Chapter 1394


    “We''ll never have any regrets between us."


    Romeo''s gaze faltered for a moment, and it looked as if stars had suddenly appeared in his eyes.


    "You''ve nned it all so well, Arabe said with a smile that could light up the night sky. “Every time I''m


    out with you, it''s a joy, but today has been truly special."


    Romeo was visibly touched, and he couldn''t resist leaning down to press his lips against hers.


    The violin''s melody was drifting to a close, and the night sky erupted in a symphony of fireworks.


    Tourists around them were gobsmacked, their faces lit up by the unexpected disy. They whipped out


    their smartphones to capture the moment.


    "What''s the asion today?"


    "Is it another one of those surprise things that quy sets up for his girl?"


    "That girl is so lucky to have a boyfriend who dotes on her like that."


    “She must be the happiest person in the world, right?"


    Arabe looked up at the fireworks, knowing without a doubt that Romeo was behind this magic.


    "I never realized before how beautiful the world around me could be,’ Arabe remarked, her eyes


    following the lights above. “Since I''ve been with you, I''vee to appreciate these slowed-down


    moments. The things I never noticed before—a flower, a tree, the earth and sea—they''re all so


    breathtaking."


    “It''s all about thepany, Romeo said, gazing at her with adoration. "Being with you, my mood lifts,


    and everything looks beautiful, everything tastes amazing, and everything we do feels joyful."


    “That does seem to make sense,’ Arabe said, sharing augh with him before snuggling closer into


    his embrace.


    Ten minutester.


    Arabe had fallen asleep in his arms.


    "Be, knowing you have someone to take care of you eases my mind’ a familiar voice whispered.


    Arabe stirred from her slumber only to find, standing before her, Grannie Grace.


    "Grannie,’ Arabe felt the tears well up immediately. She reached for her grandmother''s hand, the


    touch so real that her tears spilled out as she choked up, “You''re back!"


    She hugged the elderly woman tightly, sobbing, "I was so wrongst time. I couldn''t save you"


    "There, there, my child, why the tears?" Grannie Grace tenderly wiped away the tears on Arabe''s


    face, smiling warmly. "It was my time, my dear. It had nothing to do with you. I know you''ve been


    haunted by that surgery, living in guilt and pain. How can I rest in peace with you like this?"

    Hearing "rest in peace,’ Arabe looked at her grandmother incredulously, struggling to discern if she


    was alive or dead. Arabe couldn''t make the judgment.


    “What''s past is past. Life moves on, and I am at peace now. But you, my dear. I was always worried


    about who would look after you. Now that you have Romeo, I see he''s a goodd. You will be happy


    with him."


    Arabe''s tears flowed anew.


    “I can go now, knowing you''ll be alright."


    "No, please don''t."


    Arabe reached instinctively for Grannie Grace''s pulse but felt nothing. She froze, realizing this might


    all be a dream. Was Grannie here in her dream?


    The Luminescent Brook around them turned into a foggy haze, the boat drifting through the mist, and


    the image of her grandmother began to fade.


    "Stop ming yourself? the fading voice said.


    “Grannie."


    "Be happy."


    "No, don''t go." Arabe reached out, but there was nothing to grasp.


    “Having a granddaughter like you makes me proud. In the next life, we''ll be family again. I promise you,


    next time I won''t leave so soon. I want to be there to see you married off"


    And with those final words, Grannie Grace dissolvedpletely into the mist, leaving Arabe alone


    with her memories and the promise of a lifetime.
