RedNovelChapter 912:
When Rachel gently opened the door and stepped into the bedroom, her heart swelled with warmth at the sight
before her—both Brian and Dora peacefully asleep on the bed. A sense of quiet comfort enveloped her, a
soothing feeling that wrapped around her like a soft, familiar blanket.
The bed was slightly disheveled, and a few scattered dolls littered the floor. It was clear that Brian had spent the
afternoon playing with Dora. At times, Dora’s enthusiasm seemed endless, and even when the adults were worn
out, she remained as lively as ever.
Rachel could easily imagine how Brian, despite his exhaustion, had fallen asleep beside their daughter, too tired
to leave her side.
She moved quietly toward them, gently checking Dora’s blanket. She tenderly pulled the blanket over her
daughter, ensuring she was warm and secure. As she looked at Brian, a hesitation flickered in her mind—should
she wake him? But as she gazed down at him, something caught her eye.
There, among the dark strands of his hair, were faint strands of grey. At first, she was taken aback. Brian was still

more and more strands of grey woven through his dark hair. A sudden, heavy sadness filled her chest. This was
the man she had loved so deeply in her youth. He was still in his thirties, yet his hair was already showing signs
of aging.
Memories of the past flooded her thoughts, especially those years when she was pregnant with Dora and the
countless efforts Brian had made for them. The weight of it all pressed down on her.
She covered her mouth in a quiet gasp, feeling a sudden sting in her nose, and before she could stop it, tears
welled up in her eyes. So many years had passed. And yet, it seemed she had becso accustomed to his
quiet, selfless support. He gave without asking, offering his unwavering love and care, silently enduring.
Tand again, whenever she was in need, Brian was always there—waiting for her, quietly accompanying her
through every moment. Yet, in all those years, she had forgotten that he could feel pain, cry, experience joy and
sorrow, and, just like anyone, he needed love and comfort as much as he gave. Over the years, she had
purposefully ignored this, unable or unwilling to acknowledge it.
That night, Rachel decided not to wake Brian. She let him sleep in the bedroom beside Dora while she retreated
to the guest room alone.
Lying in bed, Rachel gazed at the moon outside her window, her thoughts drifting through a labyrinth of
memories. Slowly, sleep claimed her, and once again, she dreamed of the young man she had once loved with
all her heart, surrendering herself completely.

In the dreams of her youth, she was always chasing Brian, trying to keep up as he moved ahead effortlessly and
swiftly, leaving her breathless behind. This time, as before, he was running ahead, and she was trailing behind,
exhausted, unable to match his pace. But then, when she could go no further, when her body and spirit were too
weary to continue, he suddenly stopped. He turned around, his hand extended toward her, offering a lifeline.
“Con,” he urged gently. “I'm waiting for you.”
She shook her head, a soft sorrow in
