Adam watched the car disappear from his sight. His heartbreaking cry dissipated in the wind.
All of this made no sense to him.
Something must have happened three days ago in the nursing home.
Tina was not surprised by his presence.
"Tina, Tracye left this morning. She said she had to leave. What's going on?" Adam asked nervously.
"That's all she told you?" Tina couldn't bear to bring the truth to him.
"Yes, she said she had made up her mind. But about what?" Adam was on edge.
Tina squeezed her eyes shut. She'd thought Tracey would have told him by herself.
Tina asked him to sit down and told him the whole story.
Adam flared up after he heard her out. "So, you mean that in order to take over her family, she has to get injected with that f*cking FT2? She chooses to completely forget our past?"
"Adam, Tracey has no choice. It's the rule of our family."
"Things were not as bad as you think. She has made a deal with the family that if she falls in love with you again after the injection and you're still in love with her, no one will stand against you anymore."
"She wants to rewrite the rules."
"Her aim is to remove all barriers between you once and for all."
Tine had chosen to escape the rules.
But Tracey was about to challenge it and shatter it.
"How could she put our love at stake? What if she forgets me and falls in love with someone else?" Adam said furiously.
No wonder she had nightmares in the past few nights. She'd been in agony.
"Adam, I'm her mother. I don't want this for her either."
"But you know her. She's the kind that will place all burdens on herself."
"I tried to talk her out of this, but she insisted and I couldn't help her with anything given my poor health."
"I'm sorry that I failed to protect her. You two deserve a peaceful life." Tina said.
