Chapter: 156
Together, they made their way to Cesar’s room.
With a pale face, Cesar sat upright on his bed.
Rushing to his side, Sabrina gripped his hand. “Grandpa, you’re finally awake. I was so worried.”
“What’s wrong with your head, Sabrina? How did you injure yourself? Is it serious?” Cesar’s voice was barely more than a
whisper as he studied Sabrina’s head.
Despite his illness, Cesar was more worried about Sabrina’s injury.
This made her heart constrict, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
“Sabrina, are you okay? Are you in pain?” Concern was evident in Cesar’s voice as he watched her struggle with her emotions.
Quickly, Sabrina shook her head, forcing a small smile. lo need for worry, Grandpa. It’s not severe, and I don’t feel any pain.”
“Caring for your health is vital, Sabrina. I didn’t, and now my time is running out,” Cesar murmured, his voice feeble.
“Please, Grandpa, don’t talk like that. You’ll recover and live many more years.” Sabrina’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as
she pleaded with him.
“Crying won’t help, Sabrina.” Cesar softly wiped the tears trickling down her cheeks.
“I won’t cry as long as you remain healthy.” Sabrina’s voice quivered with suppressed sobs.
“Remember, Sabrina, everyone has their time. I’m prepared for mine, and I hope you can come to accept it too. Alright?”
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Sabrina collapsed in a flood of tears onto the quilt.
She understood that every individual would eventually experience their final day on Earth. The thought of losing Cesar, just like
she had lost other family members, was unbearable.
The thought of Cesar’s imminent departure was difficult for her to come to terms with. How could she accept the fact that he
would soon be leaving her as well?

“Good girl, no need to cry,” Cesar reassured her, patting her head in a comforting manner.
Tyrone stepped in, helping her up and whispering, “Don’t cry, Sabrina.
Grandpa is okay, right?”
Wiping away her tears with her sleeve, Sabrina forced a smile. “Yes, Grandpa is okay. I shouldn’t be crying, I should be smiling.”
Tyrone looked at her strained smile and gently wiped away a stray tear from her face.
“Sabrina, Tyrone, we are all here together. Tell me, were you planning on getting a divorce? If my health had been better, would it
have happened already?”
Cesar’s question caught them both by surprise.
“Sabrina, Tyrone, I may be old, but I’m not oblivious. I understand what’s going on.”
