All Chapters of MY GIRL, GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Without waiting for her to respond, Ella buried her face on Nanny Ruth's right shoulder and hugged her with trembling arms. She let her cry there for some time. Just when Nanny Ruth opened her mouth to say something, Ella suddenly sobbed and spoke out."Ma’am, thank you for being a mother to me, thank you for being my source of comfort. I’m scared I might die soon without thanking you."She looked around the mansion with sorrow-filled eyes before she continued."Ma’am, thank you. I’m finally leaving this mansion and I might never see you again. Please, never forget about me. Ma’am, I will go ahead."Nanny Ruth gently patted her back and gave her a bittersweet smile."Take care of yourself, Ella."Ella nodded, then ran out of the gate. She kept running until she finally stopped a cab. After settling in, she quickly told the driver her destination. Within half an hour, she arrived in front of the City Council.Her legs trembled

Ella gritted her teeth as Maya’s venomous words pierced through the hall.“You are so shameless, Ella. Why are you so determined to marry this terrifying man? Oh, I see. You want to disgrace my family because no one would marry a woman like you. And this man, desperate as he is, went as far as posting on social media for a wife. You two deserve each other.”Ella tightened her grip on the hem of her gown. Her fingers dug into the fabric as if she could crush the world in her hands.“Of course, Maya, we all know how she has lived. Since no one would marry a woman like her, she has no choice but to marry Elion,” someone murmured, provoking laughter that echoed across the hall.All eyes turned to Ella, but she did not flinch. Her voice cut through the chaos like steel.“My Lord, my husband and I are ready for this marriage.”Elion tilted his head slightly toward her direction. His eyes were unreadable, his expression cold, yet a fain

Ella opened the bedroom door and peeped inside cautiously. She grabbed a bucket from the bathroom and a rag she had spotted on the veranda while entering. After filling the bucket with water, she began scrubbing. First the room, then the living room, the veranda, and the stairs covered in slippery spirogyra. Each stroke of the rag left the floor gleaming, so clean it looked as if the entire house had been renovated overnight.She moved deliberately, making sure every corner gleamed. By the time she finished scrubbing the stairs and mopping the floor, the old wood shone under the dim light. But the night was already falling, and the remaining grass around the house still needed her attention. With a tired sigh, she left the weeds for tomorrow.Retreating inside, she took a bath and reluctantly put on the same worn dress, her only outfit. Her stomach growled as she glanced at the old clock in the living room. It was past 9:00 PM, and neither Elion nor Henry had retur

Ella’s eyelids fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.The harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital ward made her wince. For a moment, she could not place herself—her surroundings felt unfamiliar and cold.Her face was pale, almost ghostly. Her body was so frail that even the gentle breathing of the old couple sitting beside her was barely audible.Mrs. Sam, who had been quietly discussing something with her husband, suddenly turned and met Ella’s gaze.Her eyes widened in joy. A cry of relief escaped her lips.“My dear, you are finally awake!”Her husband, equally astonished, rose immediately and rushed out to fetch the doctor.Ella could barely lift her head as she watched him hurry away.When the doctor returned, she observed Ella carefully and let out a long sigh.“Give her something to eat first. She needs to regain her strength. After she eats, let her rest. Sleep is crucial.”Mrs. Sam n

“That day,” Ella began, her voice trembling, “after searching for a job and getting nothing… I decided to return home. I was so tired, my legs barely carried me… My arms felt like lead. Each step became harder… and when I got closer to the house, I saw them leaving.”Her lips quivered as she remembered the moment. “Although I tried… I wanted to run, to catch up with them… to explain… to ask them why they left me alone… but my vision blurred… everything went black… and I only woke up yesterday evening… in the hospital bed.”She pressed her hands against her face, the tears spilling uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking with every breath. Mrs. Sam gently wiped her cheeks, murmuring soft words of comfort. “You have us now, dear… we’re here for you.”Ella sniffled and looked down, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. “You see… when my husband and I just got married… I thought life would be better. I thought love would make things easier… but from the v
