Her gaze exuded a remarkable clarity.

Korbyn recognized this phenomenon as terminal lucidity. Betty had been waiting all this time for her grandson to return and exchange a few words with him...

True to form, Betty sat upright.

Waylen swiftly approached, squatting before her, clasping her frail hand and tenderly kissing it.

Betty extended her trembling hand to caress his hair.

This cherished grandson held a special place in her heart. He possessed not only good Looks but also an exceptional intellect from a young age.

However, he remained unmarried, and she yearned for a great-grandchild.

Betty's mind remained lucid as she spoke slowly, drawing from her previous conversation with Waylen's mother.

“I was informed by your mother that you've taken an interest in a girl. She mentioned that you intended to introduce her to me... Why haven‘t you brought her along?"

Waylen lifted his head, his gaze gentle as he fixated upon Betty's snow-white hair.

He smiled warmly and responded, "She was caught up with work, and I couldn't get a chance to call her."

A tinge of disappointment marred Betty's countenance.

“You're just deceiving me. I know, I know... How could I be unaware of your temper? You must have upset the girl

With a subtle grin Lingering on his lips, Waylen responded, “Indeed, I may have upset her. Nonetheless, my pursuit continues... I will bring her to you on another occasion, Grandma. I implore you to speak kindly of me."

Betty breathed a sigh of relief and remarked, “It's reassuring to know that you're still pursuing her."

Betty persisted in her inquiries about the girl's characteristics

Concerned that Betty might struggle to hear him, Waylen gently whispered in her ear, “She is a stunning young woman, Grandma. She possesses admirable qualities, although she can be a bit short-tempered at times."

Betty listened intently, her attention fully captured.

As her life dwindled, regret gnawed at Betty's heart. She murmured, "I yearn to Lay my eyes upon her before I depart.”

Inside the room, the female members of the Fowler family wept inconsolably.

Betty's kindness had endeared her to all, making it agonizing for them to witness her final moments. Yet, deep down, everyone knew that this would be their last encounter...

Waylen tenderly caressed Betty's head.
