Chapter 130 Begging for Forgiveness
Sebastian's eyes were full of pain.
He held Joey gently, stroking her back with a trembling voice. "Joey, you can yell at me, hit me if it helps. Just don't bottle it up, okay?" Joey didn't resist. She was too tired to argue or feel sad about Sebastian anymore.
She smiled faintly. "Sebastian, I should thank you. If I'd fallen for Julian before knowing about the child, it would've hurt more.
Tonight didn't cost me much. Just some gossip and pitying looks. People will forget soon enough."
Just like when everyone at work knew she was Sebastian's kept woman. She was used to rumors; maybe it was her fate.
As a kid, she was gossiped about because of Angie. As an adult, it was her relationships.
Joey spoke calmly, as if it wasn't her problem.
Sebastian's heart ached. "Joey, was the surgery painful? Were you scared by all the blood?"
Joey's calmness wavered. She looked up, tears in her eyes.
"The doctor said it would hurt, but I didn't feel it. Maybe because no physical pain compares to the pain here." She pointed to her heart, smiling slightly.
Her calm facade, despite the pain, broke Sebastian.
