Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Jovan seemed to have found some preposterous joke, so he laughed exaggeratedly.
“I can’t give them a blessing, but I feel very tired after so many things. I almost lose the strength to fight…”
Staring at the emergency signboards that were blinking at the same time, she said with complicated feelings, “I always thought that b*tchy Flossie never loved Halston in the slightest. She just loved his identity and limelight. But I wavered today. She was willing to die for him. It was such a tall cliff and a deep river, but she jumped into the river without any hesitation. Why was she so brave? Well, I couldn’t do that.”
“So, what are you trying to tell me? Do you really want to retreat?”
“I don’t know. My mind is a mess now. All I wish is for Halston to be out of danger.”
“If I tell you I can help you gain Halston’s heart completely this time, are you willing to try again?”
Jovan’s gaze turned deep and mysterious.
“So, what if I gain him? His heart doesn’t belong to me. It’s meaningless. What’s more, unlike you, I’m not as vulgar to force myself on the person I love…”
While talking, she laughed at herself. “You’re right. We’re a couple, but we didn’t even hold hands, let alone kiss each other. We’re not even a couple.”
“So, I told you. If you want to be a winner in your love affair, your love alone isn’t enough. You have to manipulate some means. If you don’t have any up your sleeves, I’ll come up with some for you… Well, now is the best timing.”
“What’s the best timing?”
“The best timing for you to make his body and heart solely yours.”
When he came to that point, he leaned to her ear and whispered something.
Seraphina clenched her fists tighter and swallowed. “Will… it work?”
“Don’t my methods always work?”
He smiled lightly and confidently.
Seraphina wavered and was moved, but she was still doubtful. “Why would you help me?”
“You’re wrong. I’m a desperate egoist. I help no one else except myself. In other words,… I’m not helping you, but I’m actually helping myself.”
After one night, Flossie gradually regained her strength and woke up.
“You’re awake. How are you feeling now?”
Jovan sat beside the bed with his head low, peeling an apple.
He sliced the skin into a thin and long stripe. It did not even break until the end.
It was just like what he always did, meticulous to the last detail, leaving no space to turn around.
A painful headache pounded Flossie’s head as she looked at the white ward. For a moment, she was stunned. “Where am I? Am I still alive?”
“Of course you are. You’re so tough. How could such a puny river defeat you? What’s more, you have a great will. You hurt your leg from the fall, but you held on until downstream. I admire that very much!”
Jovan appeared like a warm younger man as he smiled tenderly and handed Flossie the apple he had just peeled.
Of course, she was not in the mood for apples. She frowned and asked, “Where’s Halston? How is he?”
“Don’t worry. He has stronger willpower than yours. He lost so much blood, yet he survived the experience. I’ve got to hand it to him too.”
Jovan sounded indifferent, but it was a fatal blow for Flossie.
“What? He… Did he lose too much blood… Ah!”
She tried to stand up because of the deep shock. But she felt so much pain that her face scrunched up as the wound on her leg tore open.
“Why are you so anxious? You’re in pain now, aren’t you?”
Jovan quickly supported her wavering body and gently helped her to lie in bed. “The doctor stated that you need to rest. You can’t get out of bed before half a month, or ten days at least.”
“I’m fine. The key is Halston. How is he now? Why did he lose too much blood? Is he seriously injured? He…”
“Calm down. He’s out of danger now, and Seraphina is taking close care of him. He’s pretty good.”
“Well… that’s good.”
Flossie heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, her eyes turned gloomy.
Although she had long prepared herself to give Halston up to Seraphina… When the time came, she still could not help feeling excruciating pain.
“His body is fine, but it looks like there’s some problem with his mind. It’s pretty troublesome.”
Jovan cut a large piece of apple and ate it casually. He then stated absent-mindedly.
“What’s wrong with his mind?”
“Hmm, he seems to have forgotten about a lot of things, and he relies so much on Seraphina until it’s pathologically sick. He doesn’t let anyone get close to him except Seraphina. I could only stand at the door when I visited him. How pitiful!”
“Why… why did that happen?”
“No one knows. He might have hit his head hard, or it might be the severe blood loss that deprived his brain of oxygen. Suffice it to say; he’s lost some parts of his memories. In short, the doctor said a lot, but I didn’t really understand much.”
When Jovan reached that point, he smiled and looked at Flossie. “But you don’t care, do you? After all, you broke up with him. He’s long betrayed you. You were too silly to risk your life for that kind of person.”
“That’s not true. He didn’t betray me. He did everything to protect me. I was too stupid to keep hurting him in so many ways.”
Flossie’s eyes turned watery as she sobbed and confessed.
“So, do you want to get back together with him?”
Complicated feelings washed over his eyes as he asked.
“No, I don’t.”
Flossie shook her head and sounded firm.
She made up her mind never to get back together with him again after learning about his deep and passionate love for her.
She once vowed to God that she would leave him as long as he was safe and sound.
It was a vow. After she made it, it would bring greater danger if she broke it.
The great disaster that happened this time around was like a warning given by God to her. If she stubbornly wanted to break that vow out of her selfishness, Halston might not be so lucky this time. He might even get killed.
“Well, what do you plan to do next?”
Jovan heaved a sigh of relief and continued sounding her out.
“I don’t know either. I’ll take one step at a time.”
