Chapter 747


    Garett’s finger paused on the page of his book. After a few seconds, he slowly swiveled his wheelchair


    to face Hailey


    Hailey, what brings you here”


    1 came to see you”


    She moved to sit across from him at his gesture


    They sat in silence, their eyes revealing a longing for a long lost sibling They were both on the verge of


    tears.


    “Garett, how are things in B City?” Hailey was the first to break the silence, her voice full of concern


    “Not bad,” Garrett responded. He closed his book and ced it on the table beside him. Then he


    ordered some tea for Hailey


    “Everyone in B City loves tea Wanna give it a shot?”


    “Sure To Hailey what to drink was secondary Seeing her little brother was what really mattered


    The conversation fell into silence again. All their previous talks revolved around Eleanor. Bringing her


    up now would be inappropriate. Were the three of them destined to drift apart


    forever?

    “How are things with Cedric?‘ Garett asked


    “We broke up” Hailey had a file bag in her purse, unsure of how to return the gift


    What about you? Did you get engaged to Ms. Herman?”


    At that moment, Yilia brought the freshly brewed tea Garett poured some for Hailey.


    1 called off the engagement, Garett simply replied without further exnation. Hailey got his drift. Her


    hand froze as she reached for the teacup.


    “Garett, you didn’t lie to Eleanor just to spare her feelings, did you?*


    Garett poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and smiled at Hailey. Try the tea. Do you like it?”


    He clearly didn’t want to talk about it anymore Wisely, Hailey didn’t press further. She took a sip of her


    tea and shot him a wry smile


    1 remember you used to love strong coffee when you were studying Why the switch to tea?”


    “I used to drink coffee to stay awake, to make every second count. I would read as many books as I


    could in the limited time, thinking it would make me richer. But what true wealth is, I’m still figuring it


    out”


    He leaned back in his wheelchair, holding his teacup, quietly looking at the tea.


    Even someone as exceptional as him could get stuck because of emotional entanglement.


    Hailey didn’t know how to respond. Her heart felt heavy and ufortable


    Perhaps the most pitiful person in the world is Garett


    The woman he had loved had left him. His once-healthy legs were now useless.


    He was alone, sitting in a garden in B City, far away from everyone, possibly spending hundreds of


    days and nights missing the woman in his heart.


    But no one responded to him with the same enthusiasm as before, running towards him without


    hesitation


    Garett had once received Eleanor’s unconditional love And it was because he had experienced it, that


    he found it so regrettable, so hard to let go


    Hailey thought she would have a hard time epting it too. But no one could truly understand Garett’s


    feelings.


    So she didn’t know what to say. She couldn’tfort him, but she couldn’t notfort him either. She


    sat across from him, feeling helplessly lost.


    “Hailey, did youe to return a gift?”


    Garett seemed to sense her difort. He hid his emotions and put on a faint smile, looking at Hailey
