True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 142 I Didn't Lose Anything

Sebastian was about to call Joey to ask why she hadn't returned when the hospital room door opened. Isabella pushed Cordelia in, both standing at the doorway.

Isabella, still smiling despite being kicked out last night, said, "Sebastian, Mrs. Winters asked me to bring her to see you."

Sebastian's mood soured instantly. "You just woke up. Shouldn't you be resting instead of wandering around?"

Cordelia, looking pale but sounding strong, stared at Sebastian's wounds. "Are you risking your life for Joey? What good is she, other than causing trouble? Why are you so obsessed with her?" Sebastian's eyes flashed coldly. "She's my woman. How I treat her is my business. Living or dying for her is my choice. I don't need anyone telling me what to do!" "Sebastian, I'm your mother. Are you not even going to listen to me?"

"You used to be. Ever since you caused my child's death, you're not anymore. If it weren't for you saving Grandma, do you think you'd still be in the Winters Family?" Cordelia coughed

anger. "Sebastian, what's wrong with Isabella? How is she worse than Joey? She was the one you chose as your wife since childhood. You can't be so heartless to her." Sebastian sneered. "Really? Was she really the one I chose as my wife when I was a child?"

Both women flinched slightly at his words, but it quickly passed.

Isabella smiled to ease the tension. "Mrs. Winters, I don't feel wronged. Even if Sebastian never marries me, I'll always take care of you."

Cordelia patted Isabella's hand. "Don't worry, I won't let anything bad happen to you."

They awkwardly left the room. As they reached the elevator, they saw Joey coming out.

Cordelia, remembering Sebastian's disdain, flared up in anger. She stood from the wheelchair and swung at Joey.

Joey, looking down at her phone, was stunned by the hit. Seeing who it was, hatred flashed in her eyes. "Mrs. Winters, did the car accident damage your brain? Hitting people in public like this." "I'm hitting you, you bitch. If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have almost died. Why don't you stay away from him? He doesn't want you anymore, yet you keep chasing after him. Don't you feel cheap?"

Joey's face went numb from the slap, and her eyes sparkled with stars. She clenched her fist. "Since you can hit and make a scene, it means your brain is fine and your body is okay. So don't blame me for being rude!" She raised her arm and slapped Cordelia hard, making her ears ring.

Cordelia, shocked that Joey dared to hit her, trembled with anger. "Joey, how dare you hit me!"
