Drenched in Love novel Chapter 61

Before Rolls-Royce stopped steadily at the door of hospital, holding Sophia Stephen rushed into the emergency room.

Looking at Stephen who was worried, Daniel frowned: he only saw Stephen like that five years ago, when Jessie died.

Was Mr. Berry tempted? Daniel couldn't help thinking.

Some grudges should let it in the past, if it entangled too much, it would brought more troubles.

The light in emergency room was on. Daniel accompanied Stephen waiting outside. Hazel and Jennifer were also there. Hazel cried in constantly remorse, and Jennifer comforted her.

Two hours later, the door to the emergency room opened.

The doctor came out from the inside, and Sophia lying in bed was pushed out.

Hazel immediately jumped up, “Sophia! Sophia! Are you all right, Sophia?!”

Sophia closed her without a word. And her pale face looked like that she was dead. Because she was too worried, Hazel did not notice if Sophia was breathing. She grabbed the doctor's arm and asked, “Doctor! Doctor! Sophia's not dead, is she? She's not dead, she's not dead, right?”

Hazel clutched the doctor's arm trembling and with pleading in her eyes.

The doctor took a look at Hazel, took off his mask and explained to Stephen, “Mr. Berry, Miss Carter lost too much blood, the situation is not optimistic.”

“What do you mean?”

Before Stephen spoke, Hazel asked.

The doctor continued, “Miss Carter's situation is temporarily stable. I asked the nurse to push her into the ICU, but the specific situation needs to be observed.”

Hazel could not help crying out again. Jennifer came to comfort her. Hazel cried and said, “It is my fault, it is my fault! If I had followed her, I wouldn't have let her kill herself!”

“I knew Sophia was in a bad mood, and I asked her to throw glass shards by herself. I should have gone with her! I should have gone with her!”

The doctor left after talking with Stephen.

Stephen took a look at Hazel and turned to leave.

Stephen did not leave the hospital, but went to the ICU where Sophia was.

Sophia lived in the ICU for a week. After a week, the doctor said her condition had been stable.

Hearing that, Stephen turned to leave.

During the time Sophia lived in the ICU, Stephen had been staying in the hospital, even if Daniel persuaded him to leave, he did not leave.

In the car.

After knowing Sophia's condition was stable, Stephen felt relieved, but soon, he frowned, he was angry because of his mood changes this week.

Daniel observed Stephen's face in the rearview mirror and could not help but speak, “Mr. Berry, five years ago, Miss Carter did not do it on purpose, after all, it was just an accident. Miss Carter had been in prison for five years for her mistake and now she was almost dead...That should be enough.”

“Enough?” Stephen straightened up and sneered, “Although Sophia is now lying in bed, but Jessie is lying in the grave! Can it just be gone? Kill is paid by lives, and debt is paid by money, that is the eternal truth!”

Daniel did not speak, but observed Stephen's look in the rearview mirror.

He had been working for Stephen for nearly ten years. He kind of knew Stephen well.

After venting his anger, Stephen leaned on the leather seat feebly. He looked out of the window, pressing his lips together, and then he said, “Let's go.”

The scenery outside the window continued to flash in front of the eyes, gradually Stephen felt sleepy.

By this time, he was quite relaxed.

He knew Daniel was right. Five years ago it was just an accident. Sophia did not drive carefully...... But even if he knew it was an accident, there was no way he could convince himself.

If this had happened to someone else and it had been someone unrelated to him, Stephen surely knew that five years in prison was a severe sentence. If not he used means, Sophia did not need to be in prison for five years. She could go out in three years or shorter.

But no if, and it wasn't to someone who wasn't connected to him. The man who had died five years ago, and who was now buried in the ST cemetery, was the man with whom he had planned to spend the rest of his life.

He hated her. He withstood the pressure of his parents, broke through the obstacles, thinking that finally he could be with his beloved woman...An accident made it impossible forever.

But, did he really want to kill Sophia? Stephen found that he did not really want her to die.

He did not want her to live well, nor did he want her to die.

Back at the villa, Stephen went to the bathroom to take a shower and went to bed to sleep.

Hannah heard rumors, but she did not know the details, so she asked Daniel. Daniel looked at her and said, “Hannah, it is up to Mr. Berry what to do to Miss Carter, don't make your own decision.”

Hannah had doubts and wanted to ask more carefully, but Daniel said nothing.

While in the intensive care unit, Sophia had woken up several times, but she was still weak and dizzy. Most of the time, she didn't know what was going on. After being transferred to the hospital room and waking up again, she was awake.

“Hazel..?” Probably because of the illness, Sophia felt that she did not speak smoothly.

Hazel sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed heard this sentence and jumped up. Seeing that Sophia woke up, she immediately came forward to hold her hand, “Sophia! You finally woke up! That's great! Sophia, you scarred me!”

“Sorry to have worried you.” Sophia apologized.

Hazel lifted her hand and wiped her tears from the corners of her eyes, “Never mind. It's good that you wake up. Sophia, are you hungry? Would you like some porridge? The doctor says that you are still weak and can only eat liquid food. There is millet porridge in the insulation bottle. I will fill a bowl for you.”

With a bowl of porridge had eaten, Sophia felt she restored some strength and could speak better. She grabbed Hazel's hand and said, “Hazel, thank you.”

Hazel shook her head, “Sophia, you don't have to thank me. I just stay here to accompany you. You should thank Mr. Berry. He brought you to the hospital and hired the best expert for you. You stayed in the ICU for a week, and Mr. Berry stayed in the hospital for a week. It was not until he heard that there was nothing wrong with you and you were transferred to the ward that Mr. Berry left.
