True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Joey, standing in the living room, heard it loud and clear. She knew exactly what it meant. Her heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her shirt tightly.

The doctor called her in and handed her two boxes of ointment. "Put this on three times a day-morning, afternoon, and night. Keep it dry. Once it heals, we'll see if everything's working right. You might need to help with that." Joey was puzzled. "How am I supposed to help?"

The doctor smiled. "By helping his sexual organ return to normal. You're his girlfriend. If you don't help, who will?"

"I'm not," Joey quickly denied.

The doctor ignored her and said, "Couples argue, but if you don't help him recover, you'll regret it later." He left without waiting for her response.

Joey stood there, feeling the ointment was a burden. She couldn't throw it away, but didn't want to keep it either.

Sebastian lay on the bed, wincing in pain. "Give me the ointment. I can do it myself."

Joey tossed it to him and blushed. "I'll be outside. Call me if you need anything."

Sebastian was in a lot of pain, especially in such a sensitive area. Applying the ointment made him wince, and by the end, he was sweating.

He sat on the bed, shirtless, with a towel around his waist. "Joey, you can come in now."

Joey walked in and frowned at his state. "How are you?"

Sebastian forced a smile. "It's not that serious. Even if it can't get erect, I won't blame you."

His words made Joey doubt her ears. She was about to speak when Sebastian continued, "I can't go back tonight. Can I stay here? You don't mind, do you?"

He spoke politely, without any ulterior motives. He assumed Joey would let him stay.

But Joey said, "You rest here. I'll get another room," and left without looking back.

Sebastian sat on the bed, stunned. The physical and emotional pain made it hard for him to sleep.

The next morning, Sebastian walked awkwardly due to the pain. Dominic noticed. "Mr. Winters, were you with Mrs. Blackwood last night?"

Sebastian, already in a bad mood, glared at him. "Are you mocking me?"

Dominic was confused. "If you weren't together, why are you walking like that?"

Sebastian snorted angrily. Even after five rounds of sex, he had never felt this bad.

Just then, he saw Julian walking with Joey. They were talking and looked close. Sebastian felt a pang of jealousy.

He dropped his luggage and quickly walked up to Joey. "Joey, I left my underwear in your bathroom. Did you see it when you were packing?"

Joey's face turned red, and Dominic's eyes widened behind her. Dominic thought, 'If they weren't together, how did his underwear end up in her bathroom? Did it grow legs and walk over there?' Dominic couldn't help but click his tongue. When Sebastian decided to be shameless, no one could beat him.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Sebastian realized he had misspoken. He forced a few awkward laughs. "Don't misunderstand. There was a little incident last night, so I slept in Mrs. Blackwood's room." The more he explained, the worse it sounded. Joey glared at him, her face flushed. Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Sebastian leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sorry, I misspoke. I shouldn't have said that."

"Shut up!" Joey snapped, pulling her luggage and heading towards the boarding gate.

Watching her disappear, Sebastian had a smug smile on his face. Just then, his phone rang. It was Theodore. He frowned and answered.

A frantic voice came through. "Sebastian, Isabella's stomach hurts. I took her to the hospital, and the doctor said it's a complication from her surgery years ago. If she stays in damp and dark places for too long, she'll get sick. She's been there for over a month, suffering a lot. She's also terrified of the dark. I'm begging you to let her come back. I'll make sure someone watches her closely so she won't harm Joey again."

Sebastian's good mood vanished. He frowned deeply and said coldly, "You better keep your word. If she doesn't learn her lesson, next time it won't be just a slap on the wrist."

After hanging up, Isabella immediately cried and asked, "Theodore, what did Sebastian say? Did he say he would come see me?"

Theodore sighed. "I've told you before, Sebastian doesn't like you. Now both families are at odds. Why do you insist on this? There are plenty of good men out there. Why can't you let him go?" Isabella looked at him pitifully. "Theodore, I'm influenced by you. You can't forget the girl in your heart either. Is it wrong for us to like someone?"

Theodore was speechless. A girl's image flashed in his mind. He helplessly patted Isabella's head. "Take care of yourself. I'll go ask the doctor about your condition."

He knocked on the office door, and inside was a woman in her fifties. She looked somewhat familiar. Theodore stood at the door for a few seconds, then tentatively asked, "Are you Auntie Debra?" Debra Hall was stunned. She stared at Theodore for a few seconds, then exclaimed, "You're Theodore, Connie's son?"

"It's me, Dr. Hall."

"You've grown so much. I haven't seen you since your mother passed away, but you still look the same as when you were a child."

Mentioning his mother, Theodore's eyes showed sadness. "Dr. Hall, did you perform my mother's surgery? What was she like when she passed?"

Debra sighed, her eyes slightly red. "She was covered in blood, barely alive. She held my hand tightly and begged me to save her child's life. She was severely injured. It was a miracle she could give birth. How is your sister? She must be very beautiful. I remember she had a rose-colored birthmark on her shoulder blade. I said back then that she was born to be a beauty, even her birthmark was beautiful."

Hearing this, Theodore was stunned. His sister didn't have that birthmark on her back.
