Second Chances Don't Come Easy Chapter 77
In the ward, Sophie and Mitchell were the only ones left. Mitchell's expression softened a bit. After a pause, he finally asked, "When you called me earlier, were you already at the hospital?"He sensed a definite shift in Sophie's mood but couldn't fathom the reason. All he knew was that he had missed her call at noon. Mitchell wondered if she had already been in the hospital and had been upset because he hadn't picked up her calls. He had no idea why she hadn't told him anything after he had answered the call. "Yes, I wasn't feeling well and wanted to let you know, but you didn't answer." The coldness in her tone earlier had vanished. It was as though everything had returned to normal and they were interacting like they always did. However, something still felt off to Mitchell.But when he studied Sophie's expression, everything seemed fine. He was frustrated at how everything was out of his control.He felt the urge to ask if anything had happened to her but held back

The conversation between Mitchell and Shane came to a sudden halt.Before Sophie could react, she heard a voice from above her."You're awake?"She looked up and met Mitchell's dark eyes.Sophie then realized that she had unconsciously opened her eyes in surprise, allowing Mitchell to discover that she was awake."When I called you this afternoon, you said you were meeting a client. Was that the Jalizepu representative you just mentioned? Were you at the hospital then?" Sophie asked abruptly.It was only after she asked the question that she realized how nervous she was.She subconsciously pursed her lips and waited quietly for Mitchell's answer, and even her palms were sweating."Yes," Mitchell responded casually, clearly not taking Sophie's question to heart. He answered without any hesitation or doubt.Sophie studied his expression, but she found nothing.He sounded as though he was just stating another unimportant fact. Sophie was unsure if she could trust him. A feelin

Clare Gate was their family doctor. Calling the doctor over at this time was obviously more convenient and faster than sending Sophie to the hospital."Alright," Harold responded and immediately prepared to call Clare.Sophie heard the conversation between the two and waved her hands hurriedly. "No... ugh... Don't..."She roughly knew why she was feeling nauseous.Even if they called the doctor over, it wouldn't help much. It was obvious that Mitchell didn't know about her condition. Seeing that she was so uncomfortable and still refusing to see a doctor, he frowned with dissatisfaction."Enough. You won't stop vomiting. What's the point of you acting tough?""I'm really fine... I just..."Sophie finally finished vomiting. She flushed the toilet and rinsed her mouth with water before turning to look at Mitchell."Actually... I think I might just be experiencing morning sickness..."With her morning sickness symptoms being so strong, it was obviously impossible to continue hi

"Nonsense!" Mitchell could tell from Sophie's guilty expression that he had guessed right.He immediately scolded her in a stern voice and held her in his arms."Ah!" Surprised, Sophie let out a gasp and instinctively clung to his neck.Mitchell carried her to the living room couch and gently set her down.Only then did he instruct Harold to hurry and call Clare.Sophie tried to object, but a single glare from Mitchell silenced her. She could only sit obediently on the couch, watching them call the doctor, Clare. Clare was slightly out of breath when he arrived with his medical bag in hand. He'd heard Harold's panicked tone on the phone, and Mitchell had even snatched the phone over midway. Assuming that it was an emergency, he had rushed over without delay. At that moment, he saw everyone in the living room—one remained seated and the other two were standing. He then cast his gaze upon Mitchell and Sophie. Seeing that there weren't any obvious injuries on the two, and the

Sophie was embarrassed because she thought Mitchell was making a big fuss.However, Clare had always heard that Mitchell and Sophie weren't on good terms.At this point, their relationship didn't seem like what the rumors had suggested.Clare composed himself and said, "Don't worry if she's only vomited once. She probably just smelled something that triggered the nausea. Avoid that in the future. Morning sickness is normal. Don't worry too much and just relax."As for food, cater to whatever the mother craves. If she wants it, let her eat it. Don't force it if she doesn't like it, or else it could make things worse. Some people get too anxious, trying to make the pregnant lady eat whatever might be good for her. This actually makes the morning sickness worse."Such instances were quite common, especially in affluent families like the Warners. That was why Clare specifically brought it up.As expected, Mitchell asked, "What about nutritional supplements? Should she avoid those too

Mitchell had no idea what kind of food Sophie was talking about. Just the name "Limburger cheese" sounded a bit repulsive.But it was rare for Sophie to mention a specific craving, and Clare's instruction was to cater to the pregnant mother's requests. He could only instruct Harold, "Mr. Fowler, have them prepare the food. If they can't make them, have someone go out and buy them."He turned back to Sophie, missing Harold's momentary hesitation.Mitchell grew up eating foods prepared by the family's top chefs. He had brought a chef to school even when he was studying. He went to fancy restaurants when he dined out. Naturally, he knew nothing about lutefisk, Limburger cheese, and ramp chowder. However, Harold knew all too well. All these foods Sophie had mentioned had a strong taste and smell.It would be disastrous to put them all together. Upon seeing Mitchell's innocent and ignorant look, Harold suddenly didn't feel like reminding him.Harold thought it wasn't a bad idea f

Sophie clearly saw Mitchell holding his breath as he approached the dining table.Speechless at Mitchell's reaction, Sophie quickly shifted her attention. The smell of the lutefisk drew her in completely.She couldn't resist any longer and immediately picked up a fork, speared a piece of lutefisk, and put it in her mouth.It was savory and salty, and the texture was unexpectedly silky.The taste was incredible!Sophie enjoyed it very much.Mitchell was worried. But when he saw Sophie take the first bite, he couldn't help frowning. He was worried that she would throw up again and even glanced at the trash can, thinking if he would be able to grab it in time if she felt like vomiting.When she took a second bite, he seemed slightly relieved. Clare was right. Sophie wouldn't experience any nausea when she ate something she liked. Mitchell didn't have to worry about her appetite in the future.After she took another few bites, Mitchell seemed to waver a little, thinking that th

Sophie and Mitchell had a satisfying breakfast with uniquely strong flavors.However, this was merely the start. Sophie's cravings became more peculiar as time passed. She craved strawberry omelets, fried peach, tomato tarts, and black pudding... The more unusual, the better.At first, Mitchell joined her in these culinary adventures. But after one particular episode with a tomato tart that made him throw up directly, he couldn't take it anymore. The names of those foods were enough to make him feel disgusted, yet Sophie enjoyed eating them. Mitchell had specifically asked Clare about Sophie's strange craving.He was worried that there might be something wrong with Sophie.The doctor said that it was all normal. As long as those foods weren't harmful to pregnant women, they could be eaten. Hence, Mitchell let Sophie be.This continued until the third month of Sophie's pregnancy. Her strange craving gradually reduced, and her pregnancy became stable. One day, after breakfas

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
