True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Upon hearing this, Joey froze completely.

Elise's words kept echoing in her ears.

Elise said Sebastian was hit by a bomb and fell into the sea, his fate still unknown.

Even if someone falls into the sea uninjured, their chances of survival are slim, let alone Sebastian who was hit by a bomb.

At the thought of this possibility, Joey couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her pale lips tightly bitten, unable to utter a word.

Leonard immediately stepped forward and grabbed her chin.

He looked at her worriedly, "Joey, relax your mouth, don't bite. Sebastian just hasn't been found yet; anything is possible."

Elise cried even more sorrowfully. Seeing Joey like this made her heart ache even more.

She knew how difficult the journey had been for Joey and Sebastian.

Joey had finally hoped for their family of three to reunite, and now Sebastian was in trouble again.

This would be a major blow to any woman.

Even though Joey was considered strong.

But Joey couldn't take so many blows.

Elise gently stroked Joey's cheek, choking up, "Joey, until the last moment, we must

not give up. Sebastian told me one last thing: whether he lives or dies, he wants you to raise Paxon well.

I think he is most worried about you two. Let's wait for him together, okay?

What if a miracle happens?"

Hearing Elise's words, Joey's tears flowed even more fiercely.

She finally made a hoarse sound, "He promised me he would come back. He won't break his promise."

"Yes, he won't break his promise. We'll wait for him together."

The two helped Joey to the sofa.

At that moment, Paxon got out of bed.

Seeing Joey crying so sadly, he seemed to sense something.

Paxon immediately ran barefoot into Joey's arms.

His little hands kept wiping Joey's tears while crying and comforting her.

"Mom, don't be sad. Seeing you cry makes me want to cry, but I promised Dad I would protect you well. Dad will definitely come back."

Hearing Paxon say this, Joey felt like she was about to break down.

Sebastian might have planned everything long ago.

He told her he would come back, but privately he had prepared everything for her.

Joey forcibly suppressed her emotions, tightly hugging Paxon, saying, "Okay, I won't cry. We'll wait for your dad together."

The two hugged each other, saying they wouldn't cry, but the tears kept flowing. Elise's heart was breaking seeing this.

She took Paxon from Joey's arms, comforting them, "Joey, the Royal Rescue Team is searching the sea. As soon as they have news, Bianca will call. Don't cry, we have a lot to do."

Joey wiped her tears with a tissue and said, "I want to go to Snowpeakia country. I want to wait at the scene."

Leonard immediately stopped her, "No, Christopher fell into the sea with Sebastian, but Christopher's remnants are still around. It would be dangerous for you to go. If something happens to you, what about Paxon?"

Joey looked at him with tearful eyes, "But staying here every day is like sitting on pins and needles. I can't sleep for a minute. I want Sebastian to know I'm by his side, urging him to come back."

Seeing her haggard face, Leonard patted her shoulder with some pity.

"I understand, but for the bigger picture, it's safest for you to stay here. We're doing everything we can to rescue Sebastian. If something happens to you, we won't have the energy to save you. Do you understand?"

Joey buried her head in her knees, her shoulders shaking.

She knew it was dangerous to look for Sebastian, but she couldn't wait any longer.

She couldn't endure this painful torment.

Elise took Paxon to the bedroom, dressed him, and washed his face.

Although her heart ached, she knew she had to be stronger than Joey.

Being strong was indeed too tragic.

Elise deeply understood Joey's current pain.

Joey sat in the living room, crying alone for who knows how long.

It wasn't until the smell of food wafted from the kitchen that she realized Paxon hadn't eaten.noveldrama

She immediately wiped her tears and wanted to check the kitchen, but saw Paxon quietly sitting beside her.

His bright eyes had two big teardrops, but he was holding them back.

Seeing Paxon like this, Joey's heart ached even more.

She knew Paxon was even sadder inside.

Paxon had finally learned they were his parents and had eagerly awaited the day to return to the Winters Family.

But now came the news of his father's accident.

For a two-year-old child, this was indeed a huge blow.

Joey instantly understood that Paxon needed Sebastian more than she did.

She lovingly held him in her arms, kissed his chubby cheek, and said hoarsely, "Baby, I

will be as strong as you. We'll wait for your dad together, okay?"

Paxon nodded heavily and said, "Okay, Mom hasn't eaten for days. Grandma made your favorite spaghetti. Let's go eat."

"Okay, I promise you, I'll eat more today."

She carried Paxon into the kitchen, and Elise came out with the food.

The spaghetti still tasted like it did when she was a child, but Joey had no appetite.

But she still sat down and put Paxon in the high chair.

Joey blew on the spaghetti in front of him to cool it.

Then she handed it to him, saying, "Eat up. Grandma's spaghetti is delicious. I loved it

as a child and could eat two plates."

Elise forced a smile and said, "Yes, your mom was small but had a big appetite. She always ate so much I worried she'd burst."

Seeing the atmosphere lighten, Paxon immediately smiled and said, "I want to eat two plates like Mom."

Then he picked up his fork and started eating.

Joey also forced herself to take a big bite.

She knew how difficult life would be ahead.

If she waited for Sebastian and he was injured, with injuries that could never heal, what

would she do?

If she couldn't wait for Sebastian, what would she and Paxon do?

These were the most realistic problems before her.

She had to consider them.

Seeing Joey eat some, Elise said with concern, "Joey, you and Paxon should move to

the Old Mansion. We'll wait for Sebastian together. There are more people there, and

we can look after each other. I don't feel safe with just you two here."

Joey agreed without thinking, "Okay, I'll pack my things and move today."

Elise didn't expect Joey to agree so quickly. She immediately took out her phone and said, "I'll have the butler Timothy prepare rooms for you and Paxon. You'll stay in Sebastian's old room."

After eating, Joey packed her things and followed Elise back to the Old Mansion. Seeing Joey move in, Aurora was overjoyed.

Aurora looked at her with concern, "Joey, you've been through so much. Our Winters Family owes you too much."

Joey smiled, "Grandma, don't say that. Paxon and I will stay here and keep you company."

"Good, we'll live happily together as a family."

Derek held Paxon, reluctant to let go.

He either played with Paxon or fed him.

He always felt that seeing Paxon was like seeing Sebastian.

Days passed one by one.

Joey started each day with hope and ended it in disappointment.

Until one day, she saw a piece of foreign news, and her whole state finally collapsed.
