No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 386



Could it be the funeral arrangements for Judie that were troubling?

My mind raced with possibilities, but the real answer was something only Mack could provide.

It seemed I'd have to wait for another opportunity to ask him.

But then again, there might never be another chance.

Even though Mack and I had crossed paths twice, I knew it was only in this hospital setting. Once Judie was gone, it was unlikely Mack would have any reason to show up here again. In this vast sea of faces, ours were unlikely to meet once more.

I took one last look at the surrounded hospital bed and silently wished in my heart: Judie, rest in peace.

After leaving, I went to look for Fanny, but luck would have it she was back in surgery. I didn't head straight back to the room but decided to visit the garden outside.

"Ms. Hudson," someone called out to me.

I turned and saw Joseph, alone and seemingly having rushed over, catching his breath.

His appearance didn't surprise me. "Uncle," I greeted him.
