Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
When she recalled Halston and Flossie’s relationship, she felt even more stressed.
“It’s been so many years.
Do you want her to harm you even more? She blinded you and nearly killed you.
Both Seraphina and I nurtured you as if you were a baby and helped you get better, but she nearly killed you again!” Francine’s voice was getting louder.
“Do you have any idea what the doctor said? Your neck cartilage is severely injured, which hurts your vocal cords.
If she had used even a bit more force, you wouldn’t be able to speak anymore.
What’s more, your brain was in severe hypoxia when you were rushed to the hospital.
You were in a state of shock, and you would have been dead if you arrived any later…
Do you even realize how wicked Flossie is? Why are you so stubborn?” For the past few years, Francine had suffered greatly and was now exhausted.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with the Ellsworth family, but it seemed like she still couldn’t avoid them.
“I’m just reaping what I sowed.
I wronged her first, and she was being generous by letting me live,” Halston explained hoarsely.
He could not tell Francine the truth.
“You’re out of your mind! Clearly, she’s stolen your heart again.” Francine sighed exasperatedly and said firmly, “Anyway, you can’t cancel your marriage with Seraphina.
It has to be carried out accordingly.
A fortune teller told me that you and Seraphina are a great match, and that our families will prosper if you both marry.
In short…” At the beginning of last year, Flossie left Beach City and Halston had woken up.
After that, Francine went to Ninth Mountain to meet a legendary fortune teller to ask about her son.
Francine had actually asked the fortune teller about the compatibility between Halston and Flossie before she looked into the compatibility between Halston and Seraphina.
She had to admit that she liked Flossie more because she was decisive, capable, responsible, and straightforward.
Unfortunately, Flossie had suffered too much with Halston, and both of them were seriously hurt, which changed Francine’s perception.
In the end, the fortune teller had told her that both Flossie and Halston had strong personalities that no one could suppress.
They were incompatible—if separated, they could live well, but together …
they would end up destroyed.
When Francine recalled the few years Halston and Flossie were together, it seemed to be true.
When they were together, they would eventually end up in danger.
Although she knew she couldn’t put too much stock in such things, Francine had already lost her eldest son, and couldn’t afford to lose her youngest son too.
Hence, she had to become the villain and break them up.
“Don’t blame me; I’m only doing this for you.
You grew up with Seraphina and are childhood sweethearts.
Maybe your married life won’t be sweet and happy, but at least it’ll be peaceful.
Please listen to me and stop making a scene.
Your dad and I aren’t young, so we can’t keep being scared like this.” Francine hugged Halston and sobbed silently.
“If Seraphina didn’t go to the villa in search of you and rush you to the hospital, you would be dead by now.
Your dad and I wouldn’t be able to bear that, and our family would be ruined!” “It’s not a big deal.
After all, we’re all just tiny beings in this vast world,” Halston said vaguely, looking distant and cold.
He had lost his past vigor.
He was somebody who always had the best of everything, who had heaps of power, wealth, and charm, but…
he wasn’t happy.
What was the point of living such a perfect life if he wasn’t happy? “Fine, if that’s the case, let me call your dad over.
We’ll ask the doctor to give us medicine so the three of us can end our lives together!” Francine cried out.
“Mom…” “If you think living is meaningless, there’s no point in us staying alive either.
We’ll take our lives with you!” Francine said hysterically, causing a scene.
“Mom, please don’t.” Halston sighed tiredly, closing his eyes.
He was helpless when she became like this.
Seraphina quickly held Francine’s arm.
“Madam Francine, Halston has just woken up.
I’m sure he’s still feeling dazed and weak.
Let him rest first; I believe he’s just saying this out of spite because he can’t bear to cancel his marriage with me.” Francine looked at her with watery eyes.
“I hope so.”
Francine glared at Halston.
“I’ll beat him up if he cancels the marriage!” Meanwhile, Quinton was recovering in another hospital.
It was now time to remove the gauze on his face.
Flossie waited in the ward with her two children and Margaret.
Adie and Abby were extremely excited, and couldn’t stop asking questions.
“Did they remove the scar on Uncle’s face?” “Did he become a handsome man?” “Is he as handsome as Daddy?” “Will we get a beautiful aunt soon?” Flossie’s head was starting to ache, and she shushed them exasperatedly.
Stop it, you two.
He needs rest, so don’t disturb him.” Quinton leaned back against the bed and smiled at the kids tenderly.
