Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1098

Everyone was heavy with grief.

But there was no turning back now. All they could do was face it together.

Ruby and Neil led the way, their hearts almost too heavy to carry. Connor was the kind of kid who made you want to protect him, the kind that made your heart ache just thinking about him. What scared them even more was the thought of Chloe- would she have the strength to go on after losing Connor?

But right now, they couldn't think about that. The pain of losing someone they loved was all-consuming. They'd survived storms and seen it all in their lifetimes, but even the strongest can falter; their steps were slow, like their legs were filled with lead.

They hadn't even made it to the bedside before a voice-one they hadn't heard in so long, but would recognize anywhere-broke the silence.

"Babe, stop crying. If you keep going, you're gonna flood the whole room..."

Neil and Ruby both froze, stunned.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone crowded by the door to hear. In a split second, the whole group went still.

Isaac stood there, dumbfounded for a moment, then hurried over to the bed.
