Chapter 43
At Courtney’s funeral, both Grace and Antonio stood in silence for a long time.
“Sorry.”
“I didn’t expect her to want to hurt you.”
Antonio’s voice broke the silence.
Grace’s lips tightened into a straight line.
She didn’t know what to say.
Antonio finally left in silence.
Zackery embraced Grace in his arms, his eyes filled with fear afterwards.
“Just a little bit more, what if something happened to you? What would I do?”
Grace looked at Zackery’s flushed eyes and gently touched his hair.
“Actually… I knew Courtney had a problem.”
Back then, he and Antonio were newlyweds. At their wedding, she saw the look in Courtney’s eyes, it was a look of utmost love.
She had also loved someone like this before, so she knew how difficult it was to let go.

The person has died, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, there is nothing more to say.
Grace held onto Zackery, savoring the rare moments of tranquility.
The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant, permeating everywhere. The white bedsheets intertwined with the walls, creating a cold world.
Antonio lay on the sickbed, emaciated to the point that a gust of wind could blow him away.
His eyes were sunken, his face as pale as paper. The once spirited appearance was completely gone, only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
Grace received a phone call from Antonio’s assistant, whose voice sounded very anxious.
“Mrs. Ms. Parrish, could you please take a look at Mr.
…
Kaufman? He was not cooperating with the treatment.”
“The situation has deteriorated significantly now, and I really have no other way.”
Grace hesitated for a long time, but she still hurriedly rushed to the hospital.
When she stepped into the ward and saw Antonio’s
appearance, a wave of bitterness couldn’t help but rise in her heart.
Even though she had lost love, she still couldn’t remain

indifferent.
Antonio heard footsteps and slowly opened his eyes.

At the moment when Grace was seen, a glimmer of light flashed in her dim eyes.
“You came.”
Grace walked quietly to the bedside, looking at him, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“I knew I didn’t have much time left.”
Antonio pulled out a smile that was even uglier than crying.
“I think, when I’m gone, I can be buried with Talia.”
His eyes were filled with regret, longing, and a hint of guilt.
“When she was alive, I couldn’t take care of her properly. Now, I should apologize to her.”
Grace heard the name “Talia” and her body trembled slightly, her voice also turned cold.
“No!”
Antonio was stunned by Grace’s words, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
“You refused to seek proper treatment, you were cowardly. If Talia were still here, she wouldn’t have liked you either.”
Grace’s tears welled up, a mixture of love and hate, and she was somewhat at a loss from the pain.

Antonio opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but found that he had nothing to say.
He knew that what Grace said was all true.
“I…” A tear rolled down Antonio’s gaunt face.

“I knew I was wrong, but I really missed Talia. I really wanted to hug her again.”
I really wanted to hug you, the unspoken words hidden in the difficult–to–utter heart.
He really regretted, regretted that when they were in love, he didn’t embrace his beloved thousands of times.
Grace looked at Antonio’s painful appearance, sadness evident in her eyes.
“What’s the point of saying all this now?”
Her voice was filled with exhaustion.
“If you really wanted to make amends, you should have accepted the treatment wholeheartedly, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, you shouldn’t have given up.”
“Don’t let Talia down.”
