Chapter 196 The Note

An hour later Standing next to her bedside, Victor looked down at Rachel with mixed emotions on his face. Victor was feeling very nervous ever since he got the call from the bodyguard. For the past three days, he barely slept a wink. During the daytime, he stayed in the company and, at night, he would go to the hospital. He would usually just spend his nights sitting quietly in his car and look at Rachel’s ward from the parking lot.

He would watch the lights in the ward turn on at night and off in the mornings. Every thirty minutes, the doctor would report back to him her condition so he knew right away what she was eating and that she had vomited in the past three days. He knew all about her fitful sleep and that she had lost five pounds in the last three days.

He wanted to charge up those stairs to go up and see her several times, but every time he made the move to go up to see her, he would stop himself. He knew very well that she was right. He no longer had any valid reason to make her stay with him now.

“The guard told me you wanted to see me.” Victor was the first to break the silence between them. “I want to see her,” Rachel said and lifted her head to look at him. They both knew right away who she was referring to. “I wasn’t there for her when she died.

“Have the doctor and nurse accompany me. I can also take care of myself.” Rachel pursed her lips. “If you’re scared that I’ll take this opportunity to run away, you can join me, or send more men to watch my every move. Besides, even if I wanted to get away, I can’t in this state, right?” She chuckled bitterly.

Hearing her chuckle made Victor’s heart ache in his chest. “I just want to say my final goodbyes,” Rachel went on to say. After a long pause, Victor looked over at her and said, “Alright.” He didn’t want to see her disappointed at this time.

Victor and Rachel left the hospital escorted by a group of medical staff and bodyguards on the day of Abby’s cremation.

Rachel felt the cold air on her skin right when she entered the funeral home. In fact, such a place was not appropriate for recovering patients to come to. But Victor knew that there was nothing he could do to talk Rachel out of this. Ivan had arranged everything ahead of time.

Right when Rachel and Victor walked in, the staff led them down a small hall. Rachel saw a crystal coffin in the center of the room as soon as she walked inside. Lying inside the crystal coffin, Abby’s eyes were closed and she looked very peaceful. She donned a beautiful and colorful dress and her face was lightly made up with gauze on her forehead. She looked like she was simply asleep and not dead. Rachel’s eyes reddened.

From what she could recall, Abby always wore the simplest of clothing. Her clothes were worn and old from many years of use. Rachel once offered to take her shopping to buy her new clothes, but she refused. “But I already have clothes. Look, they are still good! You don’t have to waste any money on me!”

Rachel knew that it wasn’t because Abby didn’t want new clothes, but that she understood that Rachel was in a predicament and wanted her to save her mon Abby kept insisting that she didn’t need to buy anything for her, so Rachel had no other choice but to eventually give up. But Rachel was planning to buy new clothes for her after she left Victor.

But it had never occurred to her that Abby would only wear new clothes after she died.

“I’m so sorry, Abby. I was too late. You must have been in a lot of pain, right? You cried a lot. You must’ve cried, right? I’m so sorry, Abby. I’m really sorry. I said I would be there to protect you. This is all my fault. I broke my promise to you. Abby, can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?”
