He gripped her jaw forcefully, forcing her to raise her head, her lips slightly parted.
He casually picked up a cup of warm milk from the table and poured it into her mouth.
Sophie Smith resisted desperately, shaking her head frantically, warm liquid trailing down her lips, creating a pitiful sight.
Despite this, he showed no rcy, pouring the entire cup of milk into her mouth.
When the cup was empty, he finally released her. He snorted coldly and threw the glass cup to the ground.
"Cough cough... cough cough..." She clutched her chest, coughing violently. She looked so miserable now.
Her mouth was covered in white liquid, and a large patch on her chest was wet. She hung her head low, her hair scattered around her ears.
"Miss Smith..." Nanny Garcia finally couldn’t hold back any longer. Regardless of Asher Land’s wrath, she trembled as she walked to Sophie’s side, pulled out a clean white handkerchief, and gently wiped the stains from her lips.
Seeing her like that, didn’t it make his heart ache too?
He frowned deeply and turned away.
She didn’t know if she was being delicate, but right now she just felt like crying, and indeed, she did.
It seed that it had been a long ti since she had been treated so roughly by him. After staying in a greenhouse for so long, a little wind and rain should lead to her early demise, shouldn’t it?
Vaguely, she heard the sound of her sobbing.
He regretted it deeply in his heart. Damn it, how could he treat her like that?
"Mommy..." Alexander, hearing the commotion downstairs, suddenly ran out from his room and stood by the railing, witnessing the scene below...
Alexander raised his little head, looking angrily at Asher Land.
"Uncle, how can you do this?"
Seeing Sophie being wronged, Alexander almost reflexively stood up to confront Asher Land.
He stretched out his little hand, pulling on Asher Land’s sleeve with force.
Asher Land’s mood was already extrely bad, and Alexander’s ’accusations’ and ’nagging’ made him even less patient. He rely exerted a little force to fling Alexander’s hand off his sleeve.
Alexander lost his balance, stumbled, and fell to the floor.
"Asher Land!"
Sophie sprang to her feet, walking up to him, head held high, face full of defiance.
"If you have a problem, co at , don’t target the child, okay?"
Co at her? Don’t target the child?
Ha, how ridiculous, she still had thoughts like that?
What kind of person was he to her now?
He was about to say sothing, but then she directly ignored him and, holding Alexander’s hand, headed upstairs to the room.
Soon, she was back downstairs, wearing a clean dress.
"Miss Smith, where are you going now..." Nanny Garcia saw Sophie heading straight for the door, then glanced at her young master standing there motionless, thinking that if this continued, things would really escalate.
"Nanny Garcia, move aside, I’m leaving here now."
"Miss Smith, you should sit down and talk calmly with the young master..."
"There’s nothing left to discuss between him and now."
Sophie hurriedly interrupted Nanny Garcia, but the nanny stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving.
Naturally, Sophie wouldn’t charge forward recklessly, after all, Nanny Garcia was an elderly lady.
