Chapter 15 Sophia couldnât quite understand Jasonâs motive behind asking if she smashed the bottle. If he had already convinced himself she was guilty, why bother questioning her again?
âYou forced me into this. I never willingly agreed to donate my blood!â 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 Jasonâs misunderstandings, and adding another accusation to the pile wouldnât worsen her already desperate situation.
Jason clenched his fists slowly, the flicker of hope dimming with each passing second. âIt truly was herâ he silently concluded.
After a prolonged silence, he turned to the doctor, his expression stern. âWhat exactly happened just now?â
The attending physician averted her gaze slightly before responding, âMrs. 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.â
Jason was on the verge of probing further when Ada let out a sharp scream, her eyes rolling back as she collapsed.
Upon witnessing Adaâs fainting spell, the doctor acted swiftly. âMiss Taylor seems to have collided with the table when she fell. Iâll take her for an examination immediately,â 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.
Jasonâs gaze turned icy as he confronted Sophia, still slumped on the floor. His voice rang out sharply. âCanât you simply accept Adaâs child?â
Jasonâs outburst caught Sophia off guard, prompting an incredulous urge to burst into laughter. âDid he just expect me, his lawful wife, to accept the child conceived from his affair?â she thought.
âYou should understand that not everyone is willing to degrade themselves by accepting and raising the illegitimate child of their unfaithful partner,â Sophia retorted, her voice filled with frustration.
âYou...â Jasonâs voice rose into a shout, his anger flaring as his temples pulsed with frustration. âVery well,â he spat out, âif you dare lay a finger on Ada or her child, Iâll make sure your father and brother suffer the consequences.â
Sophia remained unfazed, struggling to rise with her knees trembling. âIf thatâs all, Iâll take my leave,â she replied coolly.
Just then, the attending physician rushed in, her tone urgent. âMr. Wilson, Miss Taylor is bleeding again. Without a blood transfusion, her life is in danger.â
Jason observed Sophiaâs pale complexion, but his frustration deepened when he noticed the absence of the usual warmth in her eyes. Through gritted teeth, he ordered, âJust take it from her!â
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 1/2 16:53 Sun, 23 Jun GBG Chapter 15 61%
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... Sophiaâs thoughts echoed, yearning for an opportunity to warn her younger self against a coldâhearted man named Jason Wilson, who wasnât 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.
âMr. Wilson, Iâve already drawn more than a pint of blood from her,â the doctor reported. âShould I continue?â
Jasonâs response came after a long, tense pause. âContinue,â 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?â Sophia silently questioned as darkness enveloped her. Tears welled in her eyes, their silent trail disappearing into her hair.
âStop!â Jason instinctively reached out to catch Sophia as she fell to the side. âThatâs enough,â he declared firmly.
The doctor halted, withdrawing the needle before hurrying to Adaâs 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, âMr. Wilson! Miss Taylorâs heartbeat has stopped.
You need to come quickly.â
