Grace shook her head. âIt doesnât hurt anymore. Iâm sorry I made you worried again.â She raised her hand and caressed Jasonâs cheek.
Jason gently rubbed Graceâs palm. âAs long as youâre okay. As long as youâre okayâ¦â
Who would have thought that the famous Young master Reed would behave like an insecure child in front of the woman he loved?
Grace was sent into the ward. Perhaps she was tired from the commotion earlier as she soon fell asleep.
Jason said to Kyla and Valda Theller, âThank you for today.â
Valda Theller waved her hands and said, âItâs nothing as long as Grace and the baby are safe.â
Kyla said, âIâm sorry. I caused this to happen to Grace. They were after me, but they frightened Grace.â
âAlright, let me send you back. Iâll take care of Grace,â said Jason as he sent Kyla and Valda Theller out of the ward.
Just then, hurried footsteps grew louder. Brian had arrived.
His handsome face was full of worry, and his hair was slightly untidy from running.
âHowâs Grace?â Brian asked in a panic.
Jason raised an eyebrow and said, âHow Graceâs doing is what I as her husband should worry about.â
âYouâ¦â Brian frowned as he glared at him. âI asked you how Grace is doing.â
âSheâs⦠Sheâs okay,â Valda Theller said as she hurried forward, not wanting things to get too awkward. âSeveral people gathered around us while we were eating and it frightened her. Itâs why her belly ached.â
âSeveral people gathered around?â Brian froze and said without thinking much, âSince you were dining together, why didnât you help block the others when they gathered around her? Donât you know sheâs pregnant? Donât you know sheââ
âThatâs enough, Brian!â Kyla darted forward. âWhat happened today is all my fault. It happened because of me. Grace wouldâve been worse off if it werenât for Valda. You can blame me if you want. Donât blame Valda!â
âIt⦠Itâs alright. Heâs not wrong. If I had paid more attention, Grace might not have been so frightened that she had to be hospitalized,â said Valda Theller. However, she felt the urge to cry when she said that. Even her eyes gradually watered.
âValda!â
Kyla would like to say more, but Valda Theller interrupted and said, âI⦠I must go now.â With that said, she hurried toward the elevator.
Kyla glared at Brian. âEven if youâre worried about Grace, you shouldnât blame Valda like this. Since youâre her boyfriend, you should know what sheâs like! Grace kept gripping Valdaâs wrist when we were on the way to the hospital today. Valdaâs wrist was scratched until it bled, but she didnât say a word and even said it was okay. Instead of worrying about her, you accused her as soon as you came. Brian, is this how you behave as a boyfriend?â
Kylaâs accusation shocked Brian, and embarrassment flashed across his face.
The place instantly turned silent.
Jason ordered the bodyguards nearby to send Kyla away first before turning to look at Brian. He said, âValda Thellerâs a good woman.â
âI know.â Brian pressed his thin lips together.
âBut you donât love her, do you?â said Jason.
