Chapter 54
Luna quickly rushed to Amanda, anxiety etched on her face. She wanted to ask, yet she didn’t dare to speak.
Oliver gave Amanda a nod, signaling her to talk,
“She’s kept alive for now, but her time is running short. She urgently needs a heart transplant. Otherwise, she won’t make it more than a month,” Amanda said.
These words pierced Luna deeply, causing her to stumble backward in shock. “How can it be so severe? What kind of injuries did she suffer
back then?”
Amanda was about to respond when Oliver’s gaze stopped her. He asked, “Did you operate on her?”
“No, she’s not in a state for surgery right now unless an immediate heart transplant is possible. I’ve used acupuncture treatment to remove the clotted blood from her body. For now, we’ll stick with conservative treatment,” Amanda explained.
After hearing all this, Luna was completely taken aback. The questions she had before no longer mattered; her mind was filled with hatred toward Jason. She silently vowed to avenge Sophia and make Jason’s life a living hell.
“Can I go in to keep her company?” Luna managed to ask.
Amanda nodded and stepped aside to let her through, advising, “She’s not awake yet. Once she is, try to counsel her to ward off depression. Harboring that kinda distress can be deadly for her.”
Luna casually responded and hurried into the ward.
Watching her go, Amanda looked up at Oliver and suggested, “Sophia is really pitiable. Will you please stop using her? I know the Wilson family is your sworn enemy, and you are determined to take them down, but your power isn’t yet enough to knock them out in one blow. You’ve been trying to take shortcuts to break Jason’s will. But as you see, Jason is heartless Using Sophia to get to him won’t work; it only
involves the innocent.”
Actually, Oliver could easily ask Roger for help in his revenge. The Wilson family’s influence was nothing compared to the Watson Group, who could dismantle the Wilson family easily if they wished.
“Why don’t you just ask Mr. Watson…”
Amanda was cut off before she could finish as Oliver dismissed her with a wave of his hand. “Mind your own business. Just take good care of
her”
After a slight hesitance, he added, “Send me her cardiac match data. I’ll contact the organ bank to see if we
can find a suitable donor for her.”
Amanda nodded slightly before remembering the unborn child of Sophia. “If we go for the heart transplant, the baby can’t be saved. You need to discuss this with her first.”
“Okay,” responded Oliver.
Sophia was unconscious the entire night, only barely coming to the following morning. Her mind was a haze at first, but as her vision adjusted to the indoor light, memories began to trickle back.
Glancing to the side, she saw Luna seated at her bedside, dozing off. Luna’s eyes were swollen from crying, with traces of tears still on her

face.
“Luna…” Sophia was about to call Luna to rest on the bed when a searing pain shot through her tongue, causing her body to tremble
violently.
This movement pulled at the whip wounds on her body, the piercing pain so intense that she couldn’t help but scream.

Luna woke from her doze to Sophia’s contorted face and immediately grabbed her hand, her voice breaking as she asked, “Does it hurt a lot? What can I do for you?”
Sophia clenched her teeth to withstand the overwhelming, crushing pain and managed a pale smile. “Tm… okay…”
She couldn’t finish before the wound on her tongue split again, and fresh blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.
Luna, in a panic, reached out to wipe away the blood, crying and pleading, “Don’t talk anymore. Save your strength. I won’t ask.”
Sophia weakly lifted her hand, gripping Luna’s wrist tightly, her eyes smiling in silent consolation.
She hadn’t been able to keep Luna in the dark about her health after all. She hadn’t mentioned it to avoid causing Luna distress. Sophia thought she could walk this last difficult road alone, there was no need to drag someone else into her pain.
Seeing Sophia still concerned for her amidst her own suffering made Luna sob even harder. “Why are you so foolish? He’s just scum, not worth you burning your life away for!”
Sophia smiled weakly, about to bear the pain to respond, when the door to the room swung open fiercely.
Oliver strode in and started, “Jason’s brought a bunch of bodyguards. Seems he wants to take you back. You…
Sophia, overwhelmed with emotions, abruptly sat up on the bed. She didn’t want to return to be further trampled upon and humiliated by that heartless man..
