Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 563:

“Okay, Mom. I’ll get in touch with Eric.”

To Debby’s surprise, Brian didn’t resist.

Her surprise was evident.

“You’re really going to call him?”

Brian then made the call to Eric right there, scheduling a meeting.

Only after witnessing this did Debby truly believe him.

“But Mom, now I need to see Rachel. Can you help me locate her?” Brian seized the chance to ask.

“Alright,” Debby said, her voice steady and resolute.

Without hesitation, she exited the hospital room, with Tracy trailing behind, her voice laced with concern.

“Are you sure we need to call Rachel here?”

“Absolutely,” Debby replied, her tone sharp and unyielding.

“I wouldn’t miss the chance to see her at her lowest.”

“But what if Brian changes his mind when he sees her?” Tracy pressed, her anxiety palpable.

Debby, however, remained unshaken.

“He won’t. He’s already reached out to Eric. Jeffrey’s fate is sealed—there’s no going back now.”

Ten minutes later, Rachel’s phone rang. It was Debby, her tone as commanding as ever.

“Where are you?”

“At home,” Rachel replied, sensing the tension in Debby’s voice.

“Brian’s awake. He wants to see you. Come now,” Debby instructed, her words clipped and decisive.

Rachel paused for a moment, her mind running through the possibilities.

“I’m in the middle of something. I might be a little late.”

Debby wasn’t in the mood for any excuses. Her voice hardened with an edge of warning.noveldrama

“Rachel, remember—Jeffrey’s future is still in our hands. You understand the stakes and the urgency. Think carefully. If you’re late, don’t blame me for closing the door on you.”

Rachel was taken aback by the sudden harshness in Debby’s tone, but the mention of Jeffrey was enough to spur her into action. She pushed her confusion aside and hurried to the hospital, her heart heavy with worry.

As Rachel reached the hallway outside the room, Tracy appeared, her smile overly bright.

“Rachel, you’re here! Let me take you inside.”

“I can find my way,” Rachel replied, her voice calm but firm.

Tracy, however, didn’t take the hint. She followed closely, her presence lingering like an unshakable shadow.

When Rachel stepped into the room and saw Brian awake, his eyes open and his condition better than expected, a wave of relief washed over her. Thank goodness, he was awake and seemed to be doing alright.

Rachel blinked rapidly, trying to hide the moisture welling in her eyes. The relief felt overwhelming, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was still far from settled.
