Second Chances Don't Come Easy Chapter 18
"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

Just as they started doing it, Mitchell's phone rang.Sophie finally regained her senses. Looking at the state they were in, she started to blush. She quickly grabbed a blanket and covered her body.Mitchell frowned. He picked up his phone annoyedly. Damn it! Who would be so insensitive to call at this hour?He cussed softly but quickly moved away from Sophie when he saw who was calling. Sophie felt the fire in her dying out following Mitchell's heartless actions. She had a feeling that Mandy was the one who called. She pursed her lips as she grabbed the blanket tighter, looking aggrieved.After a while, Mitchell came back into the room with his phone in hand. The lust was completely gone from his eyes. He was back to his usual self."Rest well. I'll be heading out."Sophie didn't want to hold her emotions back anymore. She asked determinedly, "Where are you going?"But she was afraid of the answer she might get.Mitchell, who was putting on his clothes, paused for a whil

Although everyone said that Mandy was the best match for Mitchell and that he had feelings for her and was only kind to her, it was simply not true.Mandy had seen how gentle Mitchell was with someone else. He looked at her with such intense focus and boundless indulgence. There was also a strong urge for control in his eyes. Everything proved that Mitchell treated her differently. That person was none other than Sophie.That was why Mandy had always picked on Sophie. Mitchell was supposed to be her man! He could only give her special treatment! How dare Sophie try to take him from her?Sophie turned around and saw the seething hatred and jealousy in Mandy's eyes. She was stunned but also confused. Ever since she understood that some of the things Mandy told her were just attempts to guilt-trip her, she had come to notice the latter's animosity toward her. She had never understood why Mandy was so hostile toward her. She didn't recall ever doing anything to cross Mandy.When

"Don't touch me. Let me go! Let me go!"Mandy struggled and flailed her arms as if she were adamant about breaking free from Mitchell's embrace. But the more she struggled, the more he tightened his arms around her."Who dares ask you to leave? No one can force you to leave. If I say you must stay, you have to stay!"Mitchell's strong voice had a tinge of undeniable authority to it. "Mitch…"Mandy seemed to be stunned by his authoritative voice and stopped struggling. But she also appeared to be shy, and a light blush appeared on her pale face.No woman could resist the care and concern of an authoritative man, not even Mandy.Then, it was like she suddenly recalled something. She said hesitantly, "But—""No buts. Just listen to me. You're still unwell. You need the rest. Stop overthinking." Mitchell comforted her gently."But won't Soph be unhappy if you do this?" Mandy glanced at Sophie uneasily. While she was saying that, she didn't try to break free. Instead, she snug

Sophie frowned after avoiding the things Mandy threw at her several times. There was clearly something wrong with Mandy. She was acting very weird. She tried to see if there were any signs of pretense on Mandy's face. But she saw that as Mandy was throwing stuff at them, she was also pulling at her own hair and clothes. She had a crazed expression on her face. If that was acting, then Mandy was a great actress.Mitchel also detected the irregularity in Mandy's emotions. He ignored the stuff that Mandy was throwing, got closer to her, and hugged her tightly."Don't be afraid. I'm here. I'm here.""Mitch?" Mandy froze for a moment, as if Mitchell's voice had granted her some clarity. But she quickly went back to her frenzy. She tried to shove Mitchell away with one hand and started to pull at her own hair with the other. "No. Don't look at me! I don't want you to see me like this! Get out! Get out now!""Don't be afraid. I—"Mitchell wanted to comfort her, but Mandy wasn't

"Xavier, you—"Xavier burst into laughter before Sophie could say anything else. "I just wanted to know what kind of man women usually like. It's really getting annoying because my parents have been urging me to get married. "I just want to know if it would be hard for someone like me to get a woman. Why would my parents worry about me so much?"Sophie finally understood why Xavier had asked her such a question. She hadn't expected someone like him to have such an issue. It was truly surprising.Nevertheless, she gave the question some thought. Then, she said, "Of course, a man like you would be able to get a woman. "You're well-educated, have a good job, and you're handsome and gentle. Women love men like you. Your parents must be overthinking it.""Do you really think that about me?" Xavier's eyes were shining. "Of course." Sophie nodded. She felt like Xavier was a very good man."Okay. I trust you.""So, you should be more confident in yourself, Xavier.""Actually—"

It was like Mitchell didn't notice how stiff she was. He said naturally, "I'll head back with you.""But…"Sophie looked toward the ward. What about Mandy? Was he not going to stay with her?The questions ran through her mind, but she didn't dare to say them out loud. So, she nodded. "Okay."Perhaps she was just indulging in her own selfishness. It doesn't matter if he had forgotten or if there was some other reason. If he wasn't going to stay back with Mandy, she wasn't about to remind him to do so.With that thought, Sophie allowed Mitchell to drag her away. She even forgot about Xavier, who was standing next to them.As Xavier watched the two of them leave hand in hand, his expression darkened. There was a meaningful look in his eyes.Mitchell let go of Sophie's hand when they got to the parking lot. She was taken aback. She felt a sense of disappointment when he let go.As she stared at her palm in a daze, Mitchell said irritatedly, "Get in the car!"He was already in

"I wanted to wait for you to come home and eat dinner with you. But all of this is inedible now. Throw it out," Sophie said. "Why is it inedible?" Mitchell asked. Sophie opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Should she say that she wasn't in the mood anymore? Or should she say that it was because the food had gone cold?"Take a seat."Before she could think of a reason, Mitchell pulled her to the table and sat her down. Then, he moved to the other side of the table and sat down. He picked up some cutlery and started to eat. She looked at him in a daze. She didn't know how to react. Noticing that she hadn't moved, Mitchell looked at her and asked, "Why aren't you eating?""I…" Sophie snapped back to reality. She saw that Mitchell was eating the food that had gone cold. So, she stopped him."Don't eat that. It's gone cold.""It's okay. It's still edible," Mitchell said nonchalantly. Then, he paused and said with a frown, "Never mind. You shouldn't eat th

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.

"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.

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.

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
