Chapter: 1510

Seeing the despairing scene, Alicia realized all hope was lost. She gently covered Gemma’s eyes, overwhelmed by a surge of sorrow. “Gemma, I'm sorry for your loss."

The hospital corridors were eerily quiet at night.

After the confirmation of Pierre's death, Gemma quieted her cries, standing silently next to the gurney to bid her final farewell.

Just this morning, they had shared a kiss. She had been wrapped in his arms, dreaming of their future, playfully envying Alicia and Caden's marriage, and had jokingly asked if he would marry her.

Pierre had nodded solemnly. Just hours before, he had lovingly prepared soup for her. Now, death had claimed him, leaving his body still and silent.
