Chapter 46 – Don’t Get Hurt Again!
After that, Michael left Sophia on the sofa alone because he had to take medicine for her.
A few moments later. Michael returned with the medicine box, after which he sat down and put Sophia's dirty and injured leg in his lap.
"What are you doing?". asked Sophia with an uneasy feeling.
Michael just stared at Sophia for a moment, after that he rinsed her dirty feet with a towel that he had wetted and then bandaged the wound with medicine.
Sophia was silent while watching Michael who didn't speak to her at all.
Meanwhile, Michael is heartbroken to see the blood and wound on Sophia's leg, although it's not a very serious wound.
"What's wrong with him? Why is he so quiet? Doesn't he want to ask what happened to me?". Inner Sophia.
Sophia was uncomfortable with the way Michael treated her. She felt it was inappropriate for a man to clean a woman's feet, but Sophia couldn't stop him.
"Michael…"
Michael turned to Sophia when he heard her soft voice calling his name.
"Do you need anything?"
Sophia was silent for a moment while staring intently at the face of the man who had stolen all of her love.
From the look on Michael's face, Sophia could see Michael's feelings were currently filled with fear and anxiety.
After that, Sophia put her cold hands on Michael's cheeks.
"What's wrong? Why are you so restless?" asked Sophia attentively.
Michael was surprised when both of Sophia's hands touched his cheeks. Instantly his heart softened and felt much calmer.
"Please don't get hurt!" Michael said quietly.
Unknowingly, Sophia smiled at Michael's words. He nodded obediently.
Michael was happy that Sophia was no longer showing her stubbornness.
After that, Sophia leaned her head on the back of the sofa because she was tired.
"Michael… I don't know what will happen to us. Obviously, I can't possibly get back with you. Therefore, please don't forgive me if I can no longer keep my distance from you and allow myself to hope for more. I am indeed evil and selfish, But this is what's best for us." Sophia thought while watching Michael's handsome face.
Unknowingly, Sophia fell asleep on the sofa. Michael smiled seeing Sophia who fell asleep so easily.
"The old habits haven't changed, my most beautiful sleeping princess." Michael thought while looking at Sophia with love.
After thinking, Michael took Sophia to his room. Not long after, Michael lay down on his bed.
After making sure that Sophia was sleeping comfortably, Michael sat on the edge of the bed while looking at her innocent face, who was sleeping soundly. At that moment, he felt an immeasurable joy.
"Shopia… Let's live together until we die to make up for the eight years we lost. I promise there will be no more tears! Really, I always miss you even though you are near me, but I still miss you." said Michael. After that he kissed her forehead for a long time with full of love.
After that, Michael left Sophia alone in the room. Without Michael knowing it, Sophia had tears in her eyes, either because of a dream or she heard everything Michael said.
A few hours later.
After a long sleep, Sophia opened her eyes. Immediately she looked around.
Sophia was surprised when she saw the clock that showed half past two in the afternoon.
"Oh my gosh it's half past two, that means I've been asleep long enough. Why didn't Michael wake me up?". Sophia felt uncomfortable because she had slept too long in someone else's house, especially since it was Michael's house.
Therefore, Sophia immediately got up and got off the bed. Just then, her eyes fell on the piece of paper that was on the small bedside table.
"Shopia… I have to go to London for a business trip, maybe I was already on the plane when you read it. I beg you to be nice by staying in this house to accompany Zian until I return. It's likely that my sister will pick up Zian if she comes sooner from what I expected. Regarding your needs, I have prepared everything. The motorbike that you will use for work is already in the trunk. For your lunch, I put it in the kitchen. You just have to cook it to make it better, I'll be right back!".
Sophia took a deep breath after reading the message written on the paper Michael left.
"Just this once, I'll comply with your request!" Inner Sophia.
After thinking, Sophia rushed to take a shower.
It seems that what Michael said was that all of Sophia's needs were already in her room. Therefore, Sophia felt more comfortable.
After bathing and getting ready. Sophia came out of Michael's room feeling better.
A moment later, Sophia checked the condition of Zian who was taking a nap in his room. After that she went into the kitchen and saw the food that Michael had made for her.
"Michael's cooking is quite good, did he also learn to cook before?". Sophie thought with a smile.
After thinking, Sophia continued to eat voraciously.
The next morning.
When Sophia and Zian were enjoying breakfast happily, suddenly Larry came and joined them.
The truth is that Larry has been assigned to look after Sophia and Zian so he has to visit Michael's house more often.
"Sister-in-law, I will be your driver today". said Larry excitedly.
"No need! Michael has prepared a motorbike for me".
Larry just nodded and went back to enjoying his breakfast.
After breakfast and saying goodbye to Zian, Sophia came out and saw the motorbike that had been prepared for her.
The color red suits her very well, therefore she feels very happy. Sophia left for campus full of enthusiasm and good mood. Besides, she had forgotten about yesterday's events so she was even more excited.
University FBI.
It didn't take long, Sophia finally arrived at the campus. Just as she was about to park her motorbike, she suddenly saw George and Vio coming.
As usual Vio shows off her affection. However, Sophia ignored them because she didn't want to create any rumors in her workplace.
"Shopia, wait! Can we talk for a minute?". George stopped Sophia who was about to walk towards the main entrance of the campus.
Sophia immediately stopped while looking at George and Vio who were already parallel to her.
"George… Why do you want to talk to her? Are you still in love with her?". Vio whispered in annoyance while holding George's hand.
George let go of Vio's hand without answering her question. Vio was getting annoyed.
"Just give me five minutes!". said George again with a pleading expression.
Vio was getting more and more furious, there was a fireball in her eyes that very second.
"George… If you talk to her then I will be furious with you". Vio whispered again while threatening George.
Hearing Vio's threat, George immediately looked at her sarcastically as he said, "You are only my wife and not my boss! Therefore, you better come in and let me talk to Sophia because I have important business with her".
Vio felt struck by lightning, her expression darkened, she gave Sophia a death glare for making George ignore her.
Seeing the debate between Vio and George made Sophia look at Vio pityingly. Even then she was grateful that she didn't marry a man like George.
Unlike Michael, even though since they were in school Michael was known as a cold-blooded wolf, but he never shouted or ignored Sophia's feelings. Even today, Michael remains the same as eight years ago.
After talking to Vio, George turned his head back to Sophia, who had been silent all this while watching them.
"How about it, Sophia?".
"Tell me, what do you want?" Sophia finally opened her mouth. She doesn't like small talk so she gets straight to the point.
Sophia gave George a chance to talk because she didn't want to be chased again for the same reason. Sophia knew George quite well as an ambitious and reckless man.
"Look, can you meet me with Mr. Jhon?". George asked in a soft voice.
Sophia smiled bitterly at George because she had already guessed that George was still interested in John.
"I'm not that close. So don't ask me about the impossible! Well then, five minutes have passed, I'll be in! Excuse me". After answering George's question briefly, Sophia quickly entered before George stopped her again.
George clenched his fists, but he couldn't force Sophia. Therefore he immediately left without paying attention to Vio who had been burning with anger.
"George…". Vio shouted. However, George continued to walk towards his car in annoyance.
Vio couldn't possibly chase George because he had to attend a meeting today.. Therefore, he took a deep breath and quickly followed Sophia.
