Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 39

Chapter 39:

In the end, Brian had left.

Rachel stared at the crescent moon outside the window, a cold emptiness settling in her heart.

She had tried to stop him, but his choice had always been Tracy.

If he was never going to stay, then it would have been better to walk away from the start.

He gave her hope, only to shatter it with his own hands.

She couldn’t help but think how truly cruel he was. Did he even realize it?

When Brian arrived, Tracy was trembling in the heavy rain, completely exposed without an umbrella.

Her frail figure looked even more delicate under the downpour.

“Tracy!” Brian hurried over, shielding her with an umbrella as he placed his coat over her shoulders.

“Brian…” The moment she saw him, Tracy could no longer contain herself. She threw herself into his embrace.

Her delicate frame trembled from the cold as she clung to him, looking utterly helpless.

Her voice was soft and touching. “Brian, you really came. I thought you wouldn’t want to see me anymore.”

Brian ran a soothing hand over her back and said, “No, don’t think too much. I’m here, aren’t I?”

“I knew it… you still care about me. You could never truly leave me, right?” she murmured, her voice breaking as she coughed.

Brian instinctively pulled his coat tighter around her. “You’re freezing. Come on, let’s get you out of here.”

“Mm, okay.”

The relentless downpour blurred everything around them, turning the world into an indistinct haze.

Yet under the black umbrella, one thing remained sharp and clear—Brian holding Tracy’s hand, carefully guiding her to the car.

In the rain, he was gentle, chivalrous, and composed.
