âPerhaps I had a change of taste. I quite like sweet things recently.â The sweeter, the better. Even she was surprised.
âYou can eat sweet things if you like them, but there has to be a limit. Just donât make yourself uncomfortable.â Jason reminded her.
She was the only one who could make him behave like a nagging old lady.
âOkay, got it,â replied Grace, feeling like he was spoiling her as though she was a child. âBy the way, Iâll stay here for a while longer to handle Amber Mitchellâs offairs. Iâm not sure when itâll be over. Why donât you take the kids back first? They have to attend kindergarten. Besides, itâs inconvenient for you to keep having video conferences in Deer City.â
Jason looked at the person in front of him. Moments later, he smiled gently. âOkay, Iâll help you take care of some things here first. Iâll take our two children back to Emerald City in a few days.â
The two got into the car. Grace was a little tired. She leaned on Jasonâs shoulder and soon fell asleep.
Jason stared blankly at the face of the sleeping woman in his arms. He raised his fingers and carefully touched the bangs across her forehead.
If it were before, he would never let her stay in Deer City while he returned to Emerald City with the children if Brian was still there.
However, he was willing to agree and return to Emerald City first.
Was it trust? Was it because he believed she loved him and not Brian?
He had always been jealous of the possibility that Brian would occupy a place in her heart because of their shared childhood memories. Brian had also saved Grace and helped her a lot.
Even so, her feelings for Brian had never been romantic.
âGrace, I trust you, so make me trust you more, okay?â he murmured.
He was slowly learning to trust and let go of that insecurity, but⦠everything needed timeâ¦
The next day, Kyla was sent back to Emerald City by onowance we stresing or wonder thehen She emembered I come THE OU SUE Your murst serious?â said somewher waredw Morin Wess asked indifferent âDo voL er my injury to be serious?
She quiddy said. âNo mors not what I meant. I justâ¦â She wanted to say that sine was only concerned about him but recalled that he had told her to stop expressing concern for Finally, she bit her lip a little and said, âThank you for protecting me. Iâm sorry you got hurt.â
He stared at her pale face. Perhaps she did not know how ghastly she looked.
He had read the hospital report and knew how bad her liver was doing right now.
It had only been five years. The transplanted liver would never have deteriorated so quickly if she had not gotten pregnant.
Aborting the baby was the best choice, but she chose to take a risk. Was she so confident that he would not let anything happen to her and would willingly donate his liver to her again?
Kyla became somewhat uneasy from Martin Weissâs gaze.
