On this balmy summer night, Mark made his way to Zoeyâs quarters, winding through the garden corridors.
There, he found Zoey helping Edwin pack, all the while whispering words of guidance.
Joining them, Zoey asked, âDid you manage to calm Cecilia?â
He replied with a gentle smile, âShe has a tender heart.
A few comforting words did the trick.
Cecilia and Edwin share a special bond, which makes this separation even more challenging for her.
â
Zoey slowly settled into her chair, taking a thoughtful sip of her tea.
âCecilia has endured so much,â she remarked, her voice tinged with melancholy.
âYouâve come a long way, Mark.
Itâs a good thing you found your way back, otherwise youâll forever be in her debt.
â
Mark pondered Zoeyâs words.
With each passing year, her age was becoming more evident.
Close to 90, the inevitable was approaching, intensifying Ceciliaâs worries.
Zoey, sensing his thoughts, gave his hand a reassuring pat.
âEdwin has a bright future ahead of him, much like his uncle.
It would be unjust to hold him back just because his grandmother is getting old,â she advised.
Mark nodded in agreement, but Zoey remained silent, lost in contemplation.
After what seemed like hours, she broke the silence.
âIn a few days, take me to Duefron.
Just the two of us.
I want to visit Reinaâs grave; itâs been too Long.
â
Tears threatened to spill from Markâs eyes.
âOf course,â he responded softly.
âOnce I sort a few things out, weâll leave immediately.
Rest assured, Waylen has been

quite considerate and made all the arrangements, and Eloise will check in on her from time to time.
â
Zoeyâs face softened.
âEloise has a heart of gold.
â
The night deepened, and Mark eventually took his leave.
Alone in her room, Zoey reflected on her life.
While fate had robbed her of precious loved ones, it had also graced her with blessings.
To Zoey, Cecilia wasnât just Markâs wife; she was a god-sent gift.
With Markâs once uncertain future now stable and Edwin ready to uphold the Evans legacy, not to mention the delightful presence of Olivia, Zoey felt a sense of completion.
