Chapter 184 A Romantic Accident
"What right do you have to scold me? It is you, Jonas Pei, who has caused all this mess! Don't think
that I don't know what the fuck you've done! Why won't my sister come back home? Why has my
mother decided to become a nun? Jonas Pei, are you even human?" Hugh screamed at Jonas. His
eyes were red with anger. How he wished he had nothing to do with this evil man.
Hermosa pulled Hugh aside. "Hugh, go to your room. I'll talk to you later, " she ordered him.
Hugh gave Jonas a cold glance and reluctantly left the room. Jonas was also infuriated by Hugh's
behavior.
Hermosa visited Hugh's room twenty minutes later. It pained her to see his son's lonely figure in the
balcony.
She had always been very proud of her son and, before knowing what Jonas had done, of her
husband.
But now...
Hugh was looking down at the backyard and the gloom enclosed him. "Mother, if you're not happy with
father, divorce him. I can take care of you, " he said in a sad voice without turning to face his mother.
Hermosa felt aghast at Hugh's words. She had never thought of divorcing Jonas. Even though she had
overheard what he had said today, divorcing him had never come to her mind.
"I have no idea... Hugh, I've made up my mind. I'll go to the nunnery. Although I don't know what the
future would be, I will figure it out as I go along, " she firmly said. Hermosa had divorced once. She
didn't want another one.
"But, Mother..." Hugh wanted to say more, but stopped when he saw the sadness in his mother's eyes.
"Your father wants to kill Sophia. Tell her to be careful, " Hermosa whispered.
Hugh was horrified. He could not believe what he had just heard. The rage, that had ebbed inside him,
now swelled into a full blown fury. He really wanted to teach that devil a lesson. But Hermosa pulled
him back.
She understood that Hugh was very upset. "Don't! If your father knows I told you this, he won't forgive
me."
Hermosa had overheard Jonas talking on the phone, and what he had said was the reason for her
decision to go to the nunnery.
She wanted to stay there and pray every day for her two children and Sophia and her family.
Hugh tightly held his mother's hands, wondering why he had such a cruel father.
It's a shame! He thought.
Jonas Pei had wounded his mother deeply. He deserved no mercy. Hugh promised himself that he
would show no mercy at all to Jonas Pei from now on.
The next morning.
The next day Sophia went to the hospital before she went to see Ambrose. She wanted to get herself
checked after what Colin had done.
The moment Sophia arrived at the NO.8 Cruise Ship, Ambrose excitedly ran up to her. Looking at
Ambrose, Sophia could not help wondering how the vicious Dorothy and the bad Colin could have such
a lovely boy.
Being the little prince of the Li clan, Ambrose's life was filled with incredible luxuries. The deluxe pool
had been exclusively booked for him so that he could play with his yacht model.
Only Ambrose's joyful shouts could be heard from the huge swimming pool. Seeing Sophia take care of
Ambrose, Wendy excused herself so that they could spend some time together alone.
Sophia kept a close watch on Ambrose, who was running around the pool. "Be careful, Brody!" she
shouted in a worried voice. "Don't run after it."
She feared that Ambrose would fall into the pool, and since she was not a good swimmer, she did not
want to take any chances. Thankfully, there were two lifeguards stationed near the pool. They kept a
close eye on the guests.
"Sophia, I like the gift you gave me so much!" Ambrose was happily running after the yacht and Sophia
was following him, scared that he would fall in the water. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But she couldn't keep up with him. After all, she had just gotten out of the hospital. "I'm glad you like it.
I'll buy you whatever you like, my sunshine!"
"Thank you, Sophia, " Ambrose gleefully replied. "I'm tired, Sophia. Why don't you come and play with
me?" he asked.
"I'll play with you later. Are you thirsty? How about having some juice?" Phew! Finally Ambrose had
become exhausted.
Sophia took Ambrose to the resting area when he nodded that he was thirsty. They felt refreshed after
quaffing a lot of juice.
Then the little one lied down on the chair enjoying the sunshine and Sophia went to get back the yacht
model.
When Sophia had just got to the edge of the pool, she heard Ambrose's excited little voice scream
"Daddy!".
Surprised that Colin was also here, Sophia quickly turned around. However, she slipped and fell in the
pool.
"Daddy! Sophia can't swim!"
Ambrose screamed when he heard the splash and saw Sophia disappear under the water. "Daddy?
Where are you?"
While Ambrose was exclaiming, a man had already run to the pool, took off his suit jacket and jumped
into the water.
Sophia was struggling in the water. She was choking.
She could feel the water closing in on her. She couldn't breathe. She was dying. Would somebody help
her! Was this the end? Was she gonna die?
Just as Sophia felt that she would suffocate, a strong arm snaked around her waist and held her. A
mouth opened her mouth, and gave her some oxygen. This made her feel better.
Colin held her waist and started swimming out of the water.
When their heads broke through the surface, their lips were still locked in a kiss.
"Oh no, Daddy! You are kissing Sophia! How could you?" Saying this, Ambrose burst into tears.
Thinking that the little boy was perhaps annoyed, Colin held Sophia in his arms and sank back into the
water.
The two lifeguards were swimming towards them, but seeing them kissing, got out of the water.
Colin and Sophia didn't come out of the water until she was about to pass out. Colin got Sophia out of
the water with the help of the lifeguards.
He carried her to a chair in the resting area and the lifeguards immediately covered her with a bath
towel.
"Open my room!" ordered Colin to the lifeguard as he enveloped Sophia in the bath towel.
He had an exclusive room here. Although he didn't live here, he sometimes stayed here to take a
break.
"Yes, Mr. Li." The lifeguard called the manager of the 12th floor through the wireless intercom and
asked him to open Colin's room.
On the 12th floor
Colin carried Sophia, who was still dripping wet, to the bed and covered her with all the available quilts.
He then ordered the manager to send a woman's suit and hot soup to his room.
"Yes, Mr. Li. What's the size of..."
The manager left the room after Colin had told him the detailed measurements.
"Sophia, are you okay?" Ambrose asked in a concerned voice. He was standing at the bedside
nervously holding her hand.
Sophia had meant to "play dead" out of embarrassment when she heard Colin accurately tell the
manager her measurements, but she didn't want to worry the little boy. So she adjusted her breath,
opened her eyes and softly answered, "Yes, I'm fine." Then Sophia began to cough violently.
Colin handed her a glass of water so she could soothe her throat.
"Sophia, let daddy teach you how to swim, alright?" Ambrose spoke his mind, though he was a little
unwilling.
He wished he could grow up quickly so that he could protect Sophia.
Not expecting such a statement from Ambrose, Sophia choked on the water that she was drinking.
"No... It's okay, Ambrose. As it is, I don't swim a lot, " she spluttered. She stole a glance at Colin and
saw that there were no expressions on his face.
"All right, Sophia. Do you feel better? Here, let me help you." Ambrose lifted his small hand and gently
rubbed her chest to help her breathe smoothly.
