He insisted staying with Sophia to wait on the old Mrs. Lawson at night.
"It's OK. Sophia can handle it by herself." said the old Mrs. Lawson.
The old Mrs. Lawson believed she must have been blinded before. She used to think Cathy was a
grateful and caring child when Cathy treated her a little better. However, she finally understood what
"caring" meant since Sophia began to wait on her.
"Grandma, yes, I also believe Sophia can look after you alone. But she has to wait on you alone in the
day time. I'm afraid she'll get tired. So, I wanna help her at night, so that she can sleep longer if she
wants to." explained Drake.
The old Mrs. Lawson was stunned and looked towards Sophia.
Sophia rolled her eyes at Drake, "No. I'm not tired. Dad and Mom have cracked the toughest nuts, and
Grandma can get out of bed now. I'm not doing much."
"Yes. Yes. You're not tired. It's just, I'm worried about you. OK?" Drake always gave in to Sophia, which
somehow didn't look weird. Instead, it made people think they were deep in love.
"Hmm. That's more like it!" said Sophia, who finally found it satisfactory.
The old Mrs. Lawson looked at them and put on a smile, "OK. It's fine since Drake has insisted. By the
way, Drake, you made my day by calling me 'Grandma'."
"This is how I do things. If anyone, including her family and close friends, is good to Sophia, I'll be nice
to them. Otherwise, they will be my enemies."
The old Mrs. Lawson felt guilty for having tried to break them up before. Based on what she had seen,
she couldn't get a good reason to set them apart. They loved each other and it would be nice that they
would be together for a lifetime. She must have been out of her mind back then!
Bella and William also heard Drake and Sophia waited on the old Mrs. Lawson together.
Bella thought of what happened in the hospital and her heart sank. She pushed William a little, "Get out
of bed and do something! Don't you know you're losing it all in the Lawson family!"
"Oh yeah! Thanks to your beloved daughter! Have you done what I've told you?" asked William
impatiently.
Bella looked at him unbelievably, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by saying 'my
daughter'? Isn't she your daughter? Cathy is spoiled! Don't you think you're also to be blamed?"
"You women are responsible for children, not men! Men are bread earners. Men are supposed to make
big money to support the family! Don't you know that, huh?" This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Bella found it hilarious, "Funny, the bread earner! What have you done to make big money and support
the family? Don't you know where you get all your money?"
"I'm an exception. I must take care of my mother, and I deserve all the money. Moreover, I'm part of the
Lawson family. I have the right to get that money!"
"Right. You have the right to get the money. But did you take care of your mother alone? Didn't I help at
all?"
"Right. You helped. But Cathy is spoiled and out of control, and you are the one to be blamed! Don't
ever forget that!"
Bella got more furious and pushed him on the shoulder, "How dare you! How could you shift the blame
to me? Why didn't you teach her rules yourself? You're a deadbeat dad!"
"Hell! Don't push me!" said William angrily. Saying it, he pushed her back, which had pissed Bella off.
She simply stood up and jumped onto him.
William had been favored and spoiled by the old Mrs. Lawson since he was young, and everyone in the
family was all obedience to him. Now that Bella had come at him, he fought back instead of putting up
with it.
Soon enough, Sophia got a call and was told that William and Bella had been taken to the police
because of domestic violence.
By no means would Sophia want the old Mrs. Lawson to hear that. Her health condition was stable.
Sophia was afraid that she would fall ill again after hearing it.
Sophia sent for her parents and told them the whole thing. Then, she left for the police station with
Drake.
In the police station, she saw William and Bella, who were both injured. It looked like William was a little
more badly injured, because Bella had scratched him with her long nails.
Bella burst into tears as soon as she saw Sophia.
"Shut up! Or I'll put you into the detention room!" shouted the cop.
It worked! Bella stop crying immediately.
Sophia went up to the cop and said, "Excuse me, officer. Can I take them home now?"
"Yeah, but you must make them learn the lesson. No matter what happens, sit down and talk it through.
Don't turn to violence. What's worse, a man shouldn't hit a woman!"
Sophia nodded to agree.
"Alright. Sign here!"
Sophia signed and bailed them out. Bella couldn't make a scene in the police station, and seized the
chance to make a fuss of it outside.
"Sophia, I can't stand it any more. I'm divorcing your uncle! I don't wanna see him again."
William got ashamed and angry, "Oh really? You think I want to be with you for the rest of my life? Look
at you! You're old and ugly! I'm rich. I can marry any hot chicks!"
Sophia was annoyed by William and said in anger, "You're going too far, Uncle William. Bella has been
with you for over twenty years and she's made big sacrifices. She gave birth to Cathy and helped take
care of Grandma. She's done a lot for you and the family. Can't you see that?"
In a second, Bella burst out crying again.
"Cathy? Look at Cathy! She's spoiled and useless. To be honest, Sophia. Your mother has five kids.
Look at her! She gave me only one child! How dare she takes credit for it!" William snorted.
Sophia was speechless.
"As for taking care of my mother, that's nothing. I can get any nursing workers to do the job."
Hearing it, Bella cried harder and harder.
Sophia and Drake looked at each other desperately and said, "Bella, I do understand your feelings. I'll
talk to Uncle William. Don't worry."
"Don't bother! I'm divorcing him right away!"
"Great! Let's get a divorce now! Come on! Let's leave for the courthouse now!"
Bella was lost for words. She simply looked at him and couldn't believe her ears.
"Didn't you say you wanted a divorce? Come on! Let's go get the stupid divorce! Ah, I see! You know
you can't count on the Lawson family again once we divorce, right? Do you think you can fool me?
Huh? I know what you're thinking! You just want our money!" said William.
