Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 679:

Remembering Carol, Rachel had Jeffrey send a message. “Carol, I’ve been up in the forest with poor cell service. I’ll contact you in a few days once I’m back.”

Carol let out a breath of relief when she saw the message.

“Alright, take care. I’ll be waiting for you to come back soon.”

Over the next few days, Rachel remained in the hospital, and Jeffrey took great care of her.

He wasn’t the fastest, but he made sure everything was done properly. She lay in bed and let out a soft chuckle. “Jeffrey, it feels like you’ve been the big brother lately, and I’m your little sister.”

Jeffrey blushed a little at her words.

But then, he looked at her seriously. “You’ve done so much for me as my elder sister in this life. If there’s a next life, I’ll make sure I’m born first so I can be the big brother and protect you instead.”
