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 planned it all so well, Arabella said with a smile that could light up the night sky. “Every tI'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 display. They whipped out their smartphones to

capture the moment.

"What's the occasion 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?"

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

"I never realized before how beautiful the world aroundcould be,” Arabella remarked, her eyes following the lights above.

“Since I've been with you, I've cto appreciate these slowed-down moments. The things | never noticed before—a flower, a

tree, the earth and sea—they're all so breathtaking."

“It's all about the company, 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,” Arabella said, sharing a laugh with him before snuggling closer into his embrace.

Ten minutes later.

Arabella had fallen asleep in his arms.

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

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

"Grannie,” Arabella 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, "Il was so wrong last time. | couldn't save you"

"There, there, my child, why the tears?" Grannie Grace tenderly wiped away the tears on Arabella's face, smiling warmly. "It was

my time, my dear. It had nothing to do with you. | know you've been haunted by that surgery, living in guilt and pain. How can |

rest in peace with you like this?"

Hearing "rest in peace,” Arabella looked at her grandmother incredulously, struggling to discern if she was alive or dead. Arabella

couldn't make the judgment.

“What's past is past. Life moves on, and | am at peace now. But you, my dear. | was always worried about who would look after

you. Now that you have Romeo, | see he's a good lad. You will be happy with him."

Arabella's tears flowed anew.

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

"No, please don't."

Arabella 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 blaming yourself? the fading voice said.

“Grannie."

"Be happy."

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

“Having a granddaughter like you makesproud. In the next life, we'll be family again. | promise you, next t| won't leave so

soon. | want to be there to see you married off"

And with those final words, Grannie Grace dissolved completely into the mist, leaving Arabella alone with her memories and the

promise of a lifetime.
