GoodNovelChapter 310: "Of course, ma'am. I'll take care of it right away." "Thank you. Oh—one more thing. If he asks, don't mention me. Just say you noticed and decided to help.” "Understood." "Thanks again." Rachel ended the call and watched from behind the curtain as a security guard approached Brian, umbrella in hand.
Only then did she feel the slightest relief.
With a quiet sigh, she let the curtain fall back into place, returned to bed, and closed her eyes.

A few minutes later, Rachel's phone rang. The caller ID flashed: Security Office.
She answered immediately. The voice on the other end carried a mix of urgency and helplessness. "Ma'am, I did as you asked. I took the umbrella to him, even opened it for him, but..." The guard hesitated before sighing. "He threw it away." Rachel didn't even stop to grab her slippers. She yanked back the curtain, her heart pounding.
There, beneath the streetlight, Brian remained as rigid as ever, his posture unyielding against the storm. A few feet away, the umbrella lay abandoned, battered by the relentless rain.
"I'll try again," the guard offered.
Rachel stayed on the line, watching as the man approached Brian once more, holding the umbrella out like a peace offering. But Brian didn't even glance at it. Instead, he simply shoved it aside, letting it fall back into a puddle, useless.
The guard sighed again, this theavier. "I really tried. But I think he's had too much to drink-his breath reeks of alcohol. And in weather like this? His body won't hold up for long. You should cdown and take him home." Rachel gripped the phone tighter.
The hesitation in her voice didn't go unnoticed. The guard, perhaps sensing the deeper story, continued, "Look, it's obvious you're worried about him. I'm guessing you two are a couple, right? Lovers fight-it happens. No relationship is without its rough patches. But from where I'm standing, it's clear he's trying to make amends. Don't wait until it's too late to realize what you've lost. Just cget him before he passes out in the cold." He didn't know the full truth, yet his words struck a chord.

She had already showered and changed into her pajamas, but there was no tto fuss over appearances. She grabbed a coat, threw it on, snatched an umbrella, and hurried downstairs.
It took her barely three minutes.
Just as she was about to step closer, umbrella in hand, a sleek car pulled up outside the gate.
The license plate caught her eye. Familiar.
Before she could fully place it, the driver's side door swung open and a pair of high heels clicked against the En. pavement.
"Brian!" Tracy's voice rang through the downpour as she ran toward him.
Brian stirred at the sound. The cold gnawed at his skin, his head om unbearably heavy. Every part of him ached.
