Dorothy nodded abruptly. Her mother was her ultimate counselor and she would do whatever her mother told her so. She knew her mother was more experienced and intelligent.
"Have you already sent Sophia an invitation card of your wedding?" Marcella finished putting medicine on her daughter"s wounds and closed the medical kit.
"It has been done a long time ago. She said she would come. I don"t know if she will be true to her words." She was pleased at the thought of marrying Colin with Sophia witnessing all the proceedings. She wanted her to get so envious.
After their wedding, she would never be belittled by Sophia. After all, Sophia would be just an ex-wife by then.
Marcella suddenly paused and froze for a while. "Will Sophia embarra.s.s herself by attending her ex-husband"s wedding? Or will she just cause a scene that will embarra.s.s us instead?" She thought seriously to herself. She hastily put the medical kit inside the cabinet and told her daughter, "Find somebody to keep close watch on Sophia at your wedding. She shouldn"t make any trouble or even an uproar. As far as I"m concerned, lots of distinguished guests will be there that day. That shows Colin"s respect to us. I will not let Sophia ruin the big day of our family."
"You"re right. When Sophia married Colin, they got their marriage certificate secretly. It was in low profile. Now, he has prepared a grand wedding ceremony for me. Mom, I think Colin treats me in a more important sense than Sophia, right?" Dorothy seemed to think of something and lowered her head, timidly expecting a positive response from her mother.
Marcella thought for a moment but she didn"t rush to answer the question. Then, she asked, "Did Colin ever tell you when will you get your marriage certificate?"
"Yes, he told me that we could do that the day after our wedding. He a.s.sured me of that already."
"That"s good news! It seems that he does treat you differently." Marcella"s imagination made both of them walk on air. They suddenly became so proud of themselves.
Then Dorothy accidentally touched her wound and it ached so much. She decided, "Mom, let"s go to the hospital. I can"t risk any infections on these wounds."
"OK", her mother answered in a very concerned tone.
They went to the Chengyang Private Hospital together. Before Dorothy was vaccinated, Marcella suddenly grabbed the nurse"s arm and stopped her.
"What"s up? What are you doing, Mom?" Dorothy asked, obviously very confused. Both Dorothy and the nurse looked at Marcella curiously.
Marcella thought for a while then asked Dorothy, "When did you have your most recent period?"
Dorothy wondered as to her mother"s intention behind this question and hesitatingly responded with another question, "Mom, why are you asking this? I don"t know. I think the maid has been keeping records of that for me."
It"s true. The maid would prepare the necessary things for D
Falling from n.o.bility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
they were planning to do. They couldn"t make a fool out of him anymore.
However, if Dorothy could get pregnant, why Sophia couldn"t? He wondered sadly. Colin felt discouraged upon this thought. Was it because he was not exerting much effort?
Sophia suddenly sneezed at her office. She felt cold and had to raise the temperature of the room"s air conditioner.
Right after that, she went to the toilet. When she came out, she suddenly thought of something and was confused.
She remembered that her period had come this morning. But she felt nothing now. It just disappeared. She had always had her period normally for a long time. Was she suffering from some gynecologic inflammation? She pondered about this.
Suddenly, she thought of another possibility, and this put a grave expression on her face. Did Colin really get infected with syphilis with Dorothy? "No, that would be wrong." She quickly corrected herself. Colin said he never touched Dorothy. She believed his words.
Then, what happened to her? Sophia wondered, her mind consumed with that question. Why didn"t her period come?
For the sake of her health, Sophia decided to see a doctor immediately when she had free time. She should take some pills if she was suffering from gynecologic inflammation.
Sitting back at her office desk, Sophia picked up her phone then hesitated, debating if it"s a smart move to call Hugh.
She was not busy for a long time now as the company had been engaged in fewer projects in this time of the year.
She decided to call him, anyway.
But at that very moment, Sophia"s phone suddenly rang. The phone ringtone sang, "If you can"t love deeply, please save your face at least. I won"t regret having loved you. But I also respect the ending of our story." Sophia was startled.
She hastily checked her phone and saw that the call was from an unknown number.
"Are you Sophia?" An old, familiar voice was heard on the phone.
