Drenched in Love novel Chapter 81

Sophia had a fever.

In order to help Sophia take a bath, Stephen got a lot of water splashed on him. Looking at the wet clothes, he frowned, took off his clothes and took a batch in Sophia's room.

After taking a bath, he used a towel to wipe the hair. Sophia lied in bed groaning and her face blushed. Stephen frowned and took the forehead temperature meter. With a beep sound, the forehead temperature meter screen was red: 39.9. He immediately called the doctor to give her antipyretic injection.

"This is a very high temperature for adults. I gave her antipyretic injection. When the fever subsided, take the medicine. Drink lots of water and eat a light diet." Doctor Joe said, "It rains when I got here, I think it is still raining, so don't let her go out again."

Stephen nodded.

At four o'clock in the morning, Sophia's fever was subsided after taking medicine and drinking water. Seeing that Stephen was tired, Hannah asked Stephen to have some sleep, but Stephen refused.

Because he was too tired, Stephen fell asleep in the chair on the bedside.

He was woken by the ringing of his mobile phone. Daniel’s voice was heard over the phone: "Mr. Berry, you have a very important meeting ten o’clock in the morning."

Stephen raised his hand and looked at his watch -- his new mechanical watch. It was already nine o’clock. Stephen said, "Oh, I know. I'll be there on time."

Stephen got up and touched Sophia's forehead. Noticing her fever was gone, he felt relived. Before he walked out, he said to Hannah: "Cook clear porridge and ask her to eat it when she is up. Tell her to take medicine. And call Dr. Joe to check on her again."

Hannah nodded.

Before long Stephen left, Sophia was also awakened by the mobile phone ring. It was Vincent calling. She did not want to pick it up, but after a moment of hesitation, she picked it up because Calvin was with him.

"Sophia, where are you now? Has your foot been treated? Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?" Vincent kept asking.

Sophia frowned in disgust: "What is the matter?!"

Vincent said: "Sophia, I'm sorry about yesterday. I apologize to you on behalf of Ella. I know you didn't push her, she wronged you."

For this, Sophia was silent for a while.

Vincent seemed to know what she wanted to hear. He said, "Calvin lives in the hotel and won't leave for the next two days. You can rest assured. What Calvin said yesterday was a bit over the top. Don't take it to heart. He didn't really mean it."

"And, I will persuade Calvin to meet you before he leaves."

Sophia said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you".

"Sophia, where do you live now? I want to see you and tell you about the situation of your father and Calvin these years." Vincent wanted to inquire about the address of Sophia and to see her.

"Name a place and I'll find you."

"Your foot..."

"My foot is all right!” Then Sophia hung up the phone.

Simple washed her face, got dressed and limped out of the bedroom. Hannah was resting in the living room with her eyes closed. She was so tired last night that she decided to take a nap on the sofa. And she fell asleep.

Sophia continued to walk out quietly. The servant outside cleaning the house knew she had extraordinary relationship with Stephen, so she did not stop Sophia.

Sophia wanted to drive, but her foot was in pain and it was hard to walk, let alone to step on the brake. Helplessly, she had to limp to the door of the villa, thinking of asking Hazel to transfer her some money after getting in the car. As for how to repay the money... she would take a job at Emmanuel's barbecue shop.

At the door, Sophia wanted to stop the taxi, but she saw a white car not far away, where standing Emmanuel. Emmanuel saw her, ran over and asked: "Sophia, I finally see you!" Then he thought of something. "Why don’t you rest in there? Did Stephen force you to go to work?"

Sophia shook her head: "I want to go out, can you send me?"

“Of course!” Emmanuel picked Sophia up and got her into the car. Sophia could not help exclaiming, and Emmanuel flushed and explained, "Your foot has not yet healed and can’t walk. It would be faster if I help you."

On the halfway, Sophia suddenly thought of what Emmanuel had just said. She frowned and looked at Emmanuel. "Emmanuel, have you been waiting for me at the gate of the villa?"

Emmanuel smiled sheepishly: "I am worried about you, so I come and have a look."

She went back to the villa yesterday, and it was raining all day...

Sophia looked at Emmanuel and bit her lip: She was taking Emmanuel as a friend. But that was beyond the bounds of friends.

Vincent chose a cafe. When they went in, Emmanuel planned to go in with her in his arms, but Sophia refused, so Emmanuel gave up and put her at the door of the cafe and waited in the car.

Nevertheless, such a scene was still seen by Vincent. His hand tightened as he held the coffee cup. Men have a bad nature, even if he was not right, even if he had cheated others, looking at the woman who once belonged to him nestled in other’s arms, he would not be happy.

See that Sophia limped over with a pale face, his hand loosed. He told himself that there was nothing between them. He just wanted to help her as a friend.

Sophia sat opposite Vincent and got straight to the point: "What do you want to say?"

Vincent was not in a hurry. He put the caramel macchiato to Sophia: "Sophia, taste it. This is your favorite."

Looking at the delicate pattern of caramel dripping on the surface of the coffee and thinking of the coffee that Ella ordered for her before, Sophia ironically curved her mouth and said, "This tastes bad. I don't like it for a long time."

Vincent's face was pale. He understood that it was not just coffee that Sophia disliked, but him. "What do you want to drink? I'll order for you." Vincent raised his hand to call the waiter.

Sophia frowned: "Vincent, would you say it or not? If you don’t, I gotta go. I don't have much time to waste!"

Vincent's face stiffed and he said: "I will say."

"The Carter Group went bankrupt six months after you were put in prison. You know, the company was investing in a big project, which your father personally presided over. It was supposed to be a foolproof project. But at the last step of the project, the partner suddenly withdrew the investment. The Carter Group could not support it and had to file for bankruptcy."
