Jason quickly caught Grace but frowned and grunted.

Grace steadied herself. “Thank you,” she said, but she was momentarily startled when her eyes fell on his hand. It was because the back of his hand was so full of bruises that it was shocking to see.

“What happened to your hand…” she asked blankly, trying to take his hand and get a closer look.

He abruptly withdrew his hand.

She looked up and said, “Show me your hand. What on earth happened? Why are there so many bruises on it…” She trailed off in the middle of her words.

It was only now she saw that his lips were covered with wounds too. His lower lip was injured, and the cut seemed a little deep.

“How did you hurt your lower lip so badly?” Even if he had injured his lip by accident, it would not be this bad.

It was as though he had bit his lip with all his strength. Even Grace could not imagine how painful it must have been.

“I bit my lip by accident when I got up to get something to eat after you fell asleep last night. I also got these bruises when I bumped into something,” he said.

Grace showed a look of suspicion in her eyes. If he had really just bumped into things or bitten his lip, the wounds would not be this serious.

“Show me your hands.” She insisted.

He hesitated for a moment before eventually stretching out his hands.

Grace examined them. Other than the bruises on the back of his hands, there were several cuts in his palms that looked like they were caused by fingernails.

“It only hurt for a little while. I… had already walked out of the bedroom, so I didn’t wake you. I talked to the doctor this morning. There’s not much of a problem. Besides, I haven’t finished my medicine,” he said nonchalantly.

Even so, Grace still looked worried.

“Alright, my injuries are no big deal. They don’t matter,” he said as hesitation flitted through his eyes. “Do you have no memories of why you left me?”

Grace nodded. “Yeah.” It was true. She was only lacking the memories of when she fell into the sea and… After the fall, she woke up in the hospital and became another ‘Grace’, which she also did not remember.

She also wanted to recover all her memories because she wanted to know what happened after falling into the sea. ‘Why was I rescued, and why was only Jasper with me?

‘Where on earth is the third triplet? Are they dead or alive?’

Grace raised her hand and gently touched Jason’s injured lips. “The headache must have been painful yesterday,” she muttered. Otherwise, with his self-control, he would not have left such wounds on his body.

“It’s alright. The pain is gone now,” he said.

“If you ever have a headache again, wake me up even if I’m asleep. Don’t keep me in the dark.” She did not want him to suffer while she slept peacefully, unaware of his pain.

“Jay, I know there’s nothing I can do about your headache, but we’re husband and wife. Since we made a vow when we got our marriage license that we’ll take care of each other when we’re sick, there’s no reason that you should hide your suffering from me.”

His eyes gazed at the person in front of him. The image of her bending over the sink while constantly throwing up with a pale face flashed through his mind. He could not even get close to her at the time.

He and she could now be so close!

‘Did she leave me because she hated me? Did she leave me because she couldn’t accept my advances?’

However, her memories had not fully recovered either. She also had no idea why she left him, so she could say without hesitation that it was not because she did not love him that she left.

‘What if she restores her memories one day? Will she still be able to say the same?’

“Yeah, we’re husband and wife!” he muttered and hugged her hard. “We’re husband and wife. We made a vow, so… you can never abandon me again!”

He could not accept that outcome no matter what!

“What? You’re… not coming? But you agreed to come over for a livestream last time… Hey, Miss Wan. Miss Wan?”

No matter how much Irene Lynch shouted, the person on the other end of the line had hung up.

Irene Lynch slammed her phone on her desk with a grim look on her face. The person surnamed Wan was the daughter of a jeweler in Emerald City. She was more or less a socialite, and her boyfriend was in the entertainment industry, so Miss Wan was considered to have one leg in the entertainment industry.

Irene Lynch remembered how much Miss Wan used to suck up to her. She had always been more than happy to help her as long as she asked her!

She was also delighted to use these socialites to build popularity for her livestream channel. Even after setting up her company, she would ask these socialites to make an appearance in the livestream channels of the influencers working for her.

However, ever since Grace returned to the Reed family, the socialites who used to curry favor with her had all suddenly disappeared. She called them to invite them to make an appearance on her livestream channels but they refused, saying they had something to do.

Even the person surnamed Wan had turned her down. These people simply a**umed that she did not have a chance to join the Reed family anymore, so they were now distancing themselves from her.

Looking at Irene Lynch’s grim face, her a**istant asked cautiously, “Miss Lynch, tonight’s livestream…”

“Go and find a celebrity. Someone a little famous, not some C-lister,” snapped Irene Lynch. She wanted to show others that she could attract more traffic and do even better without these socialites!

She wanted to make those who despised her regret it!

“Yes, I’ll find one right now,” the a**istant said quickly and hurried out of the office.

Irene Lynch returned to her chair, picked up her phone again, and opened the photo album. She tapped on one of the photos.

”

In the photo, Grace was standing elegantly and lavishly beside Jason in her limited edition gown and ruby necklace. She had seen this photo when someone posted it on their Moments yesterday!

‘I had my eye on that gown and ruby necklace first!’ Irene Lynch’s heart was filled with even more hatred when she thought about the ruby necklace!

She had her eye on the ruby necklace back then, but she could not afford it because it was too expensive. Therefore, she had sent some signals to Jason to see if he would buy it for her.

He bought it, but who knew he never had the intention of giving it to her?

Even when she had hinted that she lacked a necklace to match her gown and wanted to borrow it, he still refused her.

He had just stared at her coldly while his delicate black eyes appeared calm. “This necklace isn’t for you.”

Now, the necklace was on Grace!

Did he buy the necklace for Grace, then?

Grace had left for five years, but why did Jason not despise her? He even brought her to the banquet in such a grand manner. It was like telling everyone that Grace was still the rightful mistress of the Reed family.

It also made her situation more difficult! Irene Lynch’s heart was filled with even more hatred as she thought of it!

She did not believe that Grace led an innocent life in the past five years. Otherwise, why did she not come back for five years? She must find something she could use against Grace, so that she could turn the tables around!

Taking a deep breath, Irene Lynch dialed a phone number. “Look someone up for me. I want to know if she’s done anything inappropriate in the last five years!”

It was almost fall. However, Terrence felt like it was still summer. His back and palms were covered with cold sweat. He figured that his face was sweating too.
