Second Chances Don't Come Easy Chapter 61
Annie, who previously looked unwilling to be there, was so frightened that she straightened up immediately. She dared not show Mitchell any disrespect after that.Sophie was quite exasperated by what had happened. She hadn't expected to burst into a coughing fit as well.Once she and Hadden finally stopped coughing, the atmosphere in the room was a lot more awkward than usual.In the end, Hadden was the first one to break the silence. "Annie, hurry up and apologize to Sophie.""What f—"Annie's first instinct was to scream, "What for? It's not my fault!"But she caught sight of Mitchell's cold gaze from the corner of her eyes. She quickly changed her tune by saying, "I'm sorry. I… I didn't mean to do it. I didn't expect that you'd fall into the pond. Also, I didn't know you couldn't swim."Annie kept sneaking glances at Mitchell while stammering out her apology.Mitchell maintained his poker face the whole time. Annie didn't know if he was satisfied with her apology or not.

Mitchell cast a mocking glance at Hadden. His eyes seemed to ask, "Is this your way of apologizing?"Hadden's expression hardened as he turned to Annie. "Kneel down, Annie! Apologize to Sophie. You can only get up when she forgives you.""I don't—" Annie instinctively wanted to retort, but a single glance at Hadden's cold, emotionless eyes silenced her. She had never seen him so devoid of warmth.Her hands trembled as she clutched her clothes, and only after a long, agonizing moment did she begin the slow, humiliating descent to her knees."Wait!" Mitchell interrupted her.His tone was cold as he spoke. "If you're going to kneel, do it outside. Don't disturb Sophie's rest here."Annie's face turned pale in an instant.Kneel outside? How could she? Wouldn't everyone see?"Hadden?" She looked at Hadden for help.Hadden remained silent, offering no support.Annie realized her pleas were futile, and her eyes filled with despair. But once despair sunk in, her emotions suddenly eru

"What exactly is this medicine for?" Sophie asked, puzzled. But the more she talked, the more suspicious she became.If it was just to regulate her body, she was already better now, and she wasn't coughing anymore. The last time she had gone to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor had said that everything was fine.Why was Mitchell still insisting that she take the medicine? What exactly was the medicine for? Was he hiding something from her?A brief flicker crossed Mitchell's eyes, vanishing so swiftly that it went undetected. "Didn't I explain this before? You injured your lungs during the drowning incident. The doctor wants to ensure a full recovery to prevent any lingering coughs.""Really?" Sophie asked, searching his face for any hint of deception.But his expression remained earnest, offering no clues."Of course it's true. Well, come over here and take your medicine. It will lose its effectiveness if it gets cold," Mitchell said.Sophie knew she couldn't avoid it, so

Before the ringing of the call could be heard on the other end, Sophie frantically hung up the phone.When she came to her senses and stared at the number on her phone again, she no longer dared to press the call button.In the end, she just smiled bitterly and put her phone away. She was afraid. She didn't dare to check what the medicine Mitchell had asked her to take was.She also didn't dare to know what was wrong with her body.Mitchell had been too good to her recently.Everything was as she had dreamed of it. No, it was even better than what she had dreamed of.Everything seemed too good to be true, and she feared them being ruined. Even though she thought Mitchell might be hiding something, she liked things as they were.She was just a coward!Sophie slowly squatted down, curling up on the ground, and hugged herself tightly.She didn't know how long she had been squatting there. When she woke up again, she was awakened by the sound of a quarrel downstairs. She looke

Hadden's polite attitude did nothing for Mitchell.As soon as Hadden finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind. "If you know you're being presumptuous, you shouldn't have come at this time."It was Mitchell. A light sheen of sweat glistened on his face, and his breath came in slightly ragged bursts.Sophie was slightly startled.Had he been for a run? More importantly, had he returned last night and simply chosen not to sleep in their room? The mere possibility sent a flicker of warmth through Sophie, her mood inexplicably lifting.Mitchell approached her. As he made his way forward, Russell and the others instinctively cleared a path for him, not daring to barge in on the moment."You're awake?" he asked. "Yes," Sophie replied."Have you had breakfast?""Not yet.""Perfect. We can eat together." "Sure." Lost in their conversation, they completely tuned out the family lingering by the doorway.As the elder, Russell couldn't tolerate Mitchell's blatant disregard.

After finishing speaking, Russell didn't give Mitchell a chance to speak and immediately pulled Annie, who was beside him."Hurry up! Apologize to Sophie quickly!"Annie's reaction was a bit unexpected.Compared to the last time they met, she looked a little haggard, and it seemed like things hadn't been easy for her during this time.Although she was somewhat unwilling, she obediently knelt down. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken badly to you and pushed you into the pond. "I shouldn't have run away because I was afraid. I really know I was wrong, and I will never do it again. Please forgive me."Her apology seemed sincere, and Sophie was somewhat surprised by her attitude.However, Mitchell just quietly watched the scene without any reaction. Sophie noticed this and understood that it wasn't her call anymore. She stopped showing how she felt and stayed quiet, just like Mitchell.Russell's expression darkened dramatically in an instant. He had the urge to stor

After speaking, Russell didn't stand up but maintained the bowing posture like Hadden, quietly waiting for Mitchell's response.After a long while, Mitchell finally said slowly, "I accept your apology."Russell and the others let out a collective sigh of relief at his words. "Thank you," Russell said, quickly tugging at Annie, who was still kneeling on the ground. Annie reacted and said repeatedly, "Thank you. Thank you.""I'll take Annie back for reflection now, so we won't disturb you any longer."Soon, Russell led the group of four out and left the Warner Residence.…In the car, the faces of those who had just appeared grateful darkened in an instant.Looking at Warner Residence receding behind them, Russell had a fierce look in his eyes. This was far from over!Meanwhile, back at Warner Residence, Sophie watched as Russell and the others left, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes."Is everything alright now?" she asked.Sophie recognized a simmering temper beneath

A few days ago, Xavier had suddenly received a call from Sophie, saying that she wanted him to help her investigate the ingredients of some medicine.Xavier had been shocked, as he was afraid that she had taken some bad medicine by mistake.When Sophie mentioned that the herbal medicines had been prescribed at a legitimate hospital, he felt somewhat relieved.But if that was her medication, why wouldn't she know what it was for?Moreover, her frequent hospital visits in recent days only fueled Xavier's concern."I'm fine. It's just that my family got this medicine, but they refuse to tell me what it's for. So I'm a bit worried if I might have contracted some serious illness," Sophie said, half-truthfully.Xavier's expression became serious. "Don't worry. I'll have someone check it out right away."After saying that, he seemed to think of something. He hesitated and said, "Don't overthink it. Maybe it's just..."Sophie waved her hand and smiled. "I'm fine, Xavier. Don't worry."

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
