"Bella... I want to make you happy, but happiness is the one thing I didn't give you."

Justin closed his eyes and breathed heavily, his throat hiding a whimper.

His phone vibrated. It was a call from Matt.

Justin rubbed his eyes and got up to take the call near the window. "How is Grandpa doing, Matt?"

The question was how long he could stay with her.

"I'm sorry, sir..." Feeling bad, Matt spoke in a hoarse voice, "It's all my fault. If I had told you Ms. Thompson lost the baby, things wouldn't have come to this."

"You have nothing to do with it. I caused this."
