When Charlotte and William heard about it, they nodded. “We’ll go with you. Last time, we didn’t really get to m Miller properly.

“We’re all free today, so let’s go together?”

The five Mitchell brothers chimed in as well.

‘Sweetie, what does Mr. Miller like to eat? Should I bring something for him?”

Charlotte asked, already reaching for her coat

Natalie glanced at her. “No need, just having you there is enough.”

Just then, her phone rang. It was Larkin

His voice was barely above a whisper. “Ms. Gardener, could you… come back for a moment?”

Natalie’s brow twitched, and a flicker of panic flashed in her eyes, gone almost before anyone could notice.

She didn’t ask anything, just said, “Okay.”

After the call ended, her phone screen lingered on the chat with Jacob Miller. She waited, but his reply never came, no matter how long she stared.

Andrew noticed the change in Natalie’s mood right away and frowned.

The car ride was silent. Blake was behind the wheel, driving fast.

As soon as the car stopped, Natalie was the first to get out, walking straight into the yard.

Larkin stood at the doorway. When he saw Natalie, he stayed silent and simply stepped aside, opening the way for her.

Natalie walked past him, her pace steady, as if nothing had changed.

But Larkin noticed her hand was trembling as she held onto the doorframe.

The bedroom door was half open Natale pushed it wider and patised in the doorway

Jacob Miller lay in bed, the blanket pulled up to his chest, his hands resting neatly at his sides looking just like he was asleep

His eyes were closed, his face serene.

Natalie’s eyes were red, her emotions swirling beneath the surface she stepped one foot into the doorway, but couldn’t bring herself to go any further.

Natalie sat on the small chair beside the bed gently resting her hand on his wrist.

Looking at Jacob Miller’s face, she was shaking uncontrollably.

She bowed her head, her fingers stayed there for what felt like forever, never pulling away.

When Andrew and the others walked in, they were stunned. Just last time, Jacob Miller had seemed perfectly he could everything change so suddenly

They watched Natalie, her head bowed and shoulders slumped, their hearts breaking for her. No one knew what

She took off her grandmother’s jade bracelet and slipped it onto Jacob Miller’s wrist.

Larkin said softly, “Grandpa passed away peacefully. Thanks to the medicine Natalie gave him, he didn’t feel any pa end.”

After he watched Natalie’s game, he felt sleepy and went to bed.
