Second Chances Don't Come Easy Chapter 11
"Mandy!" Sophie suddenly yelled.Mitchell froze, his expression darkening in a blink of an eye. It seemed as though his sullen eyes could tear her apart.Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. She knew mentioning Mandy would be effective. Yet, a bitter feeling lingered in her heart. Only Mandy could affect him so deeply and make him hesitate."How could you do this? What about Mandy? Have you ever considered how she would feel if she were to find out?"Sophie's words struck a nerve, prompting the typically aloof Mitchell to shove her away."You have no right to speak of her!" he snapped vehemently before storming out.Sophie slumped onto the bed, finding no solace, even though she had narrowly escaped the situation. Her heart was heavy with sadness and sourness. She closed her eyes, allowing her tears to flow freely.Finally, it was all coming to an end. Perhaps what had happened three years ago was a mistake from the start. She shouldn't have agreed to that thing out of greed, and n

Sophie was dazed as she was led away.When she saw the familiar building, she wasn't surprised. The only person who could have her taken from Warner Residence was Gertrude, the matriarch of the Warner family.Sure enough, she was soon brought before Gertrude.Gertrude was seated on the large couch. Her face was stern and cold as she looked at Sophie, who had been thrown to the floor."Do you know why I brought you here?" Gertrude's voice was sharp."No," Sophie replied honestly, though her heart couldn't help but pound.Gertrude wasn't one to make a fuss without reason. If she had summoned Sophie in such a manner, it was clearly out of anger.Was it because of her divorce with Mitchell?Sophie quickly dismissed the thought.Even if she and Mitchell were officially divorced, she had never had control over the situation. Gertrude should be well aware of that.If it was about the divorce, Gertrude should talk to Mitchell instead of her."Ha! What ignorance!"Gertrude grabbed s

The door to the punishment room was suddenly kicked open from the outside. As the person saw the unconscious Sophie lying on the ground, a terrifying look appeared in his eyes."Mr. Warner..."Beside him, Shane couldn't help but whisper, not daring to look at the person's expression.The man was none other than Mitchell. He lifted Sophie into his arms in one swift motion and walked right out of the room.Shane followed behind, not daring to make a sound.In fact, it wasn't until that moment that he understood what had happened.The night before, Mitchell had looked distraught after seeing a message on his phone. He had immediately chartered a private jet back and wordlessly headed straight to Warner Manor.Shane had anxiously speculated whether something had happened to Gertrude. Now that he had finally seen the unconscious Sophie, he grasped the situation.Shane couldn't help but sigh.He had been observing them for the past few years, but he still couldn't figure out what Mi

In the hospital, Mitchell gazed at Sophie, who was lying unconscious in bed.It had been three days since he had brought her there from Warner Manor, yet she still hadn't regained consciousness. The doctor said it was because she refused to wake up.Mitchell clenched his fists.Why wouldn't she want to wake up? Was it because she didn't want to face reality? Or perhaps she felt there was nothing left in this world worth waking up for?The possibility weighed heavily on his mind.Nobody knew that Sophie was struggling in her unconscious state, trapped in her endless nightmare. …When she finally woke up two days later, the scent of antiseptic greeted her, leaving her thoughts hazy.She couldn't recall what she had dreamed of, only the overwhelming sensation of blood and gore. She couldn't fathom why she had dreamed of such horrors.In her early days at the orphanage, she used to have those nightmares regularly. They were possibly linked to the memories of her lost childhood.

Sophie watched as Mitchell walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and answered the phone.As he turned to the side, the light cast shadows on his chiseled face. Still, he was handsome enough to mesmerize anyone and make their hearts race with joy.But Sophie felt no joy in her heart at that moment. That familiar phone number haunted her mind. Although she had only seen a few digits, she had a gut feeling that it was Mandy.As if to confirm her suspicions, Mitchell's expression suddenly softened after listening to the voice on the other end of the line.Though Sophie couldn't discern the emotions in his eyes, she could imagine they were filled with tenderness, a sight she had never seen before.When Mitchell returned to the table, the sweetness that had risen in Sophie's heart earlier vanished, leaving behind only bitterness. Even the food in her mouth tasted sour.After finishing the meal, Mitchell said, "I have to go out for a while. You don't have to wait for me."He spoke as t

Sophie's hand froze. A chill spread from her fingertips on the screen all the way to her core.That number was the one that Mandy had used to send her messages.Mandy wanted to meet her.She didn't know what Mandy was after or why she wanted to meet up. But Sophie had no desire to meet up with her.She thought there had only been hatred between the two of them since the incident three years ago. Sophie sat there, frozen in place, with her phone in her hand. After some time, she slowly typed out her reply."Fine."She had to meet Mandy, even if she didn't want to. She wanted to ask the latter why she had come back. Mandy was the one who had chosen to leave. Why had she returned?Shortly after, Sophie received a message with a time and place.…It was the day of the meeting. Sophie freshened up and left the house. She saw Mandy sitting at a table next to the window as soon as she arrived at the cafe.Mandy was wearing a white dress. The sun shone on her, making her look l

