Chapter 688
Chapter 688:
Her smile was radiant, her eyes shining with happiness as she stretched out her hand toward him.
He smiled back and gently slid the ring onto her finger. Then, he held out his hand, waiting for her to do the same.
But the wait felt endless.
In reality, the hospital room was filled with the sound of labored breathing under an oxygen mask, the sharp beeping of machines, the unstable rhythm of the heart monitor…
Tears slipped down his face, one after another.
Even as his body weakened, his mind stayed in that dream, holding onto the vision of her—beautiful and radiant. He didn’t want to wake up.
“Mr. White, I need to check on you,” the doctor said quickly.
“Leave!” Brian yelled.
In an instant, everything came back to him, and he snapped back to reality. He pushed off the blanket and tried to get up.noveldrama
Aron held him back. “Are you out of your mind? You just woke up. Do you even care about your health? Do you know how much your mom cried for you?”
Brian pulled away and turned to Norton, his eyes full of hope and fear. “Where is she? Is she awake?”
He asked the last part carefully, almost like he was scared to hear the answer. Norton looked away. He couldn’t meet Brian’s eyes, let alone say what needed to be said.

Brian’s heart pounded. Norton’s silence only made him more restless. “Norton, you’re my closest friend. Please, just tell me. Is she awake?” Norton said nothing.
Brian grabbed Norton’s arm tightly. “She must be upset with me. That’s why she won’t see me, right? And Yvonne… she must be keeping you from telling me, afraid I’ll disturb Rachel. But I won’t… I won’t go right away, I promise. Just tell me she’s awake, Norton. I can wait a few days before I see her.”
Right now, Brian was holding onto hope, desperate to believe in a lie.
He refused to accept anything else.
Norton swallowed hard, his body rigid.
He tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out.
How could he tell Brian that the love of his life was gone? It was too cruel.
No matter how much he had prepared himself, he just couldn’t do it.
So, he stayed quiet. As if silence could change the truth.
However, Doris couldn’t hold back anymore.
She stepped forward and grabbed Brian’s arm. “Brian, it’s me—Doris. I know this is hard, but Rachel… she’s gone. She’s not with us anymore.”
Before she could say more, a sharp pain hit her cheek.
Brian had slapped her. The sound echoed through the room.
