"Okay, I know! Anything else?"
"Well, that"s all!" Colin ended the phone call.
Herring hadn"t told Colin about what was going on between him and Sh.e.l.ly.
Renee was still recovering, owing to the operation she had undergone, so Sophia and Aaron always accompanied her.
The doctor had revealed to them that the old lady"s recovery would depend on her progress in the next couple of days. The siblings talked it over and finally decided to tell Jay what was going on.
Aaron accompanied Jay to the bathroom, while Sophia stayed behind to peel some fruit.
10 minutes later, they walked out of the bathroom. Except for Jay"s blood-shot and puffy eyes, everything seemed to be normal.
Sophia hesitated for a while and then addressed Jay, "Father, Grandma"s also in this hospital. Would you like to see her?"
Jay ignored her as usual.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Sophia put down the fruit. "Aaron, take father to pay grandma a visit! I"m sure she would appreciate it."
"Okay." The siblings coaxed Jay out of the ward with a lollipop.
They had just walked away when a woman in black appeared, following them in silence. Looking ordinary with a baseball cap on her head, she took out her phone and dialled a number. "The siblings have taken Jay to visit the old lady. Should I keep following?"
"How"s Jay doing?" Gregary asked, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"Still insane. Sophia coaxed him out of the room with a lollipop." The woman answered. Earlier on, she had installed a sound monitor inside the ward so she could hear their conversations.
"Okay, I"ll ask Tab to follow them from afar. You can come back." Gregary replied, after a brief moment of silence, as he considered a few issues.
"Yes, Sir!"
...
Seeing his mother hooked up to several machines and numerous tubes in the ICU, a flush of red washed across Jay"s face. He wanted to cry, but he couldn"t.
Standing by the door, Sophia made sure that there was no one following them. Then, she asked Jay to remove his disguise.
"Mother, it"s my fault. I shouldn"t hav
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won"t agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
nd asked me to protect you!" Aside from this, Herring wanted to meet Colin again and ask him why he was always bringing Colin and Sophia together, Whilst breaking his relationship with Sh.e.l.ly apart. It seemed unfair.
Looking at the card whilst displaying a sad expression, Sophia took a moment before responding, "Thank you, Herring!"
"What are you thanking me for? You should thank your husband!" Herring smiled.
Sophia placed the card in her purse, a smile on her face. "I"ll definitely thank him! Have you had lunch? I can treat you!"
Herring whistled playfully. "No, I haven"t."
At last, because of the lunch that he had with Sophia alone, Herring was requited with enmity from his kindness. Colin asked Sh.e.l.ly to keep away from him, ignoring what he had done to Sophia.
Herring tried to restrain his urge to fight with Colin.
Three days later, Sophia went to the SL Group in A Country to work. Although Colin was not there, there was so much work for her to do.
People didn"t know she was at the company at first, because she always emerged from the underground garage and went directly to the 88th floor. A few days later, everyone at the company knew that the president"s wife served also as his secretary.
Bored as Sophia felt, she still worked hard.
When night came, Sophia received a call from Payne again. "Sophia, are you free tonight?"
