The pain in his heart was very familiar. It was as if he had almost lost her in the same way.
It felt as though she was once right in front of him but he could not catch her no matter what!
‘When exactly? Why can’t I remember?
‘Or… is it something from the memories I lost? They all said she had fallen into the sea and it was an accident.
‘Did she fall into the sea to get away from me? Was it because she didn’t want to be with me?’
Jason looked down at the sleeping face of the person beside him and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers.
Just then, Grace frowned slightly and mumbled something as though she was talking in her dream.
He tried to hear what she was saying, but her voice was so soft that he could only make out the word ‘Joy’ after listening for a while.
‘Is she dreaming about me?’ Jason’s eyes darkened. Her eyebrows furrowed more and more. Her head shook left and right, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. She looked like she was trying to get rid of a nightmare.
‘Is she… having a nightmare? And is this nightmare about me?”
Jason’s hands grabbed Grace’s shoulders.
Suddenly, her voice became louder and he could hear what she was saying. However, his heart sank when he heard it.
What she said was… “No, Jay. I won’t let you do that… No… I won’t forgive you. No…”
‘What… did I do that she won’t forgive me?’
He only felt his heart sinking, and he exerted more force in his fingers that were pressing on her shoulders.
“Ah!” The pain in Grace’s shoulders woke her up.
When she opened her eyes, there was still panic in them. Upon seeing Joson’s face in front of her, for a moment, she felt as if a lifetime had pa**ed.
“Jay… Jay…” There was a quiver in her voice.
He said, “It’s me. I’m sorry I hurt you.”
She looked at him blankly. Perhaps today’s events had caused her to dream of her falling into the sea. It was at this moment that she realized it was just a dream. Five years had pa**ed since she fell into the sea, but she still found it surreal.
‘Am I really back? Have I really come back to his side?’
She shuddered as she reached out her hand, trying to touch his face. However, she stopped in mid-air and was afraid to touch him. It was as if she was scared that everything was just an illusion.
Jason’s eyelashes quivered a little. He raised his hand and grabbed Grace’s hand, pressing her palm against his cheek. “What’s wrong? Did you have a bad dream?”
She drew a long breath, and a wry smile appeared on her lips “Yes, I had… o bad dream.”
It haunted her like a nightmare, and she would have preferred not to remember it if she could.
“What kind of dream was it?” he asked as he brushed her palm against his cheek. His dark eyes were staring at her the whole time.
Her body stiffened as her eyes flickered with guilt. She looked down and said, “I forgot. It just… felt like a bad dream.”
If she brought it up, she would only trigger him.
“Really?” he whispered. He could see that she was guilty and lying. ‘Does she know her hands go cold when she lies?’
“Your hands are a little cold.”
“Are… Are they?” She tried to pull them back.
However, her hands were still clasped in his, and he rubbed her hands against his palms.
“Let me warm you up.” He looked down as he spoke, huffing at her hands gently as he rubbed them.
The night was cold, and her cold hands gradually warmed up.
“Grace, are you really willing to stay with me?” His voice rang out abruptly.
She was stunned for a moment before saying, “Of course, I am!”
“That’s good.” He looked down.
He only hoped she was sincere, and what she had said in her dream about not forgiving him… ‘What won’t she forgive me for?’
‘Did she never forgive me five years ago? Has she never forgiven me for knowing who the real perpetrator is but being indifferent to her imprisonment? Even tacitly allowing others to hurt her?
‘What happened in the end?
‘And when can I remember it?’
The incident with Irene Lynch and Oriel Lynch came to an end Grace went to see Kyla with Lina, and the three women got together.
“It’s a good thing that your name was cleared on the spot, or God knows what would have happened,” said Lina. She learned about it from the videot online afterward She was really pleased with how Irene Lynch and Damian Harmon ended up.
“By the way, did Jason have an expert find that recording?” asked Lina.
“No, Mick found it,” said Grace.
“Mick?” Lina widened her eyes in surprise. “Are children nowadays so skilled?”
Kyla was also a little surprised, but because her son was intelligent and precocious as well, she was not as surprised as Lina.
“Yeah, he seems to be good with computers,” said Grace.
The three of them sat and chatted at the entrance of Kyla’s store. Just then, out of the corners of her eyes, Grace caught a small figure walking toward the gate of the primary school nearby.
Grace found the figure familiar. It was the little boy named Mason. After all, the boy had impressed her deeply.
However, to her surprise, the child was limping, “Huh? Why are there no adults accompanying such a young child?” Lina could not help asking in confusion after seeing the child.
Kyla then explained briefly to Lina about Mason.
“Poor kid. He’s an adopted orphan but isn’t welcome in his adopted family. He only has an older sister who’s pretty nice to him, but she’s young too and she lost her mother.”
Lina thought that the family was chaotic.
“People will think the siblings only have each other! Well, this boy got hurt the other day and can hardly walk, yet he still comes to wait for his sister at the school gate,” Kyla said with a sigh. She sympathized with the child too, but it was someone else’s family affairs, so she could not do much.
“He got hurt?” Grace froze.
“Yeah. I heard his sister and their stepmother had a conflict. The stepmother tried to beat up the sister but he stopped her and broke the cane. Their neighbors even called the police,” said Kyla.
Grace felt a pinch in the heart. It stung a little.
They even used a cane. She could imagine how painful it was for the child!
She immediately got up and went over to the little boy!
