Drenched in Love novel Chapter 85

As Dr. Joe expected, Sophia had a fever again in the evening. This was Stephen's fifth visit to the guest room that night.

Stephen came out of the room and sat in the living room in silence. Every half an hour, he got into the room to see Sophia once.

Sophia’s temperature reached to 39 degrees. Stephen found the medicine left by Dr. Joe, helped Sophia up to take it. Half an hour later, he took Sophia's temperature again, but it was still 39 degrees.

Stephen immediately called Dr. Joe.

"The fever hasn't gone for half an hour? Take a wet towel to wipe her limbs, and put a cold compress on her forehead for physical cooling. You've already given her antipyretic. I could do nothing even if I am there. You keep an eye on her. Call me again if you can't do it."

Stephen took a basin of water outside and threw two towels in. Hannah was to help, but was stopped by Stephen, “Hannah, go to sleep. I can do it myself."

Hannah was silent for a moment and turned to leave.

Wiping the body, and changing cold compress on the forehead for two hours. Sophia's fever was finally gone. Looking at the normal range of temperature, Stephen was relieved.

By this time it was broad daylight. Stephen was tired, got out of the guest room, and took a bath his bedroom and then lied down to sleep.

Stephen took care of Sophia for two days. When Sophia was basically healed, he asked Hannah to take care of her and he went to work.

"Miss Carter, this is the porridge. Please eat it." Hannah handed Sophia the porridge.

Sophia did not refuse and ate the porridge.

These two days, Sophia had been like this. She did whatever she had been told to. She didn't say a word or do anything, just like a walking corpse. She wanted to use this way to let Stephen let go of her.

In the evening, Stephen came back and came to see her in the guest room. He reached out to touch Sophia's forehead and see if she still had a fever. Sophia turned her head away.

Stephen looked at her, did not say a word, and turned to leave.

The next morning, Sophia took the medicine and then lied in bed. Her cell phone rang. It was Vincent calling, “Sophia, Calvin has agreed to see you."

Sophia sat up from the bed happily, “Really? Where is he?" She moved too fast, so she got dizzy and asked with a frown.

Vincent gave her the address, “I will pick you up."

"Don't! I'll go there myself!"

When she got out of bed, she almost fell on the ground. Hannah came to help, but Sophia pushed her hand away, “No, I can do it myself."

Sophia drove to the cafe.

Vincent stood at the door of the cafe early to greet her. Seeing her coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Sophia, have you recovered from your injury? Why are you so thin?"

Sophia ignored him and looked sideways into the cafe, looking for Calvin's figure. Vincent immediately opened the door for her and led her into a remote booth in the corner.

Seeing that Calvin sat in front of her eyes, Sophia was nervous and said with a trembling voice, “Calvin."

Calvin raised his eyes to take a look at her, and then lowered his head to the coffee.

Vincent asked Sophia to sit down.

The cafe was quiet at this time, almost deserted except for them. Sophia was silent for a while looking at Calvin and then she said, “I heard from Vincent you are now studying in America and Dad is with you. How are you?"

Calvin lowered his eyes and responded, “We are good. Although Dad and I are not familiar with it, at least there are no debt collectors, no other people's judgments. Also, thanks to Vincent's financial support for us over the years, or we would not be alive today."

Sophia looked to Vincent. She did not expect that Vincent gave her father and Calvin so much help. Five years in a foreign country, plus tuition and living expenses, it was not a small amount of money.

Vincent smiled at her. The smile reminded Sophia of the first time they met and how he had laughed. After thinking of these years, Sophia's heart sank and she turned to look at Calvin.

"Calvin, Dad..." As Sophia spoke, there was a bell ring at door, Ella pushed the door in. She stood at the counter and looked around. After noticing them, she ran over in panic.

Vincent frowned. Calvin stood up and said, "Ella, what's wrong?"

Ella took a look at Sophia and forced a smile, “Nothing wrong." Ella stood in front of Vincent and uttered words that surprised the people present.

She said, "Vincent, let's get a divorce."

Vincent frowned more deeply, “You go home first. We will talk about it when we get home."

Ella took a look at Sophia. It seemed that she feared. She held Vincent's arm, begging, “No! I can't wait till you get home! It must be done now! Vincent, I beg you, for the sake of our five years of marriage, we are now going to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce. I have the marriage certificate with me!"

Ella took out a marriage certificate from the bag to Vincent, but also to Sophia. In fact, she and Vincent married only for four years, but she deliberately said it was five years. Vincent did not notice it.

"Vincent, we divorce now! I don't want the house, car, or cash! I only want Luis! I only want Luis!" As she said this, her eyes turned red.

Hearing that, Sophia, Calvin and Vincent noticed that Luis was not with her.

"Ella, where is Luis? Why is he not with you?" Calvin asked.

Ella again looked at Sophia. This was the third time she looked at Sophia like that, which made Sophia have a bad feeling.

Ella smiled and said, "Luis is at home. I asked the nanny to accompany him." But anyone could see that she smiled reluctantly.
