Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 

Wade stopped in his tracks, turning to look at me with a hint of surprise 

I suddenly realized how forward I’d been and quickly tried to backtrack. “I didn’t mean to overstep, I just thought- 

That’s fine, Wade cut me off 

She was so lively before, Wade murmured, almost to himself. ‘Loved meeting new people. If you visit her, she’ll be happy, I’m sure.” 

The way he spoke tugged at my heart. 

“Come with me,” he said, leading the way. 

As I followed, I couldn’t help but notice how heavy his steps seemed, as if the quilt and sadness were dragging him down. We made our way to a rehabilitation room that looked almost like the VIP suite Yuna stayed in–spacious, comfortable, clearly a place for someone from a well–off family. 

When we reached the door, Wade turned to me, his eyes holding something unsaid. 

1 thought maybe he was having second thoughts. “If it’s not convenient, we can come back another time,” I offered quickly. 

“You really do look like her,” Wade said, “But she’s thinner now.” 

I had almost forgotten–there was a girl out there who looked eerily like me. 

I smiled lightly. “True beauty doesn’t fade that easily.” 

Wade let out a faint chuckle, then opened the door. 

The first thing I saw was a caregiver gently massaging the girl on the bed. She looked up when she saw us and immediately stood. 

“Take a break. I’ll call you back in a bit,” Wade said, his tone respectful. 

The caregiver nodded and quietly left, though not without giving me a curious glance. 

noticed the resemblance too. 

She must’ve 

“Does the caregiver take care of her when you’re not here?” I asked, trying to break the thick silence that hung over the room like a cloud. 

Wade seemed even more weighed down since we entered. 

“Yeah. I still have to work, so I can’t always be here,” he said, setting the fruit down on a small table before sitting beside the bed. 

followed, stepping closer, and when Wade sat down, I finally got a good look at the girl lying there. 

Her skin was pale, almost translucent, and her hair fanned out on the pillow. Her eyes were barely closed. lips slightly parted. She didn’t look comatose–she looked like she was simply sleeping. 

And she was beautiful. Like a real–life Sleeping Beauty

The most striking thing about her was a tiny, tear–shaped mole at the corner of her eye, making her delicate beauty even more heartbreaking 

“She was brilliant,” Wade began, his voice soft, his gaze never leaving her face. “Skipped grades, didn’t even take the college entrance exam–KRA recruited her early. By twenty–six, she was already our advisor… 

His words were laced with pain, his regret hanging in the air. 

“If that accident hadn’t happened, she’d probably be the youngest professor by now,” he added, his voice 

thick with sorrow 

“What happened? Was it really an accident?” I asked, curiosity slipping out before I could stop it. 

Wade didn’t answer right away. He just stared at her, silent for a long moment, before finally saying, “It was my fault.”
