No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 784

I was completely stunned.

I knew my aunt's health had been declining, so I could come to terms with her passing. But my uncle? He was perfectly fine just the other day. How could he be gone so suddenly?

"What happened to my uncle?" I asked, my voice trembling with confusion and fear.

"You should come over, and we can talk more," the young nurse said, offering no further explanation before hanging up.

I stood there for a while, phone in hand, trying to process what I'd just heard. It was a feeling that took me back to the day my parents passed away.

I remember it vividly. It was a particularly sunny day, and the teacher was going over English grammar when Mr. Herschel, our neighbor, walked into the classroom and asked to speak with me. As soon as I saw him, he pulled me into a hug and said softly, "Kiddo, you have us, remember that."

Even though I was young, I sensed that something was wrong. "Did something happen to Uncle?"

His eyes glistened with tears, "Felicia, your parents are gone."
