True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Ryan handed the flowers to Joyce, his handsome face radiating deep affection.

This made Joyce feel very uncomfortable.

She took the flowers and said flatly, "We're just pretending to be a couple, Mr. Ward. There's no need to be so serious. Just cooperate when necessary."

Ryan smiled and walked inside, placing breakfast on the dining table.

Then he picked up the just-awake Paxon and said in a deep voice, "Acting needs to be realistic. If we don't practice regularly, we'll easily get exposed at critical moments, right, Paxon?" Paxon, lying softly on his shoulder, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm just afraid you'll pour too much into character and won't be able to get out."

Hearing this, Ryan playfully patted Paxon's little butt.

"Can you be on my side for once? Yesterday, I took care of you all day."

"But you also ate the dinner my mom made last night. We're even now. Don't bully me for my age. I'm actually very smart."

Seeing his quick response, Ryan laughed and said, "It looks like if I want to pursue your mom, I need to win you over first. Come on, let's go wash up and change your diaper." Paxon pouted angrily, "I only wear them at night. I don't need them during the day."

"Alright, then let me see how much you peed last night."

With that, he carried Paxon into the bathroom.

Ryan first washed his little butt, then helped him brush his teeth and wash his face.

Paxon seemed to enjoy the process.

His bright eyes blinked as he looked at Ryan.

"Can you turn back into your original look?"

Ryan knew exactly what he meant.

He squatted down, looking directly at him, "Which face do you like better?"

Paxon thought for a moment and said, "I like this one."

"Why?"

"Because seeing the original one you would make mom sad. I don't want her to be sad."

Hearing this, Ryan felt a pang in his heart.

As Sebastian, he had indeed brought Joyce a lot of pain.

Even Paxon could knew that.

He smiled and touched Paxon's cheek, "This secret stays between us. If she finds out, she won't let me pursue her."

Paxon nodded repeatedly, "Then you have to promise me you won't make my mom sad again, or I won't like you anymore." "Deal."

Joyce, seeing they hadn't come out for a long time, walked to the bathroom and knocked at door a few times. "What are you two doing there?"

Ryan immediately replied, "Almost done."

After breakfast, the three of them drove to see Benjamin.

Paxon ran ahead with his short legs and as he pushed the door open, he saw Susan treating Benjamin. Seeing this, Paxon was terrified.

He ran over crying, grabbing Susan's hand, "Please don't hurt my grandpa anymore. It hurts him a lot." Susan smiled and explained, "Sweetie, don't worry. These machines will help your grandpa wake up sooner."

Paxon looked at her skeptically, "But these machines look weird."

"Only by stimulating him fully can he wake up sooner."noveldrama

Hearing this, Paxon immediately wiped his tears.

He climbed onto the bed, pouting, and blew on Benjamin.

He kept muttering, "Grandpa, I'll blow on you so it won't hurt."

Everyone felt his actions very cute.

Susan looked at Joyce and said, "Is this your son? He seems really close to his grandpa. Looks like his grandpa took good care of him."

Joyce's face showed a hint of sadness. Benjamin had indeed taken good care of her baby. He was responsible for her diet during pregnancy. Unluckily, her baby was no longer there. She forced a bitter smile. "He's my cousin's child."

Susan was a bit surprised, "Really? He is close to Benjamin, so I thought he was your son."

Joyce didn't know why Paxon was so close to Benjamin either. And Benjamin seemed to care a lot about Paxon too. When Paxson and Ryan first met Benjamin, his hand and eyes moved, even though he was unconscious. Benjamin had never seen them before, so why did he react so strongly? It was something Joyce couldn't figure out.

Today was the third day of Benjamin's treatment. After removing all the equipment, Susan was about to pack up when she heard Paxon's surprised voice. "Grandpa, are you awake?"

Everyone looked over. Benjamin, who had been lying with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Joyce was startled by his action. She rushed over, grabbing Benjamin's hand, excitedly saying, "Dad, are you awake? Can you recognize me?" Benjamin's eyes were dull, but he still blinked mechanically. Joyce excitedly looked at Susan, "Mrs. Grayson, is my dad awake?"

Susan nodded, "It's just the first step. Although he opened his eyes, his brain hasn't fully regained control over his faculties yet. It will take time."

"That's already a big improvement. He won't just lie there motionless anymore. You don't know how scared I had been for two years that he'd never wake up."

Hearing this, Ryan's eyes welled up. He walked over to Joyce, patted her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Grayson has only treated him for three days and there's already such a noticeable effect. I believe Mr. Blackwood will recover soon."

Susan smiled, "My treatment just works a little while his willpower occupied dominantly, and external stimulation is also a factor. That's why he showed such significant improvement in such a short time. I didn't expect it either." Speaking of stimulation, Joyce immediately looked at Paxon. The first time Paxon came to see him, Benjamin's fingers moved. And this time, Benjamin opened his eyes when Paxon came. Paxon was her lucky star. Joyce immediately kissed Paxon's cheek, "Paxon, it's all because of you. I'll reward you later."

Paxon looked at her seriously, "Really? Then can you take me to the aquarium?"

"Of course, you can do whatever you want today."

Paxon was so excited he danced around. He leaned over to Benjamin's ear and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm going to the aquarium with Aunt Joyce later. You stay here with this pretty lady, okay? I'll bring you back some pretty fish, alright?" Hearing Paxon's words, everyone laughed. Including Benjamin, his lips curved slightly. Although Benjamin's movement was slight, Paxon noticed it. He immediately said with a smile, "Aunt Joyce, Grandpa smiled when he heard he could stay with this pretty lady. Grandpa likes her."
