True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Seeing Joyce lose her temper again, Sebastian smiled with relief.

He gently stroked Joyce's earlobe with his large hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Say

that again?"

"Bastard!"

Joyce didn't hesitate to curse again.

If he didn't keep teasing her, she wouldn't have lost her composure in front of him.

Hearing the familiar curse again, Sebastian smiled and pulled Joyce into his arms.

He leaned on her shoulder, his voice filled with indescribable emotions.

There was excitement, sadness, and more than anything, heartache.

"My Joyce is finally back."

The Joyce who would hit him, curse him, and throw tantrums at him was finally back to her normal self.

Sebastian gently stroked Joyce's head and said in a hoarse voice again, "Can you stay like this from now on?"

Feeling his inner pain, Joyce's heart ached as well.

Two people who were deeply in love, after being apart for two years, only they knew the pain of longing they had endured.

They held each other for a long time until there was a knock on the door.

Outside, Paxon's childish voice could be heard.

"Mommy and Daddy, are you done kissing yet?"

Hearing this, Joyce pushed Sebastian away and glared at him, saying, "I told you Paxon

was still here, but you wouldn't listen."

She quickly opened the door.

She saw Paxon with his little face upturned, smiling with squinted eyes at her.

Joyce bent down to pick him up and gently explained, "I was too tired and your daddy was giving me a massage."

Paxon grinned mischievously and pointed at Joyce's slightly swollen lips, saying, "Was Daddy massaging here? I saw him kissing you just now."

Faced with such a clever Paxon, Joyce was at a loss for words.

Sebastian laughed and hugged both of them.

"Come on, you know how smart our son is. You can't fool him."

He kissed Paxon on the forehead, "I missed your mommy, so I kissed her."

Paxon clapped his little hands excitedly, "Daddy kisses Mommy because he loves her. Paxon loves Mommy, too, so I want to kiss her, too."

He then leaned over and kissed Joyce on the cheek.

This happy family moment made Joyce feel very warm.

She always felt that Paxon was her little angel, always bringing her joy and healing her inner wounds.

The next day.

Joyce was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

She immediately got out of bed, took her phone, and went outside to answer it.

Felicia's excited voice came from the other end, "Joyce, Sophia is awake."

Hearing this news, Joyce bit her lip in excitement.

Today was the fourth day of Sophia's coma. If she didn't wake up soon, she would need brain surgery.

Joyce immediately asked, "Is she conscious? Can she speak?"

Felicia replied, "She is conscious, but she can't speak."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Grayson can cure it. As long as she's awake, everything will be fine. I'll be right over."

When Joyce arrived at the hospital, Felicia was holding Sophia's hand and crying, lamenting the hardships Sophia had endured for her acting career.

Sophia had almost died.

Seeing Joyce come in, Felicia wiped her tears and said, "She can move her body, but she can't speak."

Looking into Sophia's watery eyes, Joyce's eyes also welled up.

Joyce said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, I am sure you'll get back to your lively self, and I will find the person who framed you."

Hearing these words, tears that had been welling up in Sophia's eyes finally fell.

Joyce tenderly wiped her tears and comforted her softly, "I'm sorry, Sophia. I've been so focused on revenge these past two years that I neglected your feelings. But don't worry, I will find the ones who hurt you so much and let them greatly pay for this."

Hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Sophia's eyes.

For two years, she had hidden her true feelings well.

She thought no one would notice her little thoughts. But Joyce had figured it out.

Sophia gently squeezed Joyce's fingers and shook her head. With that gesture, Joyce understood what she wanted to say. Joyce immediately nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

At that moment, Alexander pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Sophia awake, he immediately walked to the bedside.

His eyes were filled with indescribable emotions as he looked at her.

Alexander's voice was also hoarse, "Sophia, how are you feeling now?"

Sophia, who had been teary-eyed just a moment ago, instantly became cold upon seeing Alexander.

She lowered her eyes and slightly curved her lips.

This seemingly smiling yet distant expression made Alexander's heart ache.

For two years, every time they met, she treated him this way.

Sophia seemed gentle but was very distant.

Alexander slowly bent down and gently squeezed Sophia's small hand with his cold

hand.

He said in a deep voice, "When you get better, I have something to tell you."noveldrama

A week later.

Sophia was transferred out of the ICU.

Susan appeared in the ward every day as a nanny, secretly treating Sophia.

That day, just as she put away the treatment equipment, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

Susan immediately hid the equipment under Sophia's blanket.

She turned around to see Melanie standing at the door with a smile.

Susan immediately got up to greet her, smiling, "Ms. Hayes, is there something you need?"

Melanie's voice was gentle, "I heard from the nurses' station that Sophia needs to pay her fees. You should go check on that."

Susan immediately replied, "Alright, I'll go check."

After giving Sophia a few instructions, Susan left.

As soon as the door closed, Melanie's previously gentle face turned cold.

She bent down and looked at the motionless Sophia on the bed, slightly curling her

lips, "Miss Sinclair, I heard your new movie is about to be released and your role in the old movie won an award. Congratulations."

Sophia glared at her with hatred, wanting to speak but unable to do it, her face turning red with frustration.

Seeing her like this, Melanie feigned sympathy, "What a pity. You finally won an award, but now you can't even attend the award ceremony. I feel sorry for you."

Sophia clenched her fists tightly, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at her.

Her teeth ground together audibly.

But she couldn't say a word.

Melanie lightly patted her hand and smiled, "Stop struggling. You'll never get better."

Melanie leaned close to Sophia's ear and whispered, "Because I switched your medication. Even if you wake up, you'll never be able to speak. Do you think Alexander would be interested in a mute?"

Hearing this, Sophia's eyes turned red with anger. She reached out to hit Melanie but she couldn't move.

She could only lie on the bed, struggling helplessly.

Melanie smiled smugly, "Sophia, you're lucky to be alive at last time, but this time I'll make sure you're disabled. You'll never compete with me for Alexander."

With that, she turned and left the ward.

As soon as the door closed, Sophia, who had been struggling in pain, immediately calmed down.

She took out her phone from under the blanket and played the recording she had just made.

Melanie's voice instantly filled the room.
