A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 87: A Talk With Edward
When Matthew stepped into Edward’s office at his old home, he didn’t have any particular expectations in mind. Having lived with his father for more than two decades now, he had a pretty good feeling of what might happen in the end. Either Edward would tell him to get out of the house, or he would engage in yet another fruitless argument with Matthew and establish his dominance.None of which helped matters in what Matthew was trying to do in the first place.‘Have you ever really cared about us, Father?’ he thought to himself as he approached Edward’s desk, the latter hunched over as he inspected some documents, acting like he just didn’t tell his son to come in just now.‘Or maybe you did, once upon a time, but how about now?’“What do you want?” Edward asked, still not looking up at Matthew as he spoke. He seemed to regard his documents of way more importance than his own son.Though this didn’t surprise Matthew in the least. Typical Edward Laurier, the one who preferred business o
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 88: Alarming Symptom
Two weeks later, things calmed down a bit after the incident with Matthew’s mother. For some reason, Martha called him the day after his visit to Edward’s home office and told him that he could take his time with the painting and that there was no rush.“You’re going on a week-long vacation with Allison, aren’t you?” Martha told him over the phone. “You should go ahead and enjoy your time. I think the two of you need a break from here.”“…Okay.” Matthew hesitated for a moment. “Mom?”“Yes?”“Take care of your health.”The phone call turned a little awkward at the end, but he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.The reason his mother rarely blew up or got very angry was because she had a weak immune system. She had nervous habits that intensified whenever she was angry, such as drinking too much alcohol, not sleeping for several nights, and even refusing to eat.She was easily overwhelmed by her emotions, but she often tried to appear strong and calm on the outside.

A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 89: Always
For the past few days, Allison made it a point to watch over Matthew’s condition as much as she could. When they finally got on a flight to Rosenburg, she was tense the entire time.Matthew reached out and squeezed her hand. “Something the matter?” he asked.“Nothing. Just nerves, that’s all,” she mumbled.“You’re nervous about going to Rosenburg?” he questioned.“Not just that. I’m also worried about you.”He smiled. “There’s no need to worry about me. They’re just headaches, hon. It’ll go away soon, I promise.”Allison found that hard to believe, but she chose not to say anything. If he didn’t want to take this symptom seriously, then she needed to observe him carefully. He had no idea why she was paranoid, but it was probably better that way.When they got off the plane, the sun began its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the horizon. Allison felt the gentle breeze envelop her in a comforting embrace.She sighed softly as a sense of nostalgia seeped into her. This was the c
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 90: A Sudden Event
The next day, they arrived at the place where the Miracle Well was supposed to be.An old building. A library, to be exact.Allison stood before the tall structure, just gazing at the architecture. It had a weathered façade adorned with intricate carvings and ornate columns, suggesting that it had been there for years. The exterior was constructed with brick walls, and large arched windows lined the sides of the building.The entrance was framed by oak doors, and above them was a stone emblem bearing the library’s name. It had weathered over the years, but was still legible.Penburg Library.A few people came in and out, sunlight shining upon their busy figures. Since it was the only library in the area of this small town, there were adults and students wanting to access the archives. It was a weekend after all, so it was understandably busy.They were currently outside of the building, with Matthew’s car parked nearby. They weren’t right at the front, just at the side, so nobody batt
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 91: Alive
Allison was devastated.How could she have let this happen? She had sworn to herself that she would look after Matthew, that she would make sure he didn’t suffer the way she had.But she failed. All she could do was stand there, frozen in shock, as he stumbled and fell to the ground. All she could do was scream and hold him in her arms, crying for him to wake up.She had never been so relieved to hear his heart beating steadily.She immediately called for help from passersby, who quickly entered the hospital and alerted the guards and nurses. In no time, Matthew was lifted from the ground and examined by the doctors.He just fainted, they said. A result of stress and mental exhaustion. Probably also from fatigue and hunger.Allison couldn’t bring herself to believe any of it. After all, Matthew’s symptoms were erratic. His headaches did not occur at reasonable times. He ate three times a day, exercised, and managed his stress. He was perfectly healthy.But even though she told the doc
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 92: Best Friends
[A rewind back to the original timeline…]-Matthew closed his eyes before Allison did. He took a deep breath, wondering why he was even doing this.But he was desperate. He wanted something at least, even a miracle. He couldn’t bear to see Allison suffer any longer. He just wanted to increase the possibility that she would be cured.So even if it was something ‘silly’ like this, it didn’t matter. At least he tried.Who knows, right?What if miracles really did exist?Matthew thought of it that way, but to his surprise, his real thoughts surfaced, and they were quite different from what he had expected.‘I wish… that I could turn back time.’He took a deep breath, still keeping his eyes closed.‘I wish I could go back to those days when we were in love. When she was still in love with me.’‘When things were still good between us.’He tried to suppress the emotions that surfaced in his heart.‘I wish I could have a second chance with her. I wish that we hadn’t wasted too much time.’‘B
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 93: The Long-Awaited Conversation (I)
When he opened his eyes, he felt much better. The headache was gone, and the unnatural tension in his chest faded into nothingness. His mind was clear as his vision slowly adjusted to his surroundings.He could hear Allison’s voice saying something to him, but he couldn’t hear it for a moment. Instead, he slowly turned his head to face her, unable to speak.Because what else could he say?This was such a strange phenomenon.It was as if he had awakened from a long dream, from a completely different life, and then suddenly jerked awake to realize that it was all a nightmare.Because it did seem like a nightmare. A terrible one, to be exact.“Why?” he finally spoke, his voice hoarse.Allison looked startled at this. “What?” She scooted closer to him, scrutinizing his expression. “Are you okay? Do you need some water?”He felt like his throat was a little dry, so he nodded. It would help if he could talk to her properly without any interruptions.She nodded and quickly took the pitcher f
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 94: The Long-Awaited Conversation (II)
Matthew sat down beside her on the grass. It was currently nighttime, and the garden was illuminated by the soft glowing outdoor lights, making it look like it came right out of a serene painting. The sky was beautiful, with a spray of stars across the dark expanse and the clouds drifting lazily across the bright crescent moon.He could feel Allison tensing beside him, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she continued to stare at the flowers as though they were the most fascinating thing in the world.She was pointedly not looking at him, which made him feel a bit sad. At this moment, even though they were physically close, it felt like there was an invisible wall between them, distancing them from each other.Finally, he heard her sigh softly before she turned to him with teary eyes. He didn’t say a word, just reached out and wiped the tears using his thumb, waiting for her to make the first move.Maybe she thought that he hated her now, but that was far from the truth. His love fo
