Chapter 680

She pressed the phone screen gently against her cheek, her voice trembling as she spoke, word by word. “Aurora, do you know… it was the first time I’d ever seen that little cat.

“I only met it at the mouth of the alley. I fed it a treat, sat with it for a little while–that’s all.

“It was so sweet, so incredibly sweet. Its fur was soft, and it kept rubbing up against: moment… would end up being its whole life.”

Little Aurora stayed quiet, listening intently to every word Megan said.

She knew that what Megan needed most right now was someone to listen.

She didn’t need advice and explanations—just silent, steady presence.

Megan didn’t need grand gestures.

She just needed to feel that someone was still there with her.

And right now, little Aurora was the perfect person for that.

She didn’t say anything more, only focused on comforting Megan with her calm.

Megan was completely worn out, body and soul.

What she needed now wasn’t words–it was silence.

And silence was what she gave her.

Standing to the side, Aurora watched the two of them clinging to each other, feeling something stir deep inside her.

There was a reason their bond had lasted so many years.

Megan had always matched her wavelength.

The two of them had grown up side by side, always together, never once thinking about drifting apart.

Their friendship, in truth, was even stronger than what existed between Tessa and Grace.

Their families had been close for years.

Knowing the girls got along so well, the parents had always arranged for them to attend the same schools.

They were practically tied together from childhood.

That was why their connection ran so deep and they understood each other without needing to speak.

After a long while, Megan finally looked up at little Aurora.

She asked in confusion, “Aurora, what made you want to help that little cat? You even found a place to bury it?”

The moment Megan said the word “bury,” her chest tightened again.

Just not long ago, it had still been a living, breathing creature.

And because of her, that little cat ended up like this.

Little Aurora wasn’t sure how to answer her question.

The truth was, she didn’t really know herself.

She had been ready to leave, but when she caught sight of the cat curled up in the corner, something in her chest suddenly dropped.

It just felt off.

She had never felt anything like that before.

Aurora had never hidden things from Megan.

She always told her what was really going on inside.

“To be honest, I didn’t even notice the cat at first.”

Hearing that, Megan’s heart sank a little, but when she looked at the photo again in her hands, it eased some of the pain.

No matter what, the ending had been a good one.

Little Aurora continued, “But then out of nowhere, my chest just clenched. Like, if I didn’t do something for that cat, I’d feel wrong about it, like a splinter stuck in my heart.”

Megan tilted her head, puzzled by the feeling.

“You think… maybe we’re just that connected?”

She looked at Aurora with a quiet seriousness.

Seeing her so sincere, little Aurora reached over and tousled her hair. “Yeah, maybe that’s exactly what it is. We’re just that in

sync.

“Don’t worry, that little cat’s gonna have a better life next time. Even in heaven, it got to taste treats and canned food. It definitely didn’t leave this world with an empty belly.”
