Chapter 9
On the way to the hospital, Ada silently inflicted blows upon her abdomen, hoping to worsen her
condition. She desired a thorough miscarriage to rid herself of the unborn child swiftly.
In doing so, not only would she resolve a significant dilemma, but she could also shift me onto
Sophia for the miscarriage, garnering sympathy from Jason. It was a perfect n designed to
achieve multiple objectives with one stroke.
Yet, despite Ada’s efforts, the unborn baby remained resilient against the harm inflicted upon it.
“What stubbornness,” she murmured, her tone tinged with frustration. “I suppose there are other
ways to exploit its existence then.”
A sh of malice flickered in Ada’s eyes, swiftly concealed as she heard footsteps approaching.
When Jason entered the ward, she effortlessly reverted to her usual gentle demeanor.
“Jason, I still feel so unwell. Could you stay with me tonight?” she pleaded, feigning distress in her
tone.
Jason approached Ada’s bedside, his gaze cold and indifferent as he surveyed her, unmoved by
her plea.
“I warned you to keep your pregnancy a secret,” Joshua interjected sternly, his voice reproachful.
“Who said you could bring her to the vi without my consent?”
Ada’s pitiful expression gradually faded, reced by a gaze filled with tears. “Jason,” she began
softly, her voice trembling with emotion. “Be
honest with me. Do you not want this child?”
Jason’s facial features instantly stiffened, his jaw tightening as he absorbed Ada’s words.
Ada suddenly sat upright, a stark contrast to her previously rxed demeanor. Her voice trembling
with emotion as she said through tears, “I knew it! You’ve never intended for me to keep the child.
You think I’m shameless and unworthy of being a mother, don’t you?”
As she spoke, Ada’s hand instinctively moved to cover her chest. “If I had known this would be the
oue, I would rather have faced death under that knife five years ago. At least then, I could still
have a ce in your heart.”
Jason rubbed his throbbing temples, and his voice strained as he tried to reassure Ada. “This child
is our responsibility. I will let you have the child, so don’t think too much,”
Ada choked back her tears and clung tightly to Jason, her heart yearning for reassurance. “Jason,
do you still love me? I know you’ve always
loved me.”
‘Love?‘ Jason questioned himself, his mind swirling with uncertainty. Emotions were not his forte,
and the concept of love remained elusive to him. His actions toward Ada had always been driven by
a deep sense of indebtedness, rooted in her past act of saving him rather than
romantic affection.
“It’ste. Have some rest,” Jason said, his tone brusque as he struggled to articte his feelings.

Ada felt disappointed when she didn’t receive a direct answer from Jason, but she was relieved she
had sessfully made it through the night without anyplications.
“Could you stay with me tonight?” Ada’s voice was soft and hopeful.
“Okay,” Jason responded sinctly, silently acknowledging her request.

Meanwhile, in another prestigious ward of the hospital, two female doctors meticulously examined
Sophia, whoy weakly on the bed, her condition fragile.
A tell, tean figure reclined casually on a nearby sofa, flipping through a medical report with keen
interest. “Pregnant for over a month, risk of heart failure,” the man read aloud, his tone tinged with
amusement. “And, also betrayed by her husband. It seems like Jason’s wife is having quite a
miserable time.”
Sophia propped herself up on her elbow, her gaze wary as she observed the man on the sofa.
The man was Oliver rk, a formidable business magnate much like Jason, who also happened to
share a rivalry with thetter.
Had Sophia known it was Oliver she encountered before slipping into unconsciousness, she would
have summoned every ounce of her strength to stay awake. “Ah, the illustrious Mr. rk,” she
remarked dryly. “Isn’t it beneath your stature to pry into others‘ privacy?”
Oliver smirked as he rose from the sofa, his presence casting a shadow over Sophia as he
approached her. “I find Jason’s scandals rather entertaining.” He admitted unabashedly. “A bit of
tarnish on my reputation wouldn’t hurt if it means I could uncover more of them.”
Sophia instinctively leaned back, maintaining a careful distance from him. “May I ask, Mr. rk,
what brings you here?” she inquired, her voice cold yetposed.
Oliver nced at the p mark on her pale cheek and smirked knowingly. “Did Jason do that to
you?” he inquired, gesturing toward her face. “Men whoy hands on women are truly despicable.
Miss Taylor, would you like my help in seeking revenge?”
