True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 97 Domestic Violence

Joey got what Sebastian meant by "distraction" right away.

She pounded on his chest. "Sebastian, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Sebastian's breathing got even faster.

He hugged Joey again, inhaling her floral scent, feeling like he was losing it.

Ignoring the needle in his wrist and Joey's pounding, he leaned in to kiss her.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Joey felt humiliated, thinking, 'He said he didn't want me, that he never loved me, so why is he still clinging to me?'

Joey resisted the kiss. In her panic, she grabbed a water cup from the bedside table and smashed it on Sebastian's head.

When people are super emotional, they get stronger.

Usually as gentle as a kitten, Joey managed to make Sebastian's head bleed with that blow.

Sebastian's actions stopped.

He felt the hot blood trickle down his cheek and jawline, dripping onto Joey's delicate face.

In this state, Joey had an extra touch of fragile beauty.

He chuckled indifferently. "Ms. Blackwood, you're guilty of domestic violence."

Joey was already terrified. She immediately got up from Sebastian and pressed the emergency button. In no time, the doctor rushed in.

They were shocked to see the situation. "What happened to him?"

Sebastian, his face covered in blood, looked at Joey and said calmly, "I made her angry, so she hit me."

The doctor quickly took out a cotton ball to stop Sebastian's bleeding.

While tending to the wound, he advised, "Can't a couple resolve their issues without resorting to violence? This wound looks pretty bad. It might leave a scar. Once it heals, you should buy some scar cream. It would be a shame to ruin such a handsome face."

Hearing the term "couple," Sebastian felt pleased.

The itchy rash didn't bother him anymore, and the wound on his head didn't hurt either.

He looked at Joey and said, "A scar is fine, as long as she takes responsibility for me."

The doctor shook his head helplessly. "I really don't understand you young people. Why can't you just get along without fighting?"

He finished treating Sebastian's wound and then left.

Looking at Sebastian's face covered in a rash and his head wrapped in bandages, Joey's voice was a bit hoarse. "I didn't mean to." Sebastian didn't show any blame. Instead, he spoke gently, "You've hurt me this much, can you stay with me?"

Joey lowered her eyes. "I'll stay with you, but you need to stay still."

"Okay, I'll stay still."

The two of them spent the entire night peacefully.

Sebastian's IV finished, and the rash on his face subsided.

He returned to his handsome and dashing self, despite the bandage on his forehead.

While Joey was getting the medication, Dominic walked in.

Seeing Sebastian in this state, he was startled. "Mr. Winters, what happened to your forehead?"

Sebastian glanced at him coldly, a hint of pride on his lips. "Domestic violence."

Dominic immediately understood what he meant.

Seeing Sebastian's smug expression, Dominic couldn't help but say, "So it was Ms. Blackwood who hit you. Good for her!"

She should have hit him a few more times to vent her anger.

After all, Sebastian used to bully Joey all the time.

"Of course not," Dominic quickly corrected himself, "I mean, her getting upset with you means she cares about you. My girlfriend often upsets with me too."

Sebastian asked again, "Has she ever made you bleed?"

"No, she hasn't."

Dominic shook his head. His girlfriend at most gave him a few light punches. He wasn't like Sebastian, always making his girlfriend mad.

Sebastian looked at him meaningfully. "Making you bleed is true love. What you have is just a fling. You can't compare to me and Joey."

Dominic thought, 'Mr. Winters, you're truly shameless. You and Ms. Blackwood have already fallen out. She doesn't even care about you anymore. How can you still be so confident and call this true love?'

But as a sensible subordinate, Dominic immediately smiled and said, "That's right, we can't compare to your relationship with Ms. Blackwood. You two have such intense ups and downs, which is real love. Our relationship is too plain, not good at all."

Sebastian gave him a sidelong glance. "Why do I feel like you're mocking me?"

"No, Mr. Winters, I'm just telling the truth."

As they were talking, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Maxwell, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a baseball cap, leaned leisurely against the door, a roguish smile playing on his lips. "Joey has long since left you, yet you still cling to her, Sebastian. I never knew you were so shameless." Sebastian looked up and saw Maxwell's eagle-like eyes.

He sneered. "She doesn't want me, does she want you? Look at yourself, you look like a thug. It's a waste of your grandfather's upbringing. He raised such a loser."

"Sebastian, do you believe I'll beat you up?"

Sebastian raised an eyebrow at him. "Beat me up? Have you ever won?"

From childhood to adulthood, Maxwell had always been outdone by Sebastian.

Even after serving in the special forces for a few years, he still couldn't win against Sebastian.

She handed the medicine to Dominic, briefly explaining the usage and dosage, then said, "Make sure he changes his bandages and keeps the wound dry. I have work at the law firm today, so I have to go." Sebastian suddenly called out to her, "Dominic is clumsy and can't do anything right. Come over tonight to change my bandages."

Joey refused without thinking, "If you think he can't do it well, you can come to the hospital."

"Joey, do you think you can just leave after hitting me?"

Sebastian got up and grabbed her wrist.

He finally had a chance to get close to Joey, and he wouldn't let it slip away.

Joey looked at him coldly. "Do you remember why I hit you, Mr. Winters? At most, it was self-defense. Even if you hire the best lawyer, you can't sue me."

Seeing her so indifferent, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He tried to soften his voice. "Joey, I just want you to change my bandages. Otherwise, I'll go replace Mr. Blackwood."

"Sebastian, can we keep our issues between us and not involve others?"

Sebastian smirked. "Then come to my place tonight and change my bandages."

Joey ignored him and turned to leave.

Maxwell made a rude gesture at Sebastian and then followed Joey.

Just moments ago, he had been full of swagger, but as soon as he caught up with Joey, he turned into an obedient puppy. "Joey, I bought you breakfast from your favorite place." Sebastian gritted his teeth in anger.

He glared at Dominic. "Hasn't the national TV station been wanting to interview me? Tell them, today at 10 AM, in my office."

Dominic looked at him, puzzled. "Mr. Winters, aren't you worried about ruining your image? After all, you...."

Sebastian's deep eyes glinted. "What's the big deal? I got beaten by my wife. It's not something to be ashamed of."
