Chapter 242 Take Sophia to the Hospital

Refusing to back down, Emily lifted her head and glanced at Rebecca firmly. “Rebecca, I’ve told you–Sophia’s a big girl now. Don’t spoil her with everything. Go about your business; no need to stay here. She can eat on her own.”

In the end, Rebecca followed Emily’s order and left the dining

room.

With no one to peel shrimp for her, Sophia burst into tears.

Emily watched her cry, paying her no mind at all.

Seeing this, Gloria quickly turned to Sophia, her voice soft. “Sophia, don’t cry. Granny Gloria will peel the shrimp for you, okay?”

Nodding with red–rimmed eyes, Sophia sniffled. “Okay, thank you, Granny Gloria.”

Peeling the shrimp one by one, Gloria shot a glance at Emily before speaking to Sophia, “Now do you see who’s really good to you and who isn’t?”

Before Sophia could answer, Emily could no longer sit still. Slamming her fork down on the table, she stood up abruptly. “Sophia, come upstairs with me. Mommy has something to say to you.”

Sophia ignored her, treating Emily like she wasn’t eve. there6:49

Sophia struggled in her hold, but Emily’s grip was too strong.

In the end, she was carried into the bedroom.

Emily set her down roughly on the sofa and snapped, “Do you know you’re wrong?”

Sophia didn’t answer–she just cried harder.

Instead of comforting her or scolding her, Emily sat down beside the sofa and waited for her to finish.

Sophia had thought crying would make Emily feel scared or sorry for her, but after sobbing for a long time, Emily still didn’t

move an inch.

Realizing tears weren’t working, she clutched her stomach and cried out in “pain,” curling up on the sofa and putting on a painful expression.

Emily still paid her no heed, letting her cry and complain about her stomachache.

Downstairs, when Emily carried Sophia upstairs, Gloria had instinctively reached out to chase them. But Rebecca stopped her in time, grabbing her hand. “Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Wilson is Sophie’s mother. A mother disciplining her daughter is only right. Neither you nor I should interfere.”

Gloria flew into a rage, shoving Rebecca hard. “Rebecca, what kind of mother is she? Taking Sophie upstairs–she’s going to hit Sophie! If she hurts my Sophie, Nancy will be heartbroken. Let 26 of me! I

have to go check on my granddaughter!”

No matter what Gloria said, Rebecca held onto her tightly. “Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Wilson is gentle. She won’t lay a hand on Sophie. Please trust me.”

Unable to break free from Rebecca’s grip, Gloria finally gave up. Still, Rebecca didn’t let her guard down, following Gloria closely to make sure she didn’t go upstairs to cause trouble.

Upstairs, Sophia cried herself out and collapsed onto the sofa.

Before long, she fell asleep.

As Emily gazed at the little girl, her heart twisted with pain.

Once Sophia was asleep, Emily picked her up and laid her on the bed, tucking the covers around her gently.

Sitting by the bedside, Emily watched over her, wondering how best to teach her right from wrong.

She’d been sitting there for who knew how long when a soft voice called from outside the door, “Emily, come out for a

minute.”

Emily thought she was hallucinating, but the voice came again a moment later.

Confirming it was Ethan, she stood up and walked out.

Afraid of waking Sophia, she led Ethan to the room they’d once Shared together.

Turning on the light, Emily noticed various skincare products and cosmetics lined up on the dressing table.

Even the bed sheets were light blue, filling the room with a faint, familiar scent.

Looking anxious, Ethan spoke up. “I want to take Sophia to the hospital.”

It was already late–going to the hospital now would mean coming back after midnight.

Emily had no idea what he was up to, but she refused without hesitation, “It’s too late tonight. Whatever it is, we’ll talk about it

tomorrow.”

“Nancy says she misses Sophie and wants to see her,” Ethan said.

Anger flared up in Emily for no reason. “Sophie just fell asleep, and it’s already eleven o’clock.”

Seeing her strong reaction, Ethan still tried to persuade her, “I know, but I’ll bring her back quickly.”

His words made Emily even angrier. She glared at him, her voice sharp. “Ethan, is Nancy really that important? Important enough to ignore Sophie’s health?”

Ethan paused, then explained, “Nancy got hit the other day -doctors diagnosed her with a concussion. She’s still in the hospital and can’t sleep. She says seeing Sophia will help her fest, so I want to take Sophie there.”

Emily let out a bitter laugh. “A concussion isn’t life–threatening, If she really misses Sophic, she can come here herself.”

Seeing Emily wouldn’t budge, Ethan didn’t want to argue anymore. He turned around and beaded for the bedroom door.

Guessing he was going to wake Sophia, Emily rushed forward and grabbed his hand. “Ethan, I won’t let you take Sophie to the hospital tonight. If you try-”
