Sophia fought to control the rising tide of panic, her jaw clenching as she fixed Ada with a fierce glare, her voice trembling as she demanded, “Did you manipulate the doctor into falsifying my pregnancy test results? Did you orchestrate the loss of my child and the damage to my body?”
Ada’s smirk twisted into a cruel sneer, her words dripping with malice as she taunted, “Isn’t the plan a stroke of genius? Now, you won’t be able to conceive Jason’s child.”

“I’ll take you to the hospital. The baby will be fine. Please, don’t cry,” Jason assured her.
Ada buried her face against his chest, her sobs mingling with accusations. “Sophia’s slap was brutal. I hit the ground hard, Jason. My chest… it hurts so much, my stomach, my heart…
Jason’s gaze darkened as it fell upon Ada’s left chest. Gently releasing her, he stood, his attention shifting to Sophia, who was watching them coldly. “You knew she was pregnant, and her heart was fragile from the injury previously. How can you be so cruel to your sister?”
