After Antonio returned from Beechcastle, his health
deteriorated further.
He was extremely thin, with his skin clinging to his bones. He lay weakly on the hospital bed, his eyes lifeless as he stared at the ceiling.
The doctor frowned, standing in front of the hospital bed with a serious expression on his face, his tone filled with reproach.
“Mr. Kaufman, you knew very well that your condition was serious, yet you kept running around everywhere! How could your body withstand such turmoil?”
The medical record in the doctor’s hand was crumpled, and the data and diagnosis result on it indicated a rapid deterioration of his condition.
Antonio tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a weak bitter smile, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.
“Doctor, I… I just wanted to go and see some places, meet someone before leaving.”
The doctor sighed helplessly and turned around to get the critically ill notification.
“You’re in a dangerous situation, it could happen at any time…” Before the words were finished, Antonio interrupted anxiously.

“Doctor, please give me a little more time. I want to see someone, just this once. Once I see them, I will be at peace.”
The doctor looked at him in this state and couldn’t bear it in his heart, but in the end, he nodded.
“Then I will try my best to help you make the arrangements, but you also need to cooperate with the treatment and stop acting recklessly.”
Shortly after, Grace received a message and hurriedly rushed to the hospital.
Antonio saw Grace, and his eyes instantly lit up. He struggled to sit up, but he had no strength at all.
Grace, seeing the situation, hurriedly went forward and helped him up.
“Grace, thank you for coming.”
There was no trace of emotion on Grace’s face.
To be honest, I thought we had already said enough, and there was nothing more to say.
Antonio gazed at her eyes intently, using his gaze to depict her face, as if he wanted to memorize her appearance exactly as it was.
After a moment, Antonio chuckled self–deprecatingly.
“How was he to you?”
Grace’s face softened.
“Great, my yard under the window was filled with roses.“,

“Rose…”
11 223 Hoden
Antonio suddenly remembered the lily field he had for Yesenia, but his wife Grace did not receive.
Grace looked at his expression and smiled with relief.
“It’s okay, people always make wrong turns, as long as they get back on track later, it’s actually nothing.”
“Zackery was great, partly because he loved me a lot, and also because… he was just a good person.”
Antonio fell silent once again.
“By the way…”
Grace paused.
“I was pregnant.”
Antonio heard the news, and his body trembled slightly, with a hint of complex expression flashing in his eyes.
“Pregnant? So soon?”
He tried hard to force a smile, but no matter how you looked at it, it felt incredibly bitter.
Grace lowered her head, her gaze carrying a hint of maternal tenderness.
“When I was pregnant with Talia, I was both excited and a little nervous. I was very worried that I wouldn’t be a good mother.”
“I indeed didn’t…”

“It was my fault.”

Antonio interrupted her words, his bony hand hesitantly wanting to touch Grace’s abdomen, but then timidly withdrew.
The sadness on his face was no longer able to be concealed.
“It was my fault, Talia should be ten years old now.”
“She was so good at painting, she might become an excellent artist in the future.”
Grace smiled and concealed the sadness in her eyes.
“Yeah, Talia’s paintings were really good…”
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and Grace lowered her head.
“There was nothing to do, so I just left.”
“This is also the last time I saw you. I was going to live the life I wanted.”
Watching his departing figure, Antonio suddenly felt a pang of pain that almost suffocated him.
“Grace!”
Antonio shouted, but he didn’t know what to say.
Grace paused for a moment, but she did not look back.
The pain in the heart intensified, it turns out it was really painful, able to surpass cancer, hitting the bullseye.
