Chapter 646:
Just as Stewart was pouring out his heart, Gabriela’s phone cut in with a sudden ring.
The caller ID made her breath hitch—it was Myah.
“Gabriela, I can see blurry lights now!” Myah burst out, her voice trembling.
The announcement left Gabriela stunned, then a surge of joy rushed through her. “When did this start happening?” she asked quickly.
“A few days ago,” Myah admitted, her tone thick with tears. “At first, I thought it was just my imagination, so I didn’t dare tell you. But today, I’m certain—my sight really is coming back p>
𝖠𝗰𝗍i𝘃e со𝘮𝗆𝘂𝗻𝗂𝗍𝘆 o𝗻.с𝗈𝗆
Emotion welled in Gabriela’s chest, her eyes misting as a laugh of pure relief slipped out. “That’s incredible news p>
Allan had carried the weight of Myah’s condition with him every day of his life. If he were still here, knowing Myah’s vision was returning would have filled him with immeasurable happiness.
“Gabriela, I miss you so much,” Myah whispered, her voice shaking. “I want to see you p>
Left alone without family or close friends, she often felt frightened and adrift, even though Fred treated her kindly. Now that faint lights had begun to pierce her darkness, she longed to share the miracle face-to-face with Gabriela.
Gabriela’s lips curved in a tender smile. “Alright. I’ll come right away p>
Once the call ended, she turned apologetically. “Stewart, I’m sorry, but I need to go see Myah p>
A knot of frustration rose in Stewart’s chest.
Silvermoon Village lay far off, its narrow mountain roads making travel best at daybreak, yet she wanted to rush off now—clearly eager to avoid him.
He curled his hand into a silent fist before forcing a gentle smile. “Then I’ll go with you p>
But Gabriela could never agree to that.
“You’re still hurt,” she insisted firmly. “You can’t make the trip p>
He answered with breezy ease. “It’s only my arm, and it’s mending on its own. Once we reach Silvermoon Village, Fred can take another look p>
With an excuse like that, Gabriela found it nearly impossible to turn him down.
They walked out of the hotel together, only to cross paths with Wesley.
The moment he stepped from his car, his gaze landed on Gabriela and Stewart climbing into the vehicle side by side—her hands cradling a bouquet of scarlet roses.
A hollow ache gripped Wesley’s chest.
Had he arrived too late?
Had she already agreed to be Stewart’s girlfriend?
His breath caught, and his hand pressed hard against his chest. Alarmed, Billy leaned closer. “Mr. Moss, do you want us to tail them p>
Wesley shook his head, his voice low and tight. “No. Let them go p>
Time was slipping through his fingers, and even if he managed to keep Gabriela from choosing Stewart, did he have the right to expect her to remain alone forever?
How could he selfishly want her to carry him in her heart for the rest of her life when he had never given her any promises? Once he was out of her life, her memories of him might fade to nothing in a matter of months.
Sinking back against the leather seat, Wesley’s expression turned to stone. “Back to the company.” His voice was flat, stripped of warmth.
At that moment, he decided to let go.
