NovelOnlineChapter 1782:
Her gaze lingered on the photograph as though memorizing every detail. “When you died, | didn’t even come. |
was with someone else—someone my family neededto be with. And when Jayden asked why | missed your
funeral, | lied and said | had other things to do.”
A choked sob escaped her. “Louis, | regret it. | regret everything.” The dam broke. First silent tears, then
trembling sobs, and finally raw, gutwrenching cries.
Clutching her chest as if to hold herself together, she cried out, “Why did you have to die so young? Why didn’t
you wait for me? My life is a disaster... so much pain.”
At that moment, Jayden and Elyse passed through the cemetery gates. Elyse’s breath caught. “Is that Corrie?”
she whispered. Jayden’s eyes widened. “She’s actually here—at Louis’s grave?” They approached slowly, their
hearts heavy with unspoken concern. Corrie, lost in her grief, didn’t notice them. She sat beside the headstone,
arms wrapped around it as if it were her only anchor in the world.
By the tthe police arrived at the cemetery, Corrie had pulled herself together. Her arrogance was gone,
replaced by utter exhaustion.

“You were right.”
Jayden frowned. “About what?”
Corrie’s voice was hollow. “After Louis’s funeral, we argued. You toldthat with him gone, the only person who
ever truly lovedwas gone as well.”
She hesitated, tears welling in her eyes. “You were right. Louis was the only one who cared, and | realized it too
late.”
Jayden remained silent at the mention of Louis’s name.
Corrie exhaled shakily. “But you broke your promise to him. You vowed to look afterfor his sake—and you
didn’t.”
Jayden'’s expression hardened. “You killed my child. How dare you still expect my care?”
Corrie let out a bitter laugh. After a moment, she admitted, “Louis toldthat if | ever felt lost, | should come
find him. He said he'd always be waiting.”
Her gaze drifted back to the tombstone. “At least he’s still here. That's enough for me.”
Jayden studied her. “I never expected to see you here. It seems you haven't forgotten him.”

Corrie said nothing. She lingered for a moment, then turned away. As she passed Elyse, she whispered, “I'm
sorry, Elyse.”
Elyse stiffened, surprised, but didn’t meet her gaze—her emotions were too tangled to express.
