Uncontrollable Fondness novel Chapter 35

She used all her strength to dress up and her desire to vomit didn’t ease. She looked at her pale face in the mirror and continued to vomit but nothing came out. Her stomach was empty and she only vomited her stomach juices. Her tiny face was all wrinkled in discomfort.

She walked out weak and listless. Rebecca was waiting for her and looked at her with a strange look. Her eyes shifted towards her abdomen and pursed her lips but remained silent.

Mia caught her breath and recovered somewhat. She asked softly, “Rebecca, where are we going?”

Rebecca remained stern and didn’t answer her but turned and left the room. Mia followed and walked to the stairs and Rebecca was already at the bottom of the stairs and walked towards the dining area.

At the dining area, the slender body was seated at the table having breakfast. He clearly ignored Mia and the unhappiness of the previous night flooded her mind. Mia stood in place and didn’t want to move forward.

Rebecca said something into William’s ear and William looked coldly at Mia. Mia came to her senses and quickly walked downstairs, almost tripped in her anxiety.

She was scared of William, absolutely terrified of him. Her footsteps were trembling, unsteady, unwilling but yet couldn’t stop. She started to sweat with fear. When he stared at her she would be indescribably terrified.

Won’t you be afraid of someone who can at anytime make you suffer till you begged for death?

William’s handsome eyebrows twisted and coldly ordered, “Summon the doctor.”

Mia finally came to William’s side not knowing was it because she was weak or scared but her legs kept trembling. William glared at her and yelled, “Sit down!”

She hesitated and then Mia carefully sat opposite him. Her hands and feet shuffled and she looked around and then froze.

Was it necessary to explain clearly? Though she had already received the cruelest punishment, a misunderstanding needs to be cleared. It was unacceptable to be wronged.

She swallowed her saliva and carefully raised her head, “That…”

“Eat!” It was obvious that William didn’t care to listen to what she wanted to say. He pushed a plate and a cup of milk over and coldly ordered. From the time they met until now, he had never given her a decent attitude. His eyes and expression reminded her, in his heart, she is the vilest woman.

Without eating, she insisted on speaking, “I didn’t harm your wife, truly.”

His face twisted and looked up swiftly and with killer looks that pierced directly into her heart. He asked ruthlessly, “Didn’t you get the medicine to her?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

“You are a doctor, don’t you know that expired medicine will worsen the patient’s condition with potentially fatal results?!”

She knew and anxiously nodded but how could she know that there was expired medicine on the table? Or perhaps she was distracted by Sophia’s warmness and gentleness that she forgot the fundamental duties of a doctor.

“I followed the instructions of Mrs. Brown and retrieved the medicine.” She didn’t want to explain too much but just wanted to state the facts.

He clenched his fists and William stared at her furiously as if he wanted to set her on fire, “You mean that my Sophia intentionally wanted to frame you?” That expression, that voice was like this was the world’s greatest problem and he absolutely didn’t believe her and also hated her!

My Sophia, this clearly showed how deep his affection for her was.

She shook her head rapidly and begged, “I don’t mean that, don’t mean that, I meant…”

“You just want to get off the hook for the harm you did, right?” He released his hand and her body slumped down against the back of the chair and then onto the floor.

Her pitiful state was fake in William’s eyes and he totally had no pity for her. Her external and internal injuries were unbearable and Mia finally broke down in tears. She felt an intense desire to vomit.

Rebecca appeared at the door and announced, “The doctor is here.”

“Give her an examination.” He didn’t want to take another look at her and walked towards the living room. He sat lazily and closed his eyes.

Mia was pulled up to her feet by Rebecca. The doctor took her pulse and took out a pregnancy test kit. Mia suddenly remembered that her period was already late for half a month.

Could it be real…

The doctor examined and she widened her eyes to the limit. She bit down on her lips and asked uneasily, “Doctor, what’s wrong with me.” The doctor didn’t say anything and walked to William and said, “She’s pregnant.”

She’s really pregnant! It was as if she was struck by a bolt of lightning and her entire world turned upside down.

How… could…

She held onto her stomach and looked towards William, her expression was pitiful and she begged, “This… is a life…”

William looked at her with that cruel and yet vengeful poisonous look, he directly pushed her into hell, “Abort!”

