Love Unbreakable

Aggression In the hospital.

"Raegan, I blame myself...

You've suffered so much looking after me," Raegan’'s grandmother said, her eyes filling with tears.

Her emotional vulnerability had increased over the years.

"Don't worry, grandma.

You've always been there for me.

Now it’s my turn to look out for you," Raegan replied, her eyes moistening as well.

Brent was an asshole.

He rarely made time for family.

To ensure Raegan could attend school, Raegan's grandmother had taken on various jobs, everything from collecting trash to selling snacks.

As a result, leaving the hospital now seemed nearly impossible after the exhaustion of all these years.

"My only fear is that if something happens to me, there will be no one to care for you.

And you're not married yet, so I won't be able to rest in peace,” Raegan's grandmother confessed.

Brushing away her tears, Raegan said, "Grandma, stop talking like that.

You're going to live a long life.

Didn't you tell me that we would go back to your house together one day?” A glimmer of hope lit up her eyes.

"Could we really go back?” she whispered.

"Absolutely.

Even though Brent sold it, it's still vacant.

I've rented it, and I plan to buy it back as soon asT can afford to," Raegan assured her.

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.
