Chapter 360:


    Aron’s plea seemed to stir something in Doris. She paused, her fingers tightening as she slowly turned to face them. Her eyes shimmered with tears, her voice trembling as she whispered, “You’ve already informed him—has he shown up yet? No. He’s about to get married, and his whole world revolves around Rachel now. There seems to be no ce for me in his heart anymore.”


    The moment the words left Doris’s lips, herposure crumbled. Tears cascaded down her face, each one a testament to the profound sorrow tearing her apart.


    Debby stepped closer, her voice urgent yet firm. “Don’t think that way, Doris. Brian isn’t heartless; he would never turn his back on you. It’s Rachel who’s clouding his judgment. She’s the one pulling the strings. Don’t let her deceive you.”


    Aron joined in, his tone calm but earnest. “Doris, you’ve always been precious to Brian. He would never walk away from you. You have to hold onto that.”


    “Is that true?” Doris asked, her voice fragile, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.


    “Of course,” Aron reassured her, his words steady. “He’s probably stuck in traffic. You know how unpredictable it can be.”


    Debby, however, wasn’t convinced. She shot Aron a sharp re, her frustration bubbling over. “How can you still make excuses for Rachel Marsh at a time like this? She probably found out about Doris’s misery and deliberately kept Brian away. This is exactly the kind of scheming she’s capable of.”


    Aron exhaled deeply, his voice tinged with exhaustion. “Debby, Rachel is about to join our family. You need to let go of these negative thoughts about her.”


    “They haven’t even finalized the marriage yet,” Debby retorted, her tone biting. “And when I ran into her at the hospital, she didn’t show an ounce of concern for Doris. Instead, she was outright disrespectful to me.”


    “If you met her at the hospital, she must not have been feeling well. It’s right for Brian to visit her.”


    This exnation, however, sparked a dispute between Aron and Debby. In the midst of their argument, Doris felt a growing turmoil within her. While Aron’s care for her was apparent, his readiness to ept Rachel into the family wounded her. Doris believed she should be the sole recipient of the White family’s love and attention. The idea of sharing that affection with Rachel was something she foundpletely uneptable. She resolved internally that this was a situation she could not and would note to terms with.


    “Please don’t argue,” Doris murmured, her voice fragile but sincere. “Brian will always mean the world to me. Whatever he chooses, I’ll never resent him. I’m just sorry… sorry for failing you both.”


    As she spoke, her hands slipped away from the ledge, her body tilting perilously toward the open window.


    ?????????????? ???????????? ????: g????????ν??????﹒?????


    Debby’s eyes widened in horror, her mouth agape as if to scream, but Aron acted swiftly, covering her mouth with his hand. “Debby, keep quiet for now. Stay put. I’m going over,” he whispered urgently, his voice barely audible as he steeled himself to sprint toward Doris and pull her to safety.


    However, at that critical moment, the door to the hospital room swung open unexpectedly. Brian burst in, his expression fraught with concern. Spotting Doris on the window ledge, with most of her body dangling perilously outside, he cried out in rm, “Doris, pleasee down from there. Don’t do this.”


    Doris’s eyes shimmered with tears as Brian entered, her voice trembling with mixed emotions. “Brian… you finally came. I was afraid you’d forgotten me, that you no longer cared about me.”


    Rushing to her side, Brian’s tone was urgent and soothing. “Doris, you’re my family; how could I ever stop caring? Please, get down from there carefully.”
