âMrs. Watts, letâs go to the hospital first. You can ask him yourself once your fever is gone,â said Grace.
âOkay⦠Okay, I⦠Iâll ask him myself!â Mrs. Watts mumbled and fell asleep again.
Grace and Old Lawyer Watts glanced at each other before carrying Mrs. Watts out of the apartment.
However, as soon as she left the apartment, the men guarding Mrs. Watts stopped them again.
âYoung Madam, Old Lawyer Watts can leave anytime he wants, but Young master Reed didnât say that Old Lawyer Wattsâs⦠wife could leave!â they said.
âIâm taking my mentorâs wife to the hospital. Get out of the way!â said Grace.
âIâm sorry.â They would not move.
Grace just continued to walk.
âYoung Madam, donât give us a hard time!â they said.
2/4 âYou know as well that Iâm the young madam and the mistress of the Reed family. I want to take her away. If anything happens, Iâll take responsibility. But if you keep blocking me, I wonât let any of you off if anything happens to Mrs. Watts! You can see whether Iâll keep my word!â Grace threatened them.
The men looked at each other and eventually stepped back, allowing Grace and Old Lawyer Watts to leave with Mrs. Watts.
Looking at the threeâs back, one of them quickly called Jasonâs phone number. However, moments later, he put down the phone with a pale face.
âWhatâs the matter? Young master Reedâ¦â
âNo one answered the phone,â he said.
Grace got in the car with Mrs. Watts and Old Lawyer Watts. She said to Old Lawyer Watts, âMentor, Iâll drive you out of town now.â
âWhat?â Old Lawyer Watts was shocked.
âYou need to go back to L City. Iâll send you to Emerald Cityâs freeway, and someone will take you back to L City,â said Grace. At least, her mentor had his own connections in L City, which would make things easier.
âJasonâ¦â
âIâll explain everything to Jay. We shouldnât let Mrs. Wattsâs illness drag on. Besides, even if Jay does report it to the police, you and Mrs. Watts would already be in L. City. You should have a way to let the case be tried in L City,â said Grace. This was the best way she could think of.
Since Jay insisted on having Mrs. Watts pay the price and go to jail, then they should do it in L City where her mentor had more influence!
Hearing this, Old Lawyer Watts sighed. He knew as well that it was best for them to go back to L City now.
âBut if you let us return to L City and Jason finds out, you two willâ¦â Old Lawyer Watts said with a look of guilt.
Grace smiled reassuringly. âIâll try to get Jay to forgive me. Donât worry.â
The car drove toward Emerald Cityâs freeway. Grace knew that she had to hurry up and have her mentor and his wife leave Emerald City before Jay woke up.
It was already four in the morning, and the sky was still dark.
There were hardly any cars on the road, but Grace could not relax even for a moment.
