True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 149 Wanting a Second Child

Joey stared at Sebastian, stunned.

The apartments here are small-two bedrooms and a living room, about a thousand square feet. Not even as big as one of the bedrooms in Sebastian's house. He left his fancy villa to be her neighbor, just to help Baxter. Baxter seemed so lively, not depressed at all.

Joey smirked. "Mr. Winters, you really go all out for Baxter."

Sebastian looked serious. "Joey, the doctor said having a second child would help Baxter. She suggested we give him a little sister or brother. What do you think?" He didn't see anything wrong with what he said and waited for her response.

Joey chuckled. "Mr. Winters, if you want to give Baxter a sibling, go to the pet store and buy one. No matter what, you can't give birth to a puppy."

She stood up and went back to chopping vegetables.

Just then, the door opened again.

Maxwell stood there in a black casual outfit, holding a big bouquet of Baby's Breath. The colorful flowers contrasted with his tall, imposing figure.

He took off his sunglasses and called out, "Joey, I'm back."

Joey ran out of the kitchen, beaming. "Why do you look thinner? Is the food at the club not good?"

Maxwell handed her the flowers, pouting. "The food there isn't as good as yours."

"I made your favorite dishes. Eat up today. Thanks for the flowers, they're beautiful."

"If you like them, I'll bring you flowers every day."

Before Joey could respond, Sebastian walked out, giving Maxwell a disdainful look. "Who cares about those flowers? If you're going to buy flowers, at least get some good ones. Aren't you embarrassed buying a bunch of weeds?" Maxwell snorted. "We young folks give flowers like this now. Only old people give roses."

He looked Sebastian up and down. "I heard you got hurt. Why aren't you resting at home instead of wandering around?" Sebastian's eyebrows showed a hint of pride. "I came to say hello to my new neighbor so we can look out for each other."

Maxwell looked shocked. "You moved here?"

"That's right, you're not as dumb as you were when you were a kid."

"Sebastian, why are you so relentless? Haven't you hurt Joey enough? Every time she's in danger, it's because of you. And now you move here? Aren't you afraid your crazy ex will go nuts one day and burn down the whole building?" Mentioning Isabella made Maxwell furious. If he had known how vicious Isabella was, he would have scared her off when she was living alone last time.

Sebastian was about to speak when his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned and answered with a gloomy expression.

Cordelia's miserable crying came through the phone. "Sebastian, Isabella drank poison and tried to kill herself. She won't let the doctors save her and just wants to see you one last time. Please come quickly." Cordelia's voice was so loud that Maxwell, standing nearby, heard it clearly. Maxwell snorted in anger. "You better go, or your Isabella will die."

Sebastian replied impatiently, "Whether she dies or not has nothing to do with me. Don't call me."

He was about to hang up when Cordelia continued crying. "Sebastian, she's Connie's daughter. Connie has always been good to you. For her sake, can't you come and talk Isabella into getting help?" Sebastian said mercilessly, "Mrs. Vale wouldn't have a daughter like her! I won't have any more ties with her. Don't contact me again."

"Sebastian, if you don't come, I'll kill myself too! I promised Connie to take good care of Isabella. I can't watch her die."

As Cordelia spoke, she grabbed a fruit knife and held it to her neck. Daphne rushed over and shouted into the phone, "Sebastian, your mom's about to kill herself. You know how she is. You better come quick." Sebastian's forehead veins bulged in anger. He couldn't understand why Cordelia was so accommodating to Isabella.

Isabella's bad reputation was well-known, yet Cordelia still wanted her to marry him. Did she really want her son to be a laughingstock?

A strong emotion surged in Sebastian's eyes. His voice turned icy. "I'm on my way!"

He hung up the phone, eyes bloodshot as he looked toward the kitchen.

Joey was washing vegetables, her expression unreadable. She must have heard the call.

Sebastian quickly walked into the kitchen and hugged her tightly from behind.

He rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice low and hoarse. "Joey, wait for me to come back for dinner. I'll sort this out."

Joey didn't struggle; she just smiled faintly. "Go ahead. A life's a life."

This reminded Sebastian of the night Joey had a massive hemorrhage. She had called him for help, but he had said, "Isabella is also a life. I can't ignore her. You're being unreasonable."

How heartbroken Joey must have been. Sebastian's chest filled with a dense, prickling pain.

There had always been an Isabella between him and Joey, a hurdle she couldn't get over. He had to resolve it completely so Joey might come back to him.

When Sebastian arrived at the hospital, the ward was in chaos. People were crying and making a scene.

Seeing him, Darren wiped his tears and said, "Sebastian, please talk to her. Otherwise, the poison will kill her."

Sebastian glanced at Isabella on the hospital bed. She was foaming at the mouth, pale, and trembling uncontrollably.

Isabella's eyes were fixed on him. She weakly said, "Sebastian."

Sebastian walked over, his face dark. "You want to die, right? This method is so painful. I can buy you an euthanasia pod. You'll be dead in ten seconds. Want it?"

There was no pity in his voice, only disdain. This made Isabella's heart ache even more.

Even in her current state, Sebastian still treated her like this, yet he could be so gentle with Joey.

Why? He was supposed to be hers. Why did Joey get to take him away?

Tears rolled down Isabella's cheeks. "If Sebastian wants me to die so much, what's the point of living? I love you so much, but in the end, you have no compassion for me, not even a little.

Sebastian, when you were in danger back then, I rushed in without hesitation. I just thought how much it would hurt if that knife stabbed you. I just wanted to take that pain for you.

But I didn't expect the knife to stab my uterus, making me lose the ability to be a mother. No matter how much I sacrifice, it's all for the person I love. No matter how you treat me, I have no regrets.

I only wish for you to be safe and healthy in this life."

After saying that, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale as she looked at him.

Sebastian's face remained unmoved, his eyes dark and unreadable. "So why did you call me here? To watch you die in front of me and feel guilty?"

Isabella shook her head, crying. "No, I just wanted to see you one last time before I die, to remember your cruelty, so I won't be so good to you in the next life."

Sebastian suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Isabella, it's a pity you didn't become an actress with your acting skills. Do you think I'm as stupid as I was three years ago? Doctors, check her thoroughly and replace out what kind of poison she took."
