    He pondered if Sophia had been to Ada’s ward and overheard their conversation. That had to be it;


    he had a feeling someone was standing outside the room earlier, but Ada’s interruption stopped


    him from thinking any more of it.


    “Who allowed you to eavesdrop? Sophia, have you forgotten even the most basic manners!” he


    used.


    Sophia fought to free herself and created distance between them. Jason, do you find it amusing to


    make me the butt of the joke? My two years of trying to conceive and enduring so much, it’s all just


    aughing matter to you, right?”

    Watching her desperate gaze, Jason felt a sudden tightness in his chest. His lips twitched as he


    wanted to exin, but before he could get a word out. Sophia continued, “Lucky I never got


    pregnant, or I would have had to risk my health to end it. Jason, thank you for secretly giving me


    birth control. That’s the only kindness you’ve ever shown me, allowing me to be free with no strings


    attached,”


    Jason’s expression turned grave when he heard that. He had expected her to argue, make a


    scene, feel heartbroken, or be in pain. But never did he anticipate her being so calm and detached.


    The woman who had once loved him desperately now seemed to ept his harmful actions so


    easily. “Does she really not love me anymore? Or has she found a better option, no longer needing


    to cling to me?‘ he wondered


    The thought of Sophia ready to run to Oliver made Jason want to keep her captive. “Heh! You were


    never worthy of bearing my children. Giving you birth control was just what I should do. Sophia, I


    warn you to keep your distance from Oliver and just be good by my side, or else…


    He didn’t finish the threat, simply pulling several photographs from his pants pocket and throwing


    them at Sophia before exiting the washroom withrge strides.


    Sophia reached for a photo and saw Lucas, battered and bloodied, and let out a bitter smile.

    Her family, having never been a source of support, was constantly sucking dry the little value she


    had left. She thought maybe she was a past life, forcing her to endure all sorts of heartbreak and


    coldness from even her closest kin in this one.


    “Cough, cough.” A severe cough broke the silence, the suppressed blood rising to her throat, and


    she couldn’t hold it back any longer, turning to heave over the toilet, dark blood spunting our.


    It seemed her heart injury had rpsed. The attending doctor, arranged by Oliver, had said that if


    she showed symptoms of vomiting blood, it meant her organs were reaching their limit, and her life


    could end at any moment. Her final days seemed to be looming close.


    After leaving Sophia’s ward, Jason went straight to his exclusive room at the Wilson Mansion. He


    pushed open the door, strode to the bed, opened the bedside drawer, and took out a delicate box.


    Opening the lid, he found a man’s ring nestled inside. He slowly took it out and tried sliding it onto


    his left ring finger.


    This


    was the first time he tried it on. After his secretary brought the rings back, he gave thedy’s ring to


    Sophia and carelessly tossed the other one into the drawer, never touching it since. At that


    moment, the ring stopped at his knuckle, refusing to go down any further.


    “It’s not suitable. Truly not suitable. Just as Sophia had said, it seems a hidden sign, as if to tell us


    that this marriage was a mistake from the very beginning: Irritated by the thought, Jason pulled off


    the ring and threw it back in the drawer. He kept reminding himself he had more critical matters to


    deal with and shouldn’t be distracted by such trivial matters.


    Twenty–four hourster. Alison remained in aa, diagnosed by the medical team as being in a


    vegetative state.


    The following noon, Benjamin and Cam returned from abroad. Worried they would take out their


    anger on Sophia and intensify the tension between him and Sophia, Jason sent someone to take


    Sophia back to ssa Garden carly in the morning


    Inside the ward, Cam held Ada’s hand and examined her pale face. “Poor health is no state for


    pregnancy. Ada, you must take care of yourself.


    Ada nestled in her embrace, obediently saying. “Thank you for your care, Cam. I’ll recover well to


    ensure a healthy baby for the Wilson family.


    Cam’s face broke into a wide smile as she stroked Ada’s belly with a face full of affection. “Rest


    assured. Ada. I’ll find a way to get Jason to divorce and then marry you?


    a n that can not only secure the international project for


    r the Wilson Group but also


    Ada’s lips curled up into a malicious grin. “Cam, I have a n th ensure that Sophia is thrown out


    as you desire


    “Oh? What sort of n? Tell for about it,” said Cam.
