Chapter 866:
That night, sleep never came.
By morning, deep shadows framed her eyes, evidence of her restless mind. She layered on foundation and
blended out the dark circles with eyeshadow, forcing herself to look as composed as possible.
Alban had already arranged everything. Once breakfast was done, they could leave.
Recalling how Allan had struggled with his fork the night before, Rachel quietly swapped out the silverware,
placing lighter ones instead—anything to make things easier for him.
As they ate, she hesitated before voicing a question that had been weighing on her.
“Allan, does Lizzie know about your condition?”
Allan’s hand stilled mid-motion, his spoon hovering over his plate. His expression darkened, layered with
emotions too tangled to decipher.

right moment... but | never do.”
“Letdo it!” Rachel volunteered without hesitation. “I'll be the one to tell her. Call her over now. If | were in
Lizzie's shoes, I'd want to be there for my brother, especially when he’s struggling. I'd want to make him smile,
to bring him even a little comfort.”
“Little happiness. When Jeffrey passed, | wasn’t there. It’s the biggest regret of my life. | don’t want Lizzie to live

Allan met her gaze for a long moment before nodding. “Alright. I'll leave it to you.”
Rachel made the call, and within half an hour, Lizzie arrived.
The rich, savory aroma of breakfast filled the air as she stepped inside. Spotting the spread on the table, her
face lit up.
With her usual directness, she made a beeline for the food, snatching a crispy strip of bacon. She popped it into
her mouth, chewing happily. “Hmm, your bacon’s still the best, Allan!”
Halfway through, she suddenly paused, her eyes narrowing at the plastic spoons Allan and Rachel were using
instead of silver forks.
“Wait a second.” She frowned. “Why are you both using plastic spoons? What happened to the silver ones?”

Rachel’s voice was calm but firm. “Lizzie, finish your breakfast first. There's something important we need to talk
about.”
Ten minutes later, Lizzie finished her food, curiosity shining in her eyes. Rachel inhaled deeply before speaking
with quiet seriousness.
“Lizzie, what I’m about to say is important. | need you to listen carefully.”