Sophie had been waiting anxiously since she got back to Warner Residence. Her gaze was fixed at the door. She couldn't wait to see Mitchell."Ms. Sophie, it's still quite early now."Harold probably sensed her good mood and sense of urgency. So, he poked fun at her.Naturally, the reason he said that was because Mitchell had been coming home for dinner almost every day in the past few days.In the past, Mitchell would come home once or twice a month. Harold wouldn't have dared to say something like that back then."I'm not…"Sophie's face reddened at his words.She wanted to see Mitchell, but Harold had misunderstood why she wanted to see him. Harold just looked at her with a meaningful glance. She didn't even know how to explain things to him. All jokes aside, he was still a man who knew his boundaries. He didn't press any further after that.It seemed like luck wasn't on Sophie's side that day. Mitchell, who had been coming home on time, was late that day.Sophie's ent

"Did you meet with Mandy yesterday?" Mitchell asked coldly. Sophie was stunned. "I… You know about that? Actually, I—"She wanted to explain why she had gone to meet Mandy, but Mitchell cut her off. "What did you do? Do you know she's still hospitalized because of you?"His cold stare and biting questions made her feel like she was suffocating."What?"She didn't understand what Mandy's hospitalization had to do with her. Was he suspecting that she had done something? Did he think she was the one who had hurt Mandy?What a joke.All the excitement and anticipation she felt dissipated. She felt her limbs grow cold as she stood there. "Sophie Warner, I thought I knew you well enough. But you're even more wicked than I thought you were."Mitchell threw hurtful accusations at her again. Sophie staggered. She asked bitterly, "Is that how you see me?What could she have done to Mandy? Was that how little he thought of her?She didn't even do anything to Mandy three years ago

In the basement, Sophie slowly opened her eyes."Where… is this place? Am I… still alive?" she thought.She couldn't see things clearly as her vision was blurry. She could only see the spots of light above her head, and she found the light dazzling.Her pupils shrank to protect her eyes from the light. It took her a while before her vision became clear again.Yet, she could still see nothing.She tried to sit up to see where she was but found out that she couldn't move her body.She had no strength at all.These powerless, helpless, and hopeless feelings reminded her of everything that had happened before she fell unconscious.Her baby, Mandy, and… Mitchell.She couldn't forget the scene where the man had left with Mandy in his arms and how she was left in that cold pool of blood!She immediately lost hope, thinking it was better for her to die since her baby was gone. Mitchell had abandoned her, too.Sophie wondered what was the point of staying alive."Beep… Beep…"A lou

There wouldn't be any country's laws that allowed such a drug to be released.However, upon hearing such horrifying side effects, the woman didn't hesitate at all before she said, "Use it on her."Although the man in a white coat was the one who proposed the idea, he was stunned by the woman's ruthless attitude."Once this medicine is used on her, there's no turning back… What if—" He tried to dissuade her.The woman coldly interrupted him, "Just use it. I'll take the responsibility if anything happens."Listening to the words, the man in a white coat stopped speaking and nodded. "Understood."He was just following orders. The result and the patient's life weren't his responsibilities. It was such a pity, though. Looking at the woman's pale yet charming face on the operating table, he could only sigh. He didn't even know what he was lamenting about.The woman got what she wanted and left.It was also dark outside. Followed by the sound of the door opening, the wall lamps we

Harold sounded worried on the phone.There was an immediate change in Mitchell's expression when he heard Harold's words. "What do you mean by 'missing'?""Earlier tonight, Ms. Sophie suddenly rushed out and drove away. I thought she might have something to settle. But after waiting all night, Ms. Sophie didn't return. I tried to call her but the call couldn't get through," Harold explained the situation briefly.Mitchell's restless feeling had reached its peak at this moment."Got it." He hung up the phone and left the hospital.In the emergency room, Mandy was still in a coma, having no idea that Mitchell had left.Although she was the one who had planned everything, she stabbed herself forcefully to make it seem more convincing. Besides, she stabbed herself a little longer before Mitchell arrived to show that she had suffered from excessive blood loss. Although her life was not in danger at the moment, her condition wasn't good either. On the other side, Sophie was in a mo

