Chapter 127

Sullivan saw Megan in her hospital gown, her petite face pallid with illness. In her eyes, once brimming with life, now lay a profound desolation. She gazed at him as if he were a stranger.

Not long ago, she had nestled in his arms, her voice a tender whisper. “Sullivan, the fondness I had for you might take years, maybe even decades to return… Would you still want it then?”

He had said yes with all sincerity. But the truth was, he had tossed her genuine feelings aside, trampling them into the dirt.
