Chapter 585 The Final Breath

Inside the hospital room, Tessa sat silently at her grandfather’s bedside. He lay unconscious, and she kept telling herself he was only sleeping–that he would wake up soon, and everything would be okay.

It was the only way she could breathe.

No one knew how long had passed when the old man finally opened his eyes. The moment he saw Tessa sitting beside him, a faint smile formed on his lips.

He tried to lift his hand, but he had no strength left.

“Tessa…”

He wanted to speak, but not a sound came out.

Tessa understood instantly and grasped his hand tightly.

“Grandpa, I’m here. I came back. I’ll stay with you,” she whispered with a trembling smile at the corners of her eyes.

She couldn’t cry. Not now. If she cried, he would only feel worse.

“Are you in pain? Where does it hurt?” Her voice cracked with worry. He must have been holding on, suffering, just to wait for her. And now, finally seeing her, he could let go.

His tired eyes were full of unspoken words, but he could only look at her–gaze fixed, almost greedy. If there was another life to live, he wanted to be her grandfather again. And in that life, he would protect her better, never let her suffer.

Tessa saw the effort in his eyes.
