Lost Me Gained Regret

Gregory let out a chuckle, mindful of Ramona and Christine in the next room, and decided to drop the topic right there.

Seizing the moment, I picked up the medicine bottle he had placed on the coffee table earlier. "I'll go give Ramona her antidote." "Alright."

Seeing him nod, I stood up and headed towards Ramona's room, only to see him follow. "Better go together."

Christine was playing Go Fish with Ramona using a deck of cards.

As Gregory and I entered, we saw Ramona gleefully pulling a large handful of cards towards her, as delighted as a child with a new toy.

At that moment, I felt that no matter what it took, as long as Ramona could live out her days happy and healthy, it was all worth it.

I raised the small medicine bottle in my hand, relieved, "Ramona, Gregory's brought back the antidote for you."

Christine asked to be sure, "Is it really an antidote? Hopefully, Mark Larson hasn't tampered with it again..."

That thought hadn't crossed my mind.

Gregory would never hand something over without being sure of it. If he gave me this bottle, then there was no doubt in my mind about its safety.

All I needed was to trust him completely.

Ramona and I were on the same wavelength; after all, she had watched Gregory grow up.
