Chapter 503
Was Jason going to marry Ada! Could it have been that he confirmed Timothy was Ada’s son and decided to marry her to give the boy a complete family! His so–called deep affection was economic. After hitting a few obstacles with her, he lost his resolve and decided to settle, returning to chase his crush. It was utterly ridiculous!
In the end, it was her fault for being blind back then and falling for such a scumbag. All the suffering she endured was her own doing. She deserved every bit of the pain that left her battered and broken.
There was a crisp sound of knocking from inside the room. Sophia closed her eyes briefly, turned her phone on the table, and said hoarsely, “Come
The door opened, and Nathan walked in, followed by a distinguished lady. It had to be Ariana Harper! Rumor had it that she was the daughter of a prominent family in Clumond City, known for being proud and difficult to get along with. Sophia could tell the rumors were true from her arrogant and indifferent gaze. She ignored Ariana, not wanting to waste her warmth on someone like her.
After Nathan took a seat, Sophia immediately expressed her thoughts. “Mr. Harper, the chances of your son waking up are slim. If I perform this surgery, there is only a twenty percent chance of success.”
When she heard these words, Ariana had just taken her seat and abruptly stood up from the couch. She did not know that Sophia was the renowned doctor Linda Granger.

Now that Ariana heard what Sophia said, her anger immediately flared up. “I thought my husband had found a top–notch doctor, but you’re just an amateur. Well, that makes sense. As far as I know, the eldest daughter of the Taylor family didn’t even graduate from college because she was too busy trying to climb into her future brother–in–law’s bed. Since you don’t have the skills, don’t take on this delicate job and waste our time.”
Nathan reached out and gently tugged at Ariana’s sleeve, signaling her to hold her tongue. It was clear he didn’t dare to reprimand her loudly. After all, Ariana was the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in Clumond City. From a humble background, Nathan relied on his father–in–law’s support to reach his current position. He had become accustomed to being oppressed over the years. How could he dare to confront his wife in front of others?
Sophia lowered her eyes slightly and spoke softly, I’m not saying we won’t proceed with the surgery for your son. I just wanted to make the risks clear beforehand. There’s a twenty percent chance of success. I’ll finalize the surgical plan if you can take the gamble, Tomorrow…
Without letting her finish, Ariana sharply exclaimed, “You dare to meddle with only a twenty percent chance? Are you playing with human lives? Get out of the Harper family immediately. My son is not your experimental tool. Don’t you dare take on this job, get out.”
“You should hold your tongue,” Nathan murmured. He would have told her long ago if it weren’t for his promise to Sophia to keep her real identity hidden from his wife. Ariana wouldn’t be so dismissive of Sophia. “Our son’s condition is already dire. If we don’t proceed with the surgery soon, he could die at any moment, Nathan continued.
Ariana abruptly turned her head, her gaze piercingly sweeping towards her husband. “Nathan Harper, why do you always speak up for her? Are you having an affair with her? Did you bring her into the Harper family under the pretext of treating our son and then cheat on me behind my back!” Her words became increasingly accusatory and harsh.
Sophia’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and any intention to save Caleb Harper was gone entirely. Since they weren’t willing, she saw no need to perform the surgery under such pressure. “Please keep your language clean, Mrs. Harper. Speaking like that is beneath your dignity.”
Seeing her husband’s anxious expression, Ariana increasingly suspected something was happening between them. Jason’s not pursuing Sophia and announcing his intention to marry Ada further solidified her suspicions. “You’re quite something, Nathan Harper. You shamelessly bring this temptress into our home to humiliate me. I’m not done with you.”
