When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 657

I was at my breaking point.

There were kids to think about, and after breakfast, it was straight to bed for me.

Gregory had collapsed, Lucius was nursing an injury, and Dailey had been on watch for two days straight. The backlog at Ford Group and SZ Technology was piling up. I had to step in and help sort things out.

Before leaving, I wanted to have a word with Christine, but she just sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone, completely ignoring me.

It wasn’t the right time for a heart-to-heart.

I dreamt of Grandma again.

She must be worried about me, visiting my dreams so often.

“Lily, life’s journey is all about experiencing birth, aging, illness, and death.”

“I’m glad, my dear, that I got to spend some time with you, to share this bond, while I was still alive.”

“I had thought I might never see you again in this lifetime.”

I hugged her tightly.

“Grandma…”

I cried freely in her arms, not wanting to hear those words.

I didn’t want to lose her, yet I had to accept that I already had.
