Uncontrollable Fondness

She held her hand to her chest to ease the pain. Several fingers were severely scalded. Sophia’s eyes opened widely and looked at her hand. She smirked and started a bone-chilling laugh.

She stretched and grabbed her arm.

“Ah!” The pain was intense and Mia screamed and she winced in pain. Sophia’s sharp fingernails dug into the blisters where she had been scalded and continued to laugh coldly.

She wanted to forcibly yank her hand out from her grasp but Sophia just wouldn’t release. She even stretched out the other arm and grabbed onto her wrist. Apart from looking pale and some cold sweat, her strength was unlike a sick person.

“Let go of me… You… don’t hurt yourself.” She was panting in pain. Mia could only beg and Sophia’s condition was truly alarming.

Sophia didn’t seem to hear and continued to tighten her grip and her body began to tremble.

She didn’t want to struggle for fear that it will bring Sophia more harm. Mia bit her lips and forced herself to endure the pain without moving. Sophia squinted her beautiful eyes but now they were nothing but evil and murderous. Her fingernails already dug into Mia’s flesh and yet she laughed in satisfaction while she’s pale.

“Mia, remember this, William, you can never touch!” Sophia began to breathe and her sharp eyes glared at her.

Mia could only nod and would agree to anything, as long as she let go. Sophia continues to pant and finally calmed down but her hand didn’t release her grip. Her expression was even colder and she smiled, “I don’t believe anyone, especially you! Don’t think that you can have any chance of being with William. No more, never ever!” She screamed the last few words. Mia could only look at her feet and her body was ice cold as if she had fallen into an ice pit.

Her body was violently pushed away and she continued backward several steps. Quickly followed was the drawing board being flung towards her and hit her on the face. It was so painful, so painful. The drawing board crashed onto the floor. On the board was a drawing of a heart being ripped open and bleeding.

She stared in shock at the drawing and looked at Sophia in disbelief. How could this delicate woman have such a violent imagination?

Sophia was panting weakly as if she could faint at any moment. Mia erected the drawing board wanted to support her but she pushed her away.

“Go away, don’t touch me!” Sophia was unimaginably stubborn. Mia couldn’t bear to and said, “Missus Brown, you can hate me, punish me, but don’t let your body suffer.”

“Ah, is this your sincere words?” The pale face looked in disbelief and her unforgiving mouth continued, “I think you definitely hope that I fall dead right this moment. If I die you will be able to have William all to yourself!”

“No, I didn’t!” This was the truth, she didn’t even think of it in that manner. If possible, she wanted to leave immediately! She walked forward and looked at Sophia sincerely, “Missus Brown, send me away. With me gone from here, you won’t worry anymore. Rest assured that when the time comes I’ll be back to donate the bone marrow to you.” Hatred aside, saving another life was a doctor’s duty. She was clear about this.
