True Love Deserves a Second Chance

The news reported that the head of the Royal Guard, Ryan, was injured and fell into the deep sea while saving a royal descendant.

They searched for days without success and announced Ryan's death.

This news hit Joey like a bomb, shattering her completely.noveldrama

All her hopes burst like soap bubbles at that moment.

Search efforts were unsuccessful.

Death was announced.

To this day, it has been half a month since Sebastian's accident.

They hadn't found him in half a month, and Joey naturally knew what the outcome would be.

However, she always held onto hope, waiting for a miracle to happen.

It was this news that completely pushed her into despair.

Joey sat alone in her room, staring blankly while sitting on the bed.

It had been over ten days since the incident, and it seemed like she had cried all her tears.

Although hearing this news made her heart ache, more painful than being pricked by needles.

But she couldn't shed a single tear.

She finally understood that when a person is in the deepest sorrow, they can't even cry.

The room was dark, with only a sliver of moonlight shining through the curtains, illuminating Joey's frail body.

She sat there, hugging her knees, burying her face in them, and stayed like that all night.

In the morning, she still helped Paxon wash up, dressed him in a handsome little outfit, and went downstairs.

Seeing her like this, the whole family was worried about her.

Aurora walked over, held her hand, and said with a choked voice, "Joey, don't worry, even if Sebastian is gone, you will always be part of the Winters Family."

Joey didn't show any pain; instead, she smiled faintly, "Grandma, you're wrong. Sebastian will definitely come back. I believe in him."

Joey continued as usual, taking Paxon to the garden to play soccer and then watering the flowers.

After playing and sweating, they went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Watching her go upstairs, Derek said worriedly, "Joey must have seen that news. Her state isn't right; she might be sick."

Leonard frowned, "She used to have depression, which relapsed several times. She had just recovered not long ago. This blow probably triggered her illness again."

"What should we do? Sebastian is already gone. We can't let her fall ill again. If that happens, how pitiful would Paxon be?"

The whole family was engulfed in sorrow.

One was the pain of losing all hope for Sebastian's survival, and the other was worried

about how Joey would cope with this blow.

Before nine o'clock, many people arrived.

Everyone had a gloomy and painful expression on their faces.

Benjamin, not seeing Joey in the living room, asked worriedly, "Where's Joey?"

Elise sighed and pointed upstairs, "She's upstairs with Paxon. She wants to pretend nothing happened and doesn't want to believe that Sebastian is gone."

Hearing this, Benjamin's eyes turned red with sorrow.

"Joey is so pitiful. Such a good child, why is her fate so tragic?"

Susan immediately comforted, "Don't worry, Joey is a sensible child. She will figure it out on her own."

When Joey came downstairs with Paxon, she saw many people sitting in the living

room.

They were all her family and friends.

She wasn't as heartbroken as they imagined; instead, she smiled calmly.

"You all came, but I have to take Paxon to his parent-child class, so I won't be able to stay with you."

After saying that, she held Paxon and was about to leave.

Paxon's bright eyes looked at her, "Mom, there's no class today."

Joey patted his head, "You remembered wrong. Your teacher said there is, so there is. Let's go, or we'll be late."

She held Paxon and was about to walk out of the living room.

Theodore immediately followed, "Joey, I'll drive you."

"No need, I can drive myself."

"It just rained, the roads are slippery. I don't feel comfortable. Besides, I haven't been to Paxon's class in a while. I want to see his progress."

After saying that, he took Paxon from Joey's arms and left with his arm around her shoulders.

In her current state, Joey couldn't drive.

How could he let her go out alone with Paxon?

Watching them leave, Aurora sighed, "We, the Winters Family, have let Joey down. Now that Sebastian is gone, how will they live?"

Aurora spoke while wiping her tears.

Sebastian's accident made her very sad, but thinking about Joey made her even sadder. The whole room was filled with sorrow.

Until Julian spoke.

"Before Sebastian left, he made a will with me. He divided his assets into three parts: one for his parents, and the other two for Joey and her son. He was already prepared for not coming back."

Hearing this, everyone started to cry.

Even now, it felt like a dream to them. No one believed that Sebastian was really gone. Joey took Paxon to the parent-child class and saw his teacher waiting for them in the classroom.

Paxon was a bit surprised, "Ms. Butler, didn't you say there's no class today?"

Paxon's teacher smiled and patted his head, "I'm giving you a class today because you've been doing so well."

In less than half an hour, Theodore not only brought Paxon's teacher but also several of his classmates.

Theodore wanted Joey to be busy so she might forget the pain Sebastian brought her.

Joey accompanied Paxon in the parent-child class, doing exercises and playing games with other kids.

Paxon performed very well and was praised by his teacher and other parents every time.

This made Joey feel very proud.

The two-hour class finally ended.

Paxon hugged Joey's neck and said, "Mom, let's go eat pizza at the place Dad took us

last time."

Theodore's heart tightened when he heard this.

He was worried that Joey would be sad hearing anything about Sebastian.

But to his surprise, Joey agreed happily.

They drove to the pizza place.

Paxon pointed at the sticky notes on the wall, "Mom, can you find the one Dad and I

wrote last time?"

Joey looked at the wall covered in notes, all with blessings from customers.

But she still found the one from Sebastian among so many notes.

She immediately took it down.

When she saw the words clearly, her eyes finally filled with tears.

[Joey, live well. No matter where I am, I will always protect you.]

This sentence finally broke Joey's long-held emotions. She squatted on the ground and cried in sorrow.
