Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 320

For the next few days, I slept with Ellie.

I knew Brandon could handle it. He was the kind of person who could keep his composure even while holding me.

However, I wondered how he would manage once we got back.

After all, Ellie wanted us to live together after she left.

We stayed at her place for four days, which surprised me. I thought Brandon would rush to get her into surgery to treat her illness as soon as possible.

However, he didn't. Instead, he spent the days taking us fishing and the nights cooking gourmet meals.

Ellie and I enjoyed our time like princesses, indulging in a peaceful, almost idyllic life. If we stayed any longer, I might not want to leave. "Brandon, let's retire here when we're old. I feel like I could live to be 150 in this place." I sighed.

Brandon smiled. "Alright."

"I want to live to 150 years old too," Ellie said, now full of hope for her new life.
