Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 63 Is he trying to protect Amy?
"I know your answer now, Dr. Leo. Don’t worry, I’ll help you in front of Ella," said Jenna.Leo smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I don’t care about these things that much. As long as I can be with her, I feel satisfied, no matter what my identity is."Jenna couldn’t help but be amazed. Is there really such a perfect man in the world? She didn’t believe it before meeting Leo, but now she was starting to believe it."It’s getting late, Miss Jenna. I won’t accompany you into the community. After all, you’re a celebrity. If someone takes a picture of us, it might cause trouble for you," said Leo as he got out of the car and opened the door for her.Unexpectedly, Jenna had already pushed the door open from the inside half a second earlier. He didn’t have time to dodge, and the door hit his leg.Leo sucked in a breath, his face twisting for a moment before quickly recovering with a smile.But Jenna noticed it and anxiously apologized, "Dr. Leo, are you okay? Did I hit you? Does it hur

“I don’t carry the burden of an idol. I didn’t go begging for likes in the fan group, did I?” Jenna shot back with confidence, her tone dripping with nonchalance.Ella rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. “Well, I can’t argue with that,” she muttered, opening her Instagram to like her post anyway. Anything to stop her from calling her out again.As she scrolled to the next post, her eyes snagged on something unexpected: Amy’s latest update. The caption read, "Wrapping up another episode. Hard work always pays off!" A picture of her beaming with the crew accompanied it.Jenna asked. “What are you gawking at?”“Nothing,” Ella lied, though her face betrayed her. He scrolled deeper into Amy’s feed, unable to resist snooping.Amy was quite the frequent poster, her feed filled with shots of herself working, glamorous selfies, and career pep talks. Yet, as she browsed, a frown tugged at her lips. Something didn’t add up. Amy had been stuck in recording sessions past midnight for days now

Ella's heart warmed at her father’s gentle tone as he smiled at her, his concern evident. “Take care of yourself, Ella. And don’t keep Mr. Montgomery waiting.”“Thanks, Dad.” She nodded before pushing open the door to the hospital room.The moment she stepped in, Ella was greeted by the sight of Lucas Montgomery reclining on the hospital bed, leisurely peeling an orange. It was like he didn’t have a care in the world. His sharp, piercing eyes locked on her, and he smirked.“What can I do for you, Mr. Montgomery?” she asked, her tone businesslike.Lucas’s smirk widened. “Since your leg injury is better now, shouldn’t you be returning to work?”Ella raised an eyebrow. “Actually, I was about to inform you. I’ll be back at Apex Corp tomorrow.”His chuckle was rich and infuriating. “Lila, I think you misunderstood something. You’re not just any employee. You’re my personal secretary. Your job is to follow my arrangements, and your boss is still in the hospital. Where do you think you’re go

Ella glanced at Lucas and said, "If Mr. Montgomery is willing to reward me, I won’t object."Lucas replied, "Oh, I’m not willing."Ella knew he would say that, so she took the laptop directly to him without even looking at him.Lucas had fallen behind on work due to his injury and Zane’s absence at Apex Corp over the past few days. As soon as he opened the laptop, he became busy and didn’t stop until a sudden ringtone interrupted him. Ella instinctively took out her phone from her pocket but found the screen black. She then remembered she had set her phone to vibrate long ago. This ringtone could only belong to Lucas.Looking up, Lucas had indeed taken out his phone, but instead of answering it immediately, he frowned and stared at the screen, apparently hesitating.Ella thought he didn’t want her to hear the call, so she stood up and said, "Mr. Montgomery, you go ahead, I’ll go—"Before she could finish her sentence, her arm suddenly tightened as Lucas pulled her back to her seat

Despite the endless buzz of gossip at Fairfield Hospital, one thing remained sacred: Dr. Leo, the stoic and brilliant head of the Cardiac Surgery Department, was untouchable. No one dared to say a bad word about him. Sure, the nurses whispered about his dazzling smile and his genius hands, but the juiciest bit? Apparently, Dr. Leo was still holding a candle for his ex-wife.Dan, had overheard it all. The story went like this: Leo had once been married—or almost married. There had been a beautiful wedding abroad, but the paperwork? Never filed back home. Ever since, Dr. Leo had stayed single, supposedly waiting for this mystery woman to come back. Romantic, sure. But Dan couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of woman could make this man—calm, confident, and devastatingly handsome—hold on for so long?“Dr. Leo.”The clear, melodic voice jolted Dan out of his thoughts. He turned just in time to see a stunning woman approach Dr. Leo. She looked familiar, though Dan couldn’t quite plac

