Second Chances

Chapter 67 

When Liam was ten years old, he was also locked in the basement by Elsie, waiting for his death in despair. 

“I can’t travel back in time to save him, E 

Emma thought. “Today, I will never let him face it alone! 

She said, “Liam, I’m coming.” 

Even though Emma was already weakened by the thick smoke, she still found him and used all her strength to carry him out of the room. 

“I will save you,” she said. “In this lifetime, we’ll be fine.” 

Emma, driven by her faith, carried Liam outside. 

Just as they were about to leave the villa, a burnt main beam, engulfed in flames, came crashing down toward them. 

“Oh no,” Levi said. “Watch out, Mrs. Halli” 

He was shocked and pale with fear. 

In the nick of time, he reflexively lunged toward Emma with all his might. 

Emma felt a tremendous force pushing her from behind. 

She and Liam were pushed out of the villa. 

The main beam collapsed with a bang and pressed onto Levi’s body…. 

Right after that, there was darkness. 

Emma felt like she had a long dream. 

In the dream, there w 

was a burning maze, She desperately tried to escape, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get out. 

She said, “No.. Liam, hurry up and leave. Don’t come to save me… Ah!” 

Emma screamed. 

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes, finally waking up. 

She was surrounded by a familiar masculine–style master bedroom, upscale tables, chairs, sofas, and a dark green classic–style bed bench that exuded a sense of aristocracy. The classic elegance and luxury were unique to Icovine Estate. She had returned to lcovine Estate. 

The last image in her memory was the gas leak explosion and Levi rushing in at the critical moment to save her and Liam, As Levi did so, a huge beam collapsed onto his body…. 

“You’re up?” A familiar voice instantly made Emma snap out of her thoughts. 

“Li–Liam?” Emma said as she looked at him with joy. “You’re awake… That’s great!” 

Emma looked at the neatly dressed man in the wheelchair, thinking, “He seems to be in a good state. The car accident seems to have only left some superficial wounds. There are some scars on his handsome face that will heal in a few days, yet these very scars make him look even more devilish and sexy.” 

“How long was I asleep?” Emma asked. 

Liam said, “I regained consciousness the day before yesterday. The doctor said you were unconscious for five days.” 

“Five days!” Emma thought, ‘I was actually unconscious for that longi 

The impact of the fi 

act of the fire was too much for Emma. 

To save Liam immediately that day, she inhaled too much harmful gas and nearly couldn’t be saved. 

Being able to wake up was already a blessing. 

Liam bent down and gently rested on her, hugging her tightly. 

“You made me very worried, Emma,” he said. 

“She will never know how flustered I was in the few days when she was unconscious, he thought. 

Fluster was a rare emotion that was seldom felt for a man like him. 

But when she got into trouble this time, the dark emotions from when he was ten years old spread in his heart again. 

In fact, he was even more helpless than before, 

He was afraid that he would experience the pain of losing a loved one again. 

Emma hugged him back, her slender hands gently patting his back. 

She said, “It’s all right now. It’s all over. Everything’s sorted out. You’re awake, and so am I… By the way, where’s Levi?” 

Liam’s expression gradually turned serious, and he said, “He’s badly injured.” 

Emma let out a sigh. 

She thought, ‘Liam’s close call this time has to do with Levi’s negligence in keeping watch over him. However, Levi still risked his life to save Liam in the end, redeeming himself. Levi is also a rare loyal assistant 

“He was the one who pushed us out in the end,” Emma said, her black eyes looking at Liam quietly. “Without him, we wouldn’t have survived 

this time.” 

He could instantly understand what she meant. 

His handsome face gradually drew closer, his fingers caressing the corner of her lips. 

“You almost lost your life, and you’re still worrying about another man, huh?” he said. 

“You’re the one I’m most worried about,” Emma said as she poked his cheek. “You have no idea that I went all out to save you, and you are now feeling jealous because I showed him concern.” 

She looked adorable when she expressed displeasure coquettishly, making Liam’s heart melt instantly. “Okay,” he said. “I won’t be jealous. I apologize to you. Okay?” 

A low voice sounded especially pleasant when it came from him. 

In particular, when he said “apologize“, Emma even thought she was hallucinating, 

“This man actually apologized to mel‘ she thought.

Liam brushed away the strands of hair on her neck with his warm and rough fingers before kissing her gently on the lips. 

It was a delicate and pure kiss that had no sense of lust, as if he was admiring the most precious treasure in the world. 

They shared a series of intimate kisses. 

Before she woke up, Liam had already understood the entire situation in the last two days. 

He knew that when he was unconscious, Elsie and Brad had come to the hospital to cause trouble. At the critical moment, it was Emma who got Vere to cleverly resolve it. 

Vere was so capable that he nearly caused a mishap for the Halls Group, which was such a huge company. 

He also learned that Emma had barged into the Hall family’s villa to save him. 

She single–handedly knocked down all the bodyguards and even stabbed Elsie in the mouth. 

He thought, ‘Emma was able to scare such an arrogant woman out of her wits. This goes to show how powerful my wife is!” 

Liam’s kiss was dominant and passionate. 

His lips grazed against her ear, making rustling sounds. She then heard him say in a soft voice, “Emma, after we’re done with this…” 

Emma was in a daze from his kiss, so she didn’t catch the rest of his words. 

“Huh?” she asked. 

Liam did not answer. He was lost in the intimacy. 

“Just now… mm, you said after we’re done with what?” she asked. 

Liam’s warm breath brushed against the hair near her ear. He kissed her hair and said, “I said after we’re done with this, I want to have a baby 

with you.” 

Emma instantly blushed, thinking, ‘Baby! I haven’t thought about that before!‘ 

As Liam saw her blushing adorably, he was even more unable to control himself. He then untied her nightgown… 

Emma had just woken up, so Liam did not let her expend too much energy. 

When their intimacy reached its peak, she tightly gripped his wrists and snuggled up to him, feeling a great sense of trust and security. 

It was lingering and pleasurable. 

After relaxing physically and mentally, the two of them hugged each other tightly and slept. It was the most peaceful sleep they had had in recent years. 

The next day, Liam summoned several confidants from Team Thunder to his study and asked, “How’s Elsie?” 

“Her mouth is seriously injured. She doesn’t dare to complain to Mr. Simon. The situation at Brad’s company has just stabilized. He may lay a hand on you again next.”

“What about the police?” Liam asked. 

Another person took out some documents and said, “The police still believe that this car accident is just an ordinary case of drunk driving. They’ve already arrested the perpetrator. But I noticed that recently, there’s something suspicious in Elsie’s private account. Please take a look, Mr. Hall.” 

“Okay,” Liam said. 

He thought. ‘I knew right from the start that the sports car in the tunnel was coming for me. Just like the doctor said, I could have avoided it by survival instinct, but I intentionally chose not to. I knew Elsie wanted to test my legs, so I pretended to fall for her scheme, causing her to be fooled. I was prepared to take the risk of losing my life, but as long as I survive, it will be the end of Elsie an
