Wyatt declared, “I loved your mother deeply. From the moment I saw her, it was a love that would last forever. Even to this day, she’s the only one in my heart.”

“Dad…”

Wyatt sighed. “When I was sick and felt useless, there was a thought that crossed my mind every day—to give up on treatment and just let go. That way, I could see your mother in heaven sooner.”

“There’s plenty of time. I’m bound to Bella in this lifetime. No matter what, she’s not going anywhere.”