Ella was still wide awake, scrolling through her phone absentmindedly when Leo called her. She checked the time and immediately felt it was late. She was about to decline when Leo’s calm but serious voice came through, “I just received some information about Luke from a friend.”The moment Ella heard that name, she bolted upright in bed. “Where are you, Leo? I’ll come find you right away.”After hanging up, Leo leaned back in his chair at the cozy coffee shop, nodding at the barista. “Another cup of coconut latte, half sugar. Oh, and please pack this lady’s order to-go.”“Sure, sir, one moment.” The barista headed off while Leo gazed out the window. The streets of Fairfield gleamed under the city lights, alive with the hum of nightlife. Yet, even in its vibrance, autumn's chill seeped in, rustling the golden-brown leaves on the pavement.Fifteen minutes later, Ella rushed into the coffee shop, her disheveled appearance proof of how quickly she left home. Wrapped in a coat thrown o
Last Updated : 2024-11-30Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 69 I would only bully one person
Ella didn’t sleep a wink that night. Every time she closed her eyes, the haunting memories from six years ago came flooding back, vivid and unrelenting. By morning, she dragged herself out of bed, dark circles under her eyes betraying her sleepless night.As she stumbled into the kitchen, her little chatterbox, Kaia, was already bouncing around like an energizer bunny. The moment Kaia saw her, she stopped mid-bite of her toast and tilted her head. "Mommy, did you stay up late working again?"Ella gave her best “I’m totally fine” smile, though she felt far from it. “No, sweetie. Mommy just had a little trouble sleeping.”Kaia, ever the tiny detective, narrowed her eyes. "Insomnia? Is it because of Uncle Lucas again?"Before Ella could respond, her son Kai, with his all-knowing look, chimed in. "Mommy, is Uncle Lucas giving you insomnia?"Kaia gasped dramatically, her big brown eyes widening. "Huh?! Did that bad Uncle Lucas bully you again? I knew he’s a big meanie!"Ella sighed, rubb

Ella appeared lost in thought. “Really? Who could have bought him?”“As far as I know, it’s likely the Lopez family.”“The Lopez family?” Ella deliberately asked, “Which Lopez family? I’ve never had any feud with anyone surnamed Lopez.” At this point, Ella suddenly raised her head, pretending to be shocked. “Mr. Montgomery, you’re not talking about Amy Lopez…”“This matter should have nothing to do with her.”Ella’s heart skipped a beat. Lucas was so anxious to clear Amy’s name before she even mentioned who it was. Was he trying to protect Amy after all?If so, why did he pretend to be indifferent or even disgusted with Amy in front of her before?Lucas had no idea what Ella was thinking and continued, “If it was her doing, she shouldn’t be so calm knowing that I was injured.”Lucas had been hiding his injury from everyone, even the company, saying that he was on a business trip. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid trouble, and on the other hand, he wanted to test Amy’s attitude.Fr

However, Ella suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Dante, the lawyer, did you hire him?"As expected, Dante was stunned before replying, "How did you know?"Although everyone knew that the mastermind behind the Montgomery family's fire six years ago was not only Leo, but also possibly involved the Lopez family, it was also known that it was difficult to bring down the Lopez family with their current momentum.Therefore, both Ella and Lucas did not act rashly.Yesterday, Leo's lawyer suddenly threw out evidence in court implicating the Lopez family, and Ella felt that the lawyer was suspicious, but she couldn't figure out who arranged it.Until just now, when she heard Dante's words, she suddenly understood that it could only be Dante.Ella suddenly felt warm in her heart.She looked at Dante and bowed deeply. "Thank you."DANTE was confused. "Thank me for what?" After a while, she suddenly reacted, "Wait, you don't think I hired a lawyer to save him, do you? You're wrong. I
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 154 We could still be friends
With this thought, Ella suddenly realized that Kaia not only had a poker face like Lucas, but also had some resemblance to Lucas in his facial features."This is...""My son," Lucas lowered his head and said to Kai, "Kai, call Uncle Dante."Kai obediently called out, "Hello, Uncle Dante."Uncle Dante said he was not good at all.He stared at Kai, his face full of disbelief. "This, this child is yours and Lucas'...""Dante I brought the child over for an exam, and time is tight, so I won't chat with you anymore. You can do as you please."Ella didn't want to discuss the issue of her child's identity with this half-stranger so early in the morning, so she smiled at Dante, then took Kai and walked away.Dante had finally run into her, how could he just let her go like this?But he also realized that Ella didn't want to discuss this topic, so after coming back to his senses, he quickly caught up and steered the conversation towards Kai. "Your son is so young and already taking exams? What
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 153 Could it be like you secretly like me?
Lucas asked again, "Is there anyone else at home while Amy is out?""There’s a nanny.""Does the nanny take good care of you?"Theo didn’t answer.Lucas frowned at his hesitant expression.If the nanny treated Theo well, he wouldn’t hesitate like this. But if she didn’t, with Theo’s tendency to complain and cause trouble, how could he possibly cover up for her?Could it be that this little guy, at such a young age, had already learned to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak?Thinking of this, Lucas’s expression turned cold."Stand up straight!"Theo trembled and tried to straighten his body like a small pine tree."I’m asking you, is the nanny good to you or not? If you lie, I won’t take care of you anymore."Theo panicked at these words.If Dad didn’t want him and Amy was gone, what would he do in the future?"Not good! The nanny hits me and says I’m a bastard, not Dad’s child! She won’t let me complain to Amy, or else she’ll sell me to a remote mountain and let Amy and Dad nev
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 152 You little fox
"What's the matter with me?"This mischievous child wouldn’t be able to harm her even if he wanted to.Ella paused and said, "Do you want to talk to him first? Otherwise, I'm standing here at the hospital entrance with people coming and going. It’s not good to block his mouth, but if I don’t block his mouth, I’m afraid he’ll say something harmful to you, Mr. Montgomery."As soon as Lucas heard her call him Mr. Montgomery, he knew she was in a bad mood again and immediately said, "Then give the phone to Theo."Ella handed the phone to Theo’s ear and took the tissue box out of his mouth."You little fox.""Theo, say one more word to her and see what happens."Theo’s fear of Lucas was almost innate, so even though Amy had been brainwashing him these days, saying that his father had been lured away by Lila, the fox spirit, and didn’t want them anymore, he still harbored resentment towards Lucas.But now, when he heard Lucas’s voice, he reflexively closed his mouth and even trembled slight

