How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 782

Back then, he was already in enough pain.

He'd been misunderstood in so many ways, by so many people-but when it came to that child, he simply couldn't let go.

That's why, after everything happened, he kept flying out to New York.

Only by checking in every month, seeing for himself how things were, could he find any peace.

It had become his anchor.

He'd always been a man who kept his emotions tightly leashed, but with Elodie and the baby, he held nothing back.

Elodie stared at Jarrod for a long moment, unable to stop herself from laughing through her tears.

She'd come so close to being trapped by regret for the rest of her life.

But fate, it seemed, had given her Jarrod.

He always saw the bigger picture, always managed to plan ten steps ahead.

He'd given her a lifeline-a chance big enough to rewrite the rest of her days. She couldn't deny it.
