Holding Prisley, Heath had a strange feeling. He always acted high and mighty. When did he start caring about her?

But he involuntarily tightened his arms around Prisley, holding her firmly.

Prisley hesitated for a moment, not resisting. She was truly tired, too exhausted to fight back.

"Heath," Prisley whispered.

"I'm here," Heath buried his head in her neck, responding.

"I'm tired. I want a peaceful life. Let me go, please? I'm begging you."

No hysteria, no yelling, it’s just a calm request. Her voice was weak, tugging at the heartstrings.

Prisley really felt exhausted. She felt her heart slowly breaking into pieces, unable to piece it back together.

Heath instinctively held her tighter.

"You ask me to pretend to be Filla, but I'm not her. I'm tired of pretending, I just want to be myself again. All the good impressions I gave you were fake, not me. You love her. Or maybe the fake me. The real me isn't good at all, not worth you forcing to keep."

"Sleep, you're tired," Heath gently p

  • A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness    Chapter 133: The Proposal

    Spencer’s condition had continued to improve—faster than anyone had expected.Each day, he recovered more fragments of memory. Moments he had shared with Prisley began to return to him, like pearls rising from the depths of a once-lost sea.The doctors were optimistic. They said he would soon be discharged and could begin his rehabilitation at home. Hearing that, Prisley finally allowed herself a sigh of relief.That week, Heath suddenly told her he’d need to travel abroad for a few days—an important business negotiation, he said.Prisley, though reluctant to see him go, was so preoccupied at the hospital that she didn’t question it. She simply kissed him goodbye and wished him luck.Two days later, to her surprise, Heath showed up at the hospital. After a brief visit with Spencer, he turned to Prisley.“I have a dinner event tonight,” he said with a soft smile. “Something quite formal—I’d like you to come with me.”Prisley was taken aback but nodded. She picked out a pale lilac gown

  • A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness    Chapter 132: A Glimmer of Memory Returns

    Days melted into weeks, and everything seemed to be progressing smoothly.Spencer continued his anti-cancer treatments, and with Prisley's devoted help, poring over photos together and listening to her shared stories, he began to retrieve small fragments of his memory.This steady progress brought a newfound lightness to both Heath and Prisley's spirits each day.While Prisley's focus remained entirely on Spencer, Heath's secretly planned proposal ceremony and grand wedding were nearing completion.To ensure perfection, Heath had consulted all of Prisley's colleagues and close friends for their input, with Jennifer being his primary confidante.Of course, Prisley remained blissfully unaware.She only knew Heath was busy every day, but no longer being with the company, she chose not to inquire further.One day, Prisley wore an old dress from years ago to the hospital to visit Spencer.The moment she stepped in, she noticed Spencer's gaze fixed on her, brimming with excitement."Good mo

  • A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness    Chapter 131: The Scheme

    Days passed in a quiet, uneventful rhythm.Prisley continued her daily visits to the hospital, accompanying Spencer through his treatments, chatting with him, and helping him with his memory recovery.At the office, Heath wasn't particularly engrossed in his usual work.Instead, a constant stream of different individuals came and went from his office, delivering various proposals and samples.At a glance, it was clear these weren't related to the company's typical market procurement.Steve pushed open the door, a look of suspicion on his face, to find two salespeople meticulously presenting something in Heath's office.Several display boards, adorned with various renderings, stood beside the desk.The expansive desktop was covered by open design catalogs, and beside them, an open jewelry box held dazzling, glittering gemstones.Heath stood before the renderings, examining them intently while listening to the salespeople's presentation.Noticing Steve, Heath dismissed the salespeople.

  • A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness    Chapter 130: Spencer's Memory Loss

    Spencer stared at the doorway, a quiet anticipation building within him.Doctors and nurses moved in and out, a constant stream, yet he couldn't quite pinpoint who it was he longed to see.A persistent feeling told him someone significant was missing.Their image remained a blur in his mind, but he knew, instinctively, that they were important.He strained to recall, but the memories refused to solidify.Spencer sighed, the doctor's words echoing in his head: his memory truly was gone.Just then, Dr. Scott approached, a reassuring smile on his face."Spencer, you're looking well," the doctor said, holding some charts a nurse had just handed him. "All your vitals are better than we'd anticipated."Spencer relaxed slightly. "So, the tumor in my brain – is it all gone?"The doctor chuckled. "The surgery was a complete success, and the tumor hadn't spread at all. I was able to remove it completely. However, it did affect some of the surrounding functional areas.""That's why I feel like s

    The phone's ringtone interrupted Heath and Prisley's tender moment.Heath frowned as he answered. "What is it?... Alright, I understand."Hanging up, he wrapped an arm around Prisley, his face apologetic. "I'm so sorry, but something urgent's come up at the office. I need to go back right away."Still basking in his warmth, she murmured, "What's so urgent?"Heath reached up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "There's been a change in a new project. I need to personally oversee it. You rest up here first, and I'll go with you to the hospital later."He kissed her deeply on the lips. "Don't overexert yourself. I'll be back soon."Outside the company conference room, Steve met Heath the moment he arrived."The technical specifications for the new project have changed drastically," Steve explained, handing Heath a thick stack of folders. "Our existing solution is basically back to square one."Heath's brow furrowed as he flipped through the documents."No other way around it.

    Hours later, Spencer was finally wheeled out of the operating room.Prisley and Heath rushed forward. Dr. Scott pulled off his mask, his face etched with exhaustion."Doctor, how is he?" Prisley's voice was tight with anxiety.The doctor massaged his stiff neck, letting out a long, weary sigh."We did everything we could. As it stands, we believe we've minimized the damage. His recovery from here on will largely depend on his own will."Prisley's tightly wound nerves finally began to loosen. "Thank you, Dr. Scott," she murmured.Heath squeezed her hand reassuringly. "It'll be alright. Spencer's a fighter; he'll pull through.""The patient will be in the ICU for a few days for observation," Dr. Scott added. "If there are no major complications, he should be moved to a regular room soon. After that, there's a rather long and potentially difficult period of rehabilitation ahead."Prisley nodded silently. She knew the road ahead was long, but at least the most dangerous hurdle was behind
