Chapter 618

“Her condition has worsened now; she may not last long. Are you happy in your heart?” I looked at Anton.

His handsome brows furrowed slightly as he gazed into the distance.

It took a long time before he said, “She has one of my dad’s kidneys in her body, so of course I still hope she can live.”

“Oh.”

See, sincerity can still be exchanged for sincerity. Just because Mikaela had always been sincere to them since childhood, even though he said he hated Mikaela on the surface, deep down he still hoped that Mikaela would be fine.

Anton suddenly looked at me fixedly.

Looking at his deep and passionate eyes, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I got up to leave, and he suddenly grabbed me.

“Esmeralda, I just wanted to ask you one last question.”

“What?”

“No matter what, you couldn’t be with me anymore? Even if… you remember that memory from our youth?”

“Yes!” I answered firmly.

Anton suddenly smiled, a touch of relief flashing between his eyebrows.

“Okay, I understand.”

He finished speaking and let go of my hand.

“I want to leave here.”

I was taken aback. “Where are you going? When are you leaving?”

“Let’s travel around the world; there is nothing worth reminiscing about in this city anymore.”

Before, Ronan had already gone to my father’s grave to kowtow and apologize. Winston ended up in such a situation; he can be considered to have received his comeuppance. And now, Mikaela’s condition has worsened, and her life is coming to an end.

So that’s it, the Palmer family’s revenge has been settled, and there is no reason to stay here any longer.

I opened my mouth, wanting to say something, but then I didn’t know what to say.

Anton smiled at me and said, “Speaking of which, the time we spent together when we were young here was happier, but you have forgotten it.”

“I tried to make you remember, but found it futile. Perhaps, that’s fate.”

I pursed my lips, feeling a bit uncomfortable in my heart.

He said, “I might be leaving in a few days, Esmeralda. Goodbye.”

“How is Kimberly’s illness? You study medicine, isn’t it to cure her illness?”

Anton lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“In this world, many cruel facts are actually unchangeable.” Birth, aging, illness, and death are the norms of this world. I had tried to delve into those diseases, such as Kimberly’s heart disease, such as Mikaela’s kidney disease, but ultimately to no avail. What must be transplanted will always be transplanted. Human abilities are limited, and trying to change established facts will only be in vain.

I don’t know if it was the bleak winter or too many recent bad things happening. Listening to Anton’s words, a sense of indescribable sadness and powerlessness surged in my heart.

Anton didn’t say anything more and turned away.

I stared blankly at his lonely figure, my eyes suddenly feeling a bit sour.

For a long time, until his figure disappeared at the hospital entrance, I turned around, but I was stunned.

Reynaldo was standing not far behind me.

Afraid of any misunderstanding, I hurried over and told him, “Just now, Anton came to see Mom and said goodbye to me.”

Reynaldo smiled at me. He brushed the hair from my face and smiled, saying, “Don’t be so nervous; I’m not angry.”

I breathed a sigh of relief and held his hand tightly.

“Mom should have already gone to bed by now; I just came from her room.”

“Hmm.”

Reynaldo held my hand and led me around the yard.
