Love Unbreakable By Bank Brook - Chapter 2140

While feeding Keith, Roscoe asked, Did you keep the house safe today? I wasnt here, so you had to look out for Nicole.

Hearing him speak to the dog, Nicole laughed and said, Its only a few months old, and you give it lectures every day like this.

Roscoe stood up, brushed off his hands, and explained, When I was young, an elder told me all-black dogs without white hair are extremely perceptive. Tell them something a few times, and theyll remember it.

Nicole was astonished that Roscoe, being so young and educated, still held onto these beliefs.

What Nicole didnt realize was that Roscoe only embraced these superstitions after her illness began. In desperate times, people often turned to higher powers, hoping for divine compassion.

Nicoles situation was critical, and every day Roscoe prayed that the heavens would show her a little more kindness, not asking for much, just some improvement. For him, her health and Austins well-being were all that mattered.

Nicole then asked, How is Mr. Nixons grandmother?

She caught a cold because of the weather. Ive given her some herbal remedies. She should recover soon, he replied.

The old man attempted to repair their car with tools he fetched, but since he had only ever worked on bicycles, he was unable to fix it.

Roscoe concluded it wasnt worth repairing, thinking it was almost ready for the junkyard and might not even be fixable at a regular garage. He handed the old man several hundred-dollar bills as a token of gratitude for his kindness.

But the old man declined and instead invited them to stay the night.

That evening, the old man built a bonfire. The village was tiny, and mostly inhabited by elderly people. His family and one other couple were the remaining couples. He explained that the village would disappear from the map because it lacked younger residents. Once everyone from their generation was gone, the village would be entirely empty.

That evening, all the villagers emerged, thrilled to see younger visitors after such a long time. They greeted Nicole and Roscoe warmly, not asking why they had come but eager to hear tales from beyond their village.

Nicole felt an unexpected warmth that night, with the elders affectionately calling her Sweetie, which reminded her of her late parents.
