True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 238 The Difficult Pursuit of a Lover

Jared, overhearing Julian's declaration, nodded in satisfaction. He patted Julian on the shoulder and said, "Take Alissa home to recuperate. We have a family doctor at home to take care of her. She'll be fine." Alissa immediately refused, "That's not necessary, Mr. Knight. My father will be here soon to pick me up. Todd can go with you."

"Alissa, this matter happened because of me. I must take full responsibility. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty. I hope you can give me a chance to make amends." Jared spoke earnestly, making it impossible for Alissa to refuse. At this moment, Clifton hurriedly walked over with his people. His expression was serious. "The Taylor Family can take care of Alissa. We wouldn't dream of burdening you any further."Clifton walked to Alissa's side, his eyes filled with deep pain and pity. He reached out and gently brushed Alissa's forehead. "Sweetheart, remember that you are not someone without boundaries and don't forgive just anyone. Always remember the pain you endured when giving birth to Todd. No one can ever take that from you."

Clifton forcibly took Alissa from Julian, his face dark with a sinister smile. "My daughter's injuries are something we can cope with. I will find the best doctors to take care of her, so you needn't concern yourself."

Clifton's words, though unspoken, were clear: he was a constant reminder of Julian's past transgressions, a living testament to his failures as a partner.

Suddenly empty-handed, Julian's heart tightened, and he said gently, "Mr. Taylor, I can take care of Alissa. Please give me a chance."

Clifton sneered, "Take care of her? Too late! When she was pregnant, she lived alone abroad, not daring to tell you or her family. Do you know how much she suffered back then? She fainted on the street. If it weren't for the kindness of strangers, we might have lost her and my grandson."

Hearing these words, Julian lowered his head in guilt. "Mr. Taylor, I'm sorry."

"Apologies mean nothing without action, Julian. Since you were so heartless back then, you should have known that you would never be together. Our Taylor Family's little princess, who was raised with such care, doesn't need to suffer for a man. Once her child is born and Todd's condition stabilizes, I will find her a reliable man. Legally, you are just Todd's father. I hope you understand."

After saying this, Clifton was about to leave with Alissa in his arms. Jared suddenly grabbed his arm. "Clifton, Julian hurt Alissa in the past, and he's trying to make amends. Please give him a chance. After all, they have two children together. You don't want to separate the kids from their parents, do you?"

Clifton said indifferently, "Rest assured, we won't deprive your son of visitation rights, but if he wants to reconcile with my daughter, that's impossible."

Without waiting for the Knight Family to react, he left with Alissa in his arms.

At the door, Clifton saw Joyce staring at him in a daze. The indifferent expression on his face suddenly showed a hint of concern. "Joyce, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"

Joyce shook her head. "Alissa shielded me."

"Thank God for that. She still fulfilled her responsibility as an older sister. My niece, take me to see Sebastian."

Joyce looked at him puzzled. 'How do I become Clifton's niece?'

Alissa, in Clifton's arms, gently tugged at his collar and gave him a look. He then realized he had misspoken. He immediately smiled and said, "You call my mom 'grandma,' so so naturally, that makes you my niece. And what kind of uncle would I be if I didn't spoil my favorite niece with a welcome gift?"

After saying this, he put Alissa down and really took out a small gift box from his pocket, handing it to Joyce.

Joyce immediately pulled her hand back and shook her head quickly. "Mr. Taylor, I can't accept this."

Alissa said, "Alright, actually, this is for Sebastian. He's injured, and I should show some concern. If I don't give it to him, Sebastian will trouble me."

Seeing her cute appearance, which was exactly like Connie's back in the day, Clifton felt a pang of heartache and gently patted Joyce's head. "Take me to see Sebastian, and we'll leave after that." Watching them leave, Jared glared at Julian. "You useless fool. It's been so long, and you still haven't won her back? What have you been doing?"

Julian's face was extremely grim. "I've pursued her, but she doesn't want me. There's nothing I can do."

Jared sneered, "Really? You just went to her hometown once. If it weren't for Beatrice letting you into the Taylor Family because of me, do you think Clifton, who dotes on his daughter so much, wouldn't have kicked you out? Julian, a man must know what he wants at critical moments. Once you decide, you must pursue it at all costs. You hurt Alissa so deeply. Do you think a few meals and some flowers can make up for it?

You heard Clifton just now. Alissa suffered so much when she was pregnant with Todd. What woman can easily forgive that?"

Jared sighed and shook his head as he left.

Elaine patted Julian's arm sympathetically and comforted him, "Alissa is injured and pregnant now. Women are most emotionally vulnerable at this time. Julian, you have to work hard. I'm still waiting for you two to get back together." Julian watched his parents walk away and bent down to pick up Todd from the ground. He looked at Todd's cute and clever face and frowned. "Do you also think I'm useless?"

Todd shook his head. "No, Daddy! You're very impressive in court, but you're not attentive enough to Mommy. You don't even know what Mommy likes. How can she forgive you?"

Julian frowned at Todd. He had lived with Alissa for half a year, and it seemed she had always been accommodating him.

Julian was always busy with work and rarely paid attention to her life. Even when it came to gifts and flowers, he had his assistant handle it. In fact, he really didn't know what Alissa liked. He didn't even know she was the daughter of the Taylor Family.

Thinking of this, Julian felt a bit sour. "Okay, I know what to do now. Will you help me win Mommy back?"

Todd smiled and nodded. "Go for it, Daddy!"

Joyce led Clifton into Sebastian's hospital room.

Seeing the two of them talking as they walked, Sebastian felt a bit jealous. He immediately walked over and pulled Joyce into his arms, looking at her with some reproach. "Are you silly, being so close to everyone? Be careful, or this bad guy will take you away."

Clifton raised his hand in anger, making a gesture as if to hit him. "If it weren't for Joyce being here, I'd knock you down. I came all this way to see you, and you call me a bad guy." Sebastian smiled at him. "If you're not a bad guy, then what are you? Why are you being so attentive to my wife for no reason?"

Clifton said, "Don't play dumb. Believe it or not, I'll take Joyce away and make you a bachelor!"

Seeing Clifton angry, Sebastian finally felt better. He smiled smugly at Clifton. "Becoming a bachelor is impossible because Joyce and I are about to become a married couple."
