Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 660:

The officers stood frozen for a moment, caught between their duty and the uncertainty of her condition. Before anyone could act, Tracy collapsed, her emotions finally overwhelming her.

Seizing the moment, the officers quickly moved in, taking Tracy into custody and bringing her to the station. A doctor was summoned immediately to assess her health.

Ronald calmly relayed all the details to Brian, his voice even and controlled. But Brian’s response was cold, the words deliberate and final. “Unless it’s the final verdict, I don’t want any further updates about her,” he stated, his tone carrying an air of finality. It was clear—any connection he had with Tracy was now severed, and there would be no more involvement on his part.

Meanwhile, Rachel, though still frail, had found solace in Yvonne’s constant presence. The past few days had brought a glimmer of light back into her eyes, her spirits slowly lifting under the warmth of companionship.

Brian, on the other hand, chose to keep his distance. He worried that his presence might disrupt Rachel’s fragile peace, so he stayed away, observing her progress from afar.

While Rachel’s health showed steady improvement, Jeffrey’s condition remained precarious. Though stable for the time being, his vital signs and test results painted a concerning picture, leaving little room for optimism.noveldrama

Later that afternoon, Rachel awoke from a brief nap only to find Brian standing before her. The sight of him immediately caused a knot in her chest, and her instinct was to drive him away.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice sharp and unyielding, a clear attempt to push Brian away.

Brian seemed to anticipate the wave of emotions threatening to overwhelm her. His voice was calm, though tinged with urgency. “Rachel, please, don’t jump to conclusions. I just wanted to tell you directly—Jeffrey’s awake.”

For a fleeting moment, disbelief flickered across Rachel’s face, quickly replaced by a surge of relief. “Really?” Her voice wavered, the weight of her earlier anxiety breaking through. She stood up quickly, her legs trembling as the news began to sink in. “I need to see him.”

“I’ll take you to him,” Brian offered, his tone reassuring but laced with concern.

Rachel, her focus entirely on Jeffrey, nodded without hesitation. She didn’t need to think twice.

As they arrived at Jeffrey’s hospital room, Rachel stepped forward in a rush, her heart pounding with every step. The moment her eyes met his, she closed the distance between them and pulled him into a tight embrace. The rush of emotions—relief, gratitude, and overwhelming joy—flooded over her. For a fleeting moment, the world around them fell away as they held onto each other, grateful to be alive.

Tears welled up in both of their eyes, and neither could find the words to express the depth of what they were feeling. But their reunion was brief. As their bodies were still fragile, they knew they couldn’t linger much longer. With a final, quiet exchange of looks, Rachel reluctantly pulled away. She made her way back to her hospital room.

As evening fell, Brian, aware of Rachel’s lingering worry for Jeffrey, arranged for a comforting meal to be brought to his hospital room.
