His cold voice murmured. He wanted more of her. He wanted her to get rid of the fear that remained in his heart.
Even though she was alive and well before him, did she know how scored he was earlier? The scene of her nearly falling from the building kept recurring to him!
Fortunately, he had caught her!
Fortunately, he pulled her back into his arms!
Furthermore, she was safe!
âGraceâ¦â he uttered hoarsely. It was as though her name had branded into his bones. It was a name forever engraved in his memoryâ¦
He swept her damp bangs aside with his fingers and kissed her forehead. âNo one can hurt you nor kill you. I wonât allow it.â
He carried her lovingly into the bathroom as he spoke.
He washed her body gently. She was still asleep, and her pretty face seemed so delicate under the bathroomâs soft Chapter 1698 lights.
âGrace, Iâm yours too,â he mumbled as he gently dried her body and carried her back to bed.
She slept soundly, but he was not yet sleepy.
From time to time, the scene of her almost falling from the building kept recurring to him.
The pain in his heart was very familiar. It was as if he had almost lost her in the same way.
It felt as though she was once right in front of him but he could not catch her no matter what!
âWhen exactly? Why canât I remember?
âOr⦠is it something from the memories I lost? They all said she had fallen into the sea and it was an accident.
âDid she fall into the sea to get away from me? Was it because she didnât want to be with me?â
Jason looked down at the sleeping face of the person beside him and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers.
Just then, Grace frowned slightly and mumbled something as though she was talking in her dream.
He tried to hear what she was saying, but her voice was so soft that he could only make out the word âJoyâ after listening for a while.
âIs she dreaming about me?â Jasonâs eyes darkened. Her eyebrows furrowed more and more. Her head shook left and right, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. She looked like she was trying to get rid of a nightmare.
âIs she⦠having a nightmare? And is this nightmare about me?â
Jasonâs hands grabbed Graceâs shoulders.
Suddenly, her voice became louder and he could hear what she was saying. However, his heart sank when he heard it.
What she said was⦠âNo, Jay. I wonât let you do that⦠No⦠I wonât forgive you. Noâ¦â
âWhat⦠did I do that she wonât forgive me?â
He only felt his heart sinking, and he exerted more force in his fingers that were pressing on her shoulders.
âAh!â The pain in Graceâs shoulders woke her up.
