True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 211 Illegitimate Child

Elise was wearing a light blue dress. The moment the chandelier crashed onto her back, the dress was stained a horrifying crimson. Blood dripped down her body.

Leonard saw this and immediately rushed over. His voice was filled with unprecedented panic, "Mom, are you okay?"

Elise closed her eyes in pain, and seeing Derek unharmed, she smiled slightly in relief. She was about to speak but then fainted.

Leonard immediately picked up Elise and ran outside.

Seeing this, Sebastian quickly instructed Dominic. "Lock this place down, check the surveillance, and see who tampered with the chandelier."

Sebastian replied, "Yes, Mr. Winters."

Sebastian then walked over to Joey and comfortingly patted her head. "Don't be afraid, I'll go check. I'll have Theodore and the others help you handle things here."

Joey, seeing so much blood on Elise, was scared to tears. "Mrs. Guise will be okay, right? Her health has always been delicate..."

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. It's just a superficial wound. I'll get the best doctor for her." After saying this, Sebastian kissed Joey's forehead, gave some instructions to Theodore and Alexander, and then hurriedly followed Leonard. They rushed to the hospital, and Elise was taken into the operating room.

Usually calm and composed, Leonard was pacing back and forth in the hallway. His eyes were bloodshot.

'What kind of feelings does Elise have for Derek that makes her risk her life to save him even without her memory? Yet, over twenty years ago, she was betrayed and hunted while pregnant. Who is it that almost caused her to die in a fire and frequently suffer from mental instability?' Thinking of all the hardships Elise had endured, a cold glint appeared in Leonard's narrow eyes. His fists were tightly clenched.

Leonard blamed himself for being too eager to have Elise and Derek meet. If she hadn't come today, she wouldn't be the one lying on that operating table now. Seeing Leonard's pale, tense face, Sebastian, for the first time, didn't respond coldly. He comforted in a deep voice, "I arranged the best doctor; she'll be fine."

reassurance, Leonard didn't relax at all; instead, he became more agitated. He stared coldly at Sebastian. "She has a phobia of hospitals. Seeing doctors in white coats triggers her. No matter how good the doctor is, it
