"Chloe, I know. You must be in so much pain right now. And I know the two of you have been together for five years. Such a long time—breaking up must be incredibly hard."
"If it hurts, then just cry. Cry your heart out. Let all the pain, all the reluctance, all the sadness out. Once you let it out, it will feel better."
Emily Sterling finished speaking and pulled Chloe Simpson into her arms, gently patting her back.
"Wah... ah... wah…"
Chloe finally couldn't hold back anymore and broke down into hysterical sobs in Emily's arms.
"It's okay, sweetheart. You might feel like your pain is unbearable now, but it will pass. Time is the greatest remedy—it heals everything."
Emily continued to stroke Chloe's head, comforting her.
No one knew how long Chloe cried, but she cried until her voice was hoarse, unable to make any sound, before she finally stopped.
"Chloe, stay over tonight and sleep with Mom. It's been a long time since you've shared the bed with me."
