True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 221 I Wake Him Up

"Half an hour passed, the fire was out, but still no word on Sebastian.

The Winters family was in chaos.

Aurora, despite her pain, walked over to Joyce, held her hand, and said, ""Joyce, don't worry. No matter what happens to Sebastian, you're still part of the Winters family.""

Joyce got what she meant. She tried to stay calm. ""Grandma, Sebastian won't die. He promised he'd watch our baby grow up. I believe he's still alive.""

Aurora couldn't hold back her tears. She patted Joyce's hand and said, ""Alright, we'll wait for him together.""

Time passed, and the night sky started to lighten. Firefighters were still searching the ruins of Red Cottage.

Online posts were trending, with everyone waiting for news on Sebastian. The live stream was filled with prayers for him. The crisis at Winters Group abated a bit thanks to Sebastian's heroic act of saving his mom. In a distant suburban villa, a man sat quietly in a wheelchair, watching the events unfold. A hint of satisfaction crossed his once fierce face.

The assistant whispered, ""Sir, Red Cottage is in ruins. How could Sebastian survive? Just wait, Winters Group will be in chaos, and we can take advantage.""

The man in the wheelchair's face twitched coldly, his voice low. ""How's Cordelia?""

""She has some burns, but nothing life-threatening. She really helped us this time.""

He sneered, ""She was helping herself. If she hadn't done this, do you think she would've gotten out of Red Cottage?""

""True, but Sebastian risked his life to save her.""

He snorted, ""That's because Sebastian guessed our plan. To save Winters Group, he took the risk alone. He's smart and brave. It's a pity he died; finding such a strong opponent again won't be easy."" As they talked, the live stream suddenly showed a firefighter shouting, ""Mr. Winters has been found!""

The man's eyes darkened, staring at the video. Sebastian was carried out, his body blackened.

Sebastian's clothes were burnt to tatters. His face was so blackened it was unrecognizable. The emergency team rushed in, placing him on a stretcher for immediate treatment.

Joyce's legs felt like lead. She watched the doctors work on Sebastian, seeing his blackened face without a hint of movement.

Joyce couldn't hold back her emotions. Her throat tightened, making it hard to speak.

Benjamin stepped forward to support his daughter, softly comforting her, ""Joyce, my dear, you have to be strong. For yourself, for the baby. Promise me you'll hold on, no matter what."" Joyce's voice trembled. ""Dad, he'll be fine.""

Hearing this, Benjamin's eyes reddened. ""I'll help you over to see him. Maybe hearing your voice will get a reaction.""

Supported by Benjamin, Joyce stumbled to Sebastian's side. She opened her mouth several times before hoarsely calling out, ""Sebastian.""

Though Joyce's call was faint and hoarse, it was like a shot of adrenaline to Sebastian. He, who had shown no response, moved his fingers slightly, and his eyes fluttered open.

The doctor immediately said, ""He's alive. Get him to the hospital now.""

Hearing this, the Winters family breathed a sigh of relief. Derek, with moist eyes, looked at Joyce. ""Joyce, don't worry. I'll get the best doctors for Sebastian.""

Joyce clenched her fists, trying to stay calm. ""Mr. Winters, I'll go with him to the hospital. You handle things here-find out who gave Cordelia the gasoline and who tampered with the gas line. Catching that person might lead us to the mastermind.""

Impressed by her composure, Derek nodded. ""You're truly a member of the Winters family. Don't worry, I'll handle everything and have someone go with you."""

Half an hour later, Sebastian was in the emergency room. Everyone waited in the hallway.

Sophia rushed over when she heard the news. The cast on her thigh was off, and she hobbled over to Joyce.

Sophia looked at Joyce with teary eyes. ""Joyce, if you're sad, just let it out. Don't hold it in. Seeing you like this breaks my heart."" Tears streamed down her face.

Alexander, standing beside her, nudged her and whispered, ""Joyce hasn't cried yet. Why are you crying? Is that supposed to be comforting?""

Sophia glared at him. ""How I comfort my friend is none of your business. Shut your mouth!""

Alexander shook his head. ""Fine, I won't say anything. Take Joyce to sit for a while. She's been standing all night. It's not good for the baby.""

Seeing him finally say something sensible, Sophia calmed down. She held Joyce's hand and said, ""Joyce, you can't keep pushing yourself. Think about the baby. You're still in the first trimester, and overexertion can lead to a miscarriage. Have you forgotten?""

Joyce's gaze stayed fixed on the emergency room door, her hands tightly clenched. Though clearly anxious, she tried to appear calm. She said hoarsely, ""I want to wait here for him. I want him to know the baby, and I am waiting for him to wake up. If I'm not here, he won't wake up."

Everyone felt moved.

Theodore brought a chair from the doctor's office and placed it beside Joyce. He gently comforted her, ""Joyce, we won't go anywhere. We'll wait right here. Please sit down and wait, okay?""

Seeing her haggard face and her pretense of calmness, Theodore's heart ached. He gently ruffled Joyce's hair, his voice soft. ""Joyce, be good. Sit down. The last thing Sebastian would want is to see you collapse from exhaustion."" Seeing the worried looks in everyone's eyes, Joyce obediently sat down. But as soon as she did, the emergency room door opened. She immediately stood up and rushed to the doctor, urgently asking, ""Doctor, how is he?""

The doctor, looking concerned, said, ""The patient has inhaled a lot of smoke, his lungs are infected, and his vital signs are declining. We need someone who's close to him, someone who can awaken his system.""" Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, fearing the worst. Only Joyce was excited. ""I can wake him up. Let me in."""
