Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 807:

“I know.”

Her indifference left him momentarily at a loss for words.

“Since we’ve already run into each other, why not sit outside and get some sun?”

“There’s no need. Being around you makes even the sunshine feel cold. I’d rather walk alone.”

Rachel’s rejection was firm.

But after wandering outside for a while, she crossed paths with him once again.

“Didn’t find him?” Brian asked before she could speak.

“Did you see him?”

Brian gave a slight nod and motioned for her to follow as he turned his wheelchair.

In an open area, Rachel’s eyes landed on Allan instantly. They must have just missed each other earlier, searching in opposite directions. She was about to approach—until she noticed the elegant young woman running toward Allan with a soft smile.

Bending down, she handed him a cup of water.

Allan took a sip, and she carefully set the cup aside.

The two of them chatted, their smiles easy and familiar.

Rachel watched for a moment before turning away.

Brian caught up to her. “The sun’s nice today. Why not stay a little longer?”

“Brian, you did that on purpose! You wanted me to see that and assume Allan has something going on with another woman—trying to stir up trouble between us. Too bad for you, your plan failed. That’s Lizzie, Allan’s sister. They haven’t seen each other in ages, so of course, they’d want to catch up. I’m leaving not because I’m jealous or upset, but because I don’t want to interrupt them.”

“I didn’t know. Sorry.”

“Just don’t try anything like this again.”

Rachel walked away, her frustration evident.

Ronald frowned, feeling a little indignant on Brian’s behalf. “Sir, when we saw Mr. Vance earlier, his sister wasn’t with him. You never wanted to stir up trouble. Why didn’t you explain?”

“If I don’t say anything, she’ll assume I’m admitting to it. If I do, she’ll think I’m making excuses.” Brian let out a bitter chuckle. “Ronald, do you think this is karma—that I’m just getting what I deserve?”

“Please don’t say that. One day, she will come around.”

Rachel waited in the hospital room for a while. As the sunlight grew stronger, Lizzie wheeled Allan inside.

The moment they saw each other, they spoke at the same time.
