Chapter 193 I held Willow's hand. "You can't rush things. As long as we keep trying, we'll succeed one day." Willow looked up atwith a doubtful expression. "Really?" She slumped against the car window, falling silent for a long while.

I leaned in and gently comforted her.

It was only after a while that Willow's attention shifted.

Zachary followed behind, watching Annalise patiently comfort Willow.

He couldn't help but recall how, when he was upset, Annalise would always hold him and gently soothe him. He wished he had appreciated her back then.

When he had Annalise's love, he hadn't truly valued it. It wasn't until he lost it that he realized only Annalise, with her gentle and steady nature, could offer the unconditional love he needed. Zachary couldn't understand how he had lost someone like her.

Just then, his phone rang.

Zachary casually picked it up.

Chloe's cheerful voice cthrough, "Zach, I've arranged a tutor for you, just like you asked." "Thanks, Grandma." Zachary kept his eyes fixed on Annalise's car. "I'll make sure to study hard once I get back." Chloe chuckled, her eyes narrowing with a smile. "What twill you be home?" "I'm not sure yet." Zachary often found himself lingering outside Annalise's place, watching her. It gave him an odd sense of peace, as if she had never really left.

Then, she asked, "Did you make these forbecause you know how much I love Grandma and Grandpa?" Before either Zane or I could answer, Willow's tears began to fall. She stared at the dolls and fell silent.

I took the initiative to explain the dolls' purpose to her. "Don't you have a lot to say to Grandma and Grandpa but it's hard to say it in front of them? Now, you can share oft your thoughts with the dolls, as if they are Grandma and Grandpa, listening to you." Willow gently touched the doll's face, but when she tried to speak, no words cout.

She sighed in frustration. "It feels so embarrassing to talk to the dolls in front of Mommy and Daddy. It's just too childish!" In her mind, only toddlers who didn't understand anything would do something so silly.

However, Willow had so much she wanted to share with Dorothy and Milton.

After a moment of hesitation, she

hugged both dolls and headed upstairs. "I want to spend statone with Grandma and Grandpa. Cent belongs to I couldn't help but laugh as I watched her run up the stairs.

Zane asked, "Since she's talking to the dolls, Milton and Dorothy won't be able to hean Night? They won't know her thoughts." I was surprised by his question. "Who says they can't hear?" I replied.
