Second Chance At Love

Chapter 19

During this deep winter season, even young adults struggled to endure the icy waters, let alone an old lady over eighty years old,

Sophia untied the scarf around her neck without a second thought, preparing to plunge into the freezing lake. She understood the potential consequences of her actions. Her unborn child would likely not survive, and she might even risk her own life. Yet, in that moment, such concerns faded into insignificance.

Sophia was keenly aware of Alison’s unwavering affection for her, as she hall always been cherished and esteemed. Four years ago, Alison had granted Sophia’s deepest wish by orchestrating her marriage to Jason. Despite the subsequent heartbreak that arose from her relationship with Jason, it couldn’t diminish Alison’s profound love for Sophia.

“Mrs. Wilson, the water is cold, and you can’t swim. Let’s call the bodyguards over instead,” said Eve. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Sophia, pulling her away from the lake. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

With tears welling in her eyes, Sophia stared intensely at Alison, who was struggling in the water. She tried to break free from Eve’s grip. “Let me go!“.

Eve remained silent, her grip unyielding as she held onto Sophia tightly, her eyes locked on the artificial lake’s churning waves, stirred by the struggles of those who had fallen in.

The lake was about thirteen feet deep, and the water was already above their heads. It wouldn’t be long before it claimed Alison’s life. When that happened, Eve knew she would be halfway done with her job.

Sophia struggled in vain against Eve’s grasp, her voice choked with tears as she pleaded, “Eve, Grandma did nothing wrong. It’s all my fault. Would you let me die instead of her?”

Eve’s resolve began to falter, yet the image of her son still in Ada’s care quickly extinguished any budding sympathy. She couldn’t bear the thought of experiencing the anguish of losing her son, so….

“Mrs. Wilson, how could you be so heartless? Mrs. Alison treated you like her own granddaughter. How can you lay a hand on her like this?” Eve shouted.

Sophia was shocked by Eve’s outburst. After a brief moment of blankness, she suddenly realized Eve had switched sides to work for Ada.

“H–how could you? When Grandma treated you so well… Sophia stammered.

Before she could finish, Eve suddenly raised her voice and interrupted, “Sophia Taylor, you will face retribution for this!”

From a distance, hurried footsteps approached. Amidst the confusion, Sophia caught sight of a familiar figure, escorted by several bodyguards, rushing toward them.

The biting cold wind fiercely slapped her face, each gust feeling like a blunt knife cutting through flesh, causing her skin to sting. Sophia’s blurred vision slowly sharpened as she fixed her gaze on Jason’s face. She felt an intense blaze of fury from the depths of his eyes, burning like flames.

Throughout their four years of marriage, she had never witnessed such a terrifying side of him. Even when Alison interfered in his relationship with Ada, causing their breakup, he never displayed such intense rage. Ada’s warning echoed in her mind, proving to be accurate. The moment he believed she had caused harm to his grandmother and his unborn child, he would condemn her to a fate akin to hell.
