True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 140 I Miss You So Much

Joey was still in shock when she heard Sebastian call her.

She walked over to his bedside, dazed, and said, "I'm fine, but you're seriously hurt. You need to rest."

Without a word, Sebastian pulled her into his arms and tore open her shirt, revealing gauze on her back. The skin underneath was damaged, and her plum blossom birthmark was gone.

Seeing Joey's wound, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew this was aimed at her. Destroying the birthmark was the goal.

Now, besides him and Theodore, a third person knew Joey was Connie's daughter.

Sebastian's cold fingers gently touched her skin. "Does it hurt?" he asked hoarsely.

Joey shook her head. "The doctor said if you hadn't washed it with water in time, it would've been worse."

She still remembered Sebastian, one hand covering his bleeding wound, the other holding a water gun to wash off the acid. That image was etched in her mind, making her heart ache and her body tremble. Lost in thought, she suddenly heard Sebastian's hoarse voice.

"But I still feel so guilty. If I hadn't left you alone, you wouldn't have been in danger." He gently stroked her head, his eyes filled with pain.

He was terrified. 'What if I hadn't shown up? What would Joey have done alone? Would she have been disfigured?' The thought made his heart tremble.

He held Joey close, his hot lips pressed against her back, and a broken voice escaped his throat. "Joey, I'm so scared. Can I hold you for a while?"

Joey didn't struggle and quietly leaned against him.

Both were injured, and any movement was painful.
