A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2771 In reality, Marcus never grasped the distinction between his world and hers.

What he regarded as commonplace, she accepted with the utmost caution.

After a twenty-minute drive, the car halted before an antiquated building. Marcus furrowed his brow, eyeing the dim Lights within.

“Didn't l instruct you to rent a place near my apartment? This residence is five miles away from mine. How is this considered close? Even mice would shun this place! What's with the $20, @0@ allowance?” In a hushed tone, Melissa defended herself. “I've never been tardy.” Following a prolonged, scrutinizing gaze, Marcus mumbled, “Indeed, you've never been late, but...

A subtle romantic ambiance permeated the car.

Melissa Lowered her head and kept quiet. Mercifully, he halted and grinned. “I've never encountered someone as fond of money as you.” Tossing his phone to her, he instructed, “Input your precise address.” After a brief pause, she entered her address. Subsequently, she opened the door and disembarked. Bending slightly, she expressed her gratitude.

Marcus turned his head, offering a reserved nod.

The black Rolls-Royce departed, gradually fading into the night.

Along with its departure, Melissa's smile waned.

Clutching her belly, she ascended the stairs at a leisurely pace.

The staircase was devoid of light, so she stooped to activate her phone's flashlight.

After a considerable amount of time, she eventually reached the attic on the highest floor. Upon opening the door, she poured herself a glass of hot water, taking small sips in an attempt to alleviate the persistent dull pain in her lower abdomen.

She leaned against the bed and took a rest, her gaze directed towards the small window in that direction.

The sky exhibited a faint white hue due to the rain.

Marcus crossed her mind. He was likely heading home by now.

A call from the hospital interrupted her thoughts. The familiar voice on the other end uttered, “Melissa, let's abandon this. I no longer desire further therapy. I can't endure waiting for the operation. I wish to return.” Clutching the phone tightly, Melissa responded tersely, “Just endure a bit longer. I'l find a way." The individual on the other end abruptly terminated the call.

A wave of despair engulfed Melissa. Familiar feelings of hopelessness resurfaced.

Chapter 2772 The warmth she once relished in the apartment had vanished, leaving behind only fear and a sense of helplessness about the future.

Recently graduated, Melissa lacked the means to cover the 800, 000 dollars required for the surgery.

Gradually sinking onto the bed, Melissa's lips quivered. She embraced herself tenderly.

Over two years, she questioned if the love she once knew persisted.

During this time, she grappled with the daily dread of fundraising.

They hadn't enjoyed a decent meal together, and their conversations revolved around therapy, even during phone calls.

Their most recent encounter took place a month ago.

Ironically, the person she communicated with the most in her life was Marcus.

In a fetal position, Melissa experienced a sudden surge of regret.

Marcus had been subtly expressing his fondness for her.

Entertaining the notion of allowing him to have her, she wondered if it would resolve everything.

She would attain her desires, and Marcus would achieve his.

AngelasLibrary Yet the contemplation alone left her feeling contemptible.

A soft knock resonated on the door, accompanied by Marcus’ voice, urging, “Open the door.” Melissa was taken aback upon hearing Marcus’ voice.

The question echoed in her mind-Why was he here? Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Lost in thought, Melissa was jolted when Marcus declared from outside, “If you don't open the door, I'l kick it open. This door’s not gonna hold anyway!" Faced with little choice, Melissa reluctantly rose and opened the door for him.

As the door swung open, she immediately noticed the somber expression on Marcus’ face. Although it swiftly reverted to his usual arrogance.

“There's not much room in here,” Melissa said in a low murmur.

Marcus peered into the attic, discovering its confined space, measuring less than 40 square meters.

However, despite its size, the area was impeccably clean and orderly.

Unfazed by the modest surroundings, he brought the bag inside. His upscale, tailored attire stood in stark contrast to her humble place, yet he seemed entirely at ease. Within the attic, Marcus retrieved a medicine box from the bag, declaring, “Painkillers. You know how to take them, right?” Melissa, still bewildered, gazed at him without comprehension.

Chapter 2773 The perplexity lingered as she questioned why someone of his stature insisted on visiting and why he paid no mind to their differing worlds.

Quietly, her eyes welled with redness.

“You seem surprised?” he inquired as Melissa struggled to grasp the unexpected situation.

Wearing a condescending expression, Marcus quipped, “Need your boss to fetch you some water?” Shaking her head, Melissa replied, “Of course not, Mr. Fowler.

Besides, you don't have to be so considerate.” “I'm just concerned there won't be anyone to cook for me,” Marcus retorted, his tone more amiable.

Despite his duplicitous nature, he poured her a glass of water and urged, “Take the medicine.” While Marcus enjoyed teasing her under normal circumstances, he felt a responsibility to care for her in sickness.

Despite the small and aged surroundings, Melissa maintained her self-esteem.
