True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 332 Finding the Miracle-Working Doctor

Joyce grabbed the report, totally not expecting this outcome.

She had requested the paternity test to verify if Marissa was Benjamin's daughter. But she never expected to find out they were not related at all. Marissa was definitely Angie's kid, born the same year as her.

Back then, Angie was pregnant with Marissa, but Marissa wasn't Benjamin's daughter.

Joyce quickly pieced it all together.

Her hatred for Angie grew even stronger.

Angie had tricked Benjamin from the start.

She claimed she was pregnant with his kid, so Benjamin had to marry her.

Over the years, he'd been furious with her and mocked by the neighbors because of her unfaithfulness.

Joyce felt bad for Benjamin having to live like that.

He was such a kind and dutiful person. But because of Angie, his life was a mess.

Thinking about it, Joyce glared at Marissa coldly.

Her voice was icy, "Do you get it now? Your mom Angie used her pregnancy to force my dad to marry her, but the kid was never his. Your mom ruined my dad's life." Marissa was already fuming from the report, and hearing Joyce, she raised her hand to slap her.

But a big hand grabbed her wrist tightly.

A cold, low voice whispered in her ear. "Trust me, you don't want to know what happens if you hit her!"

Marissa was so scared she turned around and saw Ryan's gentle face, but his expression was cold and deadly.

Seeing his face, she immediately had girlish fantasies.

Who was this handsome guy, and why was he protecting Joyce?

Marissa quickly pulled her hand back and tried to look pitiful, "I wasn't gonna hit her, just scare her a bit, don't get the wrong idea."

Then she tried to grab Ryan's wrist, but he shook her off.

Ryan looked at her with disgust, "Don't touch me, you're filthy, Chloe."

Hearing her alias, Marissa's face changed instantly.

She asked in shock, "Who are you? How do you know my other identity?"

Ryan smirked, "The top prostitute at the club in Snowpeakia country, a toy for countless men, and you think you're worthy of being Benjamin's daughter! You two better leave now, or who knows what I'll do."

Marissa had planned to use her charms on this stunning man, but she didn't expect him to expose her past.

She stomped her foot angrily, glared at Joyce, and stormed off.

Tristan was even more of a coward. After seeing the paternity test report, he was scared out of his mind.

He'd hoped to share some of Benjamin's wealth with Marissa, but this result threw him off.

Terrified that Joyce would deal with him, he ran away.

Joyce looked at Ryan, incredulous, "How did you know about Marissa's background?"

Ryan's face softened, "I heard you mention it yesterday, so I checked it out for you. Turns out this woman was involved in prostitution at a bar. Even if she were really Mr. Blackwood's daughter, I wouldn't let her claim that title and ruin his reputation."

Joyce was touched by his words.

She softly said, "Thank you," and then turned and went into the ward.

She felt something was off about this whole thing, so she picked up the phone and called Benjamin's secretary. This guy had been with Benjamin for over twenty years and must know something about what happened back then. The call was quickly answered, and a man's low voice came from the other end.

"Joyce, what's up?"

"Mr. Sterling, I want to know why my dad married Angie back then."

Graham Sterling thought for a few seconds and then said, "Your dad once had a lover, but after getting drunk one time, he slept with Angie and she got pregnant. Angie then used the kid to force him into marrying her. So his first love got mad and left, and they never spoke again."

Hearing this, Joyce finally pieced the whole story together.

Back then, Benjamin was totally set up by Angie.

She was pregnant with another guy's kid but made Benjamin think it was his.

So, he broke up with his first love.

After they got married, Angie didn't appreciate it and kept flirting with other men.

This nasty woman ruined Benjamin's happiness for life.

Thinking about it, Joyce couldn't help but feel it was so unfair for Benjamin.

Just then, Joyce got a call from Maxwell.

An urgent voice came through, "Joyce, Mr. Blackwood can be saved. I found that miracle-working doctor."

Joyce's eyes widened in disbelief, "Really?"

"Remember when Sebastian and I went to Africa to find a doctor for Mr. Blackwood? We ran into a war, and Sebastian got hurt. A female doctor from Doctors Without Borders saved him."

Joyce's phone was loud enough that Ryan, standing behind her, heard everything.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you talking about Camilla?"

Maxwell replied, "Yes, that's her. Her mom, Susan, is the miracle-working doctor we've been looking for. It's incredible."

Maxwell's voice was filled with joy.

Joyce was so excited her eyes welled up, "When can she come over?"

"She's in a really remote village. We need to go get her. I'll send you the address. If you're free, we can go there together."

"Okay, I'm free. Maxwell, thank you so much."

"Don't mention it. By the way, why did Sebastian come to see you again? Isn't he worried about being seen by Kevin's people?"

Joyce looked at Ryan, puzzled, "Sebastian? No, he hasn't been here."

Maxwell sensed something was off, "Then who was the person talking just now?"

"Ryan."

Hearing this name, Maxwell squinted slightly.

He swallowed the words he wanted to say.

How did Ryan know Camilla's name?

Only he and Sebastian should know that name.

Thinking about it, Maxwell's eyes darkened, "I'll come to the hospital to meet you later."

Joyce, usually so observant, didn't notice anything strange.

All her thoughts were on finding the miracle-working doctor.

If they found her, the chances of Benjamin waking up would be much higher.

She excitedly held Benjamin's hand and said, "Dad, I found the miracle-working doctor. I'm going with Maxwell to get her. The butler will take care of you for the next few days, okay?" Just as Joyce was about to get up and pack, she found that Benjamin's large hand was tightly holding hers and wouldn't let go.

Seeing this, Joyce was puzzled, "Dad, I'll be back in a few days. Once we get the miracle-working doctor, you'll be saved." But no matter how she explained, Benjamin's hand wouldn't let go.

Joyce was at a loss.

Ryan walked over, patted Benjamin's hand, and said, "Mr. Blackwood, are you worried about Joyce going alone?"

Benjamin's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Ryan smiled, "Don't worry, I'll go with her. I won't let her go on this adventure alone."

Hearing this, Benjamin finally let go of Joyce's hand.

Joyce was puzzled, "Why does my dad trust you so much?"

Ryan said, "That's because Mr. Blackwood knows Maxwell is unreliable. He doesn't feel safe with you going with Maxwell alone, so he wants me to go with you."

Joyce refused, "Maxwell has grown a lot in the past two years. He's not as impulsive as he used to be. There's really no need to trouble you."

"Joyce," this was the first time Ryan called her by her name, making Joyce pause.

Why did his tone sound so much like Sebastian's?

Ryan looked directly at her, "I promised Mr. Blackwood, so I have to do it. Besides, if something happens to you, what will I do? You aren't even my girlfriend yet." Hearing this, Joyce had no choice but to agree.

When Maxwell arrived, he immediately saw Ryan sitting by the hospital bed, while Joyce had gone to the doctor's office.

He twisted Ryan's arm behind his back, and his voice was cold and sinister. "Who exactly are you?"
