Chapter 886: 016 Belated Repentance_6

Ryan Parker was truly exasperated by the old man but agreed nonetheless, "Alright, alright, I agree, old man, but let’s talk about this after my wedding and honeymoon, okay?"

"Great, great, as long as you’ve agreed, that’s wonderful." Marcus Parker was overjoyed.

Ryan Parker was quite depressed, which affected the afternoon’s wedding dress photoshoot. His performance was so poor that the shoot, originally planned for two days, was stretched out to three days.

In the midst of his happiness, Marcus Parker remembered that his wife hadn’t come to see their daughter-in-law’s wedding dress photoshoot. It was indeed a bit odd, but when he called people around Ellie Wilton, no one knew where she had gone.

——Dividing Line——

Ellie Wilton arrived at the Peacen Hospital and asked for Vaness Taylor’s ward. Led by a nurse, she reached the door of Vaness Taylor’s ward. The nurse left first, as she had other matters to attend to.

Ellie Wilton felt a bit nervous; she had seen cancer patients before, but this time it was her good friend she was facing, and this made her anxious.

Moreover, they hadn’t contacted each other for many years. Since the fire, she had left, and besides Marcus Parker, she had cut off all ties with everyone in her home country.

So, before pushing the door open, she still felt a wave of nervousness. As Vaness Taylor’s best friend, the fact that she knew nothing about her severe illness made her quite embarrassed.

She took several deep breaths, and Ellie Wilton pushed the door open. She then saw a haggard woman wearing a hat lying in the hospital bed, with a young man sitting beside her, apparently feeding her porridge. The woman was swallowing very slowly, but she looked content.

"Hello, may I ask whom you’re looking for?" The young man stood up and politely inquired of Ellie Wilton.

"I’m looking for Vaness Taylor, I’m her good friend, my name is Ellie Wilton," she introduced herself directly.

The woman on the bed suddenly became agitated, knocking the bowl of porridge in the man’s hand onto the floor. Both were startled by her sudden excitement. Ellie Wilton put down the flowers in her hand and rushed over to check on Vaness Taylor.

When Vaness Taylor turned her head and truly saw Ellie Wilton, she couldn’t believe it. She had thought she would never see Ellie Wilton again in her lifetime. All these years, she hadn’t heard a thing about Ellie and didn’t dare to inquire about anything related to her.

She never expected to see Ellie Wilton here; she thought she would die without ever seeing her again. That previous incident would remain a profound regret in her heart, something she would take to her grave.

And she had no chance in her lifetime to say sorry.

"Seems like Mrs. Taylor recognizes you. I’ll just clean up here and step out." The young man said with a smile, cleansed up the spilled porridge, left proactively, and also closed the door behind them.

Seeing Vaness Taylor so agitated, Ellie Wilton felt emotional too. Looking at Vaness Taylor’s state, she was flooded with feelings, "Vaness, how did you end up like this?"

She had thought that if they ever met again in the future, it would be just like the old times, when they could be happy together, shop together, and have heart-to-heart talks.

Before, they had both endlessly fantasized about their futures, especially about their lives in the later years, which was completely different from now.

How did sickness come to find Vaness, who had always been healthier than she was, and she was the one who fell ill?

"Anna, this is my retribution, you don’t need to pity me," Vaness Taylor shook her head and extended a hand that hardly looked like a hand anymore, with hardly any flesh left, just skin and bones.

Ellie Wilton reached out and tightly held that hand, "Vaness, I..."

She had a lot of good news to share with her, but seeing her present condition, she found it difficult to speak.

"Anna, I’m sorry, so sorry, Anna." Before Ellie Wilton could finish speaking, Vaness Taylor suddenly became emotional again.

"Vaness, don’t talk like that, and don’t get excited. Let’s not dwell on the past anymore, okay? What’s most important now is to take good care of yourself," Ellie Wilton consoled her, knowing that sometimes people in their final moments are haunted by things from their past.

She knew what Vaness Taylor’s dilemma was; she felt responsible for not being there when Ryan Parker died, believing that if she had been there that day, she would have saved him, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
