A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 10 The Pillar of Our Family
Darren was crippled, but the Winchesters relied on his reputation to thrive.To someone with ulterior motives, Kenneth sending flowers to Darren's wife might not be as simple as a gesture of goodwill. After all, scandalous news was prevalent in high society. Should anyone wish to create a stir in Hopeldon's financial world, this was the way to go. Beauty could often be dangerous, too.Kenneth's voice was cold when he spoke again. "I'm used to my carefree life. Serious financial newspapers hardly suit my temperament. "Have dinner with me tomorrow night, Mrs. Winchester. Now that would make for some juicy tabloid headlines." He would hardly lose anything from being at the center of some rumors with a beautiful lady.Hannah was about to speak when a faint, refreshing scent of pine brushed against her. Darren was seated in his wheelchair. His voice was icy as he suggested, "If dinner is what you want, Mr. Sorsby, how about the two of us dine together instead?"His words rende

The doctor adjusted his glasses again under her unwavering stare. "Excuse me, Madam?""Oh, it's nothing." Hannah smiled. "Thanks for everything you do, doctor. Mr. Winchester's legs are still bothering him. Does that mean he still can recover completely from his condition?"The doctor's hands trembled once more. He frowned. Then, after a brief pause, he said, "My skills are limited, Mrs. Winchester. I'm afraid I can't cure Mr. Winchester. If you don't believe in my expertise, you're welcome to consult a renowned specialist."His words seemed to carry his dissatisfaction toward her questioning of his abilities."Madam." Bryan nudged her softly. "We've consulted numerous experts when Mr. Winchester first had his accident. "Dr. Greydon received his medical degree from abroad. His achievements in the field of surgery are also exceptional." "I hope you're not offended by my casual remark, Dr. Greydon," Hannah said. Then, she exchanged a thoughtful glance with Darren. "If there

Hannah couldn't help but raise a brow. "What's wrong with my husband's legs, doctor?""Are you two waiting for his legs to deteriorate beyond repair before thinking of seeing a doctor?"The doctor was quite young. He had on a white coat and wore golden-rimmed glasses. While he appeared professional, his words were direct and blunt. "Judging from your clothes, you can't be short of money. So, what's the deal? Is having physical defects a trend now among the wealthy?"Darren clenched his fists. His voice was tight when he spoke. "Do you mean … does this mean my legs can still be saved?"He looked calm, but there was no hiding the tension and the faint hope in his eyes.Hannah laid a hand on his arm. She gave him a reassuring glance."It is possible." The doctor nodded. His confidence was unquestionable. He later explained as he wrote a prescription for Darren. "With a minor surgery, proper medication, and rehabilitation, you could be up and walking in no time."Darren's eyes g
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 13 Car Racing
It was Anthony, the second child of the family. Hannah glanced out the window. The moon hid behind dark clouds, and thunder rumbled with flashes of lightning from time to time. The strong wind howled. The rain was coming.The mountain road was also called "Death Route." It got that name because of its uneven surface and winding paths. There were steep cliffs on one side and a chasm on the other. There were many twists and turns. Many accidents happened on that road.Anyone who drove on Death Route during the day had to be careful. As such, racing on it in such a heavy rainstorm was almost unheard of.It was reckless.Hannah's expression darkened. She pulled her jacket tighter around her slender figure. "There's no need to wake Mr. Winchester up. I can handle it," she said coldly.Bryan hesitated for a moment. Then he said, "Madam, please let me drive." Rain began to pour at that moment. The wind howled, and the storm raged on. Occasional flashes of lightning appeared i
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 14 You're Mad
"Are you mad?" Anthony yelled. He finally showed a hint of fear. After all, he was facing death and in a clear line of danger. He reached out to grab the steering wheel. "Die if you want to, but don't take me out with you!""Sit still!" Hannah warned. She pushed his hand away and performed a difficult drift to successfully make the turn.However, Anthony did not have the time to admire her skillful maneuver. A sense of relief filled him instead. He had narrowly escaped death.Hannah did not look at him. She maintained her composure and kept up the pace. She skillfully made every dangerous turn ahead.Anthony's nerves were on edge the entire time. There was no guarantee Hannah would succeed every time she made a difficult turn to avoid danger.When they reached the finish line, the rain had stopped. The moon shone brightly behind the dark clouds. Upon seeing them approach, cheers erupted at the finish line.Anthony opened the car door and stepped out. His face was pale. His
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 15 Parent-Teacher Conference
Anthony remained silent. But his usually indifferent eyes suddenly seemed to light up with something."You're quite stubborn," Hannah said. She stopped after hitting him three times.Anthony refused to admit his mistake, but Hannah didn't seem angry. "Since you don't want to admit you were wrong, I'll give you time to think it over. Until you figure it out …" Hannah said calmly and trailed off.She shot him a faint smile and continued warmly, "Well, if you have any other activities in mind, you can come find me. I promise that we'll have a good time together."Anthony did not say a word. His hands curled into fists. He felt a slight burning pain as he tightened his grip. He was not used to such feelings.Hannah turned to the housekeeper, who had been frightened into silence. "Mrs. Tate, please make some chicken soup for Anthony. Don't forget to apply some ointment on his palm," Hannah instructed."Yes, Madam. Would you like a bowl for yourself as well? Why don't you go wash

"Mr. Welfare, Thomas has already done as you've asked. Please be patient for a little longer," Jerry Boyce said. He shuddered all over and did not seem to care about the pain in his forehead."You and your father should stay on your toes. You realize that once Darren gets back on his feet, I won't be the first one to die, right?" Robert said coldly. He calmly wiped his glasses and grinned. Jerry was covered in cold sweat. The threat sent chills down his spine. "Don't worry. Everything will go as you wish."After their encounter, Jerry learned just how ruthless the young man before him could be."Good. Now get lost."Robert smiled faintly and took a closer look at the cover of the gossip magazine. He tossed it into the waste-paper basket, effectively hiding the headline...."Hey Jane, take a look at this." Someone tugged at Jane Wilfare's sleeve. She was picking out a handbag at that moment. A strange expression flashed across her face. "Isn't that Darren and his wife?"
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 17 Happy
Life was unfair.How can someone as shallow and ignorant as Hannah have such extraordinary beauty? It was simply a waste."Oh? Then how should I maintain my beauty?" Hannah asked with an interested smile. She saw how Jane's face contorted with envy. "Well, it's only natural that you should only show yourself in front of others with makeup on. You have to look energetic and radiant. This color is one that men go crazy for in the elite circles this year," Jane said. Her excitement was evident. She opened the lipstick in her hand eagerly."This lipstick is like a magical tool. It can complement a person's complexion very well. Hannah, this shade will look perfect on you. "Try it on. You'll definitely attract the attention of everyone in the room. Come on," Jane urged as she handed the lipstick to Hannah.It was a fluorescent pink lipstick, also known as "Dying Barbie Pink." The color was one that even those who aimed for a perfect Barbie look often struggled to pull off.For pe

A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 827 The Bad Guy
Darren didn't let her off easily in the end. Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women. This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica. Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go. Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her. Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 826 The Bidding
Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?" Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room. He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people. Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment. She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?" She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation. The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over. Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down." However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 824 Lost In Thought
At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face. "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out. A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more." The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more." After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought. Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?" "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile. He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!" "Dad, what ha
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 823 Look at Me
She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade. She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost. No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 822 Unwrapping the Gift
She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened. Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?" Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric. The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders. She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way. Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes. Below her eye
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 821 So Ungrateful
Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth. As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone? Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him. Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different. The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him. Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger. The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems. But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 820 Do You Miss Me?
He was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do." He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results." He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people

Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
