True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 238 The Difficult Pursuit of a Lover

Jared, overhearing Julian's declaration, nodded in satisfaction. He patted Julian on the shoulder and said, "Take Alissa home to recuperate. We have a family doctor at home to take care of her. She'll be fine." Alissa immediately refused, "That's not necessary, Mr. Knight. My father will be here soon to pick me up. Todd can go with you."

"Alissa, this matter happened because of me. I must take full responsibility. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty. I hope you can give me a chance to make amends." Jared spoke earnestly, making it impossible for Alissa to refuse. At this moment, Clifton hurriedly walked over with his people. His expression was serious. "The Taylor Family can take care of Alissa. We wouldn't dream of burdening you any further."Clifton walked to Alissa's side, his eyes filled with deep pain and pity. He reached out and gently brushed Alissa's forehead. "Sweetheart, remember that you are not someone without boundaries and don't forgive just anyone. Always remember the pain you endured when giving birth to Todd. No one can ever take that from you."

Clifton forcibly took Alissa from Julian, his face dark with a sinister smile. "My daughter's injuries are something we can cope with. I will find the best doctors to take care of her, so you needn't concern yourself."

Clifton's words, though unspoken, were clear: he was a constant reminder of Julian's past transgressions, a living testament to his failures as a partner.

Suddenly empty-handed, Julian's heart tightened, and he said gently, "Mr. Taylor, I can take care of Alissa. Please give me a chance."

Clifton sneered, "Take care of her? Too late! When she was pregnant, she lived alone abroad, not daring to tell you or her family. Do you know how much she suffered back then? She fainted on the street. If it weren't for the kindness of strangers, we might have lost her and my grandson."

Hearing these words, Julian lowered his head in guilt. "Mr. Taylor, I'm sorry."

"Apologies mean nothing without action, Julian. Since you were so heartless back then, you should have known that you would never be together. Our Taylor Family's little princess, who was raised with such care, doesn't need to suffer for a man. Once her child is born and Todd's condition stabilizes, I will find her a reliable man. Legally, you are just Todd's father. I hope you understand."

After saying this, Clifton was about to leave with Alissa in his arms. Jared suddenly grabbed his arm. "Clifton, Julian hurt Alissa in the past, and he's trying to make amends. Please give him a chance. After all, they have two children together. You don't want to separate the kids from their parents, do you?"
