly at her. She lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry.” After then she ordered for a clean bowl to dish out the medicine.

“Thanks, I’ll serve the medicine,” Mia said to Rebecca with a slight smile. Rebecca continued to glare at Mia and took the bowl of medicine and walked in with the couple.

They reached Sophia’s room and Mindy glared at Rebecca and took over the bowl and walked to Sophia, “Honey, come, drink this medicine.”

Sophia was weak and her eyes were swollen and red. She leaned on the headrest and breathe weakly. Mindy yelled immediately, “What! Honey, why do you look so weak! Didn’t you have a good rest last night?”

Sophia shook her head weakly and calmly look at Mindy and said, “Nothing.”

Teddy walked over to Sophia and saw her weak condition, “You look very weak, is there anything wrong with your body? Let’s go to the hospital immediately.” Teddy frowned and looked more worried than Mindy. He seemed more genuinely concerned about Sophia. But after seeing how they treated her a moment ago, Mia felt that they were all fake and were wearing a face mask.

Rebecca looked over at Mia, “What happened? Haven’t you been taking care of Missus? Why is she so weak?”

Mindy turned and went to Mia. She raised her voice and yelled, “What’s wrong with you! We pay you to take care of Sophia, are you sure you know what you need to do? Are you able to bear the responsibility if something happens to my Sophia?”

Mia was questioned until she didn’t know what to say. She held onto the medicine, stood in place, and bit her lips. How can she tell them that in order to torture Mia, Sophia was torturing herself?

Teddy saw the comfortable bed and the food on the table. He then looked at Mia and accused, “Sophia treated you so well and you dare to do these? What! This is unacceptable. I must tell William immediately!” He picked up his phone and dialed.

Can she say that she didn’t sleep and eat? Can she say that she was so tired she is on the verge of collapsing and hungry that she saw stars? Will anyone believe her?

Teddy and Mindy were abnormally concerned for their daughter and seemed exaggerated. They will never hear her explanation, not to mention whether they will believe her.

Sophia called out to Teddy, “Dad, I’m okay.” But she didn’t prevent Teddy from calling, instead, she looked coldly at Mia with an evil smile.

This was her revenge! She heard Teddy complaining about her through the phone and Mia was heartbroken. She suppressed her tears from rolling down her cheeks.

Mindy circled around Sophia while scolding Mia. After Teddy was done with the call he continued to lecture Rebecca and ordered her to contact the doctor.

Mia was driven out of the room by Mindy. She rubbed her eyes and she was increasingly weak as she went down the stairs. She was becoming dizzy as she went down and then she bumped into a person.

She lifted her head and in her daze, she saw that the person was Rebecca with her expressionless face. Her black colored suit was stiff and cold, just like her personality.

Rebecca just received a call. She didn’t blame her nor push her away. She led Mia to the dining hall and left. Mia felt that her head was spinning and her stomach hurt. She couldn’t handle it anymore. She slumped on the table and can’t move an inch as if she had died.

Footsteps sounded and Rebecca patted her shoulder and coldly said, “Eat this bowl of porridge. Professor Davies will be here soon. You don’t have to be around. Go and rest.”

“Thanks.” The tears that were forcible held back started to flow when she received Rebecca’s kindness. Rebecca didn’t seem to see them as she turned and left. Looking at the back of Rebecca, Mia no longer felt that she was cold and heartless.

She felt much better after eating something and she could go back upstairs. When she went up, she realized that she didn’t have a room. Even her bed was in Sophia’s room.

She went to the room that she previously stayed in. She twisted the doorknob and it wasn’t locked. She slowly entered. She looked at herself in a huge mirror and she was shocked.
