Rachel ...
Rachel did her eyes slowly, it felt dazzled. She closed her eyes again.
Rachel recognized the voice. Only one person called her in that gentle tone. The only sound that managed to thrill Rachel's heart so far, and no one could ever replace him. Not with Dimitri, even Arthur.
Rachel ...
This time the voice sounded very real, as if he was whispering in her ear.
Xavier! That's Xavier's voice. Is he here?
Rachel opened her eyes slowly. In front of her there are Aunt Grace and Nancy. Everyone looked tired and pale, but she didn't find Xavier.
Instantly logically again, there's no way her grandfather would allow Xavier to return. She smiled weakly, how weak her heart had been? To the extent that she could dream of hearing Xavier's voice so real.
"Miss Rachel ..." Aunt Grace looked at her with emotion.
"Rachel, seeing you like this ... I really don't want to have children later." Nancy wiped her tears.