She couldn't wait longer to be saved. However, the phone in front of her was still dialing. Mitchell didn't pick up her call.He chose Mandy.Sophie suddenly tasted a bitter saltiness in her mouth.At that moment, she realized that she was crying.She raised her teary and blurry eyes. Through the mist, she saw Mitchell lifting Mandy, who was lying on the ground, outside. That cold man looked worried."Mitch, you're finally here…" She heard Mandy's weak yet joyful voice."Stop talking. Let me take you to the hospital now."She also heard the man's voice which was slow yet tense.She struggled to make a hoarse sound and silently called the man's name, hoping he could notice her behind the wall. And their child…However, that man, who had said he wanted to live happily and have a child with her, was only worried about Mandy in his arms at the moment. He lifted Mandy and hurriedly left the warehouse without even looking in her direction.She could even clearly spot her glasse

She wondered if she would die there that day. Sophie had no idea what others would think before they died. Right now, she could only think about the baby inside her. That poor, barely three-month-old baby, who didn't even have the chance to see the world.She thought it was all her fault.She wouldn't have fallen into Mandy's trap if she had been more careful. Her baby wouldn't have died tragically with her.What if there was a chance to turn back time, would she still risk anything to come and save Mitchell?As Sophie was thinking, she realized that if she was given another chance, she might have done the same thing.She couldn't bear to watch Mitchell being harmed. Even if it was just a possibility.If that was the case, she had no regrets.It was just that if she could turn back time, she hoped that the baby wouldn't choose to be her child again.She wasn't a good mother, for she had failed to protect the baby.If the baby chose someone else as the mother, that person w

"Don't worry. Didn't you just hear it? Mitch will be here soon.""Mitch… Mitchell…"Sophie suddenly felt that there was still hope when she heard Mitchell would be there soon.He would definitely save their child."Mitchell… Mitch… Please come as soon as possible…" she muttered secretly. She had never been so eager for Mitchell to appear in front of her as she was at the moment.She didn't even realize why Mitchell, who was supposed to still be unconscious, would be able to answer Mandy's call.She only hoped that Mitchell would arrive sooner and save her baby.Mandy was extremely jealous as she saw the glint of hope in Sophie's eyes. She couldn't fathom what right Sophie had that made her deserve such special treatment from Mitchell.Sophie was just a lowly orphan. She wouldn't even have had the chance to meet Mitchell for the rest of her life if she hadn't been adopted by the Warner family!Not only did she become the adopted daughter of the Warner family, but she even

In a private room in a hotel, Mitchell watched the people, who were still chatting and toasting at the dining table. Feeling annoyed, he slightly furrowed his brows.For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy since just now. He felt like something was about to happen.It happened that he had to entertain several important customers that day.When the conversation paused, he told them he was going to smoke and left the private room.Leaning against the wall in the corridor, he rubbed his forehead to reduce the uneasy feeling. He took out his phone and intended to call Sophie.For some reason, he wanted to hear her voice at that moment. However, the call wouldn't go through.Mitchell started to feel uneasy again. He attempted to call Harold but his phone was showing no signal.It turned out that he had no signal there.Feeling relieved, Mitchell took his phone and walked to the end of the corridor, where his phone finally showed a full signal bar.When he was about to call

She swayed and only managed to glance at Mandy before she completely lost consciousness...The tall man was gone when Sophie woke up.She was bound with ropes, surrounded by high piles of debris. She seemed to be kept at the back of the abandoned warehouse.Sophie heard a voice in front of her when she was still looking around. "So you're awake."Only then did she notice Mandy was standing not far in front of her.Seeing that Sophie had opened her eyes, Mandy slowly walked toward her. She squatted down in front of Sophie and sized the latter up.Her gaze stopped at Sophie's belly.Sensing that, Sophie instinctively curled her body, trying to protect her belly.It was only then that she realized the pain in her abdomen.She felt like something was about to detach from her body. This feeling filled her with sudden intense panic and unease.Sophie desperately prayed that her baby could stay strong and promised to keep it safe. "You're pregnant," Mandy suddenly said. She sounde

Sophie drove to the address Mandy had sent her. It was an old, abandoned warehouse.Sophie had no time to think about anything else, so she pushed open the door and walked into the warehouse.Mandy had been waiting inside. She chuckled when she saw Sophie walk in. "I didn't expect that you'd actually come to meet me."Sophie frowned, finding that Mandy's words were somewhat strange. She suppressed her doubts and looked around, but she saw no one else.She wasn't sure whether to be disappointed or relieved.After all, Mitchell wouldn't be in danger as long as she got to calm Mandy down."How do you want to end things between us?" Sophie asked while standing tall to look at Mandy on an old abandoned chair.Mandy suddenly asked, "Do you remember that bet I told you?""What?" Sophie couldn't fully react."I had a bet with you to see whether Mitch cared about you or me," Mandy said.Sophie pursed her lips while remaining silent.She didn't understand why Mandy would bring up th
