True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 312 Seeing Their Child

Alan called over the Winters, Taylor, Vale, and Knight families to explain the situation and lay out the stakes. Everyone agreed this was the best way to protect Joyce and her baby. They all decided to go with the story that Alissa's twins were born prematurely and were in incubators, while Joyce's baby didn't make it.

She looked at Julian through her tears. "Julian, once the babies are okay, come back to City C with us. I want to make sure Joyce's child is safe and sound."

Julian gently wiped her tears away. "Alright, don't cry. We lost one, but Todd's surgery went well. He'll be out in a few days, and then we'll head to City C together."

After sorting everything out, Sebastian went back to Joyce's hospital room. He sat by her side, holding her hand tightly.

He wished this was all just a bad dream, from which they could awaken and find themselves back seven years ago when things were simpler and they trusted each other completely.

He kissed the back of her hand, his voice rough. "Joyce, I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. For your safety and the baby's, I had to do this. I know you'll hate me, but I don't regret it. You've already suffered so much because of me, and I can't let you get hurt anymore. Whether we're together or not, you'll always be the one I love."

He leaned in and kissed her lips softly, tears falling onto her face. He knew that once she woke up, everything would change. They wouldn't have a future together.
