Chapter 90 âGrace, did you like the performance?â
Despite having a face full of smiles, Rhett was bashful around his beloved. Grace grabbed his hand and ran away from the crowd after sensing the intense gazes of those around her. When Rhett saw Graceâs hand, his heart pounded with excitement.
He smiled, holding her hand.
Grace led him to the beach, where many people were feeding sea pigeons.
She looked at the blue ocean, gradually calming down. She grinned and told Rhett, âYou played really well. I really enjoyed it.
They were bathed in the warm sunshine. Rhett was captivated, with deep affection flowing in his eyes.
âGrace, I should say I love you.â
Graceâs heart skipped a beat. She silently stared at Rhettâs face for a while. Following this day, their relationship underwent a minor shift. Grace no longer resisted Rhett.
Even her colleagues teased her, âYour suitor is here.â
Grace looked over and saw Rhett standing outside the hospital, raising his hand and smiling to greet her. She was amused by his action.
She put aside her work and walk again?â
to him. âWhy did you come over Rhett grinned, but there was a hint of sadness on his face. âGrace, you are busy every day. I can only invite you out once every half a month.â
Grace looked at him, who had an aggrieved look.
âIâm sorry about that. Iâll treat you to dinner.â
Rhett immediately beamed with smiles and left with Grace.
Although Grace thought that he was sadfishing, she couldnât help but smile at Rhettâs excited look. After they got out of the car, Rhett led her through the old streets and alleys.
âThese structures date back a century and have been preserved to this day.â
Grace was fascinated as she gazed down the alley, which seemed to have a historical feel to it. Rhett took out a necklace, put it around Graceâs neck, and said, âI prayed to the deity for this necklace; it will keep you safe.â
Grace lifted the necklace and looked at it, her heart racing. âI like it very much. Thank you.â
At that moment, Grace received a call from the hospital requesting her to administer urgent treatment to a patient in need.
Grace smiled apologetically at Rhett. âI need to go treat a patient in the hospital.â
Rhett wasnât upset. He drove her back to the hospital.. âGo ahead.â
Grace put on a white coat and waved goodbye to him. The colleague walking with her said, âThis patient is a mob boss. We have to be careful.â
Grace stiffened briefly before relaxing up.
She would handle him like any other patient; being too nervous wouldnât do any good. When Grace put on the gloves and disinfected him, the mob boss let out a painful cry.
His men rushed in with knives in an instant.
11 18 Chapter 90 11 All of the doctors present were shocked, halting their activities. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
One gangster said fiercely, âIf you donât cure my boss, you will die!â
Grace felt a jot at the silverâglowing knives.
Rhett then walked in. He leaned against the door frame and looked at these gangsters coldly. âKolton, do you know who I am?â
The gangster boss lying on the hospital bed forced himself to open hist eyes and look over. Upon seeing Rhett, he broke out in a cold sweat, his face instantly losing its bloody hue in terror.
Based on Koltonâs reaction, Rhett knew that Kolton had recognized him. He raised a finger. âOne count. Get out!â
Kolton instantly said with a hoarse voice, âAll of you, get out! And put away your knives!â
Koltonâs men didnât know Rhett, but they promptly obeyed their bossâs orders and left in a swarm. Rhett waited until it was quiet inside, smiled at Grace, and left.
Grace was distracted by his smile. She then collected.her thoughts and focused on the operation. By the time she was done, it was getting dark.
When she returned to the office, she found Rhett dozing off on his forehead. She carefully covered him with a blanket.
Rhett suddenly held her hand and opened his eyes. Grace met his gaze. After a while, she said, âRhett, I think Iâm in love with you.â
Rhett chuckled and clasped his fingers with hers.
âGrace, I love you.â
Grace was awakened by the dazzling sunlight.
She met Rhettâs smiling cycs.
Grace couldnât help pinching his face. So many years had passed, but he didnât age at all. He remained the same as when they first met.
Her pinching caused Rhett to grimace. He was compelled to lift his hand and take hers.
âGrace, whatâs wrong? You kept calling me by my name last night; it was really beautiful.â
The tender feeling inside disappeared instantly. She slapped Rhett on the forehead. âStop talking nonsense. Get up. I have a major operation to perform today.â
Rhett knew that it was about Graceâs illness. He didnât argue and intended. to stay with Colin at home. But Colin insisted on going to the hospital after learning that Grace was having the surgery.
Colin pulled at Rhettâs trouser legs and begged, âDad, thatâs my godmother. I want her to see me the first thing when she wakes up!â
Colin bothered him so much that Rhett had to nod in agreement. âOkay, I will take you there.â
Colin immediately let go of his hand and laughed.
Rhett shook his head frustratedly. Colin was like him when he was a child.
After Grace arrived at the hospital, she greeted Andrew and entered the operating room.
Everything was ready. Grace took a deep breath as she looked at Grace, who was breathing weakly. The operation was in progress.
Chap 40 Rhett brought Colin to the hospital. Andrew stood at the door and saw Rhett, but his tense face did not soften.