Just then, Ella heard a commotion coming from the direction of the TV station entrance, and faintly heard a child crying."You bad guy! Let go of me, I want to find my mommy...""Your mommy doesn't work here anymore! If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police!""You're lying, my mommy told me yesterday that she's coming to work at the TV station!"Ella listened from afar and felt a sense of familiarity. Could it be that she had just lamented that Amy wasn’t here, and now she had encountered Amy’s child again?She pursed her lips and originally wanted to turn around and leave. After all, even if the child had lost the protection of his mother, since Lucas had woken up, he should take care of him. It wouldn't be long before someone came to take him away, and it wasn’t her place to play the saint at this time.But just as she took two steps, the child’s crying became even louder, and the voice of the security guard didn’t sound as harsh as before, but rather panicked."You, you
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 150 Moving next door
After leaving the court, Ella's mood was not very good.She had planned to go home and take a nap, but she received a call from the delivery company on the way. The furniture she had ordered online out of boredom while recuperating had been delivered in pieces over the past few days.The delivery company had been urging her to pick it up as the furniture took up space in their warehouse.Ella thought for a moment and decided to go to her new home to check on the furniture. She arranged a delivery time with the delivery man and headed to her new home.When she arrived at the doorstep of her new house, the delivery man had just arrived with the children's bed she had ordered. Even with two men carrying it, it took a lot of effort to move the pile of wooden boards.The online store had promised installation, but no one had come to install it even after half a day. Ella contacted customer service and was told that installation had to be scheduled separately. However, all the installati

"Life-saving benefactor?" Ella remained calm. "I never intended to take him away from the beginning."Lucas, who couldn't fit into his outfit, clung to Ella's hand. "You promised to take me to see the trial together today."Ella replied, "Yes, but I also said last night that we need the doctor's approval. I asked the doctor for you this morning, and he said you have to rest in the hospital."Lucas' face twisted into a bitter gourd. He was about to speak, but the ward door was pushed open at that moment."Lila, the discharge has been processed."Mrs. Kane's voice abruptly stopped.She stared at Ella, then at Lucas, and then at her own precious daughter's hand, tightly held by Lucas.The air fell into a deathly silence.Finally, it was Ella who reacted first. She pulled back her hand and smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Kane. "Um, Mom, Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with me."Mrs. Kane replied, "Okay, you guys talk first. I'll wait for you outside."With complicated emotions, she clos

“Lucas?” Ella frowned. “Why did he come to me instead of resting in his own room?”Zane repeated, “Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with you.”“Why couldn’t he just talk on the phone?”Zane hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “He needs you to answer the phone first.”Ella fell silent. She didn’t mean to ignore Lucas’s calls. When he called in the afternoon, she was on the phone with Officer Philip. After hearing about Kings Lopez’s confession and Leo’s desire to confess, she had no energy left to deal with Lucas’s matters.It was only when she ran into Matt at the hospital and was reminded of some memories from the past that she thought to ask a few questions.Ella rubbed her forehead and didn’t bother explaining to Zane. She pushed open the door and walked in.Mrs. Kane had been guided by Mr. Kane to watch less TV recently, so she still didn’t know about Leo’s car accident, let alone that he was a murderer.She thought Lila might reconcile with Dr. Leo. So when she h

After asking the question, Matt finally got his answer and stopped being curious.But Ella suddenly remembered something.She turned her head to look at Matt and, imitating his tone, asked a riddle, "That child is not his, right?"Matt: "..."This riddle really stumped Matt for a moment.The child was easy to guess—it was obviously Theo. But who was the "he" in Ella's question? If she was referring to Lucas, then the answer was definitely no.But if she was referring to Theo's father, then the answer would be completely different!After thinking for a while, Matt scratched his head and said, "Didn't we already make it clear that the child's name was Theo?"Ella immediately understood. She guessed it right—or, more accurately, it was Kai who reminded her. The child was actually Lucas’s good friend, Theo's father, Dylan!Ella thought for a moment and asked again, "So he kept the child's identity a secret from me because he had his reasons?"This time, Matt immediately understood that th
