Chapter 0041 +25 BONUS Williams POV : I quickly hung up with the hacker , my irritation mounting like the rising tide . This frustrating trend was becoming an unfortunate pattern with ine . The more the Caroline situation was dragged out , the more short tempered I would get with the world around me . A I would get unreasonably angry at my subordinates , which I initially thought was just from work stress , but no . I even had a nasty argument with Sophia at one point . It was the first time I had ever lost my temper with her , and deep shame had overcome me at the sight of her betrayed look . One day , I came home , stressed after a long day , only to hear the sound of George crying . He was wailing in his room with no signs of stopping , and when I rushed to see him , I realized that he was still in his cradle , left horribly alone . I called out for anyone to come help comfort my son , but the home was eerily quiet . Where was the maid ? Where was Sophia for that matter ? Why would they let a baby stay at home alone ? Taking George into my arms , I caringly quieted him down and frustratedly searched the house . Sophia , are you here ? I called again , but I got no response . Hurriedly checking in our bedroom , I saw that it looked like it had been hit with a hurricane , with Sophias clothes strewn about everyone . I confusedly peered into the kitchen and I noticed that the sink was disgustingly piled high with dishes . Why wasnt the maid doing her job ? George began to cry in my arms again , and to my frustration , I couldnt get him to stop again . He must have been hungry , but I didnt know where his powdered milk was . I was overwhelmed with annoyance . Id had a stressful day at work and came home to find my son home alone , and I didnt even know where his food was . Everything was a disaster . With George crying in my arms , I tried to call for Sophia directly , but to my growing anger , she didnt answer . My patience had completely worn thin and I was at the end of my rope . I carelessly tossed my phone aside , focusing on Georges wailing . How did I get him to stop crying ? My mind drifted back to the way Caroline had miraculously gotten George to stop crying when Sophia and I failed . She would have been such a wonderful mother . If only our baby had survived … No , what was I thinking? George was my only son and I was happy that way . I couldnt let painful thoughts of my own lost child get in the way of caring for my baby boy . Barring the painful memories from my mind , I decided to speak to him like Caroline had so lovingly spoken to her belly many times . 1/3 Chapter 0041 Hey , little guy , I crooned , rubbing my hand gently over his head . Its going to be okay . Daddys here . George tearfully whined and squirmed in his swaddling , but finally started to settle down . He still looked hungry , but the gentle comfort kept the crying at bay . I heard the front door suddenly open and I sighed in relief . At last , someone could help me find Georges food . I marched to the front entrance with lingering frustration , only to see Sophia with a tired look on her face . Sophia ! Sophia yelped in surprise and looked over at me with confusingly wide eyes . She even looked a bit frightened to see me . William ! she greeted , her voice tinged with nervousness , werent you working late tonight ? We shelved the project for tomorrow , I replied , exhausted . Why is nobody home ? Wheres the maid ? Oh , I fired her , Sophia replied very matter of factly . I gawked in bewilderment . Fired ? Why would you fire her ? The love of my life scoffed in indignance . She offended me , she explained , a sneer tugging at her soft lips . She called Caroline Mrs. Anderson , did you know that ? How should I be expected to take that ? I told her to get out . Im going to be your wife , after all , arent I ? I pinched the bridge of my nose in rising impatience while rocking George in my other arm . Listen , I know she made a mistake , but you cant just fire her ! She helps watch our child , and George was left all alone . Where were you , anyway ? Sophia looked offended that I was rightfully putting the blame on her all of the sudden . I was just going out for a walk ! she excused . I didnt know that George would start crying in such a short amount of time . I could feel my frustration with Sophia rising by the second . You shouldnt have left him alone ! The house is a mess because you fired the staff without my permission . What were you thinking ? Tears brimmed in Sofias eyes and she looked shocked that I was speaking to her so angrily . William , youve been acting more and more strangely over the past few days , she whispered , messily wiping away her tears . Youve never treated me like this before ! My heart melted at the sight of my love crying . Hey , look , Im sorry . I didnt mean to talk to you like that . I caringly reached out to her , but she turned her head and snatched George out of my arms . Dont touch me , she snapped , holding our whining baby close . Just give me some space . We both need time to calm down . I silently watched her leave , my heart warring with itself . I didnt know whether to be rightfully frustrated or apologetic for speaking to her like I had . The exhaustion over the 2/3 +25 BONUS whole situation was too overwhelming . To my surprise , I got a text on my phone . Who was messaging me at this time of night ? My interest was piqued when I saw it was from the hacker Id hired . Anderson , I searched the hospital and found Carolines ward number . Apparently shes still there at this moment . It seems like one specific doctor has been looking after her all this time .
