Chapter 60

Chapter 60:

“Hello, Jeffrey. It’s Brian. Eat properly and get some rest, alright? I promise, when you wake up tomorrow, your sister will be right there with you.” Jeffrey hesitated, glancing over.

“You’re not lying, are you?”

“Of course not. I always keep my word. When have I ever let you down?”

“Okay, I trust you.”

The moment Jeffrey said that, Rachel let out a relieved sigh.

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder, Why does Jeffrey trust you so much?

Brian chuckled, running a hand through his hair. “I may not have spent much time with him, but I’ve never broken a promise. Besides, he knows I’m going to be his brother-in-law, so that gives me a little credibility.”

That actually made perfect sense.

Not wanting to waste any time, Rachel packed her bags that very night.

Brian offered to take her, but she insisted on going alone.

With Ronald arranging a flight, she arrived in just two hours.

It was already midnight when she finally landed.

Still worried about Jeffrey, she went straight to check on him.

When she finally saw him sleeping peacefully, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. Only then did she allow herself to relax.

The next morning, when Jeffrey opened his eyes, Rachel was already there.

“Rachel!” Jeffrey bolted upright, throwing his arms around her. “I thought you didn’t want me anymore!”
