Second Chance At Love

Chapter 14

Realizing Ada’s intentions, Sophia clenched her fists tightly, her bloodshot eyes fixated on Ada and her body swaying dangerously. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

That blood donation had cost her nearly half her life, and now this vicious woman intended to use it to water plants.

How dare she?” Sophia seethed with fury, her mind racing with anger.

Seeing Sophia’s anger, Ada couldn’t help but laugh. “Reluctant to let me use it to water the plants? Well then, what should we do? I certainly don’t want your filthy blood, so let’s make the most of it.”

With a cruel smirk, Ada tilted the bottle in her hand, and the viscous blood began to trickle out slowly. Each drop felt like a stab to Sophia’s heart. Sophia attempted to rise and snatch it away, but Ada kicked her, causing intense pain that nearly drained her of all strength.

Ada’s laughter turned sinister as she poured the blood, her words dripping with venom. “You’re Jason’s wife, so what? Even if you offer your entire heart to Jason, he won’t spare you a glance.”

“You see, all I have to do is pout at him, and he’ll immediately order someone to drain your blood for me. Then, I can trample over you as I please. You’re his wife, yet seeing you reduced to this state is truly pitiful. If I were you, I’d pack up and leave, sparing myself further embarrassment.” Ada continued, her voice laced with malice.

After her speech, Ada taunted Sophia by flaunting the bottle of blood in front of her, relishing her own satisfaction.

Gritting her teeth, Sophia summoned every last ounce of strength to stand and reach for the blood bottle in Ada’s hand. “Give it back to me!” she demanded.

With a smirk, Ada sidestepped Sophia’s attempt to reach for the bottle. “Want it? Then kneel and beg me for it,” she taunted.

Silence hung heavy in the air as Sophia refused to yield to Ada’s demand. Instead, she lunged toward Ada, and the two women grappled with each other. Amid the struggle, Ada glimpsed a tall figure hastily approaching from the corridor.

A malicious smile spread across Ada’s lips at the thought of Jason’s timely arrival.

“Sophia, this blood is my lifeline. I beg you not to throw it away, please. Please!” Ada pleaded desperately.

Sensing something amiss in Ada’s sudden plea, Sophia withdrew her hands and instinctively attempted to create distance between them. But before she could react, Ada seized her arm and forcefully pressed Sophia’s hand onto her shoulder.

A chilling scream pierced the air as Ada collided with the table. She had strategically positioned herself such that her abdomen struck the protruding corner of the table.

Sophia, already barely holding on and drained from their struggle, collapsed as Ada hit the ground.

“It hurts, my stomach hurts!” Ada cried out as she writhed on the floor. The glass bottle in her hand had shattered upon impact, splattering crimson blood everywhere, a gruesome sight to behold.

As the attending physician rushed to Ada’s aid, a glance between them conveyed their shared understanding of the situation, a conspiracy planned between them.

Jason barged into the room just then, his handsome features twisted in fury as he took in the chaotic scene. “What’s going on here?” he demanded, his voice cutting through the tension.

Sophia bowed her head, resigned that no explanation would sway Jason’s thoughts. Waves of dizziness overwhelmed her, accompanied by a sharp pain in her chest, leaving her exhausted and drained as she closed her eyes.

Ada grasped Jason’s trousers, tearfully explaining, “I only wanted Sophia to show kindness to my child. But she suddenly refused to donate blood and then smashed the bottle. I don’t understand what I did wrong.”

“Jason, I can’t be with my child forever. Can’t I even dream of a better future for them? If Sophia is so averse to me, how can I trust she’ll be kind to my child?” Ada pleaded.

Rubbing his throbbing forehead, Jason turned to the silent Sophia. “Did you smash the blood bottle?” he questioned.

Sophia’s smile was faint, tinged with melancholy and resignation, as she met Jason’s gaze.
