Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Jason always believed Sophia’s shameless pursuit and manipulation coerced his grandmother into pressuring him to marry her. However, the truth was that Alison had approached Sophia and begged her to marry into the family.

Sophia could never comprehend Alison’s motive for ruining her grandson’s happiness because Jason and Ada were the epitome of a perfect couple back then.

Considering Alison’s character, she was never one to discriminate based on wealth or social status, making it puzzling why she would intervene in their relationship.

When Sophia posed her question, Alison’s cloudy eyes instantly turned icy. Through clenched teeth, she replied, “Because that despicable woman he was infatuated with was unworthy of being part of the Wilson family.”

Alison’s thorough investigation into Ada’s background revealed the turmoil and chaos of her life, igniting a fury within her. Now, several years later, she found it utterly intolerable that this disgraceful woman continued to cling to Jason like a stubborn stain, wreaking havoc on his marriage.

When Sophia noticed Alison’s agitation, she quickly comforted her, gently patting her back to ease her distress.

“Grandma, please don’t be upset,” she urged softly.

Alison softly sighed as she gazed at Sophia’s pale, delicate features, her expression filled with pity.

But her eyes hardened again in the next moment. “In the past, I worried too much, always fearing that the revelation of their relationship would ruin Jason,” she explained. “But don’t worry, Sophia. I’ll investigate what happened between them in Vrun City.

Jason may not have betrayed you. Just be patient.”

Sophia remained silent, her mind swirling with unanswered questions. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Alison was keeping secrets from her, and she couldn’t help wondering what Ada had done to evoke such intense disgust from her grandmother–in–

law.

Back at the hospital, in Ada’s ward, the sound of medical instruments beeped incessantly, Ada leaned against the bed’s backboard, and her fingers clenched tightly over her chest. On the other hand, she grasped Jason’s, seeking comfort in his presence. “Jason,” she whispered, her voice quivering. “I’m still feeling terrible. Am I going to die?”

Jason’s lips pressed into a thin line, his gaze shifting toward the doctor standing nearby, his tone laced with urgency. “What’s the matter with her?”

The attending physician’s voice trembled as she responded, “M–Miss Taylor was already in a weakened state. The excessive blood loss last night has exacerbated her palpitations. I recommend an immediate blood transfusion.”

Jason’s demeanor turned frigid, his frustration evident as he snapped, “Then do it now! Why the delay?”

“But... Miss Taylor has a rare blood type, and no supplies are available in any hospital in this city,” the doctor explained hesitantly.

about to command his assistant to source blood from elsewhere when he felt a Jason felt a surge of panic coursing through him. He was about sudden grip on his arm.

“Jason, I can’t take this anymore. My heart’s in agony,” Ada cried out desperately. “Sophia shares my blood type. Could you ask her to come to the hospital and save me?”

Chapter 12 Jason’s gaze turned icy as he surveyed Ada, searching for ulterior motives in her plea. Ada’s spine tingled under his intense scrutiny, and suddenly, her body started convulsing violently.

The attending physician hurried forward to assess her condition, her voice filled with alarm. “Her heart is failing. We need a ventilator, now!”

Amidst the ensuing chaos, the hospital room descended into disarray once more.

Jason’s paze lingered on the grim scar adorning Ada’s chest, a silent testament to past events. After much contemplation, he finally decided Stepping out of the hospital room, he swiftly retrieved his phone and dialed Sophia’s number.

“Sophia,” Jason began, his voice tinged with urgency and demand. “After Ada fell last night due to your push, she lost a dangerous amount of blood, and her heart is failing. The doctor insists on a blood transfusion, but her rare blood type is not available in the hospital. You need to come immediately to donate blood for her.”

On the other end of the line, Sophia lay weakly on the bed, grappling with the excruciating pain in her chest. Despite the agony, a bitter smile crept onto her lips as she listened to Jason’s words.

“Why did I have that scar removed during my treatment abroad?” she pondered. Her decision stemmed from a desire to spare Jason from guilt and blame. Yet now, she realized the gravity of her folly after seeing how Ada had appropriated all her efforts and sacrifices.

Bitterness seeped into Sophia’s thoughts. ‘Now, Ada is claiming credit for all the sacrifices made for Jason and exploiting the situation to put my life at risk!‘ she lamented.

Aware of her fragile state, Sophia understood that donating blood to Ada would only accelerate her own death. “What if i refuse?” Sophia asked firmly.
