Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 727:

Brian pulled out his wallet and handed the couple $1,000. He explained, “My girlfriend just left in the taxi ahead after an argument, and she’s furious with me. I need to catch up with her before things get worse. Please, I’d really appreciate your help.”

Hearing this, the woman in the car let her guard down and accepted the money.

Beaming with joy, the couple stepped out, hand in hand. Before leaving, they thanked Brian several times, clearly pleased with the unexpected windfall.

Brian, in turn, turned to the driver and was just as generous. “Sir, I’ll offer you $1,000 too. Can you catch up to the taxi ahead?”

The driver grinned with confidence. “Of course, I can. Don’t worry.”

Although the brief negotiation had cost him some time, the driver was skilled, and within minutes, they had caught up.

After about half an hour, Rachel finally stepped out of her taxi. Not wanting to intrude, Brian followed from a respectful distance. As she walked a short way, she suddenly veered into a shaded spot and crouched down.

At first, he wasn’t sure what she was doing—until he heard her soft, coaxing voice. “Kitty, kitty.”

A moment later, a soft meow echoed back.

Then, out of the shadows, a small white kitten bounded toward her. And it wasn’t alone. More kittens soon followed, their tiny paws pattering against the pavement as they eagerly surrounded her. Rachel’s face lit up with joy. “Look what I brought for you today,” she said warmly, reaching into her bag.

With practiced ease, she pulled out collapsible bowls, filled them with cat food, and set out fresh water.

The kittens wasted no time diving into their meal with excited little meows.

Watching her, Brian realized she must have been feeding these strays for a while now. She moved with such familiarity, like it was part of her routine.

He didn’t call out to her or try to get her attention. Instead, he simply stood there, watching quietly, letting her have this moment of peace. With the kittens, she seemed different—lighter, freer, happier. It had been a long time since he’d seen her like this.

It was a rare glimpse of her unguarded happiness, and he wished time would slow down, letting this moment stretch on forever.

But the peaceful moment was soon interrupted by a burst of excited chatter. “Oh my gosh! Look at those adorable white kittens. Someone’s feeding them—let’s go see!”

A group of college girls dashed past Brian, drawn in by the kittens.

Their delighted voices instantly caught Rachel’s attention.

She lifted her head, and her eyes met Brian’s, standing just a short distance away.

Rachel gave Brian a quick glance before focusing back on the kittens. The college girls’ arrival made the place lively, filling the air with laughter and conversation.