Abort? Abort!

Mia’s body trembled and shook. In the end, she knelt in front of William and begged pitifully, “William, I’m the child’s mother, please give me the right to decide. Please let me decide.”

“Let you decide?” William smirked and laughed cruelly, “I won’t let you make the decision, don’t you like to harm others? Then have a taste of your own flesh and blood being harmed!”

With a push by his large hands, Mia fell onto the floor like a tattered doll. She could only continue to say, “No, don’t!” She was cold and covered in a cold sweat. It was as if her heart was cut open by a knife and she throbbed in pain and despair.

The man like Satan stood up and walked over and said, “Men, take her to the hospital!”

“Release me, release me!” She screamed as if the sky had fallen but no one can hear her calls for help. As she was tossed into the car, Rebecca tied a cloth over her mouth. She looked heartlessly at Mia.

The car drove quickly to Huntington Hospital. It went through a special lane towards the special treatment area. The special area was the hospital Director’s means of thanking William for his annual generous donations for his family’s private clinic. The equipment and service were the highest VIP patient ward.

This special lane was for his family and there wouldn’t be any bystanders. Mia was sent in that way.

“Bring her to the operating theatre!” He looked at the breathless Mia and William directly ordered his men.

Her arms were gripped tightly and dragged to the operating theatre. Mia was drenched in a cold sweat. She thought about she just found out about the tiny life and now it will be murdered, she couldn’t help but cry uncontrollably.

As she was dragged in, she saw the cold apparatus, machines, and anesthetic needles.

She continued to shake her head. The anesthetist turned and walked towards her. She was imagining a huge machine entering her body…

“No!” She didn’t know where she mustered the energy and broke free of their grip, tore off the mouth gag and screamed with all her might.

She ran desperately and rushed to the door and immediately tripped. Mia tried to retreat as the men in black and the doctor lunged towards her…

She was terrified, immeasurably terrified!

In her hopelessness and despair, she didn’t think and yelled as loud as she could, “Rocky, help me!”

Outside the door a person emerged, William turned in a hurry and dashed into the operating theatre. Laying on the ground, Mia was already pinned down by the doctor and his men. They then dragged her onto the operating table and tied her down. She struggled for her life and the anesthetic was already flowing.

“Stop!” The two men were pushed outside and the anesthetist was shoved aside. Mia was then pulled up to William’s face, “What, what did you say?”

“Say… say what?” She was still in shock and stared at him with her wide-opened eyes. She totally didn’t remember what she had said.

“Rocky, why did you call Rocky!” William yelled in fury as he shook Mia to her senses. She didn’t know why she called for Rocky. Her instincts took over when she was in danger and immense fear for her life.

The doctor walked over, wiped his sweat, and asked, “Are we… still proceeding with the operation?”

“Fuck off! Everybody get the fuck out!” He yelled furiously. The men and the doctor rushed out and only two of them remained in the huge operating theater.

William kept quiet and looked intently at Mia. His frown tightened and eased and tightened again.

In his mind, he played repeatedly the childhood voice of Sophia saying, “You’re called William Brown? Brown like rocks? Then I’ll call you Rocky, okay?”

She was six and he was eleven when they sat next to each other. That was the first time they met.

“Say, why did you suddenly call out Rocky.”

The voice seemed extremely tired and he pressed for an answer, he closed his eyes so as not to see her.

Mia swallowed hard, she just escaped from death. Her eyes twitched and she looked at the ever-changing Satanic man in front of her.

She thought for a while and then answered with her coarse voice, “Rocky is my friend’s nickname. I usually call him that.” She doesn’t know why she called that name and just made something up.

William’s hand backed away from her, turned, and walked out. He grabbed his own hair in anger! How could he suspect Sophia? So what if this woman looked like Sophia, she can’t have anything to do with him!

“Mr. Brown, that operation…” The doctor asked politely, William glared at him and shouted, “Bring her home!”

He looked from afar at Mia who has come to her senses and was rubbing her abdomen. How could his life be intertwined with her? Who was she to him?!

She was naturally strong and as she saw the doctor coming in to untie her hands, she leaned forward and said, “Doctor, I’ve made up my mind, I want an abortion!”
