Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 396:

Overwhelmed, Elsa finally broke down, unable to hold back her emotions any longer.noveldrama

Tears poured down her cheeks.

Rachel passed her a tissue while quietly dabbing at her own tears.

Myrna’s fate was unbearably cruel.

She had grown up in hardship, struggling against the odds.

But in one way, she had been blessed—she had found Huey, a man who had loved her completely, unwaveringly, until the very end. Rachel couldn’t help but think—if given the choice, she would rather die like Myrna.

At least she would take her final breath in the arms of the man who loved her. At least, in those last moments, she would feel his warmth, hear his heartbeat, and know she was cherished. And there would be peace, with no fear or regrets.

But she would never have that.

Huey’s love for Myrna was unwavering and unshakable.

But Brian… Brian didn’t love her.

And that was the biggest difference. A distance she could never bridge. Elsa took a deep breath, regaining a bit of composure, and called out, “Rachel!”

“Yeah?” Rachel snapped out of her thoughts, quickly wiping away the tears lingering at the corners of her eyes.

“Isn’t it a heartbreaking love story?” Elsa murmured, her voice laced with regret. “Back then, I was young and foolish. I destroyed something truly beautiful.”

She hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Huey and Myrna are struggling financially, so I’ve been trying to gather money however I can. The fundraising campaign you saw online is just one way. But there’s something else, something bigger, that I need your help with. Please, promise me you’ll help. If you do, I’ll owe you—I’ll do anything you ask.”

Rachel remained calm despite the turmoil in her heart. “Tell me what it is first, Elsa.”

“Huey has dedicated his life to medicine, working tirelessly as a doctor.

When Myrna fell ill, he sought out every specialist and expert, hoping for a miracle, but the outcome remained the same—she had less than three months left. But… the White Group’s biomedical division has been working with top medical centers, and they’ve just developed a new drug. It’s still in clinical trials, not available to the public yet, but I heard it’s meant for Myrna’s exact condition. Huey wants to join the research team so he can secure the treatment for her. But he’s just one doctor among many, and the competition is brutal. He doesn’t stand a chance on his own. Rachel, I know you’ve been with the White Group for years—you must have connections. I’m begging you, please help him. If you do, I’ll owe you forever.”

Just as she finished speaking, she dropped her gaze, then made a sudden motion to kneel, her face marked with raw desperation.

The sheer sincerity in her expression was undeniable.

Rachel hesitated for a moment, then recalled her connection to the department’s new manager. With a measured nod, she said, “I’ll see what I can do.”

But deep down, she knew the truth—when it came to real influence, no one held more power in this matter than Brian.

If Rachel wanted to help Huey, she had to beg Brian.
