Raegan’s grandmother had been kind all her life. She had a good reputation in
the neighborhood, and everybody loved her.
So when the news about her passing spread, even those who didn’t know
Raegan’s grandmother personally came to see her off.
The grave of Raegan’s grandmother was not far from her father’s.
When the cemetery workers were about to put the urn into the grave, Raegan
suddenly pounced on it and cried hoarsely, “Grandma... Thank you for being my
grandma... You always make me feel happy and loved.

Please don’t forget me. We will meet again in the next life. By then, we will still be
family. And I will be the one to take care of you...”
Tears welled up in Raegan’s eyes. All the people who witnessed this scene
couldn’t help crying, too.
After everything was settled, the people around dispersed.
Raegan seemed to have taken her last breath. Her face was horribly pale, and
she no longer had the strength to even stand.
When she attempted to step forward, she staggered. Mitchel quickly reached out
to hold her arm and called out softly, “Raegan...”
Mitchel’s soft voice seemed to rub salt onto Raegan’s wound.
Despite not having the strength to get rid of him, she managed to hiss through
gritted teeth, “Let go of me!”
The undisguised disgust in her eyes pained Mitchel, but he complied and let her
go.
Then, Raegan spun around and trudged away, each step seeming to sap her
strength.
Suddenly, a loud thud echoed in the air.
Raegan crumpled to the ground, limp and unresponsive.
Mitchel's face went ashen. For a brief moment, he feared he had lost her forever.
“Raegan!” He scooped her up in his arms and shouted, “Get the car!
We need to get to the hospital now!”
The crowd was left dumbfounded by this shocking turn of events.
At the hospital, Raegan lay unconscious. In her dream, she saw Mitchel and
Lauren holding hands and sharing an intimate moment.
She had swallowed her pride and pleaded with Mitchel to come back to her for
her grandmother's sake. Sadly, all she got from him was a cold sneer.
“I love Lauren more than anyone else in the world. Don't flatter yourself.”
Each word felt like a sledgehammer to her heart.
The pain was so intense, and it felt like she could not draw another breath.
