Chapter 127 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

The people around them were also full of praise for Flossie. Nobody expected a girl who seemed so vulnerable to actually know how to defuse a bomb!

Flossie lifted her chin in Halston’s direction, a cheeky smile on her face. “What do you think? I rescued you again!”

Halston didn’t speak. He just turned around and left, a somewhat weary look on his face.

“Hey, you’re not very grateful, are you? How can you treat your savior like this?” Flossie didn’t know what she’d done to offend the man, and was about to go after him and find out.

Suddenly, a woman charged through the crowd and hugged Jane. “Jane! Oh, my dear Jane!”

The woman was none other than Jane’s biological mother, Sandra. “Jane, are you alright? I think your neck is bleeding! Does it hurt? I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”

Sandra picked Jane up and looked her over anxiously, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been reading a dossier when she saw the live broadcast on TV, and was shocked when she realized that her precious daughter had been kidnapped. She immediately dropped whatever she was doing and drove as fast as she could to get to the mall.

Fortunately, her daughter had only suffered some minor external injuries, thanks to Flossie’s selfless act.

Initially, Sandra couldn’t even be bothered to look Flossie in the eye, but now, she felt nothing but gratitude towards her. “Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened. You saved Jane’s life, and that makes you my savior too. I owe you my life!”

Flossie waved her off awkwardly. “It’s nothing, I would’ve done the same for anyone. Thank you for the compliment, though!”

Sandra chuckled. “Don’t think too much of it. I still don’t like you, but if you want anything in return, I won’t say no.”

“Fine Flossie couldn’t help but sigh. Sandra was really a tough nut to crack!

However, Jane suddenly pushed Sandra away and ran behind Flossie. “Who are you? I don’t know you! My parents told me not to let strangers touch me. You’re a bad person… I’ll ask the police to arrest you!”

“Jane, you.” Sandra’s face crumpled. It was hurtful that her own daughter thought she was a bad person and wanted the police to arrest her.

Flossie held Jane’s hand and said gently, “Jane, this woman isn’t a bad person. Look, she’s so worried about you that she’s almost in tears.

She clearly loves you!”

Only then did Jane relax. She curiously studied the tall, imposing woman before her. “Who is she? I don’t recognize her, but she feels familiar. I think I’ve seen her in my dreams…”

“Jane, she’s actually your…” Flossie wanted to tell Jane the truth.

Jane knew that Professor Wood and his wife weren’t her biological parents, and she’d always wanted to know who her real parents were. In fact, her wish for her sixth birthday was to meet her biological parents.

If Flossie told Jane that Sandra was her biological mother, she’d at least have half of her birthday wish granted.

However, Sandra cut Flossie off. She looked coldly at Jane and said softly. “You’re right for hating me. I’m not a good person, so you’d better stay away from me. Otherwise, I can’t promise I won’t hurt you.”

She then turned to face Flossie. “Take her to the hospital, and don’t tell anyone what happened here. I won’t forget what you did today. I always return the favor!”

With a final glance at Jane, Sandra strode away coolly.

Flossie watched her leave. The woman probably had many secrets she didn’t want other people to find out…

Jane tugged at Flossie’s hand. “Flossie, you haven’t told me who that woman was. I want to be her friend. Why did she suddenly leave?”

“Umm…” In the end, Flossie didn’t tell Jane that Sandra was her biological mother. “That woman is very capable and selfless. Jane, don’t forget – whatever happens in the future, you cannot blame her. You have to forgive her, okay?”

Jane wasn’t sure what Flossie meant, but she nodded obediently. “Alright, I understand.”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the mall became peaceful again.

Flossie looked at Jane’s neck worriedly. “Although the wound isn’t deep, it still needs to be looked at. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Flossie looked around for Halston, but he was nowhere to be found. She felt very upset. The man was so selfish and heartless! They had barely survived a dangerous situation, but he had just upped and left!

Flossie brought Jane to the shopping mall’s entrance to hail a taxi. Immediately. Halston’s silver car slowly moved towards them and stopped in front of them.

Flossie’s tense expression relaxed slightly. Looks like he still had a shred of humanity in him! She opened the door to the backseat and got in after Jane.

Halston sat in the driver’s seat, wearing sunglasses. “Jane can stay. You, get out,” he said to Flossie coldly.

“Huh?!” Flossie was in shock. Was the man serious?

“The weather is scorching hot, and I narrowly escaped death earlier. How could you ask me to get out? Are you trying to kill me?” Flossie asked incredulously, her hand still on the car door.

“Kill you?” Halston sneered. “I don’t need to, you seemed eager enough to end your life yourself earlier. Clearly, you don’t care much about your life anyway.”

“You!” Flossie clenched her jaw in anger. What did Halston mean? She’d risked her life to save so many people, and he didn’t even thank her for it. Instead, he was being mean and cruel!

“Halston, are you jealous of me?” Flossie demanded.

“Jealous of you?” Halston frowned a little. He didn’t understand her.

“I single–handedly rescued everyone in the shopping mall, and in contrast, you seemed like a useless idiot. You’re probably jealous I stole the limelight, right?” Flossie said, bristling.

Halston was speechless. He tried to hold it in, but couldn’t stop the amused smile that bloomed on his face. He had to admit that Flossie’s train of thought was rather unusual. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, though. It was better for her to think he was angry because he was jealous rather than because he was worried about her.

Halston found it hard to admit to himself that he was worried about Flossie earlier. He knew, without a doubt, that he would have laid down his life to protect her, and it was a terrifying thought. For once, Halston had lost his control and composure, and it was all because of how deeply Flossie affected him.

That was why he got angry and took it out on Flossie. He felt like he might be sick at the thought of it!

Soon, they arrived at a nearby hospital.

After the doctor tended to Jane’s wound, he turned to face Halston and Flossie. “The wound is just on the surface, so it’s nothing serious. She just has to make sure the wound doesn’t get wet, and she’ll have to apply ointment on it once in the morning and once at night.”

“That’s good to know.” Flossie finally felt relaxed. She held Jane’s hand and told her regretfully, “Jane, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for not looking after you well enough. Can you ever forgive me?”

Jane blinked at her and patted Flossie’s head like Flossie was the child. “Flossie, don’t be silly. You’re so cute and brave. You saved all of us.

so of course I’ll forgive you!”

Jane then turned to look at Halston. “Halston, don’t you think Flossie is extremely cute and brave?”

Halston harrumphed and muttered darkly. “I don’t know about that, but I do know that there’s something very wrong with her brain.”

He still hadn’t fully recovered from the fear he experienced at the shopping mall. If that man had been quicker with his knife, or if she had failed to defuse the bomb, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable!

“Since we’re at the hospital, why don’t we let the doctor check if there’s something wrong with your brain?” Halston then turned to look at the doctor in a serious manner. “Get a checkup done for her.”
