No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 384



Ernest glanced over and asked me, "You wanna head over?"

I shook my head gently. Right then, Mack needed solitude more than anything.

Ernest said nothing more. After a few seconds, I averted my gaze, "Let's go."

As we drove away, I caught a glimpse of Mack through the rearview mirror, still standing there, motionless. The image of him, as if howling at the sky in despair, seemed almost tangible.

Ernest's presence had me distracted all the way to Susie's hospital room.

He didn't say a word, but as we entered, he took my hand.

The moment our fingers interlocked, I understood his sentiment and flashed him a smile, "I won't be a bother to Susie."

"I just don't want to interrupt your meal," he squeezed my hand gently, "Everyone has their own grief to bear, best to navigate it on their own."

"Mhmm," I said, pushing open the door to the hospital room.

Susie was reading a book but immediately dropped it and ran towards us when she saw us, "Bro, Licia."

She seemed even more lively and enthusiastic than back in that idyllic little courtyard, like a bird freed from its cage.

"Why are you guys here so early? Did you bring me something to eat?" Susie wrapped her arms around me, her eyes darting to the food container in Ernest's hand.
