Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 800:

“Rachel, he’s never even met my boyfriend, yet he’s already convinced he’s a gold digger. Isn’t that unfair? Besides, I never even told my boyfriend who I really am. If he knew, he probably would’ve been scared off a long time ago.”

Natalia’s irritation melted into distress, and before Rachel could respond, she pulled her into a tight hug.

Rachel let her hold on, waiting for Natalia’s emotions to settle before finally speaking.

“Natalia, some things aren’t so easily explained. But one thing is certain—your dad loves you deeply and just wants to protect you. He’s afraid you’ll get hurt.

As for love, it always starts off beautifully… but later… well, it doesn’t always stay that way. Anyway, you have your own life. Whatever happened between Brian and me shouldn’t shape the way you see love.”

After selecting the fish, they picked out a few more groceries.

Since Natalia had her heart set on Rachel’s cooking, Rachel made sure to buy extra.

At the checkout, Natalia couldn’t keep it in any longer.

“Rachel… actually, my dad let me out two days ago. I was going to come see you, but then Ronald called. He said Brian was sick and refusing to go to the hospital.”

Rachel’s expression remained unchanged.

“If he’s sick, he should see a doctor. Why did Ronald call you?”

“The doctors who went to check on him? He threw them out. His parents tried talking to him, but he refused to see them. And things between him and his mother are worse than ever. She was in tears when she begged me to help, so… I went.”

Rachel’s voice was steady.

“You went, and he agreed to see a doctor?”

Natalia shook her head.noveldrama

“No.”

That was all she said. Rachel didn’t press further, and Natalia didn’t offer more.

After checking out, they walked in silence for a long time before Natalia finally blurted out,

“Rachel, aren’t you even a little curious about what happened next?”

Rachel’s gaze remained forward.

“I used to be. I used to care—a lot. But that part of my life is behind me. Now? Unless it’s someone I truly care about, their fate isn’t my concern.”

Natalia quickly asked,

“The person you care about—was it the man you were pushing in the wheelchair at the hospital today?”
