True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 141 Misunderstood Him

Before Joey could react, Sebastian grabbed her hand and slipped it into his pajama pants.

Startled by the heat, Joey quickly pulled back, her face turning red. "Sebastian, if you keep this up, I'm done with you!" She had already lost control earlier and wasn't about to fall for Sebastian's tricks again.

Seeing her lips, slightly reddened from his kisses, Sebastian smirked. "Joey, you still want me. You enjoyed it, didn't you?" "Shut up!" Joey threw a pillow at him.

Sebastian laughed, enjoying her anger. This was the Joey he liked, the one who got mad.

But as he dodged the pillow, he accidentally pulled at his wound, gasping in pain. "Joey, it hurts."

Joey quickly lifted his shirt to check.

The gauze was soaked with blood, staining his pajamas.

She pressed the emergency button.

When the doctor arrived, Sebastian was still visibly aroused.

The doctor instantly knew why the wound was bleeding again.

"I know you young folks are full of energy, but this is a knife wound, and it even injured your spleen. If you don't take care of it, it could have lasting effects. You have a long life ahead. No need to rush into anything. Just take it easy." He re-bandaged Sebastian's wound and reminded Joey, "No sexual activity for the next two weeks, and no straining his waist, understand?"

Joey's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She nodded, head down.

All night, no matter how much Sebastian teased her, she stayed silent, working alone on the couch.

The tension broke the next morning when Alexander and Tyler came in.

Seeing Sebastian in bed, pale but in good spirits, Alexander couldn't help but curse, "Most people look weak when they're injured, but you still look so flamboyant."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Jealous? Even if you died, no one would take care of you like this. You've never been in a relationship. The one time you almost had a wife, she didn't even like you and ran away."

Furious, Alexander picked up the flowers in his hand, ready to throw them at Sebastian.

But Tyler stopped him. "Don't throw them. These flowers are too pretty to waste. I worked hard to pick them."

Seeing the tattered flowers, Sebastian got angry. These two idiots not only picked flowers for him but also chose ones meant for funerals.

He gritted his teeth. "Where did you pick these from?"

Tyler pointed out the window. "There's a flower shop at the hospital entrance. My wife has been keeping a tight rein on me lately, and all my pocket money's been confiscated. So I could only pick a few flowers to show my concern. Don't be mad."

Sebastian pressed his tongue against his cheek. "You really went through a lot. Why didn't you just pick up an urn for me and put me in it?" Alexander chimed in, "I wanted to get a frame and put your photo in it, but I couldn't replace a black-and-white photo of you, so I gave up." "Well, thanks. Why didn't you just hold a funeral for me?"

Joey stood aside, watching them bicker, and couldn't help but laugh. She never knew Alexander could joke around like this.

Sebastian looked at her with some resentment. "Joey, they're bullying me, and you're laughing. Kick them out for me."

Joey suppressed her smile and said calmly, "You guys chat. I'll go to the nurse's station to check how many IV drips are needed today." She nodded to everyone and left.

Alexander followed her. "I'll go with you. I need to get to work anyway."

As they left the room, Alexander suddenly asked, "Joey, how have you been lately?"

Joey smiled faintly. "Pretty good. Why do you ask, Mr. Cross?"

"But Sebastian hasn't been doing well at all. He's been living in guilt. I've never seen him so down, not even when he was blind and had a broken leg. If you haven't moved on from him, maybe you should give him another chance. Seeing you both like this makes me feel bad."

Alexander, usually so unserious, was surprisingly earnest.

Joey was taken aback. After a few seconds, she said, "Mr. Cross, there are some things I can't forgive. I can forgive how he treated me, but I can't forgive how he treated the child. After all, that was his child too."

Alexander quickly explained, "He never wanted to lose that child. When he thought you were pregnant, you have no idea how proud he was. He immediately called me to replace an OB-GYN specialist for you. When he found out the child was gone, he said some harsh things, but those were just words out of anger. He regretted them right after and drank a lot because of it."

Joey looked at him, puzzled. "If he wanted the child, why did he secretly give me medicine? If he didn't want the child, I never planned to force him."

"Joey, you misunderstood. He took you to get the medicine, but it was his mom who tampered with it. He didn't know. When he found out the truth, he wanted to stab himself. Especially when he learned you almost died from the miscarriage, he went crazy. Every night, he would go to the road where it happened and sit there all night. I know he's punishing himself. Sitting there reminds him of how helpless you were. He wants to use that pain to remind himself of how badly he treated you."

Hearing this, Joey's eyes welled up. Her heart ached.

So he never wanted to lose that child, and it wasn't him who wanted to get rid of the child.

Joey stood there, stunned.
