True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 64 Joey Falls into the Water

Joey was livid when he brought up the kid.

She shoved Sebastian away with all her strength.

Taking a few steps back, her smile turned bitter and cold.

"Mr. Winters, you've got the wrong person. The one you love is upstairs. If you want a kid, go find her. Even if I die, I won't have a child for you!"

With that, she stormed off towards the backyard.

How ridiculous.

Were he and Isabella teaming up to bully her?

One wanted her to be a surrogate, the other urged her to have a kid.

Sebastian, you jerk!

Alone by the pond, she silently consoled herself.

Her mind kept replaying all the past events involving Sebastian.

While cursing Sebastian and tossing stones into the water, she heard Isabella's voice behind her.

"Secretary Blackwood, Sebastian asked me to come and comfort you. Are you okay?"

Joey snapped, "Go away!"

Isabella wasn't angry; she just smiled sweetly.

"Secretary Blackwood, I know you can't accept it right now, but have you thought about it? If you have a child for us, you can live a life of luxury for the rest of your life. What's bad about that? "Sebastian and I will treat the child as our own, and your child will become the future heir of the Winters Family.

"Even if you can't marry into the Winters Family, having your child stay in the Winters Family would fulfill your wish, wouldn't it?"

As Isabella spoke, she reached out to pull Joey's clothes.

Just as Joey was about to push her away, she realized that Isabella had somehow moved to the edge of the pond.

If she pushed her now, Isabella would fall into the pond.

Joey's mind worked raced.

She immediately realized that Isabella was trying to use the same old trick. Isabella wanted to provoke her, then made her push Isabella into the pond.

Oh, Isabella, there's no one more despicable than you!

Joey pulled her away and stood by the pond herself.

Seeing someone approaching from a distance, Joey shouted, "Ms. Vale, there's nothing between Mr. Winters and me. Don't push me. I can't swim. Ah!"

With a scream, Joey fell into the water.

Isabella was stunned.

How did the script not go as she planned, and Joey played her part?

Completely dumbfounded, she watched Joey sinking in the water.

At that moment, someone shouted from behind, "Someone fell into the water! Quick, save her!"

Everyone rushed over.

But no one dared to jump in to save her.

The pond was part of the Green family's Old Mansion, built many years ago. The water was deep, and there was a lot of silt at the bottom.

Someone had fallen in before but wasn't rescued.

Joey's body sank deeper and deeper, and her mind replayed scenes of the past.

She was cornered in the classroom, her clothes torn apart.

No matter how she explained, no one listened.

She left school covered in wounds and went to the lake alone.

Thinking about the life of ridicule she would face and how the mother she trusted most in the world did such a thing, she no longer had the courage to live.

She closed her eyes and jumped into the lake.

The lake was deep and cold.

Just like now, her body kept sinking.

It felt like she would be cut off from the world in the next second.

Tears streamed down Joey's face.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly saw a dark figure swimming towards her.

Even though it was dozens of feet away, she saw that it was Sebastian.

Joey's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Even in death, she couldn't help but fantasizing about Sebastian. How much did she love this man?

But he hurt her too deeply.

This love was so heavy she didn't want it anymore.

Joey slowly closed her eyes.

Her consciousness faded as her body kept sinking.

After a while, she felt someone holding her.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Sebastian's handsome face, seemingly filled with worry and fear.

She didn't even have the strength to mock herself.

Her consciousness gradually faded.

Sebastian held her face, giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and gently slapping her face.

But it was all in vain.

He dragged her upwards, but his feet were entangled in the silt.

Both of their bodies were stuck in the silt, making it hard to struggle free.

Sebastian looked at Joey sinking deeper and deeper, pulling her hand with all his might.

He kept silently chanting in his heart: Joey, you are not allowed to die! I'll drag you back no matter what!

At that moment, a rope appeared in front of him.

He grabbed the rope and pulled hard, dragging Joey out of the silt.

He held Joey's body with one hand and grabbed the rope with the other, swimming towards the shore.

Once they were on shore, Sebastian immediately laid Joey flat on the ground.

He kept pressing on her chest.

Shouting, "Joey, wake up! Joey, wake up!"

His calls went unanswered.

He bent down and started mouth-to-mouth resuscitation again.

As he covered her cold lips, tears welled up in Sebastian's eyes.

He was terrified that Joey would never wake up again.

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The doctor is here!"

Sebastian immediately looked up and commanded, "Save her, no matter what it takes."

The doctor immediately knelt down and checked Joey's eyes.

His face turned grim, "Mr. Winters, I'll do my best."

Sebastian grabbed his collar, "If you can't save her, you won't live either!"

"Mr. Winters, let go. If we waste any more time, she might really not make it."

After a few minutes, Joey finally spat out some water.

But she was still unconscious.

Sebastian carried her into the ambulance.

Outside the emergency room in the hospital, Sebastian stood motionless at the door.

His eyes were a turbulent sea of astonishment and dread.

Isabella also ran over, grabbing his arm and crying, "Sebastian, I didn't push Joey. She fell in herself. She was jealous of us being together on a business trip these past few days, so she wanted to use this to gain your sympathy. Sebastian, you have to believe me. I didn't push her."

Daphne Vale also rushed over, pleading for her daughter, "Yes, Sebastian, Isabella is so innocent. How could she harm anyone? Joey is the one scheming. She wants you to feel sorry for her and come back to her. Don't be fooled!" Sebastian's eyes were cold as he looked at Isabella and her mother.

"She wouldn't even stay by my side when I asked her to. She doesn't need to use schemes to keep me."

"Sebastian, are you doubting me?"

"Of course."

Isabella's eyes filled with tears, just as she was about to explain, the emergency room door opened. Sebastian immediately rushed over and asked, "Doctor, how is she?"

The doctor frowned at him, "Did you know she has thalassophobia?"

Sebastian shook his head, his voice hoarse, "I didn't know. What is thalassophobia? Is it serious?"

The doctor sighed, "People with this condition have had traumatic experiences in the water before. Seeing water triggers their condition, let alone falling into it. Physically, she's fine now, but the psychological trauma is severe. She'll need her family's support for a slow recovery."
