Chapter 484: Myrna cast Rachel a grateful glance, relieved that she hadn't exposed the real reason behind her request for the sleeping pill.
Huey pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You're right." Not long after taking the pill, Myrna drifted off into a deep sleep. A brief silence filled the room before Huey finally spoke again. “I really appreciate you coming today." Rachel couldn't help but ask, a hint of confusion in her voice. "Why weren't you with her during chemo?" Huey lowered his head, his mood visibly heavy.
After a moment, he finally looked up, his voice heavy with guilt. "The chemo was originally set for three days later, but I had to go back to my hometown for a family emergency.

Myrna remained peacefully asleep.
Rachel gently adjusted Myrna's blanket, but in the process, her phone slipped from the bed.
She bent down to retrieve it, but as her eyes landed on the screen, an unexpected wave of emotion washed over her.
The lock screen displayed an old photo of Myrna and Huey, taken during their college days.
They looked so young, their faces glowing with carefree smiles, full of youthful joy.

She had to tell Huey.
He didn't seem like the type to dwell on romantic gestures, and with everything happening, he was probably too overwhelmed to think about something like this.
Following the signs, she navigated through the hallways until she m reached the doctor's office.
But just as she was about to knock, she overheard a cold, matter-of-fact statement that stopped her in her tracks. "Mr. Dury, you need to prepare yourself. Your girlfriend doesn't have much tleft." "Is there really no other option?" Huey's voice trembled with desperation.
Even through the closed door, Rachel could feel the weight of his sorrow pressing down on the room like a suffocating fog. "We've exhausted every possible option. I'm sorry," said the doctor.
