True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Hearing that familiar call she often dreamed about, Joyce just couldn't hold it in anymore.

She buried her face in Theodore's chest and started sobbing.

All her longing for her child came rushing back.

For the past two years, she had been bottling up her emotions, refusing to let herself think about that child.

She had thrown herself completely into her work, thinking she had moved on.

But when she heard Paxon's gentle voice, her heart shattered.

She knew those were Paxon's comforting words, and she also knew Paxon wasn't the child she had lost.

But now, she wanted to channel all her longing for her child onto Paxon.

Seeing this, Theodore's eyes welled up.

He gently stroked Joyce's head and said, "Alright, don't cry. Now you know how many people love you. Pull yourself together, and give Mr. Blackwood a peaceful farewell."

Joyce wiped her tears and said, "Theodore, I want to stay with my dad a bit longer. Can you handle the other stuff for me?"

"Of course, we're family. Your grandparents heard about it, and they're on their way. They asked me to tell you not to be sad."

Hearing his words, Joyce felt a bit better.

She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Don't worry, I won't break down. I'll stay with my dad until the very end."

"Alright, I'll have Sophia stay with you. I'll go make some arrangements."

Theodore gave a few more instructions and left.

As soon as he stepped out the door, his phone rang.

Sebastian's deep, hoarse voice came from the other end, "How is she?"

Theodore took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag, saying, "Not good."

Hearing this, Sebastian felt a heavy blow to his chest, causing a dull ache.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Did Paxon's voice message help?"

Theodore's voice was low, "It did, but it's just a temporary fix. This will remain so unless we tell her Paxon is her child. Sebastian, if we tell her, maybe she will feel a bit better."

Sebastian was silent for a long time before saying, "Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't tell her. We've been planning for two years; we can't let it fall apart at the critical moment."

"If Joey and Paxon reunite and the enemies find out, it will put them in danger. I believe Joyce will get through this."

Although Sebastian said this, the pain in his heart did not lessen.

How could he not know that Paxon was the reason Joyce could stay strong?

But if it were exposed, putting them in danger again, his two years of preparation would be in vain.

After hanging up the phone with Theodore, Sebastian sat in his office, smoking one cigarette after another.

Looking at Joyce's photo on his phone, he said in a hoarse voice, "Joyce, hold on a little longer, okay? When it's all over, I'll let you know the truth."

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

Sebastian collected his emotions, his eyes returning to their usual coldness, and said, "Come in."

Lena walked in with a stack of documents, "Mr. Winters, these documents need your signature."

Sebastian picked up a pen and signed his name on the documents.

Then he looked up at Lena, "Attend with me for the Winters Group anniversary celebration next week." Hearing this, Lena was somewhat flattered, "Okay, I'll get ready."

After speaking, she turned and left with her things.

Two years ago, after Sebastian and Joyce separated, she found an excuse to stay by his side.

Although she knew she was there to keep an eye on him.

Facing such a man every day, it was impossible not to fall in love with him.

But Sebastian seemed to only have a sense of camaraderie from the sanatorium, never crossing the line.

Even when attending various events, he always brought Dominic along.

This was the first time he had asked her to go with him.

After leaving the office, Lena immediately reported this to that person.

Seeing her report, Kevin's face twisted into a cold smile.

He said to his assistant Karl, "Have Leo send an invitation to Joyce. I want to see if there's still a spark between them."

Meanwhile, Joyce stayed by Benjamin's side, and when Sophia returned with food, she saw Melanie and Alexander coming out of the office together.

Sophia bit her lip hard and pretended not to see them as she walked by.

Melanie saw her and immediately stopped to greet her.

"Miss Sinclair, are you going to see Mr. Blackwood?"

Sophia slowly turned around, looking at her expressionlessly, "Ms. Hayes, what's up?"

Melanie smiled, "Oh, nothing. Alexander and I just got off work and thought we'd stop by."

"Thanks, but no need. Joyce's not in a good mood and doesn't want to be disturbed. I appreciate your kindness on her behalf."

After speaking, Sophia turned and left.

Alexander immediately chased after her, grabbing her wrist.

He looked deeply into her eyes, "Sophia, how long are you going to avoid me?"

Sophia's cold eyes slowly lifted, a mocking smile on her lips.

"Mr. Cross, your girlfriend is watching. Don't let her misunderstand. We broke up a long time ago; it's best not to get entangled."

Alexander gritted his teeth, "How many times do I have to explain for you to believe me? Melanie and I are just colleagues. There's nothing between us. Why don't you believe me?" "Colleagues?" Sophia sneered, "You two seem to have a very good relationship."

After speaking, she turned and left.

She could never forget the message she had received two years ago, which contained a photo of Alexander and Melanie sleeping together, both of them naked.Both of them were naked. She would be a fool to believe they were just colleagues.

If they were, they were the kind of colleagues who could share a bed and an operating table.

Watching Sophia leave, Alexander clenched his fist in anger.

Melanie immediately walked over, her attitude gentle, "Alexander, am I causing you trouble? Should I explain to Miss Sinclair?"

"No need, I have something to do. I'll leave first."

After speaking, he left without waiting for Melanie's response.

When Sophia pushed the door open, she saw Joyce standing on the balcony.

The entire window was open.

She was holding the window frame with both hands.novelbin

Sophia was so scared that she dropped the food and rushed towards Joyce.

Her voice became hoarse.

"Joyce, don't!"

She rushed to Joyce's side and pulled her into her arms.

Sophia, with tears in her eyes, looked at Joyce, "Joyce, you promised me you would live well. Why don't you keep your promise?"

Seeing her so worried, Joyce gently patted her back and said, "I just had a headache and wanted to open the window for some air. Don't worry, I won't commit suicide. I got through it two years ago and I can do it again." Sophia looked at her in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Really, I have so many family members and friends. How could I commit suicide? I still need to make a lot of money to give you a big wedding gift."

Hearing this, Sophia finally relaxed.

"You scared me a lot. I bought you some food. Eat a little."

The two of them sat together and had dinner. Joyce insisted that Sophia go home.

In the middle of the night, just as Joyce lay down to sleep, the door was quietly opened.

A shadow slowly approached Joyce.
