Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 656

A gentle breeze swept through the cemetery.

The delicate, crystalline sound of wind chimes echoed in the air.

Tyler traced the sound and saw a string of chimes swaying from a nearby branch. As the wind caught them, they played a sweet, melancholic lullaby.

"Sleep now, my precious baby..."

He could almost hear Emilia's gentle, loving voice singing the nursery rhyme.

For a fleeting second, Tyler's mind conjured a vivid hallucination. He saw Emilia cradling their babies in her arms, softly patting their backs as she sang them to sleep.

But the illusion shattered as quickly as it came.

All that remained were the two cold headstones and the swaying wind chimes.

Tyler sat frozen.

An excruciating pain radiated from his chest, traveling all the way down to his fingertips.

He lowered his gaze and spotted a dreamcatcher resting against the stone.

He remembered Emilia's terrible insomnia.

Every time she woke up screaming from a nightmare, had she been praying that their children would visit her in her dreams?

Tyler's fists clenched, his shoulders shaking with an agony worse than death.

Israel stood quietly a respectful distance away.

Earlier, he had left Tyler by the gravesites to retrieve some memorial items. Now, he returned with an armful of beautiful floral tributes, tiny plush toys, delicate baby clothes, miniature toy cars, and even a couple of stuffed kittens and puppies.

He quietly placed the items near Tyler, handing him a soft cloth to gently wipe the headstones before stepping away to give him privacy.

Tyler meticulously arranged the soft toys and flowers around the graves. His trembling hands lingered on each tiny item, tracing the fabrics as if he could somehow pass them on to the children he had failed to protect.

He sat there in silence for a very long time.

When he finally turned his wheelchair around, his eyes were bloodshot and his gaze slightly unfocused.

"Mr. Erickso," Israel said, watching him with deep concern.

"Let's go," Tyler rasped. He paused for a moment before his voice dropped into a lethal register. "Find Vivienne."
