Drenched in Love novel Chapter 110

Sophia stepped on the accelerator slightly, trying to speed up. However, her car didn't go far, and it began to shake violently. And finally, it turned off.

Sophia was stunned for a moment and got out of the car in the heavy rain. She kept wiping the cold rain on her face and walked around the car. She found that the rear-left tire was flat.

Sophia bit her lip in frustration, and returned to the car. She turned on the emergency flasher and placed a warning sign behind the car. Back in the car again, Sophia took out her phone and called Emmanuel. At this time, the only person she could think of that would help her was Emmanuel.

After she dialed, Sophia became regretted because of Emmanuel's feelings for her, so she hung up quickly. Before she could press the hang-up button with her finger, there came a gentle female voice from China Mobile, telling her that her service was canceled because she hadn’t paid the bill.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Through the rain, she could only see the vague shadow of the shops on the opposite side. The further shops were completely unable to be seen.

In the heavy rain, Sophia felt abandoned and isolated by the world. When the cold wind blew, and the heavy rain continued, she hugged herself with both arms but couldn't help shivering.

At this time, she had only two choices, abandoning the car and leaving and going to the opposite shop to call Stephen and asking him to help her.

She didn’t want to trouble Stephen, but...

Although it was raining heavily, there were still people on the road who had not returned home. They drove their cars in the rain and kept honking their horns to remind others of their existence in order to avoid traffic accidents.

Sophia honked the horn in response. After the car behind passed by, she rushed to the opposite shop and used the land-line to call Stephen. She called again and again, but no one answered.

Sophia gave up finally, and she returned to the car. She honked the horn repeatedly to prevent cars passing by from ignoring her.

She had decided in her mind: She would stay in the car tonight. When the rain stopped, she would ask Hazel to help.

She didn’t know how long it took. All the surrounding shops were closed, and the world was completely dark. Sophia hid herself in her car, with her ears full of the sound of rain.

As the night got deeper and deeper, the temperature also dropped. Sophia, who was soaked all over, was so cold that she couldn't help shivering. She took off her coat to wring it out, and put it on again. Nevertheless, it didn't take long before her clothes began to drip again.

After a day’s work, Sophia was very sleepy, so she had to bite her lip to make herself sober. In such weather, if she fell asleep, she was afraid that she would be seriously ill.

Sophia didn’t know how long it took before she finally closed her eyes and started to take a nap. She was so tired that she wanted to rest for a while.

I would only sleep for a while. She told herself, and then fell asleep.

Sophia was awakened by a "bang-bang" door slamming.

She opened her eyes in a daze and found a vague black figure smashing the door of her car with a hammer. Sophia woke up suddenly and shouted: "Who are you? What do you want to do?!"

After getting in the car, for safety, she locked the door deliberately.

Sophia looked up and took out an umbrella from behind as a weapon to protect herself.

The black figure swinging the hammer froze for a while, and took a step back. And then a white figure came over. Slamming on the window glass, the white figure shouted: "Sophia, get off the car quickly!"

The rushing rain fell on the window, and formed a film of water. Sophia could not see the face of the white figure outside, but she could tell the man's voice.

That person was not anybody else, but Stephen.

"Sophia! Open the door! I'll smash it if you don't open the door!" Stephen's cold voice sounded again.

Sophia opened the lock immediately. Before she could open the door, the door was opened from outside. Stephen's cold face broke into Sophia's eyes.

"Mr. Berry."

Stephen frowned and glanced at her. Without saying a word, he reached out to get her out and left with her in his arms. The moment she left the car, a big black umbrella was opened over her head.

Sophia nestled in Stephen's arms, listening to his powerful heartbeat. Her previous fear disappeared totally. Stephen's clothes were also wet, but his body was warm. Leaning against him so close, she could feel his warmth spread to her through the clothes little by little. She felt much better. Perhaps because it was too comfortable, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

"Sophia! Sophia!"

Stephen frowned and patted the face of the woman who was in his arms: "Sophia, don’t fall asleep! You could sleep when we get home! You know? You couldn’t sleep now!"

Sophia groaned, and moved in Stephen's arms to find a comfortable position. And she fell asleep again. As she went to sleep, she uttered vaguely: "Go home. Take me home. I want to go home."

Stephen's movement on her face changed from the previous pat to soft touch.

As expected, Sophia had a fever, a high fever. It didn't work to take the anti-fever medicine, so Stephen arranged Doctor Joe to come and give her an anti-fever needle. And it was until then that the fever was reduced.

Doctor Joe laughed and looked at Stephen: "Do you want to treat her well or to torture her? If you want to treat her well, take good care of her. Don’t let her become sick now and then. If you want to torture her, why did you ask me here? Let her be sick and die!"

Stephen stared at Doctor Joe coldly.

Doctor Joe was not afraid at all: "Remember to transfer the two thousand consultation fee to me! If you were not my bro, I would not come even if you gave me two thousand. Driving in heavy rain is really dangerous!"

Hannah went to see Doctor Joe off, and Stephen stood in front of the bed, looking condescendingly at Sophia. What Doctor Joe said just now echoed in his mind: Did you want to treat her well or to torture her?

Stephen's eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips into a straight line.

Outside the villa, it rained all night. Inside the villa, Stephen stood in front of Sophia's bed all night.

The next morning, Sophia woke up in a daze, sweating profusely. Somehow, she thought of what happened when she was sick at home. She frowned and moved her body. She turned to look at the window, thinking that her mother was taking care of her by the bed. She moved her chapped lips and said, "Mom, I want to drink water."

The fever was so serious that she was powerless to speak. The first word she said was almost silent, and the latter words were clearer.

Stephen was startled, and then walked to the table and poured a glass of water. He helped Sophia to sit up from the bed and handed the water glass to her: "Drink. It’s not hot."
