Chapter 89 Emotional Comfort


    "I''m here." It was the first time for Colin to see Sophia like this. She became soft and acted spoiled.


    Maybe Herring was right. Sophia was like a cup of old tea, which was tasted better as time passed by.


    Someone was knocking on the lounge door. Colin loosened his hold on Sophia and opened it to find


    Gillian.


    Gillian handed him the brown sugar water. "Mr. Li, it''s ready."


    "Thank you, Mr. Huo." Colin replied warmly.


    Gillian was a bit surprised. "You''re wee, Mr. Li."


    When Gin first met Colin, he was a calm person. But for some reason, he changed recently. He was


    usually serious or irritable these days. He rarely saw him so warm and gentle.


    As Gillian left, Colin took the warm sugar water and sat down next to Sophia. "Wait a minute. It''s still a


    bit hot."


    Sophia nodded gently. "Okay."


    Sophia looked up at the man who held her in his arms. She never thought Colin could be so good to


    her.


    He was being so kind, she thought she was dreaming. When she was in pain, warm hugs and


    emotionalfort were better than anything else.


    "Why didn''t you tell me earlier?" Colin was slightly unhappy about this.


    Sophia was speechless for a long time. After taking a bold look at Colin, she spoke pitifully, "I''m not


    feeling well now. Are you really going to me me?"


    The saying was right. A spoiled woman enjoyed a better life!


    Right! Colin kissed her on the forehead. "No, I''m not ming you. Next time, tell me in advance if


    you''re ufortable or if anything is wrong."


    Sophia smiled. She rested her head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. "Why should I tell


    you? You''re not a doctor."


    Colin paused. "At the very least, I can give you a leave and you don''t have to endure the pain at work."


    Fine! "Okay, I know."


    "How did you get through it before?" She had been in Z Country for about three or four months. How


    did she get through it then?


    "I filed for leave during the first two months. But this month, I''ve already asked for a 3-day leave to go


    to A Country. I decided not to ask for more leaves this month. I was thinking I could get through it."


    But she couldn''t get through it at all, or she wouldn''t be rolling on the bed in pain.


    "Who told you that you can''t ask for more leaves after taking three days off?" There was no such a rule


    in SL Group.


    Embarrassed, Sophia answered in a low voice, "Thepany will deduct my sry if I ask for more


    leaves." The longer she stayed off work, the more deductions she would get in her sry. She didn''t


    want to take home a small sry on her next payday.


    The system was designed to target employees who asked for leaves frequently despite not having a


    proper reason.


    Colin waspletely dumbstruck. "Are you keeping my check as an antique?"


    "No. I''ll use that money..." Talking to Colin seemed to distract Sophia from the pain. She felt much


    better now.


    "I''ve told you before that you can ask me for more money anytime. I won''t allow you to hurt yourself or


    trouble yourself when ites to money." Colin chastised her in a serious tone, as if he was lecturing


    her.


    "Yes, I get it. Teacher Li."


    "Teacher Li?" What the hell?


    "Hmm, it''s nothing." Sophia quietly stuck out her tongue.


    Colin caught her tiny action as he was reaching for the sugar water. His hand stopped in midair. Sophia


    was... so cute.


    He brought the sugar water to her lips. "Try it. It might not be hot anymore."


    Adjusting herself in his arms, Sophia took the cup and drank the sugar water.


    Yes, it wasn''t hot anymore. The temperature was just right. Soon, Sophia drank it all.


    Colin took the empty cup, and helped Sophiay downfortably on the bed. "I''ll warm the soup for


    you."


    It was convenient to have a microwave in the lounge.


    Looking at Colin''s back, Sophia smiled happily with her hands on stomach.


    She put away her smile quickly when Colin turned around. She didn''t want Colin tough at her.


    Sophia leaned herself on the headboard as Colin fed her the soup. She couldn''t finish the soup


    because she had the sugar water earlier. Colin finished the rest, so it wouldn''t go to waste.


    After having the warm soup, Sophia fell into a deep sleep in the lounge. Colin went to work after


    assuring that she was asleep.


    Outside, countless calls from the media were waiting for him. Wade had stopped all the calls while


    Colin was with Sophia in the lounge.


    Seeing Coline out, Wade started reporting to him.


    After the incident, Jamie had been dismissed and left SL Group. Everyone present had been penalized


    a month''s bonus for making a riot.


    However, someone had taken a photo of Colin and Sophia in the elevator. The photo was uploaded on


    the Inte and had gone viral through the media.


    Now, a lot of people on the Inte were talking about the news that the CEO of thergest regional in


    SL Group had married an ordinary girl.


    The photo of Colin embracing Sophia in the elevator had been included in the news.


    Many people wondered if Colin was a yboy or if Le was a mistress.


    No matter who was responsible, Sophia was the victim. Arge number of reporters were waiting to


    interview her.


    Moreover, people have started digging more information about Sophia''s family background and past.


    Although Colin only announced it in thepany, the whole world now knew about his marriage.


    Colin didn''t show any emotion after he was updated on the situation. Wade asked, "Mr. Li, do you want


    to hold a press conference?"


    "No. There''s no need to hold a press conference about my private affairs."


    "Yes, Sir."


    "Is there any rumor about Sophia on the Inte?" Colin knew the power of public opinion, and he


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    feared it might hurt Sophia.


    He usually kept a low profile, he didn''t expect to catch so much attention from the media about his


    marriage.


    "There are some rumors made up byizens. But if the situation continues, they will soon find out that


    she had been in prison."


    Colin frowned. "Send someone to the Public Security Bureau in A Country to destroy Sophia''s


    records."


    Remembering her pale and pitiful look, Colin didn''t want Sophia to get hurt again.


    He hadn''t found the maid from the Lien family yet. The direct way to protect Sophia was to destroy her


    criminal records.


    Even if people investigate her past, Colin would be able to find the maid. It would be easy to clear her


    name.


    "Yes, Mr. Li."


    Sophia slept until the evening. When she woke up, the lounge was quiet.


    Feeling much better, she carefully sat up on the bed. After folding the nket, she exited the lounge.


    Colin wasn''t outside. She thought he had already left. Anxious to go to the restroom, she left the CEO''s


    office.


    When Colin returned from the conference room, he found the lounge door was open and the woman


    sleeping inside had disappeared.
