True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Hearing the word "orphanage," Alexander's eyes flickered.

He had a special feeling for this place because Daisy was also adopted from an orphanage.

Over the years, the Cross Family had done a lot of charity work in this area.

He instantly felt more sympathy for Elodie.

Alexander asked in a deep voice, "How is Elodie's family situation?"

Tommy shook his head, "Not good at all. Her father was imprisoned for injuring someone due to gambling and owed a lot of money. Her mother works to pay off his debts.

Elodie is in poor health and needs heart medication. When we were in school, as the class president, I wanted to apply for a scholarship for her, but she refused, saying others needed it more.

Because of her illness, she got into college but was expelled due to failing the medical examination.

Elodie is now working here alone to make money. Life is tough for her, but she is very stubborn and never lets us help her."

Hearing this story, Alexander's initial pity for Elodie turned into heartache.

He also understood the root cause of Elodie's illness.

He stared at Elodie's delicate face, squinting slightly, and said, "Let her rest and recover. I'll cover her medical expenses. Just tell her I want to use her for an experiment, and all costs will be waived."

Tommy looked at Alexander in surprise, "Why are you helping her? She has nothing to do with you."

Alexander chuckled, "Do you need a reason to do good deeds? The Cross Family has helped many people in need over the years. One more won't make a difference."

Hearing these words, Tommy's attitude towards Alexander changed significantly. He had always thought Alexander was just a playboy.

He didn't think he had any real feelings.

But now, it seemed he had misunderstood.

Tommy looked at Alexander sincerely and said, "Mr. Cross, thank you on behalf of Elodie and her mother."

Alexander tapped his head with the medical record, "You're still young. Don't judge people by their appearance."

After saying that, Alexander left the ward with his things.

Half an hour later, Elodie woke up.

The first thing she saw was Sophia's beautiful face.

She was a bit surprised and said, "Sophia, weren't you out with Tommy?"

After saying this, Elodie felt something was wrong and immediately covered her mouth.

Sophia looked at her with a smile and said gently, "Do you like Tommy?"

Elodie was so scared that she widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "No, Tommy and I are just classmates."

"Then why do you use Tommy's photo as your screensaver? Usually, only boyfriends or people you like have that privilege."

Seeing that Sophia had guessed her feelings, Elodie's eyes turned red, "Tommy is so excellent and has a good character. Any girl would like him, right? Sophia, don't you feel the same?"

Sophia smiled, "I've always seen Tommy as a younger brother and never had those kinds of thoughts. Did you misunderstand something?"

Hearing her words, Elodie bitterly curved her lips, "But Tommy likes you and has for many years."

"Tommy doesn't like me; maybe he just admires me. When he was bullied as a child, I helped him, and he has always seen me as an idol. Maybe that's why."

Sophia's words didn't make Elodie feel much better. Her eyes were a bit red, "Sophia, please don't let Tommy know I like him. We can never be together. I have a heart condition and don't know how long I can live. My family situation is also incomparable to his.

I just want to keep him in my heart and like him silently. Don't let him know and cause him any psychological burden."

Hearing these words, Sophia felt inexplicably sad.

Why did such an understanding and kind girl have to face such a life?

Sophia looked at Elodie with some heartache, "Okay, I won't tell him. But I have good news for you. The doctor who saved you is a cardiologist. He wants to use you as his experimental subject, so all your medical expenses are waived.

He will also further treat your condition. If a suitable heart is found, he will perform surgery on you, and then you can live healthily."

Hearing this news, Elodie widened her eyes in disbelief, "Really? Sophia, is it true?"

"Yes, he has already contacted hospital experts to study your condition. There will be good results soon."

After getting confirmation, Elodie's tears instantly flowed down.

She cried and said, "If my heart condition is cured, I can go to college. Sophia, I really want to go to college. I want to have the ability in the future to bring my mom to live in a big city. She has had a hard life."

As Elodie spoke, she cried.

But her eyes were filled with hope.

Seeing Elodie like this, Sophia seemed to see her former self.

A person fighting for their dreams.

She held Elodie's hand and said, "Which college did you get into? I can help you contact them. You can start school first, and we'll figure out the health issues."

Hearing these words, Elodie instinctively widened her eyes.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

But the light quickly disappeared.

Elodie smiled and shook her head, "No need. I could have an attack at any time. The school won't accept me. I don't want to cause trouble. Thank you for your kindness, Sophia."

Seeing Elodie so understanding and looking at her beautiful eyes, Sophia felt a strange pang in her heart.

Why did she find these eyes so familiar?

She quickly searched her memory and finally, an image of a little girl appeared in her

mind.

She was Alexander's sister, only a little over a year old at the time.

Alexander was holding her, sitting in the yard eating snacks.

When Sophia came over, the little girl clapped her hands and smiled at her.

Those eyes were just like Elodie's now.

Recalling this, Sophia shook her head vigorously.

What was she thinking?

That little girl was Daisy; how could she be Elodie?

While they were chatting, Alexander came in with some people.

Seeing Elodie awake, he immediately asked, "How are you feeling?"

Elodie smiled, "Much better. Thank you, Mr. Cross."

Alexander placed the stethoscope on her chest and said, "Let me listen to yournoveldrama

heartbeat. We'll do a full check-up this afternoon."

Alexander was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and the sleeves of his white coat were rolled up.

Exposing a section of the muscular, well-defined forearm.

But there was a V-shaped scar on his arm.

Seeing this scar, Elodie couldn't help but shed tears.
