Chapter 46
The body spun and she was thrown onto the ground. Mia was flung until her face turned blue and her head was dizzy. Her neck tightened as William
raged like a wild lion in a bloody feeding frenzy.
Mia closed her eyes and gasped for air, she could no longer express her pain.
“You listen, Sophia is the best woman in this world. No one can curse her and definitely can’t harm her!” With a push, Mia’s head was slammed
against the wall.
The immense impact to her head left a blurred image. A bottomless pit, she continued to fall, continued to fall...
“Brother, save me!”
William who turned to leave suddenly stopped and looked directly at her and his thoughts went back to ten years ago.
“Brother, save me!” A pair of small hands reached out with two terrified eyes looking up. Sophia called out pitifully. She was stuck in the manhole
without any protection and could continue falling in.
She was supposed to save him but in the end, she fell in. The young William shook his head and sighed, he endured his dizziness and reached out
his hands. Two hands that had nothing to do with each other would now be joined in life, forever.
He rushed forward and pinched her elbow. William yelled, “Mia, what did you just say, what did you say?” He looked at the person in front and Mia
violently spit out a mouthful of blood, “Kill me if you can!” She tilted her head and fainted.
William’s heart sank and shook his head. No, it’s not possible. Sophia was beside him, this must be a coincidence, it was all a coincidence!
He stood up and saw John coming over. William looked at Mia slumped on the floor and suppressing his voice, ordered, “Take her back to the room
and send someone to guard.”
Mia slowly woke up with a splitting headache and she was aching all over, her heart hurt even more. She had never felt so helpless, no one believed
her, no one bothered with her, there was only endless torture and sufferings.
Her mouth still had the taste of blood. The shattered glass panel was replaced and the mirror reflected a lifeless body. A bruised forehead with
bloodied lacerations, swollen eyes, split lips, if it wasn’t for the opened eyes, one could mistake her for a corpse.
It’s horrible, she couldn’t recognize herself. She closed her eyes and was exhausted and sorrowful. She really wanted to die.
Her abdomen started to hurt but was not as intense as the rest of her body. She didn’t move and didn’t care. She just laid like a dead person.
The door reflected in the mirror was opened and immediately she could hear, “Missus, be careful.”
“You’re dismissed.” Sophia’s voice was soft but intensely triggered her senses and her body twitched severely.
After a “yes”, the room became silent. Mia finally opened her eyes but didn’t move and saw Sophia from the reflection. The reflection of Sophia was
beautiful but pale, looking towards her.
The bed sank as she sat down, she pursed her lips, and then her beauty was replaced by a face of sarcasm, “I already told you, no matter what you
say, William will never believe you. Now, are you convinced?”
She didn’t speak, she didn’t have the strength to speak and didn’t have anything to say to Sophia.
Two heartless people taking turns to torture her. Only through death can she escape. But then, she was clearly the benefactor of Sophia. She
unconditionally donated the first bone marrow transplant to her and now they are waiting for the second donation. Doesn’t she feel the least bit
grateful to her for it?
The room fell silent, Sophia didn’t look like she intended to leave.
She kept her eyes closed and didn’t bother with her.
Sophia didn’t bother and continued to speak, “What a pity that William only loves me, no matter how much you look like me it is useless!”
She stood up and walked to Mia and squat down to look at the sorry state of her face and laughed. She stretched out her hand and touched her
swollen forehead and said softly, “Now you don’t look like me, I like you just the way you are now.”
Mia bit herself several times and then slowly opened her eyelids and looked at her with full of hatred.
“You don’t have to look at me like that, these were all your own doing. I want you to remember forever that getting onto William’s bed has its
consequences to pay for!”
“It’s all you!!” Mia couldn’t keep her silence anymore. It was her that put her into William’s bed so why did she turn around and hurt her, harm her?
Sophia’s expression turned cold and said in frustration, “Do you think I was willing to? To look for a woman to bear a child with William? Mia, even an
idiot won’t be willing to! The damn old woman kept finding faults with me and forced William to divorce me. I was forced to do it!”
Really? Who else in this world can force her? Mia didn’t want to pursue these that had nothing to do with her and closed her eyes again. Sophia was
agitated, “I just want to fool those two old folks and didn’t expect William to find you among those pile of photos! And you shamelessly seduced
William in front of me!”
“I didn’t...” She had never seduced William, it was all forced. Sophia simply couldn’t listen to what she said and yelled furiously, “You did! William
loves me so much and can’t possibly want you. How could it happen unless you had seduced him!”
