The villa courtyard was pitch-black, and his figure gradually vanished into the darkness.
Chloe Reed’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as she struggled to control her emotions.
’Don’t get worked up. Stay calm!’
The court date hadn’t arrived yet. Nothing was certain.
’He agreed tonight, but what if he regrets it tomorrow?’
’After all, he’s always going back on his word.’
Chloe Reed closed her eyes. Only after composing herself did she drive away.
After returning to Maplewood Gardens, she showered and changed before heading to the hospital.
She had grown accustomed to staying by her grandmother’s side every night.
「The next morning.」
"You seem to be in a good mood. Did something wonderful happen?" her grandmother asked kindly, noticing her cheerful expression.
Chloe Reed lifted her chin slightly. "I can’t say just yet," she said. "I’ll tell you in a few days."
"Alright, keeping secrets from me now, are we?" Her grandmother nodded. "I’ll be waiting for you to share the good news, then."
"Mm-hmm."
Chloe Reed nodded. She had breakfast with her grandmother and waited for the doctor’s rounds before leaving for work.
For most of the day, she couldn’t keep the smile off her face.
However, when she received a phone call that afternoon, the smile instantly vanished from her face.
"Chloe Reed, your grandmother is gone!"
The call was from a nurse at the hospital, her voice fraught with anxiety.
