บททั้งหมดของ Second chances: Love or revenge?: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

At this moment, someone was discussing, but Ella just turned a deaf ear to it and kept her eyes glued to her daughter."When that person came, he said he broke his hand, but I looked at it and it didn't look like a broken hand. It looked like it was chopped off by someone! The cut was so smooth, just like when we slaughtered pigs back in our hometown."Ella didn't expect the old woman to suddenly say these things and quickly covered Kaia's ears, fearing that the little girl would feel even more uncomfortable.The other old ladies next to her were quite interested and didn't feel the slightest bit of the gory story.It wasn't until someone caught sight of Ella and Kaia and gently pulled the sleeve of the old woman who was telling the story with great detail, "Lower your voice, there's a child next to you! Don't scare the child!"The old woman was taken aback and turned around to look at Ella holding Kaia in her arms. She then slightly lowered her voice but continued with her descriptio

"See, this is the difference between you and Leo," said Mrs. Kane with a cold snort. "Ask Lila, did Lila ask him to cook porridge for her? No! He went on his own! He didn’t even sleep and just wanted to cook porridge for Lila and Kaia!"Unable to bear being scolded by Mrs. Kane, Mr. Kane muttered under his breath, "Well, who asked him to perform poorly before and get kicked out by our daughter? He should have behaved well and tried to become a regular employee, shouldn't he?"When Mrs. Kane heard the words "regular employee," her attention was drawn away. Instead of holding onto the point that Mr. Kane was inferior to Leo, she turned to ask Lila. "Lila, you see how much Leo cares about you and the children. We've been asking him to help us without giving him any recognition. Is that really fair?"Lila remained silent.Was it unfair?It was more than unfair.If these two children were really Leo's, she would never have been able to treat them like this. But she knew their true identit

Kai stood stiffly by the door, his small body straight as a rod, his face a mask of determination and seriousness. Ella gave him a soft, exasperated glance before she opened the door to the room. She didn’t say a word, just gave him a little nod, signaling for him to enter.Once Kai was inside, Ella closed the door behind him, cutting off any chance of escape. He immediately stood at attention beside her, almost as if preparing for a drill, his hands behind his back like a little soldier awaiting orders."Mom, you can ask whatever you want," Kai said, voice serious, as though he were reporting for duty.Ella’s lips twitched into a smile at his stiff posture. She couldn’t help but chuckle. "Oh, come on, kiddo. I'm not here to interrogate you, I’m just trying to talk. Why are you acting like I’m the principal at school?"Kai's eyes widened, his little fists clenched behind his back, but his face remained dead serious. "Mom, I’m not nervous," he said firmly.Ella raised an eyebrow and t

As soon as Ella hit send on the message, her phone rang. She half expected it to be Lucas calling, but when she glanced at the screen, she saw "Leo" flashing. Surprised, she quickly swiped to answer."Leo? Didn’t you have surgery tonight?" she asked, confusion creeping into her voice."Yeah, just finished," Leo replied, his voice warm and relaxed.Ella looked at her watch. It was only 8:30 PM. "That was fast," she commented, her eyebrows knitting in surprise.Leo chuckled softly. "The patient's condition wasn’t complicated, so it didn’t take long."Ella didn’t really understand all the medical jargon, but she knew how skilled Leo was. When he said something was uncomplicated, it likely meant he handled it in no time."So, how’s Kaia today? Did she seem off at all?" Leo asked, clearly concerned.Ella let out a sigh of relief. "No, she was happy today. We spent a lot of time together, and when I told her that she’d be leaving with Jenna tomorrow, she wasn’t too upset about it.""That

After Ella received the email, she didn't contact Samuel Griffith immediately. Instead, as Lila, she inquired about Samuel’s background on the sidelines. Only then did she learn that when Samuel was an intern at an airline company during his senior year, he actually made a serious mistake at work. Not only did he lose his job, but he was also punished. Since then, no airline had hired him again!Ella didn’t ask for details about the mistake. After all, everyone in this world has scars and pasts that they don't want to reveal.Based on Senior Samuel’s internship, she felt that the mistake might not have been entirely his fault.So, she just asked around to see where Samuel went next, but unexpectedly, Samuel had turned to the police.When Ella inquired, she already vaguely understood why Samuel sent her that email.Sure enough, after months of maintaining online contact, the two finally met once when he was dispatched abroad. Although that meeting was hasty, it meant a lot to Ella,
