Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1456 Daphne Fell Down

Sonia didn't decline. Since she had already tried so many dresses, there was no harm in trying another one

When Sonia took the dress from Julia, their hands accidentally touched

Both were stunned as they looked into each other's eyes.

The difference was that Sonia was feeling mixed emotions while Julia was excited and happy.

Julia was looking at Sonia so passionately that it felt like she was trying to melt Sonia with her gaze.

As Sonia wasn't used to being stared at, she quickly lowered her head and left with the dress.

Mary approached Julia and asked, "What's the matter?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"I just touched Sonny's hand." Julia looked at her hand while grinning.

Meanwhile, Mary felt her lips twitching. She wanted to say, Is this necessary? What's there to be so happy about touching her hand? She then realized Julia and Sonia's relationship and couldn't bring herself to say those words anymore.

Julia hoped to identify herself as Sonia's mother and wanted Sonia to call her "Mom," but that never happened.

Sonia wouldn't even let Julia touch her.

That was why Julia had been restraining herself recently. which showed how desperate she was to touch her daughter. Therefore, how could Julia not be happy when she had just touched her daughter even though it was just her hand?

As for Sonia, she was inside her room, sitting on her bed with the dress in her arms. Instead of changing inte the dress, she was dazing while looking at one of her hands.

It was the hand that accidentally touched Julia's hand just now. Julia’s hand was warm, which was unlike hers. She always had cold hands.

The moment when Sonia's hand touched Julia's, she felt like she was shocked by static electricity. The feeling was strange, but she didn't dislike it. On the contrary, she felt quite happy and warm.

Is this what having a mom feels like? she wondered.

“Young Mistress Sonia." A knock came from the door, followed by Mary's concerned voice. "Ils there anything wrong with the dress?" "No." Withdrawing her thoughts, Sonia quickly replied.

"Alright. You have been in there for some time now. Just checking if there's a problem with the dress.”

“Everything's fine. I was just thinking about something. I'll be ready soon."

After that. Sonia rose to her feet and quickly changed into the dress before coming out.

When Mary and Julia saw Sonia come out in the last dress, they complimented her again. They weren't blindly complimenting Sonia—she did look stunning in the dress.

All those dresses fitted Sonia's figure so well that they seemed like they were custom-tailored for her. She looked beautiful in every one of them. In the end, Sonia changed into her own clothes before handing all the clothes to Mary for them to be put away. Meanwhile, Julia was elated to see that because it meant Sonia had accepted the clothes.

Even though Sonia was yet to acknowledge Julia and their relationship, Sonia had begun to accept Julia's gifts. That alone was enough to make Julia excited.

Julia stayed for lunch and left with a grin on her face.

On the other hand, Mary was in the kitchen preparing some chicken to make a broth for Sonia that night.

As Sonia was feeling bored, she sat on the couch and watched television. A while later, the phone rang. It was a call from Charles. She quickly picked up the remote to pause her show before answering the call. "Hey, Charles."

"Sonny." Charles’ tired voice came from the other end.

Sonia felt her heart sink. "What's the matter, Charles? Is—"

"She fell," Charles said.

At first, Sonia was dumbfounded, but then she realized what those words meant and felt anxious. "Are you saying Daphne fell? How is she? Is she fine? Is the child okay?"

Those were what Sonia was most worried about now.

On the other end of the call, Charles was sitting on the bedside while looking at the pale woman in the bed. His eyes glistened, and he felt an inexplicable feeling inside his heart.

There seemed to be distress, anger, and a few other emotions mixing inside his eyes.

In the end, he looked away and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. "She's fine. She slipped and fell. The nanny discovered her just in time and called for a doctor. They managed to keep the child.”

When Sonia heard that, she finally felt relieved. "That's great, but it must be a painful fall. How is she doing?”

Tightening his grip on his phone, Charles replied, “She's showing some symptoms of miscarriage and needs to rest in bed for two months to get better.”

"Is it that serious?" She frowned, but then she thought it was reasonable as pregnant women were weaker. Sonia didn't even fall and was just pregnant. and yet she still needed to be hospitalized to nurture her health. So, Daphne's case had to be worse. Daphne's condition could only be more serious than Sonia’s because Daphne was already in her second trimester of pregnancy.

"I thought... you wouldn't tell me these things.” Sonia rubbed her temples while saying that.

Taking out a cigarette from his pocket, he seemed to suddenly think of something and placed the . cigarette-Hac before smiling. "You've_.emphasized it many times to telkyou about such things. Aiso, I know that if I didn't tell you, you wauld still call to ask me about it, so it would be better if I tell You upfront.”

"It's good to hear that you know." Sonia laughed. "Daphne is my friend. How do you expect me to not worry if I don't know her condition? What are you planning to de now? Is Daphne—"

Before she could finish speaking, Charles interrupted her. "Everything will remain the same. She only has to take care of herself and give birth to the child."

"What about after the child is born? What arrangements have you done for your child? What about Daphne?” Sonia asked. Charles pursed his lips and said nothing.

Sonia sighed. "Charles, there you go again. You would stay quiet every time I ask you about these, but do you think you can avoid them forever? I don’t want to force you to do anything, but I hope you can come up with a plan.”

"I understand. Alright. Sonny. I won't interrupt your rest any longer. Talk to you later." After Charles said that, he hung up. On the other hand, Sonia looked at her phone helplessly. This fellow is always like that, avoiding problems when he can't explain himself.

“Young Mistress Sonia, what's the matter?" Mary finished cooking her broth and came out of the kitchen. She caught Sonia's frown. "Did something happen?"

‘It's Charles," Sonia teld Mary about the call just now.

Mary knew about the matter between Charles and Daphne because Sonia had told her. When Mary heard that Daphne had a serious fall, she felt heartbroken for her. "Is she alright?”

"They managed to keep the child, but Daphne has suffered some injuries to her body. She is now in the same situation as me and needs to stay in bed to recuperate. Madam Mary. I remember we still have a lot of supplements, right?"

"Yes." Mary nedded. "Old Mrs. Fuller would send @ver a bunch of things now and then. Mrs. Lane and Young, Master Toby would also buy some and keep them all in the kitchen Theres a huge pile of them, and you can't finish them alone. Wauld you like me to take some out and send them to Daphne?" Mary asked.

Sonia hummed.in response. "Yes, I would like you'to do that. Now that I know of hercondition, I can't just net do anything. Even though I can't visit her, I can send her supplements. Madar Mary, I would like totrouble yotrto help me pick out some that sfiit her.” to

"Sure, it's just a trivial matter. I'll start now." Mary smiled and received her orders before heading back inside the kitchen.

The supplements were easy to choose because Daphne's condition was about the same as Sonia's. Therefore, Mary only had to pick one of each kind.

Moreover, these supplements were rare and expensive, and they were the best for pregnant women.

Mary brought the supplements she found outside and placed them into boxes of all sizes.

Following that, she called one of the bodyguards to come in. "I need to trouble you to bring these to Lane Corporation and give them to Mr. Charles." Once these were given to Charles, he would know how to deal with them

The bodyguard came over and picked up the boxes. "Sure, I'll bring them over now.”
