I realized I remembered every little thing from the past six months clearly.
"Joyce, it's over."
…
Joyce wanted to say something else, but Grayson, who had rushed over, grabbed her arm.
He coughed weakly several times, and Joyce immediately shifted her gaze from me to him.
Even though I expected it in my heart, I still felt heartbroken when I saw her choose Grayson without hesitation.
I moved aside and carefully placed the little black snake in a plastic bag, planning to dig a hole in the backyard to bury it.
As I passed them, Grayson suddenly started coughing violently, his face turning pale.
Joyce hurriedly handed a handkerchief to him, gently patting his back.
Once his coughing subsided, Grayson casually glanced at the bag in my hand before turning away.
Joyce, always observant, picked up on this and quickly asked.
"Grayson, what's wrong?"
Grayson opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped, shaking his head regretfully.
"Nothing. I just suddenly remembered the doctor told me to take good care of my health, or I would suffer later.
"Unfortunately, I haven't found any decent supplements in over half a month…"
My previously calmed anger flared up again with his words.
