Chapter 664: Rachel didn't want to hear any more. She took a deep breath, swallowed her tears, and nodded. "Okay. I promise you, we will travel and see the world together. Now, get up from the floor." That evening, Rachel stayed by Jeffrey's side. The soft glow of the moon spilled into the hospital room, casting a peaceful, silvery hue over everything. She remained there until Jeffrey drifted off, gently tucking the blanket around him before lingering for a moment longer. Only then did she rise to leave.
As she stepped out, she paused in surprise. Brian was leaning against the doorframe. Rachel stiffened, clearly caught off guard. "Have you been here the whole time?" "I just got here," Brian replied evenly, careful not to sound overbearing. "The nurse mentioned you hadn't returned yet, so I cto check on you. Let's go. I'll take you back." "Thank you."

Brian's rejection was immediate, firm, and unyielding.
Rachel's brows furrowed in frustration. “This isn't up for debate. I've already made my decision. Carol said that if I ever wanted a divorce, she would stand by me." Brian's posture stiffened, the veins in his hands straining as he clenched his fists, barely holding himself together.
"I said, I don't agree," he repeated, his voice steady but edged with tension. Since coming to the hospital to care for her, he had yielded to her every request, never once arguing. But this time, he was outright refusing.
"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. My mind's made up," Rachel stated, her gaze unwavering.
