Raegan’s grandmother grasped Raegan’s hands joyfully and said, “Good, that’s wonderful.”
She hesitated before adding, “Raegan, I’m not sure I’ll live to see that day. I dreamt of your father last night. It felt like he was eager to see me in heaven. I suspect my time is running out.”
Tears escaped Raegan’s eyes despite her efforts to hold them back.
Raegan’s grandmother handed her a red paper bag containing a padlock -shaped amulet.
“You used to have it when you were a child. Keep it with you. Let it bless you for the rest of your life.”
Her words struck Raegan like a farewell, causing Raegan to hug her grandmother tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Grandma, I’ve actually been married for some time. It’s a complicated situation, so I didn’t bring it up.”
Her grandmother looked stunned.
“When did this happen?”
Raegan laid out the entire story, deliberately leaving out the contractual nature of her marriage.
Concluding, Raegan said, “Anyway, he’s someone I’ve cared about for a long time. He’ll come to visit you after he gets back from his business trip.”
Night had fallen by the time she left the nursing house.
Raegan headed back to Serenity Villas.
Reflecting on her conversation with her grandmother, she texted Mitchel to ask if he had reached his destination.

Raegan had verified his flight schedule before texting him.
After a long period of waiting, sleep finally claimed her.
As dawn broke, her phone buzzed to life.
Still in a daze, Raegan heard Mitchel’s voice.
“Honey, did I disturb your sleep?”
Mitchel’s voice sounded crisp and melodious over the phone.
Still sleepy, Raegan answered, “Are you finished with work?”
“Sort of. I’ve been swamped, so I just got around to calling you.”
The sound of footsteps echoed from his end. Casually, Raegan inquired, “Heading back to the hotel?”
“Yes. Care to join me?” Mitchel quipped.
