Second Chance At Love

Chapter 33

He pondered if Sophia had been to Ada’s ward and overheard their conversation. That had to be it; he had a feeling someone was standing outside the room earlier, but Ada’s interruption stopped him from thinking any more of it.

“Who allowed you to eavesdrop? Sophia, have you forgotten even the most basic manners!” he accused.

Sophia fought to free herself and created distance between them. Jason, do you find it amusing to make me the butt of the joke? My two years of trying to conceive and enduring so much, it’s all just a laughing matter to you, right?”

Watching her desperate gaze, Jason felt a sudden tightness in his chest. His lips twitched as he wanted to explain, but before he could get a word out. Sophia continued, “Lucky I never got pregnant, or I would have had to risk my health to end it. Jason, thank you for secretly giving me birth control. That’s the only kindness you’ve ever shown me, allowing me to be free with no strings attached,”

Jason’s expression turned grave when he heard that. He had expected her to argue, make a scene, feel heartbroken, or be in pain. But never did he anticipate her being so calm and detached. The woman who had once loved him desperately now seemed to accept his harmful actions so easily. “Does she really not love me anymore? Or has she found a better option, no longer needing to cling to me?‘ he wondered

The thought of Sophia ready to run to Oliver made Jason want to keep her captive. “Heh! You were never worthy of bearing my children. Giving you birth control was just what I should do. Sophia, I warn you to keep your distance from Oliver and just be good by my side, or else…

He didn’t finish the threat, simply pulling several photographs from his pants pocket and throwing them at Sophia before exiting the washroom with large strides.

Sophia reached for a photo and saw Lucas, battered and bloodied, and let out a bitter smile.

Her family, having never been a source of support, was constantly sucking dry the little value she had left. She thought maybe she was a past life, forcing her to endure all sorts of heartbreak and coldness from even her closest kin in this one.

“Cough, cough.” A severe cough broke the silence, the suppressed blood rising to her throat, and she couldn’t hold it back any longer, turning to heave over the toilet, dark blood spunting our.

It seemed her heart injury had relapsed. The attending doctor, arranged by Oliver, had said that if she showed symptoms of vomiting blood, it meant her organs were reaching their limit, and her life could end at any moment. Her final days seemed to be looming close.

After leaving Sophia’s ward, Jason went straight to his exclusive room at the Wilson Mansion. He pushed open the door, strode to the bed, opened the bedside drawer, and took out a delicate box. Opening the lid, he found a man’s ring nestled inside. He slowly took it out and tried sliding it onto his left ring finger.

This

was the first time he tried it on. After his secretary brought the rings back, he gave the lady’s ring to Sophia and carelessly tossed the other one into the drawer, never touching it since. At that moment, the ring stopped at his knuckle, refusing to go down any further.

“It’s not suitable. Truly not suitable. Just as Sophia had said, it seems a hidden sign, as if to tell us that this marriage was a mistake from the very beginning: Irritated by the thought, Jason pulled off

the ring and threw it back in the drawer. He kept reminding himself he had more critical matters to deal with and shouldn’t be distracted by such trivial matters.

The following noon, Benjamin and Camila returned from abroad. Worried they would take out their anger on Sophia and intensify the tension between him and Sophia, Jason sent someone to take Sophia back to Classa Garden carly in the morning

Inside the ward, Camila held Ada’s hand and examined her pale face. “Poor health is no state for pregnancy. Ada, you must take care of yourself.

Ada nestled in her embrace, obediently saying. “Thank you for your care, Camila. I’ll recover well to ensure a healthy baby for the Wilson family.

Camila’s face broke into a wide smile as she stroked Ada’s belly with a face full of affection. “Rest assured. Ada. I’ll find a way to get Jason to divorce and then marry you?

Ada’s lips curled up into a malicious grin. “Camila, I have a plan th ensure that Sophia is thrown out as you desire

“Oh? What sort of plan? Tell for about it,” said Camila.
