Grace didn’t know what to say, so she looked down, embarrassed. She didn’t know how to express her love for Mason in front of his father.
“Grace, I can assure you that my son loves you. I can protect you from any upset that may come of your relationship. Now it’s all up to you. You’ve seen Mason up there in the hospital. Surely you can tell how much he loves you?”
Emma had said that Mason loved her, and now Mr. Thomas had told her that Mason had even admitted it to him. Grace thought for a moment and asked herself, what could she now possibly be worried about? Was it because she no longer loved him? She felt that things were actually starting to work out for her. Before, there had been so many obstacles that let her think she and Mason were impossible. However, suddenly an unexpected turn had made everything better for them. Grace was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of happiness and struggled to determine whether what was happening was actually real or not.
After a long time, Mr. Thomas couldn’t wait for Grace’s answer any longer and said, “Don’t you love Mason? Alas, if the answer is yes, we need to tell him immediately!”
Hearing his words, Grace looked at him and hurriedly said, “Mr. Thomas, no, I…” She dared not say she loved him so easily, or it would be just another thoughtless collection of words. Love was sacred, so how could it be so easy to express? Thus, she answered, “I care about him. Everything seems to change, so suddenly I find it difficult to place my emotions accurately.”
Listening to her words, Mr. Thomas smiled again, “So, you are willing to be with my son?”
Grace’s face turned red as she nodded, “If Mason really cares about me, and you don’t have a problem with my status, then I am happy to be with him. After all, I care for him deeply.”
Mr. Thomas laughed heartily, “Your words have put me at ease. I believe in your character and willingness to make Mason happy, so I’m very happy to know that you shall be my daughter-in-law. Then, you and Mason can get married early. He is 31 years old now, not so young anymore. It’s time for him to get married and have his own family. I hope to see that.”
Grace looked at him suddenly, a little embarrassed, “Mr. Thomas, is it not too early to decide when to marry? What’s more, you’ve only just told me all of this, and Mason still doesn’t know, not to mention Mrs. Thomas and Emma. They probably were not happy with it, were they?
Mr. Thomas laughed happily and said, “As long as you keep your promise, everything will be all right. My wife will always listen to me at home. Grace, you can go back to the ward and take care of Mason. Leave the rest to me.”
Mr. Thomas then stood up and invited her to Mason’s ward. Grace nodded and then followed him. She felt that there was something a little strange about Mr. Thomas. Would it be thoughtless to decide their marriage now? He wanted them to get married now as if he had no more time. Was it because he was very busy? Whatever it was, things had finally started to change for the good, so why not be happy?
Grace smiled to herself and was still smiling when she arrived at Mason’s ward. Mrs. Thomas and Emma were also there. Mrs. Thomas looked at them, angrily, “Where did you two go?” She focused her glare on Grace and frowned disapprovingly.
Mr. Thomas responded happily, “Come outside with me, and I have something to tell you. Emma joined us as well.”
Emma was confused and cast a look over at her equally confused mother. However, they obeyed Mr. Thomas’s instruction and went to leave.
It was not until they were all gone that Grace looked up and then turned to look at Mason’s ward. After taking a deep breath and hesitating for a while, she pushed the door and went in.
Mason was sleeping at the time. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and saw Grace, who looked happier and more energetic than before, as if she had some good news to tell him.
Mason was a little surprised and said, “Grace, you came back. Have you come to hear my explanation?”
“You don’t need to explain, I understand. This time, I won’t leave you again. I’ll stay with you forever.” Grace smiled gently and looked at Mason with a warm expression. Because all the obstacles between them had finally been put aside, they could eventually be happy if she accepted him.
Mason was stunned and stared at her for a long time before finally saying, “What did you say? Is it true? Are you really willing to be with me? Do you forgive me?”
Grace nodded, suddenly she felt very shy. Even shyer than the first time, she promised to be his girlfriend. Equally, this time, Mason looked like a little boy who had met his first love on the school playground. Perhaps it was Mason’s unexpected reaction that made her feel so timid.
Mason looked longingly at Grace and said, “Can I hug you? Let me check that I am not in the dream!”
Grace smiled gently and went over to hug him. Mason could only move one of his arms because the other one was badly injured. Mason pulled her into his half-embrace and sighed, “I really feel as though I’m dreaming. After you left like that, I thought you would never come back.”
Grace felt a warm feeling through her body, mixed with a sense of apprehension. She felt as though there were so many things happening at once. However, as a result, they were together again. “Do you know why I came back?” she said softly.
“Why?” Mason asked eagerly.
“Because of your father. He has told me everything. He also told me that he encourages and supports our relationship. You should take good care of him. At least you shouldn’t be so indifferent. Your father still cares about you, and he feels indebted to you.”
“My father?” Mason seemed very surprised, but he soon relaxed and sighed, “I know. As long as I can be with you, I’ll do whatever he asks!”
After two months, Mason recovered and was able to leave the hospital. Although his wounds hadn’t completely healed, he was looking better, and his injuries didn’t hinder him too much. About one month after the incident, Emma left for Chicago to go back to school. Before she left, she had invited Grace to go out to talk. Grace knew that she was upset, so she agreed. They went to a coffee shop which was near the hospital. Emma said, “It’s nice to see you and my brother are together again.” She smiled as she said it, but Grace could tell by her eyes that she was only masking her sadness. Grace thought that perhaps Emma still couldn’t forget her brother. Was it that women are always more persistent in relationships than men, so they often get hurt more than men do?
Grace wanted to comfort her, “You will meet a better man.”
Emma looked down and shook her head, smiling bitterly, “Perhaps. I’ll go back to Chicago soon and stay there for a long time. I hope my brother can treat you well. You two will get married and have a perfect life.”
