True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Ryan didn't put up a fight, just let out a low chuckle.

"Do you know where the last person who treated me like this ended up?"

Maxwell wasn't fazed by the threat. He stared coldly at Ryan and asked again, "How do you know about Camilla? What's your real reason for getting close to Joyce?" Ryan chuckled again, "I found out her mom's the miracle-working doctor. I came to tell Joyce, but you beat me to it."

"Then tell me the name of that village and where it is."

"It's in Sakura Village, Dawnville Town, 248 miles from here in R City. The miracle-working doctor is Susan Grayson. Am I right?"

Maxwell eyed Ryan suspiciously.

It seemed too coincidental.

They'd been searching for two years with no luck, and this guy Ryan found her in less than a week.

If it was true, Ryan must have some serious connections.

Maxwell slowly let go of him but stayed on guard.

"You better not have any plans for Joyce, or you'll regret it."

Ryan chuckled softly, "Really? With your pathetic skills, you want to fight me? Be careful, you might end up dead."

He wore a gentle smile, but his words were harsh and cold.

As the two men stared each other down, Paxon suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

Paxon's bright eyes scanned the room, and not seeing Joyce, he looked disappointedly at Maxwell.

"Uncle Maxwell, have you seen Aunt Joyce?"

Maxwell bent down and pinched his chubby cheek. His previously cold voice softened a bit, "She went to the doctor's office. She'll be back soon. Who did you come with?"

"With my mom. She and Todd went for a check-up, and I came over by myself."

After saying that, he trotted over to Benjamin's bedside.

Paxon was about to climb onto the bed using a chair when he saw Ryan's face.

Paxon widened his eyes in curiosity, staring at him without blinking, "Are you the handsome guy?"

Paxon thought back to the first time he met Ryan.

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but smile and asked gently, "Thanks for the compliment."

Paxon circled around him several times, his bright eyes scanning him up and down.

Paxon muttered in confusion, "How come you look different? Do you know magic? Can you change your appearance?" Sebastian knew that Paxon had figured out who he was.

Paxon's incredible intelligence was just like his.

He smiled and patted his head, "If you say I have magic, then I do. But don't tell your Aunt Joyce. It's our secret, okay?" Paxon nodded knowingly, "I understand. You must think my Aunt Joyce is pretty and want to steal her away, right?" Sebastian couldn't help but hug Paxon in his arms at his adorable words.

Sebastian kissed him on the cheek and said with a smile, "You're really smart."

Their conversation left Maxwell dumbfounded.

Maxwell asked in a daze, "You two knew each other before?"

Ryan nodded, "We met once. My face is just too handsome for him to forget."

Maxwell mocked, "You're so full of yourself!"

Maxwell glared at Ryan in anger.

When Joyce came in, she saw Paxon sitting on Ryan's lap, and the two of them getting along exceptionally well.

They were chatting and laughing, very happy.

Joyce was a bit puzzled.

But why did he hit it off with Ryan right away?

She walked over to the bedside and called softly, "Paxon."

Seeing her return, Paxon immediately hopped off Ryan's lap, ran to her side, and hugged her leg, "Aunt Joyce, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"

Joyce bent down to pick him up, pressing her forehead against his, "Of course I did. How did you get here by yourself?"

"My mom took Todd for a check-up. I couldn't wait, so I came by myself. But a nurse brought me over, so don't worry, Aunt Joyce."

Hearing this, Joyce finally felt relieved.

She pinched his little nose, "I have to pick up a doctor. You might not see me for a few days. Don't miss me too much."

Paxon nodded sensibly, "Hoping you come back soon. I'm waiting to celebrate my birthday with you."novelbin

Hearing this, Joyce's expression suddenly became a bit pained.

Unknowingly, two years had passed.

Her baby had been gone for two years.

In three days, it would be his birthday, and also the anniversary of his death.

Thinking of this, Joyce couldn't help but tear up.

Seeing her like this, Paxon reached out his little hand to cup her face, "Aunt Joyce, are you thinking about your child?"

Joyce's voice was a bit hoarse, "Yes, he was born on the same day as you."

"Then on my birthday, let's save a piece of cake for him, okay?"

"Okay."

Joyce hugged Paxon tightly, stroking his head.

She had often transferred her longing for her own baby onto Paxon.

Sometimes she dreamed of her baby growing up, and it was Paxon's face she saw.

In the past two years, Joyce channeled her longing for her own child into caring for Paxson. She felt that she would have gone crazy without him.

The three of them packed up briefly and set off.

Sakura Village was a very remote small village with inconvenient transportation. The road was either mountainous or bumpy dirt roads.

The car ride made Joyce vomit several times.

Seeing her pale face, Ryan frowned and asked, "Can you hold on? If not, we can find a place to stay in town."

Joyce shook her head, "No need, I'm fine. I just have a bad feeling, worried something might go wrong."

Maxwell dismissed her concerns, "As long as we don't get into a car accident, nothing will go wrong in this small village. Camilla said the villagers are very simple. Once we get there and ask around, we'll find out her mother. She is the village doctor."

The three of them continued driving and finally reached the entrance of Sakura Village.

But it was already past 1 AM.

It was hard to find anyone to ask for directions.

Joyce got out of the car and looked at the pitch-black village, feeling a sense of unease.

Ryan took off his jacket and draped it over Joyce's shoulders, looking at the small village ahead, "It'll be dawn in a few hours. Let's wait in the car, it's a bit chilly outside." Joyce nodded slightly.

Just as they were about to get back in the car, they saw a figure coming out of the village.

Maxwell immediately said, "Someone's coming out. I'll go ask."

"Maxwell," Joyce called out to him, "Let's not split up. None of us are familiar with this place. If we get lost, we won't find each other and the cell signal is bad." Maxwell smiled, "Joyce, it's fine. When we were trained in remote areas, the conditions were worse than this."

"Even so, let's wait for that person to come over."

The three of them stood by the car, watching the figure slowly approach them.
