Drenched in Love

Chapter 23 Is It Fun to Fool Me

Seeing his lip was about to touch her, Sophia sobered up and turned her head.

Because of her action, Stephen was instantly awake. Realizing what he was to do, Stephen was

startled and took two steps back to keep a distance away from Sophia.

Sophia took advantage of this and ran back to her office.

Looking at her panic look, Hazel could not help but whisper, “Sophia, what's wrong with you?”

Sophia tried to control her trembling fingers and shook her head. “Nothing.”

Seeing she did not want to say, Hazel did not ask again. After a moment, the pain in the lower

abdomen made Sophia think of something, she quietly asked Hazel, “Hazel, I have no money with you.

Can you lend me one hundred? I'll pay you back when I get paid.”

She was on her period and had no money to buy tampons.

Hazel immediately took out the money from the wallet to Sophia.

Sophia reached out her hand to take it, but before that, she felt the temperature around was much

lower.

Stephen angrily walked in from the outside, grabbed Sophia's wrist to drag her out.

“What are you doing?”

Sophia was dragged by Stephen, stumbling out.

Seeing Sophia was treated like this, Hazel wanted to help Sophia, but she shut up when she saw it was

Stephen.

Stephen dragged Sophia into the elevator and walked to the negative layer of the underground parking

lot, put her into the car before he drove.

Sophia asked with a frown, “What exactly do you want, Stephen?”

Stephen said nothing and drove her to the hospital.

It was still the dean and the director of obstetrics and gynecology did the examination in person. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The director of obstetrics and gynecology put the coupling agent on Sophia's lower abdomen, put the

probe on it, and the image inside the abdominal cavity immediately appeared on the screen.

Stephen stood in front of the screen. He could not understand the image on it. The dean gave the

director of obstetrics and gynecology a look, and the director of obstetrics and gynecology immediately

explained, “Mr. Berry, Miss Carter's endometrium is thick, and it happens to be during her period. Miss

Carter is not pregnant.”

Stephen's eyes darkened

The director of obstetrics and gynecology hurriedly explained, “HCG concentration is a standard to

check whether she is pregnant, but in addition to pregnancy, cross infection, interference in the blood,

nonspecific licking antibodies, the false positives of methodology, pituitary sources, tumor can lead to

the rise of HCG, and even some expired food may also lead to an elevated HCG.”

Hearing a series of nouns, Stephen got a sullen face and did not speak.

Sophia sat up, took the tissue to erase the coupling agent on the lower abdomen, put on clothes, “Mr.

Berry, you don’t need to worry now. I did not lie to you. I'm not pregnant.”

Stephen suddenly looked up at Sophia with sharp eyes. Sophia bit her lip, showing no sign of giving in.

Feeling the low pressure in the examination room, the dean and the director of obstetrics and

gynecology looked at each other and quietly left.

Only Stephen and Sophia were left in the examination room, and it became quieter.

Seeing that Stephen had not spoken, Sophia said, “Mr. Berry, it is still the work time, I have to go back

to company.”

As Sophia went to the door, Stephen grabbed her wrist and violently dragged her back.

He looked at her commanding, frowning, brewing heinous anger in the eyes, “Sophia, what do you

want? Is it fun to fool me?”

Sophia could not help sneering, “What do I want? Mr. Berry, I should ask you this question. What do

you want, Mr. Berry?”

“I was hired by the Berry Group through normal channels. If you don't like me, you can fire me and let

me get away, instead of looking at me with anger, as if I have done something terribly wrong to you,

while tying me to the Berry Group with a high amount of compensation.”

“Mr. Berry, what have I done to offend you that you torture me like this?”

Stephen's misty eyes suddenly became clear, but it was cold without temperature.

“What have you done to offend me?” Stephen chuckled. His breath hit the face of Sophia, which made

Sophia could not help shaking, “Sophia, don’t you know what you have done? Don't say I torture you.

Even if I kill you now, it will serve you right!”

Stephen suddenly threw off Sophia, opened the door and went away.

Sophia staggered and then got her feet supporting the wall. She bit her lip, straightened up, stroked her

lower abdomen, took a short rest and left the examination room.

Since high school, she had had menstrual cramps and had been increasingly serious. Last night in

order to meet the Johnson Group, she stood all night in the lobby of the airport, and now she had been

gone through torment, the pain became more severe.

Stephen left, and the money was taken away by him, so she could only go back. Fortunately, the

hospital was not too far away from the Berry Group.

By the time she got to the office, Sophia was in a cold sweat.

“Sophia, what's the matter with you?” Hazel immediately helped Sophia to the chair.

Sophia panted pointing to the cup, “Hazel, can you give me hot water?”

Hazel gave her the hot water. Sophia drank a mouthful. When the hot water got into her stomach from

the throat, the lower abdomen soon had a warm feeling and she felt better.

Sophia closed her eyes and rested in a chair. It was the first day of her period, which was the most

difficult day for her. Previously, she would lie in bed and rest, with a hot water bottle tied around her

stomach and waist. When she could not bear it any more, she would take painkillers.

After a while, Sophia opened her eyes and whispered to Hazel, “Hazel, I have period. Do you have

tampon?”

Hazel immediately dug out a bag of tampon from the drawer of her desk.

Sophia took out a piece to go to the bathroom. When she was back to the office, her belly was still in

great pain. There were many things to do today, Sophia asked Hazel to buy her painkillers, “I will give

you the money back when I get paid.”

“Sure, sit down and rest. I'll pour you a cup of hot water. Drink some water and you will get better.”

Sophia forced a smile and thanked Hazel.

After Hazel left, there was a cold hum, “You have someone to serve you at work. Even Mr. Berry won’t

do that.”
