That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Emma saw that there was no room for negotiation. She stood still for a few seconds before finally bowing her head and leaving.

Mr. and Mrs. Lily stayed with Sophia for a while longer.

No matter how they tried to comfort her, Sophia remained uninterested. When they asked her questions, she only nodded or shook her head. Even when Lily placed paper and pen in front of her, Sophia refused to write a single word.

Seeing this, Lily’s eyes were full of heartache. She knew that Sophia had been terribly frightened by what happened yesterday.

But feeling sorry for her now wouldn’t help; all they could do was spend more time with her.

They stayed until the evening. Reluctantly, Lily got up and said to Victor, “Seeing Sophia like this, I think maybe I should take her home and care for her for a while? You’re busy with work, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to manage.”

Victor calmly refused, “No need.”

After what happened yesterday, he felt at ease only if Sophia was by his side.

Seeing her son insist, Lily didn’t press further. She expressed some concern for Sophia and then left with Samuel.

After they left, Victor noticed it was getting late. He changed the dressing on Sophia’s wound and told her to go rest.

But Sophia just stared at her wound without reacting to his words, lost in thought.

Victor frowned, “Does your wound hurt?”

Sophia looked up and shook her head slightly.

“Then what’s wrong? Tell Daddy, okay?” Victor patiently asked.

Sophia pursed her lips, pointed to the medicine on the table, and then picked up the paper and pen to write “Olivia.”

Seeing Sophia’s actions, Victor’s heart stirred. “Do you want to take medicine to Olivia?”

Sophia nodded vigorously.

She knew the medicine at home was very good and that Olivia’s injury was similar to hers. So, the medicine that worked for her would surely work for Olivia too.

Moreover, she really wanted to see Olivia.

Victor glanced at the time and patted Sophia’s head. “It’s late now; Olivia must be resting. Let’s go tomorrow, okay?”

Sophia hesitated for a moment but obediently nodded in agreement.

She knew Olivia must have been exhausted from looking for her yesterday and needed a good rest.

Seeing that Sophia didn’t insist, Victor breathed a sigh of relief and took her upstairs to rest.

The frightened look on Sophia’s face when she woke up that morning was still fresh in his mind. Unable to leave her alone, Victor decided to stay with her.

He was also exhausted. After seeing both Olivia and Sophia injured last night, he hadn’t slept a wink. Now he was extremely tired. As soon as he got Sophia to sleep, he fell asleep himself.

The next morning, Victor was woken up by Sophia shaking him.

Groggily opening his eyes, he saw that Sophia had already dressed herself and was ready to go.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

It took Victor a few seconds to remember that Sophia was eager to take the medicine to Olivia.

“Got it. Daddy will take you,” Victor agreed in a deep voice. He got up, washed up quickly, and took Sophia downstairs.

As soon as they reached downstairs, Sophia eagerly ran to the medicine box and took out the medicine she had used the night before. Even during breakfast, she kept the medicine close by, ready to leave at any moment.

Seeing Sophia’s behavior, Victor felt a wave of emotion.

Perhaps this was the bond between mother and daughter. Just as Olivia had worried about Sophia yesterday, Sophia was now equally concerned about Olivia.

Although he was also worried about Olivia’s injuries, seeing Sophia so anxious made it seem as if Olivia’s condition was much worse than it actually was.
