    “No, no… Sophia’s tongue was too painful for her to utter aplete sentence.


    Luna understood what Sophia meant and quickly rose to her feet, embracing her shoulders for


    support. “Don’t worry. I’m here. I won’t let him take you away. Don’t be afraid,” Luna reassured her.


    Then, Luna turned to Oliver, her voice trembling with sobs. “Mr. rk, please help her. Jason’s a


    madman. He’ll torment her to death.”


    Oliver looked at the fear on Sophia’s face and felt a twinge of pain in his chest. Perhaps he was


    wrong; from the start, he shouldn’t have used this poor woman to test Jason’s weakness and limits.


    Now that the situation had escted, he certainly wasn’t going to stand by and do nothing


    “This hospital is owned by a friend of mine. There’s an underground passage to leave from. Hurry


    up and pack; I’ll lead you out,” he said.


    Although he hated to admit it, Oliver’s influence in Cester City was nowhere near Jason’s. He had


    always been active in Clumond City, only recently moving his operations to Cester City, where his


    foundations were not yet firm.


    But Jason was different. The Wilson family was the top family in Cester City, with much more


    resources at their disposal. To protect Sophia, Oliver needed to avoid direct confrontation with


    Jason.


    Five minutester, Jason and his dozens of bodyguards surrounded the private hospital, sealing it


    tight. When he kicked open the door of the ward to find it empty, his rage boiled over. “Where did


    they go? Didn’t I tell you to guard all exits around the clock?”


    Aaron stepped forward, uneasily reporting, “They didn’t leave through any known exits; they must


    have used another hidden passage.”


    As soon as Aaron finished, two bodyguards dragged in a high executive of the hospital..


    With a fierce kick to the man’s knee, forcing him to kneel, Jason demanded, “Where’s the woman


    Oliver brought herest night? Where have you hidden her?”


    The executive was initially reluctant to speak, but after a few solid punches to his gut from Aaron,


    he caved in. “Mr. rk took them through a secret passage. Please don’t hit me.”


    Jason leaned forward, grabbing the executive’s cor, his voice seething with anger. “How’s that


    woman doing?”


    Not daring to hesitate, the executive replied with a trembling voice, “Just whip injuries and a bitten


    tongue. Nothing serious. She’ll recover in a few days.” That was all the information he had; Oliver


    had withheld the rest.


    If Oliver had been more rational and let Jason know about Sophia’s pregnancy and her heart


    damage, it could have distracted Jason. But Oliver hadn’t gone that route. Some mistakes should


    only be made once; he wouldn’t use Sophia again.


    After learning that Sophia was rtively unharmed, Jason’s anxiety subsided. He let go of the


    executive and strode out, ordering as he went, “Aaron, muster all our hands in Cester City to find


    out where Oliver is hiding Sophia. I want answers in three days.”


    “Yes,” said Aaron,


    Sophia had passed out again on the way from the hospital. By the time she woke up, dusk was


    approaching.

    The room was unfamiliar, and the garden view from the window was new, Oliver had moved her to


    a different ce.

    She’d rather not have any more connections with Oliver. Every time he had helped in the past, he


    had an agenda. She had wanted to refuse him in the hospital, but unable to speak, she could only


    watch as Luna let Oliver make decisions for her, then watched Oliver take her away from the


    hospital. She tried to resist along the way but was too weak and soon passed out.


    Just then, the door clicked open, and Oliver walked in from outside, snapping Sophia back to the


    present. She propped herself up, enduring the pain, and asked with difficulty, “Where’s Luna?”


    Oliver’s gaze darkened slightly as he sensed her aloofness and coldness, and he replied evenly,


    “She had some family issues back in Vayberry, so she left. She asked me to take good care of


    you.”


    Sophia let out a mockingugh. “How do you n to use me this time?” Each word sent a jolt of


    pain through her tongue.


    Oliver stepped to the bedside, shrugged nonchntly, and said lightly, “Haven’t decided yet. We’ll


    see. With that, his gaze dropped to her t abdomen before adding, “I’ve arranged an abortion


    surgery for you,”
