Uncontrollable Fondness novel Chapter 44

Sophia was as weak as smoke as if just blinking could disperse her. He remembered that before he left, she had gone to the office to see him, her face looked better with good spirits.

How many days had it been? Just three days.

To think that Sophia was still pleading for her and she still said that she didn’t hurt Sophia?

He shook his head heartlessly and ruthlessly and shattered Mia’s heart. Though this was within her expectations when it happened, she just resigned to it helplessly. His look was as good as using a knife to pierce her heart and it hurt to the bones.

His hand tightened around the collar and William pursed his lips tightly. His glare was as if he wanted to swallow her as he emphasized every word, “If it isn’t for the urgency of Sophia’s bone marrow transplant, what you did today, you will die!”

With a push, she fell to the ground. Her back was cut by countless glass shards but the pain was in her heart. The air flows in like countless fine needles prickling right into her lungs. The pain was penetrating to the bones. With big strides, he left without taking a look at her and slammed the door shut. The room was pitch dark.

“Boss, Professor Davies is looking for you.”

“How’s Missus?”

“She is sleeping after taking the medicine.”

“She’s a light sleeper, close the windows, don’t alarm her.”

“Yes Sir.”

“Adjust the air conditioner to twenty-seven degrees and set the time.”

“Yes Sir.”

“And…”

The footsteps became further and further, his voice was full of concern for her. William’s concern for Sophia was meticulous.

Mia mustered her strength to stand up and turned on the lights. The room was in a mess with all the broken glass. This room wasn’t well equipped and with the glass panel broken, it looked empty and frightening.

She attended to the wounds on her body and climbed onto the bed, she ignored the shattered glass and slowly closed her eyes.

Mia opened her eyes as dawn breaks and the light shone into the room. The light reflected from the broken glass like countless sarcastic eyes reminding her of what happened yesterday and also the ruthlessness of the world.

Her life had already been turned upside down by William and destroyed. At twenty-two years old, that’s the time a woman dream about being loved but she had to endure the violence of a cold-blooded and ruthless man. The flower had withered before it could bloom. Two drops of tears flowed across the fair and haggard face, radiating unparalleled sorrows and misery!

She curled up tightly like an animal waiting to be protected. She was so fragile that she could disintegrate at any moment.

Outside the room, chatting and laughing could clearly be heard. Her stiff body started to twitch and her expression turned to horror! William’s voice! She was terrified whenever she heard his voice!

The corridor quietened down and she didn't feel safe. She anxiously got out of bed and stumbled to a safe corner. Like a fly darting around, ignoring that her naked feet being cut by the shards of glass!

The voice was just outside, will he come in?

She quickly turned and clung next to the window. It was her only means of escape. If he comes in, she will jump out. The terrified look turned and looked down from the window. It was a cement ground and it was the second floor. She will be severely injured if not dead if she was to jump.

And so what? Her hands trembled violently as she held onto the window frame and a few of her nails broke silently. Outside the window, someone blared the horn as a greeting and she looked towards the car park. James’s image drifted into her eyes unexpectedly like a ray of sunshine and finally warmed her ice-cold soul.

Before he got in the car he looked in her direction as if he had seen her.

“If you can’t figure it out, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s not easy to be alive. Learning how to talk and walk took several years. Why can’t you use your desire for suicide to do something worthwhile?”

This was what he had said before! She just remembered these words and they were like a wind that blew open her heart and breathed life into it.

Yes, it’s not easy to be alive and she must continue to live!

He was long gone and nowhere to be seen. She looked and saw several iron bars across the window and was immediately thankful, had there not been these iron bars, she might have already jumped down.

Not long after, Rebecca brought a few servants out and like treating an Emperor, bent forward forty-five degrees. William’s black image appeared and walked out in long strides.

She quickly looked away and hid. She grabbed the curtains and wished that she could disappear! The terror he brought far exceeded her ability to endure it. She was trembling all over and break out in cold sweat. She was terrified even if he couldn’t see her.

Once the sound of the engine passed, her world was quiet again. Had William left?

It took a long time before her pale face dared to look outside. The Maserati was gone and the car park was empty. Rebecca led the servants back. William had finally left.

She sighed a breath of relief, sat back at the bed, and realized that her legs were trembling violently.

Mia agreed and nodded and the servant sighed, “Last time I served her for a period of time, she kicked up a big fuss and almost caused my death. Boss loved her so he believed everything she said…”

A person’s clearing of the throat stopped her. Rebecca was sullen and standing at the door. The servant stood up uneasily. Rebecca walked in and looked at Mia and then to the servant, “You’re fired!”

“Ma’am, I won’t do it again! I beg you. I still have a grandson to take care of. My son is crippled…” The servant begged anxiously and repeatedly slapped herself. Rebecca didn’t even look at her and said coldly, “The Bask Residence doesn’t need a loud-mouthed servant.” She called the security guard to come and pull her out.

She looked helplessly as the servant was dragged out. She had never been a servant but she knew that they shouldn’t talk too much. Mia didn’t dare to speak up for the servant but she felt bad and rand to give her telephone number to her, “This… call me if you have any difficulties.”

Rebecca was surprised and Mia lowed her head and walked back. She thought that Rebecca would mock her for trying to help someone else when she can’t even help herself. But Rebecca didn’t say anything but glared at her.

“It’s time to go up, Missus is asking for you.” She said emotionlessly, turned, and walked to the door. She stopped at the door and said without looking back, “Be more careful if you don’t want to suffer.”

“Thanks.” Her heart warmed and sincerely thanked Rebecca. Rebecca didn’t seem to hear and walked out with her footsteps sounding.

Looking at her back, she recalled her treatment towards her over these few days. Mia was full of gratitude. Although she appeared cold and unapproachable, she was a good person.

Although she was unwilling to, she still went upstairs. She wanted to have a good chat with Sophia. When she opened the door, she saw Sophia sitting on the bed, she had a drawing board and looked towards the window and drew.

Mia walked over softly and sat on the sofa and waited. She had the time. She was beautiful. Her curly hair was over her shoulders and shining like silk. Her slender willow eyebrows, long curled eyelashes, clean eyelids, her small nose, and pink lips. It was easy to see that she was a kind lady of the elite class.

At this moment she was quiet and proper, like a princess out of the fairy tales. A princess who was pure and harmless, delicate, and adorable.

It seemed like Sophia didn’t notice her and continued to draw, she drew for a long time. Suddenly she coughed.

“Rest awhile.” Mia poured a glass of water and brought it to her, Mia said sincerely, “You haven’t recovered, don’t tire yourself.”

Smash!

Sophia didn’t look and flipped the glass and hot water splashed onto her hand painfully. Before she could say anything, she smirked sarcastically, “You must have not expected that you’ll be up here! I told you before that William loves me and will listen to whatever I say. This is love, do you understand?”

She nodded truthfully. From what the servant said, from her own eyes, she absolutely believed that Sophia was speaking the truth.

“That’s why I will continue to torture you.” The voice was straight out of hell. Mia was suddenly dazed. She lifted her head and looked at her. She was clearly beautiful but how came she was so evil to others?
