Chapter 747
The giant fox lost his balance and toppled backward onto the grass, the little girl happily sprawling across his chest.
“I love you, Daddy!”
The little girl’s voice was crisp and sweet as she aggressively cuddled into the mascot’s embrace.
The man pulled off the heavy fox head, revealing a young, handsome face beaming with absolute adoration. He gently pinched his precious
daughter’s cheek. “Happy birthday, Nathalie. See? Daddy kept his promise. I made it back in time for your birthday.”
“Yeah! You’re the best, Daddy.”
The little girl nodded vigorously, then turned to look at the beautiful woman standing nearby. “Mommy’s the best too! I love you guys so
much!”
The afternoon sun bathed the garden in a golden warmth. They sat around the white swing, opening presents one by one, the air echoing with endless, joyful laughter.
It was so perfect. So incredibly warm.
But slowly, the vibrant colors began to bleed away. Like the devastating end of a tragic play, the world faded into a stark black-and-white, and the joyous laughter drifted further and further out of reach.
No… Please, no…
Nathalie screamed in the depths of her mind, a ragged, agonizing sound tearing from her throat.
She didn’t want to wake up.
Mom, Dad…

Please don’t stop loving me.
“Nathalie? Nathalie!”
A man’s frantic voice pierced through the haze. Nathalie jolted awake, her chest heaving violently, her cheeks entirely soaked.
Lance cupped her face in his hands, gently wiping the endless stream of tears from her eyes.
“Don’t be scared. It was just a dream. I’m right here…”
Lance pulled her into his arms, his voice a soothing murmur against her
hair.
Nathalie stared into the pitch-black room, her eyes hollow and completely shattered as broken sobs racked her body.
Just a dream?
Why was it only a dream?
Why couldn’t that happiness have lasted forever?
They loved her so deeply back then-how could they just stop loving her the way they did?
Her vision blurred as the dam finally broke Unable to hold back the overwhelming grief, she buried her face in Lance’s chest and broke down completely.
The cries were suffocating and absolutely agonizing. Every twisted memory flashed before her eyes.
Their final moments together had been nothing but ruthless cruelty.
Nathalie wept for a long time, crying until she was completely drained of energy, lying limp in Lance’s embrace.
The steady heat radiating from his body slowly seeped into her, driving away the freezing chill that had taken root deep in her soul.

Lance’s large hand stroked her back in a slow, rhythmic motion, carefully grounding her until she finally calmed down.
The first light of dawn turned the sky a pale gray. Nathalie got out of bed to wash her face. When she went downstairs, she found Adelaide sitting on the sofa, silently crying as she stared at her phone screen.
