Chapter 29
As a doctor, she knew she shouldn’t let personal gain cloud her judgment. Yet, in this harsh reality, she had no other choice. If she didn’t go with the Now, she wouldn’t even know what hit her.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Sophia is just on her period, nothing together,” Hannah said.
hing serious.
But she’s a bit frail right now. You’ve gotta case up on her when you’re
That last bit she shouldn’t have said, but out of guilt, she felt compelled to give a heads–up, hoping it would spare Sophia some grief.
Jason didn’t suspect a thing. He slowly got up from the sofa and asked, “Is she awake yet?”
t yet, but soon,” replied Hannah.
“Not yet.
Jason closed his laptop and headed out, planning on keeping Sophia company until she woke. They needed to talk it out chill–like. If Sophia really didn’t want to raise Ada’s baby, he wouldn’t force her. Anyway, the baby could just as well be raised by his parents if it came to that..
However, he had just left the room when a maid came up to him, anxious. “Mr. Jason, Miss Ada’s heart condition has flared up again. The doctor says it’s because of the stress from falling into the water earlier today, and her situation is critical. They’re trying to save her now.”
Upon hearing about Ada’s heart trouble, Jason immediately turned and rushed to her room,
In the dead of night, Sophia awoke from her unconscious state. The room was lit with a warm yellow light, which made her look less pale. Struggling to sit up, she instinctively looked down and noticed she was wearing a nightgown loosely open at the neck. Her delicate skin was covered in marks, and a wave of humiliation washed over her.
Recalling the intense pain in her belly before blacking out, Sophia quickly lifted the covers to check herself. A dull pain hummed in her belly, and she saw bloodstains on her undies. She wasn’t sure whether the baby was fine.
Logically. Jason would’ve been clued in about her being pregnant after taking her to the doctor. But it seemed he was unaware. Did he just leave me in this room without checking on me? Could he be that heartless?‘ After pondering for a moment, she began to feel around the bed for her phone.
Before coming to the Wilson Mansion that day, she had promised Luna that she would call to check in, whether she returned that night or not. It was late now, and if she didn’t call back, Luna would probably be up all night worrying.
She looked around the room and couldn’t find her phone. After a moment’s hesitation, she still got out of bed. As soon as her feet hit the floor, a sharp pain ripped through her, all from Jason’s ruthless indulgence. Clenching her fists tightly, she bore the pain and stepped out of the room.
The corridor was silent at this late hour. She walked along, supporting herself against the wall, when she heard Ada’s seductive voice. “Jason, my heart is getting weaker. Do you think I’ll die**
Through the slightly ajar door, Sophia saw Jason standing by the bed, back to the door, cradling Ada in one hand, and Ada’s arms were wrapped around his neck. They seemed very close and intimate. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Maybe I’m really wrong for coming between them, and I deserve this pain. Sophia thought.
Inside the room, Ada kept pretending to be weak. “Jason, do you think I’ll live to see our child born? The doctor said my heart is seriously overloaded, and I could die at any time”
Jason rubbed her head soothingly, unable to harden his heart against this woman who once saved his life. “Don’t think like that. I’ll get the best cardiologists in the world to take care of you. You’ll get better”
Ada clung to his neck, starting to cry. “It doesn’t matter if I die. Dying for someone I love is bliss. But I just can’t let go of the baby inside me. What if you and Sophia have a child, and you don’t love mine! I really can’t accept that.”
Jason’s brow furrowed with impatience flashing in his eyes. He said calmly. “Sophia and I will never have a child.”
Chitsade, Sophia froze when she heard this. Never have a child? What does he mean by that? she wondered.
