Chapter 4: Sold (4)
Yesterday, she had been thrilled after being accepted into the hospital.
Her father, who had always treated her indifferently, uncharacteristically offered to celebrate with her.
Then, she drank a glass of wine he handed her.
After that…
Jiang Sophia's memory stopped there. Her face turned ashen, and her body felt so cold that even her fingertips trembled with a frosty chill.
It was her father who had betrayed her.
What kind of father sells his own daughter?
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Overwhelmed by despair, she fainted on the spot.
Even in unconsciousness, tears continued to flow from the corners of her eyes.
But no one pitied her.
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Sophia found herself locked in a room that appeared to be a makeshift bedroom.
The door was securely locked. No matter how hard she twisted or pulled, it wouldn't budge. The windows were reinforced with thick metal bars, so sturdy that not even a mouse could squeeze through.
The room was practically bare, save for a large bed nearly two meters wide.
Her body ached, but her heart hurt even more.
Sold here by her own father—what kind of fate awaited her?
A rich man? Had she really given herself to some so-called "wealthy benefactor" last night?
The thought of obese, balding, greasy men made her stomach churn. She retched uncontrollably.
The door swung open again, and the middle-aged woman from before walked in.
She threw several outrageously revealing nightgowns onto the floor and said coldly, "Go take a shower, then put these on. Be ready for our boss at any time."
"Your boss? Who is your boss?" Jiang Sophia clutched her body tightly as she asked.
The middle-aged woman responded with a dismissive snort, too disdainful to answer. Instead, she strode over and roughly yanked at Jiang Sophia's clothes.
Jiang Sophia was naturally weak, and the woman was tall and strong. There was no contest.
Within moments, her clothes were stripped away. The woman sneered before turning and walking out of the room.
