Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 559 Heart Condition

Anna was on the verge of breaking down as well. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Taylor.

In that moment, they were each other's only solace-something deeper than love, yet untouched by romance.

After a while, Taylor finally let go. His expression had returned to its usual calm, revealing nothing.

"Come on, let's get you something good to eat."

Over the years, he had managed to bring her snacks and the occasional warm meal, but by the time they reached the island, those offerings had long lost their original flavor.

Anna pressed a hand to her chest. A dull ache had settled there just moments ago, a faint but noticeable discomfort.

"What's wrong?" Taylor glanced at her, frowning slightly.

She assumed it was just the emotional turmoil of seeing Chloe again and brushed it off.

"It's nothing. Let's go."

Today had already given her more than she could have hoped for. Not only had she seen Chloe, but she had also caught a glimpse of the rest of her family. That was enough.

As long as they were still alive, there was still hope.

Taylor took her to the fast-food place she had loved as a child. The moment she saw it, she nodded enthusiastically. "Wow, it's been forever since I had this."

Taylor had made her fried chicken and burgers on the island before, but he had always used top-quality ingredients. Compared to that, the greasy, artificial flavors of fast food were almost nostalgic.

Remembering that Yael was also in Snowville, Anna made sure to order an extra meal for him.

She still held onto the memory of the two of them sitting among piles of snacks, sharing a bag of chips.

It had been years since she last saw him. Back then, he had always clung to his milk bottle no matter where he went. Now, Yael was nearly a full head taller than her.

When they finally met, Anna was taken aback. He was 10 now, so much bigger than she remembered.

She awkwardly hid the takeout bag behind her back and raised a stiff hand in greeting. "Uh... do you still remember me?"

Yael walked up to her with a warm smile. "Anna."

Her eyes widened. "Yael? You've grown so much!"

"You've gotten prettier too."
