concern.
“Do you all wish for Aunt Charisa’s premature demise?” Zachary’s question hung in the air, casting a shadow over the room.
Cherise sniffled, recognizing that Zachary’s harsh words were meant to jolt them out of despair.

Damien watched them leave without a word, his heart heavy with worry.

Beckham lay awake, his mind flooded with memories of Charisa’s radiant smile from her teenage years. Sleep cluded him, even with the aid of sleeping pills. His love for her was a flame that burned so brightly it overshadowed his physical weariness.
Nevertheless, he compelled himself to rest his eyes for a while.
Beckham smiled as he thought of Charisa waking up to see him looking put together and well.

“So, you decided to bring her here after all,” Zachary remarked with amusement. I thought you’d consider Bunny’s well-being and let her rest a bit longer.”
Cherise pursed her l*ps, her eyes flashing with determination. “No worries, there’ll be plenty of sleeping time later”

“It didn’t quite go as planned,” Zachary informed her, gesturing towards the hospital room. “They nearly came to blows.”
Cherise’s heart raced as she pushed open the door, eager to witness the reunion she had longed

Inside the hospital room, Charisa sat upright in the bed, her eyes fixed on Beckham with a mix of anger and resentment. “We’ve been divorced for over two decades, Mr. Tanner. I hope you’ll respect my boundaries and refrain from further interfering in my life!”
