True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 65 He Was Scared

Sebastian sat by Joey's bed, holding her small hands and kissing them over and over.

His mind was racing with the doctor's words.

He knew Joey couldn't swim, but he never realized she had a fear of water.

Now it made sense why she never got into the bathtub, no matter how much he tried to coax her.

Her fear of water was that intense.

Sebastian stared at Joey's pale face, his voice rough, "Joey, how many things about you do I not know?"

He didn't know about her past experience, or that she had once deeply loved another man.

He didn't even know if there was any love in her past kindness to him.

Sebastian gently stroked her face and kissed her cold lips.

"Joey, I want to know everything about you. Wake up and tell me, okay?"

He had never wanted to understand someone so completely as he did now.

He even envied the four years Julian spent with her in college, when Joey must have been at her best.

In her coma, Joey felt someone speaking by her ear.

That voice was still as pleasant as it was back then.

During the darkest part of her life, filled with disappointment in the world, it was this voice that pulled her out of hell. Joey's consciousness slowly awakened, and she saw a man in a white shirt and black trousers, with a stern face.

The man sat in a wheelchair, looking at her with unfocused eyes.

He said he couldn't see and asked her to pick up his cane.

He also said he used to be a student at HF University in M country and had won many international awards.

The robot he designed was about to be successfully launched.

He also owned a large conglomerate worth billions of dollars.

But he became crippled and blind.

All of this was about to say farewell to him.

He seemed to be telling someone else's story as he recounted his tragic experiences.

There was no trace of pain on his beautiful face.

Joey was drawn to such a man.

After slowly coming down from the rooftop and walking to his side, she picked up the cane from the ground and placed it in his hand. From then on, this man in a wheelchair, who was also blind, entered her life.

She didn't know his name but only knew his number was 99.

He told her many stories about his experiences abroad and taught her many things she didn't know.

Gradually, her condition stabilized.

She helped him with his leg rehabilitation and took him for walks in the garden.

He often said, "I can't see you, can I hear your voice?"

Joey knew he was encouraging her to speak.

One day, she woke up from a dream, dreaming that the man had disappeared from her world.

She finally cried out, "Nine, don't go."

She was shocked at the time.

She covered her mouth and didn't dare to breathe for a long time.

She had regained her ability to speak and could talk to him normally.

She ran frantically to his room, wanting to say to him right away: "Nine, can I marry you when I grow up?"

She found out that he had gone abroad for eye surgery.

Even if she wanted to find him, she didn't know his name.

This sanatorium was top-secret, and all patient information was confidential.

Patients only had codes, no names.

She only remembered his code, 99.

And he only knew her code, 11.

He didn't even know what she looked like or what her voice sounded like.

Even if they were to meet again in the future, he wouldn't recognize her.

These fragments flashed through Joey's mind like a movie.

She kept searching for the man who captivated her, but he always vanished as soon as he appeared.

She longed to hold him, but she could never reach him.

In her anxiety, Joey grabbed something and held on tightly, not letting go.

She murmured softly, "Don't go, okay?"

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

He stared at Joey's tense and pale face, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

He gently stroked her head, his tone soothing, "Okay, I won't go. Wake up, okay?" As the two held each other tightly, the door of the room was pushed open. Cordelia Winters walked in with Isabella.

She had never seen Sebastian speak so softly to anyone, nor had she seen the love in his eyes.

She immediately interrupted, "Sebastian, has Joey woken up?"

Hearing the commotion, Sebastian slowly let go of Joey, but his hand still held onto hers.

He looked up and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"

"Isabella was afraid you wouldn't believe her, so she asked me to come. I've heard the whole story. Joey was jealous of Isabella and tried to push her into the pond, but Isabella dodged, so Joey accidentally fell in herself. This is her own fault; you don't need to blame yourself. We'll cover the medical expenses and give her some money for recovery. I think that's more than fair."

Sebastian looked at Isabella with a calm expression. "Is that really what happened?"

Isabella nodded, crying, "Sebastian, I really didn't push her. She fell in herself. If I hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been me. You know I have depression, and if I get triggered, my condition will worsen." Cordelia added, "It's a good thing it wasn't Isabella who fell in, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Sebastian's eyes grew darker as he glared at them coldly.

"Get out if you're done talking!"

"Sebastian, are you still mad at me? I promise you, I'll have my mom drop the charges against Joey for intentional harm as compensation for her falling into the water. What do you think?" Before Sebastian could say anything, a weak voice sounded in the room.

"I disagree."

Hearing this voice, Sebastian immediately turned around.

He met Joey's weak and somewhat cold eyes.

He immediately leaned in, his voice softening a bit. "Joey, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Joey looked at Sebastian's face, then at Isabella, and the thought of the surrogacy flashed through her mind again.

She looked at Sebastian coldly. "Do you believe her?"

Sebastian said in a low voice, "I only believe in evidence."

"What if the evidence is erased like last time? Will you believe her or me?"
