Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 275 I'm Late

Bella stood still at the station, holding Finn, listening to the train's sound fade away until it was completely gone.

Her heart ached, like the train had run right over it, making her cry.

Finn reached out his tiny, soft hand to wipe her tears, whispering, "Mommy."

Bella hugged him tighter, braving the wind and snow, and started walking home. She cried silently the whole way, even as it got dark.

It felt like her life was a path she had to walk to the end, no matter how dark it got, without looking back.

What she owed Oliver, she'd repay in the next life.

She thought the hardest thing in life was behind her, but she had no idea an even bigger challenge was coming.

She and Finn made it through their second New Year together.

Every month, she'd take Finn to see Zachary.

Zachary watched helplessly as Finn grew from a baby, unable to hold him. But just seeing him brought Zachary some comfort.

Zachary's condition got worse, and Bella noticed.

She usually took Finn with her to the market stall. Afraid he'd run off, she had to put him in a stroller with toys to keep him busy. But when he played alone for too long, he'd cry, and if business was busy, she didn't even have time to hold and comfort him. The old lady selling vegetables next to her often helped soothe Finn.

Maybe this was an example of good things happening to good people.

In August, one night shortly after Finn's second birthday, Bella got a sudden phone call.

After hanging up, she rushed to the hospital with Finn.

At the hospital entrance, a few police officers were stationed.

After Bella showed them her driver's license and marriage certificate, they led her to the ward.

Stepping into the room, she saw Zachary lying on the bed, barely alive.

In his current state, Zachary had no chance of escaping, but there were still many police officers inside and outside the room, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Zachary lay motionless with an oxygen mask, the only sign of life being the fluctuating lines on the monitor.

Bella sat by the bed holding Finn, her eyes dry but unable to shed tears.

She even felt like giving a wry smile. It felt like God was playing a cruel joke on her. She had been living so hard, just holding onto hope, not fearing how far the end was as long as there was hope.

But now, God was going to take away her only hope!

A police officer showed her Zachary's medical record, which stated end-stage kidney failure.

When Jennifer had kidney failure, Zachary had donated a kidney to her, and now he was facing the same situation. The police said his illness was discovered last year, but he didn't allow them to inform his family or accept any treatment, and now it was too late.

Bella held his hand; this was their first physical contact since he was captured.

Zachary's hand was large, with rough calluses, much coarser than before.

Bella opened Zachary's palm, placed Finn's tiny hand in it, and then wrapped his large hand around the small one.

She said to him, "I'm here. Open your eyes and look. Finn's right here. Don't you miss me? Don't you want to say something to me?"

Bella's voice was calm, like she was just chatting with her husband on a regular day.

Maybe there really was some kind of connection because Zachary's eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Bella and Finn, a comforting smile spread across his sickly face, and his large hand gently held both of theirs.
