Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 173 Like A Moth to A Flame

Drinking two pounds of wine could lead to alcohol poisoning.

The private room became quiet. It seems that everyone was waiting Sophia's decision.

"Mr. Li, I'm a little alarmed by this joke!" Sophia looked at the man's profile with a smile.

In the past three years, time didn't seem to leave any trace on Colin's face.

He was still the same person. The familiar taste made her heart flutter as her heartbeat quickened.

Colin kept his gaze on the wine in his glass. He didn't even look at Sophia. "If you think I'm joking, you

can refuse."

For a moment, Sophia was a bit embarrassed. To avoid further embarrassment, she smiled at him.

"Okay!"

In the past, she lost Colin from her side. Now, he's asking her to drink two pounds of alcohol...

"Miss Lo is a real female hero!" People who didn't know about Sophia's situation were praising her.

Hugh stood up and walked to Sophia's side. "Sophia, this bottle of wine costs hundreds of thousands. If

you drink 2 pounds, you'll cost me almost a million. I don't approve!"

His tone was relaxed, and everyone laughed. "Mr. Pei, when did you start caring about money this

small?"

The person was clearly joking. Hugh also gave a rare chuckle. "Money is a small matter. But Miss Lo's

physical health is of great importance. If she is too wasted to design during overtime later, the loss will RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

be great. Who will I complain to?"

Sophia shot Hugh a grateful look. He was evidently helping her.

Colin also chuckled. Putting down the glass in his hand, he leaned back against the chair. "It's fine,

Miss Lo. You can drink what you want. I'll bear the consequences."

Sophia really wanted to slap herself. Why did she say she was glad to make him acquaintance?

Look, how ruthless he was!

Taking a deep breath, Sophia looked at irritated Hugh. She shrugged and told him in a relaxed tone,

"Alright, I will drink, but if I can't hand in the design tomorrow, I trust that Mr. Li will bear the loss."

One after another, the glass of strong alcohol was poured into her stomach. Sophia thought back to

three years ago.

When they were in Z Country, Colin taught her to drink and engage in social activities...

But he always took care of her afterwards. Back at the villa, Colin would give her a glass of warm milk

to ease her stomach. If she drank a lot this time, would there be warm milk after?

Obviously not.

Sophia ignored Hugh's protests as she drank ten glasses of wine. Finally, she turned to Colin as she

leaned against Hugh. "Mr. Li, please keep your word!"

Sophia's eyes were red. Did he understand why she insisted on drinking ten glasses of wine?

She hoped to use this to make Colin state his position.

She remembered in the past, Colin would announce in public that she was Mrs. Li and that she

belonged to him...

He clearly couldn't announce that she belonged to him now. But at the very least, he could say that she

would be under his protection in the future.

But Colin didn't say anything...

After she drank the wine, Colin still didn't look at her or even expressed his concern for her.

During her 3-year stay in Milan, she thought about Colin all the time. She thought of his tenderness, his

alpha personality, and his sweet words...

It turns out that three years can really change everything.

Her hopes were ultimately impossible...

Gently taking Colin's hand, Dorothy asked, "Colin, I'm not feeling well. Can we go ahead? Is that

alright?"

They stood up and took their leave. She became a joke in the eyes of everyone who knew their past.

Sophia ran to the bathroom to throw up. Leaning against the wall, she walked to the sink and turned on

the tap. Her sobs were drowned by the sound of flowing water.

Has she really lost Colin forever?

In the end, she didn't know how she came out of the bathroom. Outside, Hugh was waiting for her at

the door. At the sight of Hugh, she fell into his arms and lost consciousness.

That evening, Hugh brought Sophia to the hotel. Later, she was sent to the hospital for gastrorrhagia...

The next day, it was already 3 p.m. when Sophia woke up. June was standing by her bedside.

"Sophia, you're finally awake!" June was surprised to see her open her eyes.

Sophia nodded her face pale. Where was she? Oh! The hospital.

"What's wrong with me?" She spoke hoarsely.

June let out a heavy sigh. "How could you be so foolish? You drank so much alcohol that you got

gastrorrhagia."

Gastrorrhagia?

"You should lie down. I'll ask the doctor to come in and check on you." June went around the bed and

pushed the bell to call for assistance.

Doctors and nurses quickly walked in to examine Sophia. "There aren't any serious problems with the

patient. If there's nothing wrong after another day of observation, she can be discharged tomorrow."

"Okay. Thank you, doctor." June saw the doctor out.

When she came back, she found Sophia in a daze. She couldn't help herself from berating her,

"Sophia, how could you be so foolish?"

Sophia shook her head. "I wasn't being foolish, I just wanted to..." She stopped herself. "No, I was

foolish. If I wasn't foolish, I wouldn't have lost Colin."

"It's all in the past. Sophia, don't you have a good life now? For the rest, just let it be!"

Let it be? Sophia smiled bitterly. "I was going to let nature take its course, but when I saw Colin... I

couldn't control my feelings."

"Don't think too much. Hugh said to call him when you wake up." June took out her phone and called

Hugh to tell him that Sophia had regained consciousness.

Within half an hour, Hugh arrived at the hospital.

He looked at the pale-faced woman anxiously. "Sophia, you Ok? Are you thirsty?"

Sophia opened her eyes. "Thank you, Hugh. I'm feeling much better."

"Are you hungry? I can ask the nurse to send some food over." For the convenience of the patients, the

hospital offered meals at any time of the day.

Realizing she was hungry, she didn't refuse Hugh's kindness. "Okay."

June went out and tell the nurse. Hugh took Sophia's hand. "Sophia, you're like a moth to a flame."

A moth to a flame? She smiled bitterly. Maybe she is. "But I still want to give it a try. I don't want our

relationship to end this way."

Sophia loved Colin. At the beginning, Colin was good to her. She could also be good to him. She was

willing to do anything to please him...

A trace of pain flashed through Hugh's eyes. "You should focus on getting better."

In the evening, Sandra had just come back from abroad and came to pay Sophia a visit. June had

updated her on the situation.

"You've gone abroad to study for three years. Why did you come back?"

Sophia shook her head in confusion. "At first, I wanted to get Colin back. But now it seems that I was

flattering myself." She was only testing Colin last night. As it turned out, Colin didn't even look at her.
