True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Seeing the situation, Joyce quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe away Benjamin's tears.

She gently said, "Dad, I know you have a lot to say to Mrs. Grayson, so wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."

Benjamin's eyelashes fluttered a bit, like he was agreeing.

Susan pulled out an instrument from her bag and started examining and treating Benjamin's head.

An hour later, the first treatment was done.

Joyce asked anxiously, "Mrs. Grayson, how is my dad?"

Susan, while packing up, said, "Better than I expected. At this rate, he should show significant improvement in about a week."

Joyce's face lit up, "Really? That's awesome! My dad finally has hope. Mrs. Grayson, you've been working all day. Let me take you to dinner and then to the hotel to rest."

But just as she finished speaking, Benjamin grabbed Susan's hand.

Joyce's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Mrs. Grayson, look! My dad is holding your hand now. Before this, his fingers were just weak and curled up."

Susan smiled, "This is a good sign. It means he's starting to regain consciousness."

Joyce wanted to say something, but Ryan pulled her aside.

He smiled at Susan and said, "Mrs. Grayson, I think you and Mr. Blackwood haven't seen each other for many years and must have a lot to talk about. I'll have someone bring you a meal. Joyce and I gotta go take care of some other stuff. Please keep an eye on him for us."

Without waiting for Joyce to react, Ryan pulled her out.

As soon as they stepped outside, Joyce broke free from his grip, "Why did you pull me? I was going to take Mrs. Grayson to the hotel."

Ryan frowned, "Didn't you see that Mr. Blackwood doesn't want Mrs. Grayson to leave? He's been in a coma for two years and his condition improved so much as soon as she arrived. Don't you know that's the power of love?"

Joyce wanted to argue, but Ryan grabbed her wrist.

He dragged her out, "If you don't take me to dinner soon, you'll be responsible for my coming stomach ulcer."

"You have a stomach ulcer, too?"

Joyce looked at him thoughtfully.

Seeing her surprised expression, Ryan laughed, "What, having a stomach ulcer is rare? Or is it that only your ex-husband can have it, and no other man is allowed?"

"How do you know he has a stomach ulcer?" Joyce grew more curious.

Ryan glanced at her and chuckled, "Who else but Sebastian could leave such a deep impression on you? You haven't forgotten him, have you?"

"No." Joyce replied coldly.

Then she broke free from Ryan's hand, a barely noticeable trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

She thought she must be mad, always trying to find traces of Sebastian in Ryan.

It seemed she needed to see a psychologist this weekend.

Just as they were about to leave, they ran into a familiar face.

Lena, holding a bouquet of flowers, walked over with a smile.

She glanced at Joyce and Ryan, then said with a smile, "Ms. Blackwood, are you starting a new relationship? That's wonderful news. I must tell Mr. Winters." Her face was filled with joy.

As long as Joyce was entangled with another man, she wasn't afraid of not getting Sebastian.

Joyce looked at her coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Lena smiled lightly, "I'm here on behalf of Mr. Winters to visit his former father-in-law. He said that even though you two are separated, you were good to him before. Since he hasn't visited Mr. Blackwood since returning, he sent me." Every word she said dripped with Sebastian's trust in her and his disdain for Joyce.

She meant that Sebastian didn't even want to visit Benjamin personally.

How could Joyce not see through Lena's intentions?

She smiled coldly, pulled out her phone from her bag, and said to Lena, "Is that so? I really need to thank Mr. Winters for caring about my dad."

She made a gesture to call.

Lena immediately stopped her, "Mr. Winters is very busy in a meeting. Don't disturb him."

"Is he busy, or do you not want him to know that you visited my father without his permission?"

Seeing her intentions exposed, Lena didn't bother to pretend anymore.

She sneered, "Joyce, you were the one who took so much from Sebastian without caring about his life. Your heartlessness back then means you two will never be together again."

"These past two years, I've been with him through the toughest time. I deserve to be his wife. Don't think you can entangle with him again."

Hearing this, Joyce smiled coldly.

"So you finally admit your purpose for coming here. Visiting my father is just an excuse. You want me to know that Sebastian trusts you. I've warned you before, don't provoke me. Do you believe that if I beckon to Sebastian, he'll come back to me obediently?"

"With my current status and position, what do you think you can compare with me?"

Lena clenched her fists in anger, "I have a bond with him through hardships, something you'll never have. In his heart, I'll always be irreplaceable."

"Really? Are you sure you're the irreplaceable one in his heart?"

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.com is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! The words left Lena speechless.

She knew Joyce was sharp-tongued, quick-witted, and perceptive.

But she didn't expect Joyce to expose the truth with just a few words.

She didn't dare argue further, fearing Joyce would seize upon her mistake.

She bit her lip and glared at Joyce, "Since you have a boyfriend now, don't think about getting close to Sebastian. He's mine."

With that, Lena threw the flowers into the trash and left.

Watching Lena's disappearing figure, Joyce clenched her fist.

Lena had taken her place beside Sebastian for so long. How dare she be so audacious?

If it weren't for Sebastian, she would have torn off Lena's mask long ago.

But now, she could only endure.

Seeing Joyce's pale face and red eyes, Ryan gazed down at her, "Jealous of seeing another woman by your ex-husband's side?"

Joyce tried to calm herself down.

She said coldly, "No, I just can't bear such ones like her showing off around."novelbin

Ryan teased, "How is she showing off? I clearly saw you had the upper hand. You said if you beckon to Sebastian, he'll come back to you obediently, huh? Why are you so confident about your ex-husband? Or have you never forgotten him and want him back?"

"No." Joyce immediately replied, "I was just scaring her."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Ryan's eyes.

He gently rubbed Joyce's head, his voice low and husky.

"You don't need to be jealous. Besides you, I don't care about anyone else."
