Waylen gripped his phone tightly, affirming his commitment, “I’ll be there right away.”
Placing the phone down, he shifted his gaze towards Rena.

Standing amidst the nocturnal surroundings, she waved him forward, declaring, “Go ahead.”

Parking the car, Waylen hastened to Betty’s bedroom. The entire Fowler family made way for him, granting him access. Korbyn leaned in close to Betty’s ear and whispered, “Mother, Waylen has returned to see you.”
Betty teetered on the edge of life.
Yet, upon hearing footsteps, her eyes gradually fluttered open, revealing a glimmer of recognition.
Her gaze exuded a remarkable clarity.
Korbyn recognized this phenomenon as terminal lucidity. Betty had been waiting all this time for her grandson to return and exchange a few words with him….
True to form, Betty sat upright.
Waylen swiftly approached, squatting before her, clasping her frail hand and tenderly kissing it.
Betty extended her trembling hand to caress his hair.
