No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 785

Dr. Thompson handed me a small bottle. "This is what Mr. Sears gave to Lily, and what he took himself."

I stared at the label, feeling my throat tighten. "They must have been in so much pain to make this choice."

I remembered the conversations with my uncle. He had hinted at it before, but I thought it was just a contingency plan-something he considered only if Aunt Lily passed first. I never imagined he wouldn't want her to suffer and would choose to go with her.

"This is Mr. Sears' letter, for you," Dr. Thompson said, passing me an envelope.

I took it, unfolding the paper to find my uncle's handwriting:

My dear Felicia, I'm sorry I can't be there to take care of you anymore. I've chosen this path, and Lily and I discussed it after little Judie left us.

Please don't be sad or blame me for being selfish. I simply couldn't bear the thought of staying in this world without them, so I'm taking your Aunt Lily to see Judie.

Felicia, having you as family in these last days has been a blessing. But I couldn't let go of my own daughter, so I'm going to be with her.
