True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 322 Call Her Mom

Dr. Isaac rushed in and started checking Benjamin out.

He turned to Joey and said, "He's in heart failure. We need to get him to the OR right now. This is really serious, Ms. Blackwood." Joey was stunned.

She had been through so many close calls over the past two years.

But this time, Isaac's words hit her hard.

She grabbed Isaac's arm and said, "You told me he was just in a coma and not in any real danger. What's changed?"

Isaac replied, "His heart was already weak, and lying around like this every day, heart failure can sneak up fast. Don't worry, we'll do everything we can to save him. I'm just giving you a heads-up." Benjamin was wheeled into the emergency room.

Joey stood alone at the door, pacing back and forth.

Ten minutes later, a young nurse came out and handed Joey a critical condition notice, saying, "Ms. Blackwood, you need to sign here. The patient is in grave danger."

Joey held back her grief and signed her name.

For two years, she kept telling herself that Benjamin would wake up.

Even though Benjamin hadn't woken up, as long as he was alive, she still had a father.

But now, her father might leave forever.

Thinking of this, Joey's back hit the wall heavily, and her body slowly slid down until she was squatting on the ground.

When Sophia arrived, she saw Joey like this.

She immediately ran over and hugged Joey tightly.

Sophia gently comforted her, "Joey, don't be afraid. Mr. Blackwood will recover."

Joey's long-held tears finally fell at this moment.

She cried on Sophia's shoulder, saying, "Sophia, if my dad dies, I don't know what will keep me going."

Sophia understood exactly what she meant.

After Joey lost her own child and divorced Sebastian, she didn't collapse but kept herself strong.

That was because she had a belief in her heart, waiting for Benjamin to wake up.

If even this hope was shattered, Joey knew she would lose the last piece of her strength.

Sophia kept gently stroking her back, comforting her, "Joey, don't cry. Even if something bad happens to Mr. Blackwood, you still have me, your grandparents, your brother, and many people who love you. You're not alone. We all love you very much, and you must stay strong."

Joey's tears kept falling.

At this moment, Alexander ran over.

Seeing the two of them hugging and crying, he immediately asked, "What happened to Mr. Blackwood? I just finished surgery and heard he was sent to the emergency room."

Joey wiped her tears and said, "The doctor just had me sign a critical condition notice. I don't know what's going on. They told me to prepare for the worst."

Alexander patted Joey's shoulder and comforted her, "I'll go in and take a look. Don't overthink it. A critical condition notice doesn't necessarily mean he will die. Sophia, you take care of her first."

After saying that, he quickly walked into the emergency room.

Half an hour later, Alexander came out.

His expression was grim.

Alexander looked at Joey, then at Sophia and said, "Joey, let's prepare for the worst. Mr. Blackwood had heart surgery and severe brain damage. It's a miracle he's held on this long."

"Didn't the foreign experts say he could only last two years at most? Lying in bed every day is also very painful for him. Passing away might not be a bad thing."

Hearing his words, Joey's sadness, which had just calmed down, surged again.

"He could pass away at any time unless a miracle happens."

Sophia immediately jumped in, "Joey, isn't there still that miracle-working doctor? What if we find her within these ten days? Mr. Blackwood could be saved."

Alexander frowned. "We've been looking for two years, using all our resources and connections, but we haven't found her. How could we find her in just ten days now?"

Sophia shot him a glare, "Alexander, if you can't say anything nice, just keep your mouth shut. Do you have to stab her in the heart? Can't you offer some comfort?"

"I'm a doctor. I had to be honest. I couldn't give her false hope, only to have it crushed again."

"But you can't say it like that. Can't you see how upset Joey is? You're extinguishing her last bit of hope. What will she do then?" As Sophia spoke, tears kept falling. She knew that Benjamin was the only hope for Joey to keep going. If he was gone, she didn't know if Joey would fall seriously ill or be unable to recover.

Seeing this, Alexander didn't dare to speak anymore. He just sighed deeply and called Theodore.

Another half hour passed, and Benjamin was wheeled out of the operating room.

Joey immediately rushed up and asked, "Mr. King, how is my dad?"

Isaac shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. We've done everything we can. Spend as much time as you can with him over the next few days to make his passing more peaceful."

It was like a death sentence for Benjamin.

Joey's last bit of hope was finally shattered.

She held back her grief and nodded heavily, saying, "Okay, thank you, Mr. King."

She followed Benjamin to the ward.

Joey grabbed his hand tightly. She wanted Benjamin to feel her reluctance and miraculously wake up.

She talked to Benjamin about many things from their childhood, all their happiest and most joyful memories.

When Theodore arrived, he saw Joey with tears streaming down her face.

He couldn't help but take off his glasses and rub his sore eyes.

He had seen Joey's efforts over the past two years.

She had always been trying to live strongly, with only one purpose: to wait for Benjamin to wake up.

She had waited for two years, but consequently get this result.

Theodore walked over with some heartache, patted Joey's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Joey, I'll go prepare the things needed for Mr. Blackwood's funeral. You stay here with him."

Joey looked at him with tearful eyes, "Theodore, I don't want to give up yet. I don't want my dad to leave me."

As she spoke, her tears fell drop by drop on Benjamin's hand.

Theodore held her in his arms, gently stroking her head.

"Joey, I know you're sad, but Mr. Blackwood is already like this. You don't want him to continue suffering, do you? It's better to let him go peacefully than to suffer like this. Even without your dad, you still have me, your grandparents, and..." He wanted to say Paxon but stopped himself.

He was afraid Joey would sense something.

Suddenly, something came to Theodore's mind and he immediately took out his phone, playing a recording.

He handed it to Joey and said, "This is from Paxon. He asked me to comfort you."

Joey played the recording and immediately heard Paxon's innocent voice.

"Aunt Joey, don't be sad. You still have me to protect you. Don't cry. Seeing you cry makes me sad. If I call you mom, will you feel better?"

The recording ended, followed by another one.

"Mom, I love you!"
