Second Chance At Love (Sophia and Jason) novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 

A mechanical voice said, “Sorry. The number you have dialed is unavailable.” 

Jason’s phone was turned off. 

Sophia’s heart sank like a stone. She couldn’t believe it and called again. However, all she got was the same female voice who told her Jason 

a 

was unreachable. 

Sophia’s hand trembled. Her phone slipped through her fingers and fell to the floor. She staggered and fell onto the chair beside the bed. Helplessness, panic, and fear rose in her. 

The despair was so great that Sophia’s chest wound ached. It was so painful that every inch of her hurt. 

When Claire saw this, she couldn’t help but curse, “Why don’t you drop dead? If you die, no one else will die with you.” 

Sophia curled up in the chair in pain, disheartened. She thought, ‘Yes. Why aren’t I dead? If I die, nobody would be hurt. 

Oliver saw Sophia’s chest heaving violently. His gaze darkened. After shaking off Claire, he strode forward and hugged Sophia. “Sophia, come on. It’s not time to give up yet.” 

Sophia trembled violently as she struggled to break free from despair. “Yes, he’s not dead yet. I can’t give up.” 

As she spoke, Sophia bent and picked up the phone on the ground. The screen was broken. With trembling fingers, she opened her contact 

list and called Eric. 

The call was quickly connected. Eric asked respectfully, “Ms. Sophia, what’s up?” 

Sophia grabbed Oliver’s shirt tightly, her lips trembling. “My father is seriously ill. He has to go to the hospital. They said they can only release him with Jason’s approval, but I can’t contact him. Can you help me call him?” 

A loud sound came from the receiver. Eric had probably knocked over his cup. Then, his voice followed. “Mr. Wilson went overseas. The private plane only took off late last night. It shouldn’t have landed yet. I’ll call the person in charge of the prison first. Wait for my news.” 

Sophia replied, “Okay. Thanks.” 

Oliver got to work. He held Sophia’s shoulder with one hand and was making calls on his phone with the other. However, his influence in Cester City was far inferior to Jason’s. He found a few acquaintances to help, but they only asked him to wait for news. After all, the shakers and movers in Cester City did not want to get involved in this mess when Jason was involved. 

Time passed slowly as they waited anxiously. The hope that had just ignited in Sophia’s heart slowly withered. 

Jason had seen Corey’s appearance when he was ill. It was very dangerous and Corey almost died on the operating table several times. 

Now, Corey was in a prison with poor medical equipment. His condition would worsen with every minute. 

When it came to life and death, what would happen would eventually happen. 

The phone rang. Eric called. Sophia quickly picked it up. “How’s it going?” 

Eric replied, “The subordinates can’t make the decision. I have to go to the person in charge of the police station. Please wait for another

twenty minutes.” 

A bad feeling rose in Sophia’s heart. She vaguely sensed that death was looming. 

A moment later, Sophia’s prediction came tru 

45% 

The police officer from the police station called again. This time, it was not to urge them to send Corey to the hospital for emergency treatment, but… to report Corey’s death. “Mrs. Taylor, I’m sorry. Mr. Taylor has passed away. The prison doctor has announced his death. My condolences.” 

Claire screamed. At her age, she might not have much feelings for her husband. However, they were married for decades after all. It was not 

strange for her to be devastated when she heard that her husband had died. 

Sophia closed her eyes, her body trembling from immense sorrow. Even though she tried her best, she could not keep her adoptive father 

alive. 

Life had only ever given Sophia grief. Life would never be so kind as to give her peace. Her gaze swept across Molly’s face on the bed, and she smiled sadly. She thought, “Molly, you want me to live for you, but so many people have died because of me. I only have hatred now. How can I live for you? I’m sorry. I may have to let you down. 

After 

pushing herself to her feet, Sophia staggered out of the ward. Oliver wanted to help her, but Sophia waved him away. 

When Sophia reached Claire, Claire slapped her hard. 

This time, Sophia did not dodge. She looked at Claire. “Let’s go to the prison and collect Dad’s body.” 

Claire was provoked by the words ‘collect his corpse‘ and spat on Sophia’s face. Then, Claire threw her phone at Sophia’s head. “Go to hell.”
