True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Joey walked to the maple tree, looking up at its lush canopy. All the beauty that once existed here felt like a knife in her heart. She didn't want to endure this pain anymore; she wanted to forget everything about this place. Tears rolled down as she took the two rings on a chain off her neck. With a bitter smile, she knelt and dug a hole beneath the maple tree, burying the rings in it.

As she gazed at the two rings lying silently in the soil, with their engraved heartbeats, Joey's shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

Joey had been busy at both the hospital and her company for several days. Her father's condition had finally stabilized, and the company was slowly getting back on track.

She planned to meet up with Julian and Sophia that evening. However, as she drove not too far from her place, she noticed an elderly lady staggering toward her car.

Joey panicked and slammed on the brakes. The car came to a halt, and the old lady collapsed, right next to her car's wheel.

Joey's initial reaction was that this might be a scam. She was about to pick up her phone to call the police when she saw the old lady groaning on the ground.

Her heart softened. Joey got out of the car and knelt beside the old lady, asking with concern, "Ma'am, are you alright? Should I call an ambulance for you?"

The old lady sat on the ground, trembling with fear, but remained silent. Someone nearby advised, "Young lady, don't bother. It's most likely a scam. Your car didn't even touch her, so how could she have fallen?" Joey replied, "I have a dashcam in my car. Even if she's running to scam, we'll have evidence. Let's take her to the hospital first. At her age, we shouldn't risk her health." Ignoring the crowd, Joey took the old lady to the hospital for a full check-up. It turned out she only had a minor scrape and slightly high blood pressure, nothing serious. Joey bought her food and a drink, and comforted her in a gentle voice for a long while. "Ma'am, you're fine now. Can you tell me how to get in touch with your family?"

The old lady looked at Joey's beautiful and gentle face, slowly regained her senses, and finally spoke, "Young lady, you've gone through so much trouble for me. How can I thank you?" Joey felt relieved when she saw the old lady speaking. She smiled and said, "As long as you're okay, there's no need to thank me."

The old lady insisted, "No, that won't do. I overheard your phone call earlier about your company facing difficulties. How about this? I don't have much to offer, but I can have my grandson bring some big orders to your company. He's the owner of a large corporation. I'm not lying."novelbin

Joey handed the old lady a cup of hot water with a smile. "I appreciate your kindness. I'll handle the company's matters myself. Just give me your family's contact information, and I'll have them come to pick you up."

The old lady refused. "No, I believe in repaying kindness. My grandson will definitely help you. By the way, he's still single, good-looking, and wealthy. If you don't mind, you can consider marrying him, and all his wealth will be yours." As the old lady spoke, she dialed her grandson's number. Half an hour later, Joey waited with the old lady at a nearby cafe.

But the person who arrived was a man she knew all too well.
