Second Chance At Love by Iris Mignon

Chapter 23

However, Alison kept her eyes shut tight, She seemed caught in a nightmare’s grip, murmuring unintelligibly.

Jason gently clasped Alison’s hand, comforting her softly, “It’s okay, Grandma. I’m right here. You don’t need to be afraid.”

Alison seemed to sense something. She suddenly grabbed Jason’s wrist and raised her voice, crying, “Sophia… Don’t… Me… Die… Words popped out from her mouth, and the sentence seemed to be “Sophia, Don’t. Me. Die.”

Jason wondered, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Alison’s words became Ada’s lifesaver. She stumbled to the bed and exclaimed angrily, “Jason, did you hear that? Alison said ‘Alison said, “Sophia, Don’t let me die.” She pondered, “If I’m right, Alison meant to say, ‘Sophia, Don’t come over. Let me die. Yet, she didn’t finish her sentence, giving me the chance to twist the truth.”

Upon hearing Ada’s words, Jason frowned and persisted in gently calling out to Alison, “Grandma, can you open your eyes? We can talk about anything you want.”

Ada’s heart beat faster again, and her sinister gaze locked firmly on Alison’s face. She quietly whispered a prayer, desperately hoping that Alison was experiencing terminal lucidity.

Alison let out another anguished scream, “Sophia, don’t!” Then, she collapsed back onto her pillow, slipping into a deep coma.

Jason turned to the doctor beside him, his expression sullen, and asked angrily, “What’s going on with my grandma?”
