True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 237 My Wife Can Only Be You

Seeing the car about to hit them, Alissa pushed Joyce out of the way.

The car hit Alissa, throwing her several feet. Her first thought was for her unborn child.

As she landed, she shielded her stomach with her arms, causing severe pain. She heard Julian's urgent voice, "Alissa!" He was by her side in an instant, his face etched with worry.

"Todd..." she gasped, struggling to sit up. "He's in the car... go after him!"

Julian saw the car heading for the gate and ran after it.

He grabbed the steering wheel, struggling with the masked driver.

The driver swerved to shake him off, but Julian held on tight.

Joyce's bodyguards arrived and stopped the car, subduing the attacker and rescuing Todd.

Julian held the trembling Todd, comforting him, "Don't be scared, I'm here."

Todd sniffled, looking at Alissa. "Mommy's bleeding a lot, Daddy, go check on her."

Julian hurried to Alissa with Todd in his arms.

The medical team arrived, placing Alissa on a stretcher. She clutched her belly, wincing in pain. "Dr. Martin, save my baby first. I can handle my injuries."

Trinity reassured her, "We'll do our best."

Julian handed Todd to Joyce, holding Alissa's hand. Seeing her in pain, his eyes welled up. "Alissa, how are you?"

Alissa closed her eyes briefly. "I'm fine, Julian. Save the baby first. It's just a broken arm... nothing serious..."

Julian felt a lump in his throat. This baby was conceived after two rounds of IVF, and Alissa had endured so much without complaining.

Julian knew Alissa saw him only as the father of their kids, nothing more, which made him feel helpless. He held her hand and followed her into the operating room.

At the door, Alissa said, "Julian, wait outside."

"I want to stay with you."

"Take care of Todd; he must be scared. He needs you."

"Joyce can after him. You're seriously hurt; I can't leave you. Please, let me do something for you and the baby," Julian's voice cracked, eyes moist.

Even Trinity was moved. "Miss, your husband is right. Let him stay. You're pregnant, and we can't use certain meds for your arm. It'll be painful when we set the bone."

Hearing this, Alissa stopped resisting. In the emergency room, Trinity checked the baby first. Thanks to Alissa's protection, the baby was fine. But her forearm was fractured and the other badly bruised. Trinity looked at Alissa with concern. "You're in the first trimester. Anesthesia will affect the baby. Without it, the pain will be intense. Can you handle it?"

Alissa nodded firmly. "I can do this."

Seeing her so calm, Julian felt a pang in his heart. She used to cry over small cuts, but now she was enduring severe pain without flinching.

In the past three years, taking care of Todd alone, what had she gone through? Julian extended his arm to Alissa's mouth, his voice hoarse. "If it hurts too much, bite my arm."

Alissa gently shook her head. "I'm fine, don't worry."

She said it lightly, but when Trinity set her bone, she was sweating profusely. She bit down so hard her teeth almost broke. Her hands gripped Julian's arm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh, but she didn't make a sound. As Trinity applied the splint, she praised, "You're the bravest person I've ever seen. This kind of pain, even a normal person can't handle it."

With one arm in a splint and the other wrapped in bandages, Alissa's voice was weak. "Dr. Martin, how long until I can take it off?"

Trinity said, "The bruising should heal within a week or so,but the fracture will take at least two. We'll need to change the dressings daily. And it's crucial that you keep both arms dry."

Alissa looked troubled. "Can I wrap them in plastic wrap when I shower?"

Trinity smiled. "Alissa, why are you being so stubborn? That's what husbands are for! Let Julian help you. You can't do everything on your own, you know."

Alissa was about to explain that she and Julian were nothing, but the words stuck in her throat. She lowered her eyes, her face pale.

Julian felt a pang of heartache seeing her like this. He bent down and gently picked Alissa up, looking at her tenderly. "I'll help you shower."

With that, he carried Alissa outside.

Jared and Elaine had already arrived. Seeing the injuries on Alissa's arm, Elaine's eyes instantly welled up.

Elaine had been with Alissa throughout her IVF treatments. She knew how much Alissa had suffered for the child. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Alissa. "Alissa, you've suffered."

Alissa's pale lips curved slightly. "I'm alright, Mrs. Knight. Really. And the baby... the baby is fine."

Alissa still addressed Elaine as "Mrs. Knight." Hearing this, Elaine felt a pang in her heart. She looked up at Julian and instructed, "Take good care of Alissa. If anything happens to her again, don't call me Mom."

Julian looked at Alissa's pale face and said gently, "Don't worry, I won't go to work for the next few days. I'll stay with her and Todd."

Elaine replied, "That's more like it!"

Jared had just finished a phone call and walked over quickly. Seeing Alissa's injuries, his face darkened. "The driver has been caught. This incident is due to me. That man was a criminal I sentenced years ago. He just got out of prison and wanted revenge. Alissa, I owe you an apology."

The mayor, the most powerful man in the city, was bowing to apologize to her. Alissa felt overwhelmed and immediately tried to break free from Julian's embrace. "Julian, put me down."

Julian said calmly, "It's because of my dad. Let him apologize."

"But Mr. Knight is the mayor. I can't accept this."

"But he's also Todd's grandfather, your future father-in-law."

One sentence left Alissa stunned. "Julian..."

"Alissa," Julian interrupted her, "No more running, Alissa. No more pushing me away. I meant what I said. You... you're the only woman I want as my wife."
