True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 283 Loving Him for Seven Years

Back in the day, Sebastian lost his sight, and Number 11 lost her voice. They used this account to chat.

This phone was tricked out for the blind, reading every message out loud. And this number? Strictly for Number 11; he didn't hit up anyone else.

Sebastian stared at the message on his phone, deep in thought: [Number 99, can you see me? I'm waving at you.]

'So, the chick in front of me is the Number 11 I've been hunting for.' Sebastian glanced over again, and the woman, Lena Hayes, signed at him: [Number 99, long time no see.]

Seeing this, Sebastian's eyes locked. This was the only sign language sentence Number 11 had taught him back then. She'd said if they ever met again, she'd use this to let him know it was her.

Sebastian stood there, his intense gaze fixed on Lena by the window.

All this info was only known to him and Number 11. He shouldn't doubt her, but the timing of Lena's appearance made him suspicious.

'I just had a blowout with Joyce, and now Number 11 shows up. Coincidence or someone pulling strings? If it's a setup, who is she? And where's the real Number 11?' Thinking this, Sebastian nodded slightly at her and walked into the café. Lena couldn't hide her excitement. "Number 99, how've you been?"

Her voice was soft and soothing, like a lullaby.

Sebastian smirked. "What took you so long to find me?"

Lena's eyes welled up instantly. She stared at Sebastian for a while before speaking, "After I got out of the hospital, things went south at home. My dad's company hit a financial crisis, my stepmom ran off with another guy, and my dad, stressed out, jumped off a building.
