Karma Doesn’t Sleep The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 755

The sky outside was pitch black, punctuated only by a few distant, solitary streetlights. The window, left partially unlatched, had been blown wide open by the night wind. Winter still held its icy grip, and the freezing gusts cut straight to the bone, yet Amelia seemed entirely oblivious to the cold.

It wasn't until the sound of approaching footsteps broke the silence that she finally stirred.

Anthony stood behind his daughter, letting out a heavy sigh as he looked at her frail silhouette. He picked up a thick woolen blanket, draped it gently over her shoulders, and reached past her to securely latch the window shut.

Pouring a cup of hot tea, Anthony pressed the warm mug into Amelia's freezing hands, letting the heat seep into her skin.

"You really are exactly like your mother. When she was young, she used to do the exact same thing—sit barefoot on the rug reading her medical journals, getting so absorbed that she'd forget about the cold until she caught a fever."

Anthony smiled, though a weak cough escaped him. He looked at his daughter with eyes full of overwhelming tenderness. "Amelia, you are the only piece of Norma I have left in this world. She left us here to keep each other warm."

Amelia turned her head slightly. Her unfocused gaze landed on her father's face, slowly sharpening into clarity.

"Dad." When she spoke, her voice was painfully hoarse, like sandpaper grinding against glass. "How long will it take for me to forget him?"

Anthony gently shook his head. "You will never forget him. But you will carry his memory with you as you keep living. One day, he will cease to be your source of pain and regret, and instead become the strength that keeps you moving forward. Just like... what your mother means to me."

Amelia slowly rested her head against her father's knee.

"Dad, tell me about you and Mom. I want to hear it."

Anthony gently stroked Amelia's long hair, a thin layer of moisture gathering in his clouded eyes.

"The first time I saw your mother was at an academic medical conference. She was wearing a simple white dress, looking so delicate and beautiful. When she smiled, her eyes curved into little crescents, like the moon." He paused, his gaze distant, as if seeing the girl from all those years ago right in front of him. A deeply emotional, nostalgic smile touched his lips. "I remember thinking right then, how could there be a girl this wonderful in the world? And I knew, with absolute certainty, that she was going to be my wife, the love of my life."

"But I never imagined that the time we had together would be so... so short."