If that’s beyond dispute, then what’s there left to say? The pitiful Sophia, she doesn’t even know what kind of person her husband is. Even more pitiful
was William who still thought that his wife is a compassionate and kind lady.
People of the same ilk like each other or perhaps both of them can’t distinguish between good or evil.
“Let me go.” Leaving was the best release.
“Impossible!” Sophia easily cut off her escape path, “I have not tortured you enough! Mia, how can I let you go before savoring the taste of torture?
Rest assured that I have lots of methods.”
These words made her hair stand and Mia’s body twitched and could feel the throbbing pain. She smiled palely, “If you don’t release me, I will refuse
to donate the bone marrow.”
“It’s not up to you!”
She gasped and leaned against the foot of the bed.
The two weak and sickly persons looked at each other. One was stubborn and the other was evil.
Mia composed herself and said with determination, “I will die and will never donate my bone marrow to you!”
“You won’t!” Sophia was unexpectedly calm, “If you died, your best friend will suffer. I’ve overheard William and your conversation.”
“...”
“Not only this, but your father will also die. Don’t think that these are empty threats. You’ve seen his gun, William walks on both sides of the law. He
can easily get away with killing one or two persons. Of course, even if he doesn’t kill them, with his abilities, he will definitely give them a fate worse
than death!”
“...”
Mia didn’t speak. Each path led to a dead end. There was no way to continue like that.
Sophia leaned on the wall and walked out and very soon a voice said from the corridor, “Missus, please be careful.”
The pain from her abdomen was more and more pronounced. It was cold, like being soaked in an ice cellar but her body was flaming hot like a pile of
The fire and ice were battling it out. Mia was weak and she was going in and out of consciousness. Don’t mention about getting out of bed, she didn’t
even have the strength to shift positions.
After an undetermined period of time, the door was opened and Rebecca walked into her side. Mia forced herself to open her eyes and with all her
strength said, “I beg you, save the child...”
“The fetus is very unstable, there’s a possibility of miscarriage. You need to let the mother rest and recuperate. Also, don’t take unnecessary
medicine. The child is already very weak. If you aren’t careful, then a miscarriage is a possibility.” The doctor’s words drifted in. Mia lay exhausted on
the bed. Her limbs didn’t belong to her and a needle was in the back of her hand for the IV drip for nutrition and she began to feel slightly better.
William walked in and Mia kept her eyes closed, unwilling to look at him. This feeling wasn’t good and William stood frustrated by her side. His
expression was dark and cold as a block of ice.
He spoke with words that were heartless, “You should have known better. If you don’t harm Sophia, you wouldn’t be in this state.”
What was he talking about? The aggressor became the victim?
Mia was furious and wanted to yell but she totally didn’t have the strength. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. It was the best way to
get rid of them.
William walked out angrily and slammed the door. She opened her eyes and was in peace. Mia scolded herself, “Maintain your distance with these
demons if you want the child to be safe.”
William walked upstairs and Sophia was on the rooftop garden playing on a swing. She had a smile on her face and was in an excellent mood. He
walked over and helped her push gently. He saw her smiling face but thought about Mia’s pitiful state and face.
Sophia was joyful even when her illness was serious, she would think of ways to please him and let him feel how important he was. What about Mia?
On the surface, she was weak and beautiful but in reality, she was like a raw persimmon, sour and tacky.
Why was he thinking of her! He shook his head to remove that stubborn person’s face from his thoughts and concentrates on pushing Sophia.
Sophia turned around and her excitement flashed in her eyes, “Today James came to check on me and said that I’m recovering well and can soon do
the bone marrow transplant.”
“Really?” William wasn’t as happy as she expected. Mia hasn’t recovered...

“James said to capitalize on the opportunity and it was best that we do it these few days. He said that my body is weak and can’t wait for too long.
William, I think we should delay it since Mia is sick. It’s not suitable to do it now.”
Sophia’s understanding moved William. He touched her nose and softly said, “You, why do you always think about others? She just has a cold and
shouldn’t affect the transplant.”
Sophia was his true love and Mia will leave after the bone marrow donation. They will go on their own ways thereafter.
The balance was towards Sophia, he said firmly, “I’ll contact James and let him prepare for the procedure tomorrow.”
“No, we should let Mia get better.” Sophia was overjoyed but continued the act. William was slightly angry and pat her face, “I will decide, we’ll do it
tomorrow! We can give Mia more money!”
“Okay.” She acted cute and obedient and nodded. She looked at William take out his phone to call James. Her cute and beautiful face suddenly
turned into a block of ice.
