It wasn't that he disapproved of Bryant's relationship with Margaret because he found her too cunning, but it felt utterly different today.

The memory of the medical report I stumbled upon in the study earlier that day flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of empathy. "Okay." The atmosphere in the Ferguson Mansion was heavy, missing only Timothy, but his absence made the house feel eerily empty that night.
After a hot shower, I returned to the bedroom to find Bryant missing. Later, as I was drifting off, someone snuggled up behind me, and without turning around, I knew it him. For sreason, every move Bryant made tonight seemed laced with sadness.
"Are you asleep?” his forehead pressed lightly against my head, his voice low.
I didn't respond, staying still, and then I heard his voice, filled with defeat. "Jane, I must have disappointed Grandpa by not being there for him at the end." I didn't know what to say as Margaret's terrible lies and acting cto mind, and Bryant believed them. His voice was hoarse, "Did Grandpa blme?"

I abruptly sat up, turning on the light, ready to lash out, but then saw his eyes red tears welling up. At that moment, all my anger crumbled.
Taking a deep breath, I tried to remain calm. "If you're doing this because of Timothy its unnecessary. He never mentioned this before he passed." He insisted, "Grandpa toldearlier today that the Mrs. Ferguson of the Ferguson fardily can only be you."
"And what if," I stood by the bed, looking down at him, "Timothy hadn't passed away todayXWould you still remember his words? Or would you do it if Timothy wanted you to end it with Margaret?" Bryant looked away, not answering, firm in his decision, "Regardless, we can't divorce." "Are you informing me?" I was stunned and surprised by his statement.
