Second Chance At Love

Chapter 21

Jason clutched his grandma tightly, unable to break away to assess her condition. Seeing Eve so emotional, he could not shake the fear that something dire had occurred to his grandma. He urged, “Take a breath. Tell me exactly what happened.”

Eve cried in tears. “Mrs. Wilson isn’t breathing.”

Jason stumbled backward, nearly falling if his bodyguards had not quickly reached out to steady him.

At the same time. Ada was rescued from the water. Hearing that Alison had stopped breathing, she could not help but sneer with sinister

satisfaction.

She thought, “I was worried Alison wouldn’t drown, so I intentionally adjusted my position to ensure her head hit the stone. I was certain she couldn’t survive such a heavy blow. Thank goodness, she’s finally dead. One less obstacle in my path.”

Ada blurted out. “Sophia, you are cruel! Mrs. Wilson had done so much for you. This was the only time she didn’t let you get your way, and you killed her? Couldn’t you have talked to her like an adult?”

Sophia used all her strength to stand up when she heard Eve exclaiming that Alison was not breathing. She lamented inwardly, ‘It was all my fault. Alison’d still be alive if she hadn’t been poking around in Ada’s business behind the scenes.

Lost in self–reproach, Sophia whispered, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…” Making her way toward Jason, she sought to draw closer to Alison, who lay

cradled in his arms

Jason became convinced that Sophia was the culprit behind his grandma’s demise due to Sophia’s persistent apologies.

Seeing Sophia approaching, Ada screamed in misery, “Jason, my belly hurts so much! The baby… Our baby…” With that, she fell straight to

the ground.

Hurriedly, Eve reached out to support Ada, suggesting, “Mr. Wilson, we need to send Mrs. Wilson and Miss Ada to the emergency room now.”

Jason stared fiercely at Sophia, cold words blurting out from his mouth. “Keep an eye on Sophia. Ensure she stays kneeling here. No one is to help her up without my permission.” Then, he carried Alison in his arms and strode toward the exit.

Sophia tried to follow Jason to the hospital, but two bodyguards forcefully pushed her back down. Soon, a sharp pain shot through her knees as they collided with the ground. Her dignity crumbled along with her kneecaps.

She endured the pain and fought to stand, but the bodyguards shoved her back down. She surrendered after a few futile attempts, her eyes dimmed with defeat. She felt like a lifeless shell, bearing the agony tearing through her.

Ada was not in a hurry to the emergency room. Once she was sure Jason was out of earshot, she bent over and approached Sophia, whispering, “I can’t tell you how much I enjoy it when you’re as good as dead.”

When the bodyguards momentarily dropped their guard, Sophia seized the opportunity, raising her hand to slap Ada.

The slap was not heavy as Sophia was in great pain and lacked the strength to strike.

Ada’s expression darkened immediately after she received a slap from Sophia. She raised her hand, ready to slap Sophia back.

Eve quickly stopped Ada and said in a hushed tone, “Hey, wait, if Mr. Wilson hears about Sophia slapping you, he’ll likely side with you. But if

you hit back, all that work you’ve done to keep up your perfect image will be for nothing.”

Ada gritted her teeth and reluctantly lowered her arm. Holding her pain ridden belly, she stormed off in anger

Sophia knelt on the icy floor, sensing the cold gradually seeping into her body. The bone chilling cold was like a potent poison, noursing through her limbs and bones, mercilessly draining her vitality She muttered inside, Great. I’m one step closer to death”

Jason stared at the flat line displayed on the electrocardiogram in the mansion’s emergency room. He was in deep pain that his facial features twitched Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Doctors had been tirelessly using a defibrillator to shock Alison’s heart back into action for over ten minutes. However, there was still no sign of Alison’s heart beating again.

Jason knew the doctors could have declared his grandma’s death at that moment, but he refused to accept that outcome, clinging to the

hope that a miracle would occur,

A doctor reported. “Mr. Wilson, we’ve done our best.

Jason shouted, “That’s your best? No one stops without my permission, Continue.”

The doctors had no choice but to follow Jason’s order.

As Ada received the crucial IV. to maintain her baby’s health, she pondered, “I thought I could rid myself of that bastard’s offspring after enduring so much, but it seems God is determined to thwart me. No matter what I do, I can’t get rid of that bastard’s child. Well,

Alison lost her life_*

A doctor cried, “Mr. Wilson, your grandma’s got her heartbeat back. She’s come back to life!”

The smile on Ada’s face froze, her eyes revealing a growing fear.
