All Chapters of Second Chance For Him?: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Clara's POV"Clara?" Lily swallowed hard, swiftly shutting off her phone and slipping it into her pocket. "Why are you here? You should have a rest.”She pointed to the bandage on my arm with her chin. That just made me smile with a hint of irony. She’s the one who needs to take a full rest. Lily looks as pale as a ghost, and I can tell it's not just because I saw her talking to David; she really is unwell. She must have lost a lot of blood due to the earlier incident. "What about you?" I extended my hand, "Is that David? Can I talk to him right now?"I used to steer clear of talking to him. No one at home dared to argue with him. My uncle and auntie pamper him, treat him like a fucking king, and that's made him grow up thinking he can treat everyone around him like a servant.If I didn't do what he wanted, he would hurt me.I was always scared of David, yet this was the first time I wanted to talk to him."What do you need?" Lily's voice was raspy as she moistened her dry lips. "No.

Clara's POVThe doctor had to restitch my wound because it opened up again. I’m not sure why, but it hurt a lot more this time, maybe because they did it while I was conscious. The pain clouded my ability to think clearly, I didn't even notice that I was gripping the back of James's shirt the whole time. He didn't protest. Just let me hold onto him to release the pain. At times, I could feel his hand softly gliding down my back. And when they finished, a wave of embarrassment washed over me. His tidy shirt is now wrinkled and I don't even realize I buried my face in his chest throughout the process, terrified at the sight of my blood. "I'm sorry," I said to him after clearing my throat.James looked unfazed by what I did, and I felt a wave of relief knowing he seemed to get it. "It's fine. You can sleep now. Your cousin has been dealt with; he won't be around to trouble you anymore."I know I need sleep but I simply can't close my eyes. Not after everything that occurred and thos

Clara's POV"Be careful. Use my hand as a grip." ​​I held Lily by the arm, ensuring her step was steady as I led her out of her room. She's being difficult, I want her to use the wheelchair but she refuses it. Then the nurse had to persuade her, but she insisted that only her shoulder was hurt, not her legs. We gave up eventually.Lily was supposed to go home tomorrow, not today. The doctor ultimately agreed to let her be treated at home, provided that a nurse would visit her regularly for check-ups. "I can't stay here any longer, Clara. I want to head back home. Could you please help me walk to the bathroom? I need to take a bath and get ready to leave this place." This morning, when I went to her room to see how she was doing, she said to me."But you’re not completely healed yet; the doctor still needs to keep an eye on you, Lily," I said. I don't want her condition to get worse if she leaves the hospital this soon.“If they find out I’m here, they’ll come for me.” I have to le

Clara's POV"I think so. If Lily breaches the legal agreement she entered into, they could take legal action against her and your uncle's business, since they invested a lot of money there." Keith said.Which left me out of words. I never thought the problem would grow this deep. If they choose to pursue legal action, my uncle's company would be impacted by it as well and Lily could end up in prison."Please, we have to do something to free Lily from them." I sound so desperate. "Clara, I'm afraid it's not going to be that simple. There has to be a way to finalize the contract with them, of course with a condition that they give.""What is the condition?" I asked. I want to know whatever it is. I will do whatever it takes to end Lily's connection with them."It must be written in the contract and only Lily knows. You can ask her later." Keith said, "If she wants to share with us."I'm sure Lily will tell me if I ask. She will understand. After all, I just want to help her. I remaine

Clara's POVI did my best to push aside what Lily said, but her words kept echoing in my mind against my will. Honestly, I realize she was right all along. One day, my daughter will grow up and ask me about her father.And when that day arrives, what will I say to her? Am I going to keep deceiving her forever, or would I come clean? What if Layla discovers the truth from someone else and ends up resenting me?"I'm ready!" Lily's voice snapped me back to reality. She walked out of her room, already looking good in blue jeans and a baby blue blouse. She even applied light makeup and styled her hair."Where are you going?" I lifted an eyebrow.It's been four days since we got back from the hospital, and she just can't seem to stay home for even a day. Every day after the nurse who came to check on her left, she would always ask me to go outside. Just going for a stroll to enjoy some fresh air or to grab a bite to eat."Aren't you saying you want to buy some groceries? I want to buy some
