Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

Chapter 17 " Ms. Neal , have we really never met before ? " Sebastian asked that same question again - the one continuously lingering in his mind . His stare seemed like it was trying to see right through Valeria's pale face . However , no matter how hard he searched his mind , there was no memory of her . Valeria replied , " No , we haven't . Thank you for helping me out , Dr. Grant . " " Dr. Grant ! " someone called out .

Sebastian turned around , so she seized the moment to leave with Selena . Selena was already six years old and gradually began to understand the emotions between adults , just like what had happened just now . " Mommy , that man looks a lot like Daddy- " She hadn't even finished her sentence before Valeria quickly covered her mouth , warning in a stern tone , " Do you still remember what I told you , Selena ? " Selena nodded .

Valeria had told her she couldn't say that the man looked like her father , but he really did look like the young man in the photo . Ever since she was little , Selena had only seen the photo that Valeria kept in her wallet on the nightstand . It was a picture of her parents together . The word " Daddy " felt very distant to her . She had only ever seen the other kids ' dads at kindergarten , but she had never seen her own . It turned out that not everyone had a dad .

However , she had the best mom in the world - Valeria Neal , who loved her to bits . Valeria walked a few steps further before she looked back . Seeing that Sebastian was chatting with a young female doctor , she withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyelashes . A man like him would always have beautiful women around him . Thinking back to how she had dared to threaten him back then , forcing him to be with her , that three - year relationship must have become a stain on his perfect record .

It wasn't that Valeria wanted to avoid Sebastian , but if he knew she was Jane , he would be avoiding her instead . The perfect match for him would be a wealthy socialite . Chapter 17 2/2 " Dr. Grant , did you get into a fight with Ruby ? She looked like she was in a really bad mood today . " The female doctor speaking was Tessa Lane , Ruby Gardner's friend . Sebastian raised an eyebrow , looking at Tessa like she was out of her mind .

" If she's in a bad mood , she can make an appointment with psych . Why me ? " He looked completely annoyed as he turned to leave , his expression cold . " Sebastian , come on . Not only are we colleagues , but you and Ruby also studied abroad together in Ikko . You two lived in the same international student residence . We all know how she feels about you . " " Just because she likes me , I'm supposed to reciprocate her feelings ? Does the whole world have to revolve around her ?

" Sebastian's dark eyes were fixed on Tessa , icy cold . Then , he looked at Ruby standing a short distance away . Such an action sent a shiver down Tessa's spine . She had just wanted to speak up for her friend . At this moment , Ruby walked over and took her arm . " It's okay , Tessa . I'm fine … Sebastian , I'm sorry . Tessa was just worried about me … " " If you're unwell , go home and rest . " Ruby's eyes welled up . She knew he still cared about her . " Sebastian … " TH 4 #
