Chapter 642

Vance had always been sensible and hardworking, but his parents were unreliable, abandoning him to run off abroad.

Irene planned to stick to him, but her health was failing. She didn’t know how much longer she could accompany him. In any case, she would never hold him back from chasing his future or the girl he liked.

She only hoped he could live a peaceful life with someone who loved, supported, and grew old with him. Her smile remained, but her vision gradually blurred.

“Grandma, take good care of yourself. I’ll take you to Arelmoor to climb the monuments and watch the flag–raising someday,” Vance said earnestly.

“That sounds wonderful. I can’t wait,” she agreed happily.

The results from her recent checkup were far from positive, but she kept them hidden from him. Unaware of any of this, Vance chatted with her enthusiastically for a while about Arelmoor before going to his room.

Back home, Rebecca suddenly thought of something.

In the original timeline, Vance’s grandmother passed away during their senior year of high school. If they had discovered her illness earlier and treated it in time, she might have survived.

Then Vance wouldn’t have to stay in the hospital or meet Catherine there. Everything would be changed.

The thought drove Rebecca to search for information about Irene’s illness late into the night. What she discovered was an unexpected, heaven–sent surprise.

A knock on the door interrupted her research. Her first thought was that her parents had come to cause trouble again. Then she realized they had never been so mild.

“Who could it be?” Puzzled, she turned on the light.

Josette came out at the sound. They nervously opened the door together, only to see Kaitlyn and Gabriel standing outside.

Rebecca was thrilled to see them again. It felt like they had only been apart a few days.

“Aunt Kaitlyn, Gabe!” she exclaimed, staring at them intently.

Kaitlyn looked a bit younger than she did in the present, but the difference wasn’t big. Gabriel, however, looked so fresh and youthful, like a college student.

She couldn’t help chuckling, forgetting this was their first meeting in this timeline. Gabriel was baffled by her reaction but managed a polite smile. “Becky, right? Do I look that funny?”

She came to her senses and quickly explained, “No, sorry. I just didn’t expect you to be so handsome.”
