True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 318 Two Years Later

Seeing this, Leonard got the hint about what Elise was up to.

She was acting all crazy, trying to get back to Leonard.

He gently patted Elise's head and asked softly, "Mom, did you remember something?"

Elise was already a mess, crying her eyes out, trying to keep it together.

She finally said, "Leo, Sebastian and Bianca are my kids; they're your real brother and sister."

Hearing this, Leonard's eyes got all teary.

Just like Joyce thought, Elise was the real Cordelia.

While wiping Elise's tears, he tried to calm her down, "Mom, things are pretty bad right now. That nanny could wake up any second. Let's keep it short. What happened back then?" Elise sniffled a bit.

Then she said, "Your dad Derek, Kevin, and I were all college buddies. Back in school, Kevin liked me, but I was already into your dad. I turned him down, and he got all bitter, thinking I didn't want him because of his disability."

"I married Derek and we had Bianca and Sebastian. Then I became pregnant with you, and the whole family eagerly awaited your arrival."

"But one day at the beauty salon, I passed out. When I woke up, there was Kevin. He forced himself on me. When I said no, he poured hot water on my face. He even showed me videos of the fake Cordelia with the Winters Family." "Seeing my home and identity taken over by someone else, I almost lost it. I was disfigured, and my vocal cords were messed up. Even if I escaped and found Derek to tell him I was the real Cordelia, he wouldn't believe me." Elise continued, "They locked me up and starved me, but I survived for you, my baby. One time, I snuck out while the guard was asleep. When they caught me, they took me to that warehouse, planning to burn me alive. The guy who took me there was the Winters Family's butler, Kyle, because I found out he was stealing money from the Winters Family."

Elise added, "The fake Cordelia used that to make him work for her. A beggar saved me, and after escaping, I lost my memory completely, only knowing I had a baby inside me. That's how I lived a tough life and finally gave birth to you." Hearing this, Leonard was already crying.

He had thought about the pain Elise went through but never imagined it was this bad.
