Chapter 1729:

“When I first learned you were alive,” Elyse began thoughtfully, “I had so many things I wanted to say. But now, I realize words aren’t what you need. I just want to be here for you. Whenever you’re ready to talk, I’ll be here to listen.”

Tracy’s eyes widened in surprise, a flash of vulnerability crossing her face. “You don’t blame me?”

“Blame you for what?” Elyse countered softly.

Setting down her glass with deliberate care, Tracy’s lips curved into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “For getting myself into this mess.”

Elyse smiled softly, her voice a steady balm as she said, “How could I ever blame you for that? Back then, you had no choice. Moreover, it was the Ruiz family that tore your world apart. If you hadn’t found something to hold onto and keep yourself going, I’m not sure we’d be standing here today.”

Tracy bit down on her lower lip, her breath hitching as if struggling to keep a dam of emotions from breaking.

Noticing her turmoil, Elyse comforted her, saying, “If you need to cry, let it out. There is no need to hold back with me.”
