Each time he saw her scars, he felt guilty and heavy in his heart.

Maybe he would have a hard time getting rid of this feeling for the rest of his life.

As long as he loved her, he would carry that feeling with him!

In addition to the old wounds, there were red spots on her skin.

It was as if they were the silent proof that she was his!

When he was done washing her, Jason lifted Grace out of the water and wrapped her in a dry towel before putting her in a pair of pajamas. Then, he carried her back to bed.

She was so tired that she was in a deep slumber the entire time.

He looked down at her sleeping face as his slender fingers ran gently through her long hair.

“Can’t you just let some memories remain lost when they’re lost? Why must you find them?” A cold voice rang in the room.

What answered him was the silent air.

“Grace, don’t get your memory back, all right? Just keep it that way. Just leave it as it is.” He was so gentle, his voice like a lover’s most touching whisper.

However, Grace was still sound asleep like a sleeping princess.

The next day, Grace looked like she could dazzle onlookers in her silver gown and ruby jewelry, especially after the stylist’s help.

Even Grace stared blankly at herself in the mirror.

How could she put this into words? The stylist had put on light makeup for her today. Therefore, there was not much difference in her features before and after makeup, but the overall feeling had changed.

The peachy makeup added a playful touch, making Grace feel like she was seeing her college self.

She put on seven-inch high heels and headed with Jason to the trade fair.

“What if I embarra** you later?” Grace asked on the way. After all, the trade fairs Jason attended were not small, and with his social status, the two of them would naturally grab everyone’s attention.

Though she would try hard not to embarra** him, she was a little worried when she thought of the previous time she had accompanied him to a banquet and ended up getting picked

“Then, let’s see who would dare to embarra** you.” Jason gave a casual smile and looked at Grace tenderly. “Besides, I’m all yours now. What’s so important about pride?”

“But…”

“If you care about it so much, why don’t I embarra** someone more than you’ll get embarra**ed? Don’t worry about it,” Jason said casually.

Grace did not know whether to laugh or cry. ‘Come on, that’s not the point at all!

The car pulled up at the trade fair. Grace had done some research and knew that today’s trade fair would mainly be attended by some well-known entrepreneurs. Besides the ones from Emerald City, there were also a few entrepreneurs from other cities.

You could say that such exhibitions could promote a lot of business collaborations and help those entrepreneurs build connections.

The trade fair today set a high threshold, so a lot of small and medium-sized business owners did not even get an invitation.

There were even people paying high prices for the invitations online.

After all, networking was all that mattered these days.

Many small and medium-sized business owners wanted an invitation to meet the big players they might not normally meet.

However, Grace was a bit confused. Jason did not like to attend such events unless it was necessary.

“Did you come here to meet someone today?” asked Grace. If was the only reason she could think of.

“I heard that Jewel Bailey will also be here today. She’s been abroad but has recently planned to open a law firm in Emerald City,” said Jason.

Grace immediately realized that he had brought her here today to give her a chance to meet Jewel Bailey.

Jewel Bailey was a female lawyer who Grace had admired since she was in college. However, she had never met Jewel Bailey in person since she was abroad and was involved in many foreign lawsuits.

She did not expect that she could meet Jewel Bailey in a place like this now.<

“How’d you know I’ve always wanted to meet Jewel Bailey?” asked Grace.

It would be appropriate to call her a fan of Jewel Bailey.

She had also read many of Jewel Bailey’s case studies.

“When you were reading the law books, you would read Jewel Bailey’s case studies carefully and make a lot of notes. When you saw the news about Jewel Bailey returning to the country, didn’t you say you wished for the opportunity to meet her?” said Jason.

Grace did not expect him to notice something so small.

Jewel Bailey had been her idol since college. She used to hope to become a female lawyer who ruled the legal world like Jewel Bailey.

However, she ended up having her lawyer’s license revoked, and it was only now that she got it back after reversing her case.

Grace was thinking about it when she caught a glimpse of two figures and immediately stiffened a little.

Jason, who was standing next to her, naturally sensed the

changes in her.

Following her line of sight, he saw a couple chatting with others nearby. It was Sean Stevens and Lily.

“Why? Do you still mind?” Jason asked in a whisper.

Grace’s hands quivered a little. The sight of them seemed to make her fingers ache again.

Lily had gotten someone to rip her fingernails off one by one, while the man who said he would protect her with his life just looked on indifferently.

Even when she kept saying she was wronged, it was of no use. All she got in return was more brutal treatment.

At that moment, her heart was dead.

These days, with a combination of medication and physical therapy, her knuckles were much better and had been pain-free for a long time.

However, seeing Sean Stevens and Lily together now brought to mind images of her fingernails being pulled out.

Then, her hand… Began to hurt again.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands closed around her trembling, aching hands. An elegant baritone voice rang in her ears. “Your hands are cold.”

“It’s… It’s nothing. My hands just began to hurt a little suddenly. It should be all right in a minute,” said Grace. She knew in her heart that the pain in her hand was more psychological than physical.

Upon hearing that, Jason frowned a little and took her hands. more gently in his, lowering his head while breathing gently into them.

Jason’s behavior might even seem bizarre.

As Jason did not normally appear in front of the media, many of the people who attended the fair did not know him.

He was eye-catching enough, and what he was doing right now naturally caught the attention of others.

Although it was strange, people only found the scene to be beautiful.

A handsome man in a crisp suit was carefully holding a woman’s hand. Those bright and charming peach blossom eyes were filled with worry. Anyone could see that this woman probably occupied a big position in the man’s heart.

The woman was dressed in silver, looking elegant yet somewhat sweet. A flash of pain came over her comely face which immediately made the man look even more distressed.

Quite a few people were already secretly inquiring about who these two were.

The onlooking women wished they were the ones being cared for by the man instead.

Nearby, Sean Stevens and Lily also saw this.

Looking at the woman whose hands were being warmed by Jason, Sean Stevens felt as if they were a world away.

Who would have thought that an ex-girlfriend of his, who he had dumped like garbage, would become such a cherished woman by Jason, the ruler of Emerald City?

She had even gotten more beautiful.

If when he first met her she seemed like a lovely girl next door, then now she had become an untouchable princess.

Back then, the Stevens family was always nervous in front of the Reed family because they were afraid of being implicated by Grace.
