Chapter 29
Seeing her precious daughter fall, Ursa was also startled. She hurriedly rushed over to help Laura, saying, “Sweetie, are you okay?”
“Mom, it hurts so much!” Laura said, tears streaming down due to the pain. After she was helped up, she cried loudly. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she discovered that her chin was extremely painful.
At this moment, Ursa could not help but widen her eyes, saying, “Oh my God! Laura, you are bleeding!”
This was an extremely serious issue. Laura had a blood disease. Everyone in the family usually protected her as if she were an endangered animal. Their greatest fear was any break or injury in her skin. Because once she got hurt, the bleeding would be hard to stop. She would very likely require a significant amount of blood transfusion.
Russell was also frightened. He hurriedly rushed over. “Oh no,” he said. Then, he said to the butler, “Get the car ready quickly! Take Laura to the hospital!”
Laura’s injury was an extremely significant matter in this family. At this moment, Russell did not care about anything else.
Seeing that the Bourn family was in chaos, Rebecca could not help but sigh and say, “Since it’s like this, go to the hospital. We are not here at the right time. We’ll leave first.”
Ursa, however, was furious. “You people were the ones that injured my daughter!” she said. “You want to just leave like this? No way!”
Rebecca frowned. She thought, ‘Is this couple of the Bourn family mentally ill? It’s not like I injured. Laura. Unable to do anything else, she turned around and shifted the blame, saying, “Roger, you’re also at fault. How come you didn’t move out of the way a little for Miss Bourn? You ended up injuring her.”
Upon hearing Rebecca’s words, Sophie could not help but look displeased. “Rebecca, did you forget that Roger can’t see?” she said. “Just now, Laura was the one who tried to push him and ended up losing her balance. Thank goodness she didn’t knock Roger down. If she had, Roger might have been the one who’s injured now. How will you answer to Norman when you go back?”
“This…” Rebecca was immediately left speechless. She could only turn around with dissatisfaction to look at Ursa.
Ursa instantly became anxious. “What do you mean?” she asked. “It’s clearly the incident you people caused, and now you blame us?”
Seeing Ursa still arguing with the Nicholls family, Russell got furious. “Enough!” he said. “Hurry up

and take Laura to the hospital!”
After that, Russell swiftly lifted Laura in his arms and rushed outside. Harriet hurriedly followed as well.
Seeing the situation, Ursa did not have time to argue with them any longer. Instead, she reached out to pull Sophie and said, “You’ve got to come to the hospital with us! If Laura needs it, you have to immediately have your blood transfused to her.”
Initially. Ursa thought she could wait until the end of the month to think of a way to ask Sophie to return for a blood transfusion. However, with the current urgent situation, she could not care about
that anymore.
But as soon as her hand touched Sophie’s, Sophie forcefully shook it off. Sophie said with a sneer, “Mrs. Bourn! I’m not your daughter’s free blood bag. You want me to go and have my blood transfused to your daughter, huh? Sorry. I’m not obligated to do that.”
Sophie had been waiting for this day for a long time. The thought of Laura having no blood and going crazy brought an indescribable sense of satisfaction to her. In the past, even if she refused again, they would ignore her.
She thought, ‘I experienced the despair of getting forced to have my blood transfused several times and nearing death. This time, it’s time to let the Bourn family taste it!”
“What did you say?” Ursa asked. “Sophie, the Bourn family has raised you for more than ten years. Do you have any conscience?”
Sophie sneered and said, “You use my blood to support your daughter, and that’s the compensation I deserve. I’ve been quite polite by not asking you for money.”
Sophie’s smile was radiant, but Ursa went into a frenzy. She said, “Sophie! You really think that by marrying into the Nicholls family, I have no way to deal with. you, huh?”
Upon hearing Ursa’s threat, Roger sternly said, ‘Mrs. Bourn, if I heard correctly, you are threatening my wife, huh?”
of her daughter, she gritted her teeth and:
His icy words frightened Ursa, but for the sake “Mr. Roger, this is a matter concerning the Bourn family. You had better not meddle in it!”
Seeing her recklessness, Roger said with a gloomy gaze, “Did you forget that she’s no longer a part of the Bourn family but rather my wife? Whoever wants to mess with her has to ask whether I agree. or not. Mrs. Bourn, are you trying to test my patience?” He loosened his tie with a hostile look in his
eyes.
Even though Ursa knew he could not see, his unfocused gaze was like a bottomless abyss, making people unable to stop being afraid and not daring to take another look.

“How dare you do this, Sophie?” Ursa said. “You are not visiting us, but rather, you deliberately brought people here to humiliate us, right?”
She thought, ‘I really didn’t expect that just three or four days after marrying into the Nicholls. family, she could make Roger defend her like this! I’m right. Sophie is indeed a vixen! After she married into the Nicholls family, she really has no intention of coming back to have her blood transfused for Laural
Realizing that Ursa had seen through her, Sophie simply admitted. “Since that’s what you think, then yes,” she said. She knew Roger would defend her, but she did not expect him to be so supportive. He publicly backed her up, to the point that even members of the Bourn family could not do anything to her.
Ursa said, “Fine. We’ll see how things go. Sophie, remember what you did today!” She thought, ‘Damn girl. I shouldn’t have let her marry into the Nicholls family back then! She actually uses someone’s influence to mistreat us, bringing a blind man back to bully us. I’ve taken note of what she did today.
Not wanting to delay Laura’s treatment, Ursa turned around and hurriedly left.
Seeing the masters of the Bourn family’s home leave, Rebecca knew that her objective was no longer achievable. She thought, “I spent so much money, expecting a good outcome when I came over, but instead, I got upset. I was even questioned. My efforts were in vain. Not only did I fail to achieve my goal, but I ended up suffering even greater losses.”
Fuming at the thought, Rebecca, disregarding her image, angrily said, “The people of the Bourn family are simply outrageous! If you want to stay, then stay a bit longer! I’m leaving first!” Extremely annoyed, Rebecca turned around and left.
It appeared that the butler returned to speak to Roger and Sophie after seeing off Russell. “Mr. Roger, Miss Sophic, Mr. Russell mentioned that he’s not free to entertain both of you today,” he said. “Please return.”
Sophie was not displeased. Instead, she smiled in a relaxed manner and said, “We won’t disturb you chen.”
Upon going out of the house, they realized that the gifts brought by Rebecca were still in the foyer.
Sophie thought, ‘It seems that she is ashamed to take the gifts back after bringing them here.‘ But Sophie did not want to leave the gifts for members of the Bourn family. She thought, ‘I might as well take them back and return them.”
Help me carry these things into the car,” Sophie coldly instructed the butler and the servants before leaving.
These servants had previously treated Sophie as if she were invisible. But when she returned and caught members of the Bourn family a lesson, all servants saw it, and not a single person dared to
Chapter 29
resist. They hurriedly and submissively helped her carry everything into the car. Geneva was the most obsequious one. She was the first to reach out to help. Even as she saw Roger carry Sophie into the car, she assisted in closing the car door for the two of them.
It was only after the two of them drove off that the butler, Geneva, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
“It seems that Miss Sophie’s days ahead are not comparable to the past.”
“Yeah. If only I had known earlier, I would have treated her well back then.”
The two of them shook their heads and sighed, realizing that it was too late for anything now.
