NovelEnglishChapter 607: Her voice trembled with hurt. "I thought you'd gone to the hospital with Tracy." He clasped her waist and looked into her eyes. "I've failed you too many times. That won't happen again. I didn't follow her out of affection or out of obligation-I went because I needed to clear things up. Rachel, my intention to marry you is genuine. I know you can't stand her, so she won't be at our wedding." "Okay," Rachel replied softly, allowing him to pull her into his arms.
Her calm and measured reply seemed to sadden Brian, but he persisted. “Isn't there anything else you want to say?" He gently stroked her hair, his eyes filled with tender longing.

She paused, shaking her head slightly, her expression serene. "But now, I no longer feel that thrill or joy." Brian lifted Rachel's hand and pressed a soft kiss to her fingers. "Rachel, I promise to make you happy." Rachel forced a smile. Maybe he would. Or perhaps, she wouldn't be around to see that day come. Hand in hand, they made their way to visit Carol.
Carol was sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, where a gentle breeze floated through the air and the sunset painted the sky in stunning hues. The entire scene was breathtaking. The golden light of the sunset brushed her face, her lips forming a tranquil smile that radiated quiet contentment. Beside her, Hector sat with a book in hand. Upon seeing them, he paused his reading and gestured toward them.
Carol's smile grew wider when her eyes landed on their joined hands. She gave a small nod of approval. "Look at them, Hector. Don't they look happy? I could leave this world at peace now," she murmured, her voice laced with deep contentment. Hector gently took her hand in his.
After a lifetspent together, their bond had only deepened with time. This was what touched Rachel the most -very few people in this world were fortunate enough to grow old with the one they loved. To share such a profound love, even in one's final moments, was an even greater rarity.
As if reading her mind, Brian gently squeezed her hand. “One day, we'll be just like them-bound by love, inseparable, growing old side by side." Rachel said nothing. Deep down, she wondered if she would even live long enough to see that future.
They stepped forward and greeted Carol warmly. Carol's face lit up with joy, her happiness shining through.
