Chapter 324 Midnight Kiss
Sebastian was dressed in black, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask.
He slowly walked over to Joyce.
Staring at Joyce's haggard face for a long time, he couldn't hold back and gently caressed it with his hand.
Touching this face again, Sebastian felt as if his heart was being cut with a knife.
His eyes welled up, and his throat tightened with emotion.
In a hoarse voice, he said, "Joyce, I'm sorry."
He didn't know what else to say besides "I'm sorry."
He had once promised her that he would find that miracle-working doctor to wake Benjamin up, but after two years of searching, he still hadn't found the person.
He had also promised her to help Benjamin find his daughter, but there had been no progress so far.
He broke his promises and failed to protect their love.
Sebastian held Joyce's soft little hand in his palm, and his warm lips couldn't help but kiss it.
Tears of sorrow fell one by one on the back of Joyce's hand.
He knew Joyce had suffered a lot in the past two years, missing her child and constantly worrying about him.
He didn't know how to face Joyce's persistence.
He didn't know how long it took, but Sebastian finally let go of her hand, staring at Joyce's sleeping face. He couldn't hold back and kissed her lips.
Kissing those soft lips again, Sebastian's heart was filled with wrenching pain as two years of longing and missing surged through him.
He had intended to stop after a brief kiss, but he couldn't pull away once he started.
He gently rubbed Joyce's lips, not daring to pry open her teeth, only tracing her lips repeatedly.
Even so, he was still lost in it.
A tear accidentally fell on Joyce's face.
He immediately stopped and gently wiped away the tear with his thumb.
Sebastian stared at Joyce for a long time before finally walking over to Benjamin.
He held Benjamin's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, I'm sorry, I still haven't found the miracle-working doctor. Please hold on a little longer, don't leave Joyce, she won't be able to take it."
He talked to Benjamin for a long time until he heard footsteps outside the door, and then he quickly left.
Seeing the door close, Joyce could no longer hold back her emotions.
She buried her face in the blanket and sobbed quietly.
In the past two years, her depression had relapsed, and she slept very little every night.
Even when she did sleep, it was a light sleep.
When the door was pushed open, she was instantly awake.
She thought it was a nurse coming to change the medicine, but she didn't expect that person to come directly to her side.
Having been with Sebastian for four years, how could she not recognize his presence?
When she felt his kiss, she wanted to hold him and never let go.
But if she did that, it would reveal that she still had feelings for him.
If she did that, they might expose their flaws, which may do great harm to his two-year plan.
She could only endure the pain in her heart, letting Sebastian kiss her.
Joyce cried under the blanket for a long time.
She didn't know when she finally fell asleep.novelbin
The next day, she was awakened by the sound of an argument.
She immediately sat up in bed.
When she opened the door, she saw Rachel arguing with the caregivers at the door.

"Benjamin is my son. He doesn't have many days left. I want to take him home. Why are you stopping me? Joyce's words don't work. She has no blood relation to my son."
The nurse immediately explained, "Ma'am, you can't just take Mr. Blackwood away with your requirement. He's been in a coma for two years and I've never seen you visited him before. If he really is your son, you wouldn't be so heartless." Hearing this, Rachel angrily slapped the table and said, "If you don't let me take him, I'll sit here and not leave today. Let's see what you do then."
As the nurse was in a difficult position, she saw Joyce walking over.
The nurse immediately looked at Joyce, "Ms. Blackwood, please come here. This Ma'am insists on taking Mr. Blackwood away."
Joyce's face was calm, her eyes cold as she looked at Rachel.
"My dad has had two major heart surgeries, and you haven't visited him once. Shortly after his surgery, you teamed up with outsiders to provoke him, almost killed him."
"He's been in a coma for two years, and nobody from the Blackwood Family has come to visit. Now that he's dying, you come over. Do you really think I don't know your motive?"
Hearing her words, Rachel angrily cursed, "Joyce, you have no blood relation to Benjamin. His property should rightfully belong to me, his mother. Don't think you'll get any money from me."
Joyce sneered, "So you really are greedy for my dad's property. Don't forget, I'm a lawyer. If you want to sue me, are you sure you can win?"
"You're just an adopted daughter. If I tell you that I've found Benjamin's biological daughter, how much property do you think you'll get?"
"Joyce, I'm telling you, I've already found Benjamin's biological daughter. Not only will you not get his property, but you also won't have the right to hold his funeral. After all, you're not his biological daughter." Hearing this, Joyce's face changed dramatically, "Where is that person? Bring her here. If she really is my dad's biological daughter, I won't claim any property. Or I will definitely sue you."
Rachel pointed at her and said, "Don't be smug. Tristan has already gone to pick her up. When the time comes, the Blackwood Family will handle Benjamin's funeral. You have no right." After saying that, she left angrily with her cane.
Watching Rachel's departing figure, Joyce couldn't help but clench her fists.
If they really found that person and fought her for the right to hold Benjamin's funeral, what would she do?
As she stood there in a daze, she suddenly heard a childish voice.
"Aunt Joyce."

She looked in the direction of the voice.
Alan and Beatrice were leading Paxon over.
Seeing them, Joyce immediately went to greet them.
She called out in a deep voice," Grandma."
Beatrice hugged her lovingly, "My dear, you really make my heart ache. You must take care of yourself, okay?"
Joyce nodded, "Grandma, I know."
"Paxson insisted on coming to the hospital with us. He's worried you'll be too sad. He said as long as you see him, you'll be happy. This child is really close to you."
Hearing this, Joyce immediately bent down and picked up Paxon.
She kissed his cheek and said, "I heard the message you sent me yesterday. Thank you."
Paxon hugged her neck, his bright eyes blinking as he looked at her.
"If I call you mom and it makes you happy, can I call you that often?"
Joyce smiled, "If you do that, your mom will be jealous."
"No, she won't. Mom has three kids. She'd be happy to share one with you. She says she's tired of us calling her mom all the time."
Hearing this, Joyce finally felt a bit better.
She led Alan and Beatrice into the ward.
It was the first time Paxon saw Benjamin. Seeing that face, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Paxon immediately wriggled out of Joyce's arms and ran forward the bed.
He held Benjamin's hand and said, "Grandpa Benjamin, I'm Paxon. You need to get better soon, okay? Don't make Aunt Joyce sad. If she's sad, Paxon will be sad, too." After saying this, Benjamin's fingers moved slightly.
