Chapter 8

At that moment, Jason should have approached Sophia to check on her and offer an apology, yet his pride as a man held him back.

“Jason, my stomach and my heart, they hurt so much,” Ada’s feeble plea came from behind, stirring compassion in Jason. After all, in his mind, she was the woman who had bravely shielded him from a knife attack five years ago, and now she was carrying his child. Failing to protect her would be morally unacceptable.

“Do you realize your mistake?” Jason said coldly.

Ada observed Sophia’s despairing expression with satisfaction. ‘I’ve won again,” she thought, a malicious smirk creeping onto her lips.
