Second Chance At Love

Chapter 15

Sophia couldn’t quite understand Jason’s motive behind asking if she smashed the bottle. If he had already convinced himself she was guilty, why bother questioning her again?

“You forced me into this. I never willingly agreed to donate my blood!” Sophia snapped, her frustration evident in her tone.

Though Sophia realized her words might come across as an indirect confession, it no longer mattered to her. She had grown accustomed to Jason’s misunderstandings, and adding another accusation to the pile wouldn’t worsen her already desperate situation.

Jason clenched his fists slowly, the flicker of hope dimming with each passing second. ‘It truly was her‘ he silently concluded.

After a prolonged silence, he turned to the doctor, his expression stern. “What exactly happened just now?”

The attending physician averted her gaze slightly before responding, “Mrs. Wilson accused Miss Taylor of being a homewrecker, claiming she was unworthy of you. She then proceeded to shatter the blood bottle and push Miss Taylor.”

Jason was on the verge of probing further when Ada let out a sharp scream, her eyes rolling back as she collapsed.

Upon witnessing Ada’s fainting spell, the doctor acted swiftly. “Miss Taylor seems to have collided with the table when she fell. I’ll take her for an examination immediately,” she announced.

With a nod, she motioned for the two assistants outside to transport Ada to the ward for further assessment.

After everyone departed, a heavy silence enveloped the room.

Jason’s gaze turned icy as he confronted Sophia, still slumped on the floor. His voice rang out sharply. “Can’t you simply accept Ada’s child?”

Jason’s outburst caught Sophia off guard, prompting an incredulous urge to burst into laughter. ‘Did he just expect me, his lawful wife, to accept the child conceived from his affair?‘ she thought.

“You should understand that not everyone is willing to degrade themselves by accepting and raising the illegitimate child of their unfaithful partner,” Sophia retorted, her voice filled with frustration.

“You…” Jason’s voice rose into a shout, his anger flaring as his temples pulsed with frustration. “Very well,” he spat out, “if you dare lay a finger on Ada or her child, I’ll make sure your father and brother suffer the consequences.”

Sophia remained unfazed, struggling to rise with her knees trembling. “If that’s all, I’ll take my leave,” she replied coolly. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Just then, the attending physician rushed in, her tone urgent. “Mr. Wilson, Miss Taylor is bleeding again. Without a blood transfusion, her life is in danger.”

Jason observed Sophia’s pale complexion, but his frustration deepened when he noticed the absence of the usual warmth in her eyes. Through gritted teeth, he ordered, “Just take it from her!”

He anticipated Sophia would reject and create a scene, but to his surprise, she silently endured the blood transfusion.

The bright red blood began flowing through the tube, a sharp contrast against her pale and almost translucent face, accentuating the gravity

of her condition.

In a daze, Sophia felt as though her consciousness had been transported back to eight years ago. Amidst the shifting light and shadows, she

caught glimpses of her younger sell, innocent and full of radiance, inexorably drawn into a love destined to disappoint, much like a moth to a

flame.

If only I could turn back time… Sophia’s thoughts echoed, yearning for an opportunity to warn her younger self against a cold–hearted man named Jason Wilson, who wasn’t worthy of her love.

If I could have another chance in life, I would never want to cross paths with Jason Wilson again, Sophia swore to herself, determined to avoid the heartache and harm he had caused her.

“Mr. Wilson, I’ve already drawn more than a pint of blood from her,” the doctor reported. “Should I continue?”

Jason’s response came after a long, tense pause. “Continue,” he commanded.

Sophia heard his cold response before slipping into unconsciousness. The pain she felt was Indescribable, far surpassing the agony of being stabbed in the heart five years ago.

Jason, have e you ever shown me an ounce of compassion in all these years?‘ Sophia silently questioned as darkness enveloped her. Tears welled in her eyes, their silent trail disappearing into

her hair.

“Stop!” Jason instinctively reached out to catch Sophia as she fell to the side. “That’s enough,” he declared firmly.

The doctor halted, withdrawing the needle before hurrying to Ada’s ward with the drawn blood.

Jason watched Sophia, her breath faint and difficult. His heart constricted with a sudden surge of emotion as he gingerly touched her pale and lifeless face, his fingers trembling imperceptibly.

At that moment, another doctor rushed in, calling out to him urgently, “Mr. Wilson! Miss Taylor’s heartbeat has stopped. You need to come quickly.”
