Chapter 792: 792: Olivia Jenkins Has a Poor Appetite
He Clings to Me Every Night
Daniel Marshall prepared a bowl of porridge for Grace Ziegler.
Hesitant for a moment, Daniel Marshall apologized to Grace, âIâm sorry! Itâs my fault you ended up like this, I hope you wonât call the police, I will compensate you.â
Grace Ziegler hadnât started eating the porridge yet. She was startled for a while, looking at Daniel Marshall, âChief Daniel Marshall, you donât need to apologize to me. Youâve already done a lot for me. Maybe, I really am annoying.â
âThe person who harmed you was my grandfather. For my sake, we should keep this private. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I dragged you into this,â
Grace Ziegler gently shook her head, âChief Daniel Marshall, donât worry, I wonât report this to the police. You donât have to compensate me, itâs all my own fault. I understand that your grandfather cares for you and doesnât like me, you shouldnât blame yourself. As for this incident, Iâll forget about it and never mention it again. Iâm sorry, Iâve brought you trouble as well.â
Grace Ziegler was sensible and did not call the police to pursue responsibilities. Daniel Marshall was filled with guilt.
Even if Grace Ziegler was ambitious and manipulative, it was still wrong to deliberately harm her. His grandfather was indeed wrong, imposing presence didnât solve all problems.
Daniel Marshall decided to stay and take care of Grace Ziegler, not only because he was worried about her, but also to resolve this issue.
If they started to trace responsibilities, his grandpa would definitely be involved. He seemed dominant and had intimidated Grace, but from a legal perspective, his grandfatherâs behavior was not right, he had to take responsibility for his mistakes.
If his mother learned that Grace Ziegler had gone deaf, his mother would be sad. Daniel Marshall couldnât abandon his mother and sister. He didnât want to shift more of the harm onto his mother, he wanted to protect them.
Seeing his sister hurt, Daniel Marshall couldnât stand it either. He assured her, âDonât worry, no matter how much money it takes, Iâll cure you.â
Grace Ziegler didnât respond, she just ate her porridge.
However, Grace Zieglerâs sorrow was silently manifested in the tears that fell from her eyes.
She was so young but she couldnât hear anymore, it would affect her normal life in the future. Although she had achieved what she wanted, the price she had paid was something she couldnât accept.
She was heartbroken. She couldnât hold back her tears. She was bothered by the fact that she had become deaf.
Daniel Marshall was also in pain.
He took a few tissues, gently wiped Grace Zieglerâs tears, and comforted her in a soft voice, âDonât worry, you still have me. I will take great care of you. This is my responsibility. I promise you, your future will be smooth and worry-free.â
Grace Ziegler nodded and continued to eat her porridge.
Perhaps, only when her ambition was fulfilled could her injured body be comforted.
Only by moving towards this goal could the gains and losses in her life be balanced a little bit.

When Grace Ziegler felt better, she called her mother to reassure her.
Knowing that her daughter was alright and had only fallen asleep early last night with her phone on silent, Ella Charles felt relieved and didnât think too much of it.
To improve Grace Zieglerâs mood, Daniel Marshall went to a nearby supermarket to buy her strawberries, as well as some snacks she wanted to eat.
Olivia Jenkins came back from the robot base, passing by the supermarket near ResilientCare Hospital.
Remembering that she was out of her favourite snacks, Olivia Jenkins also went to the supermarket.
Lately, Olivia Jenkins hadnât had a very good appetite. Instead, she preferred snacking, especially beef jerky. Chewing on it while working felt very satisfying to her.@@novelbin@@
Just as Olivia Jenkins had picked a few packets of dried beef jerky and was about to head to the fruit section, she saw Daniel Marshall.
