Grace was instantly stunned.
His beautiful long fingers were ma**aging her knees through her long dress as he exerted just the right amount of pressure.
Her knees were feeling hotter and hotter as if they were going to burn.
“Do you feel better?” His voice had always been melodious, and that cold tone sounded particularly clear in the quiet room.
Grace stared blankly at the face close at hand. He was squatting, so their line of sight was almost at the same level. His bright eyes seemed to be filled with worry for her.
‘But how could he possibly worry about me? At best, he’s probably just feeling a little bit of residual sympathy after our breakup….!
“I’ll do it myself,” she said.
Raising his eyebrows, he said, “What’s the matter? You don’t like me ma**aging your knees for you?”
“We broke up,” she said again.
Jason’s hands stopped what they were doing. ‘Is she so eager to get away from me after saying that she’s going to forget me?’
He then suddenly recalled her drunken kiss at Drunken Days’ entrance.
That silly smile of hers and the way she said, “Jason, I’m going to forget about you…”
‘What she said and did are normal reactions to a breakup, but why do I feel so uncomfortable?’
“Since we’ve broken up, why did you hold me and kiss me that day?”
Grace was stunned as she did not expect
Jason to ask that question.
“Kiss… Kiss you?” Her face went red, and she even started stuttering.
He looked at her in a way that even he did not realize just how greedy he was being. “Yes, that night at the entrance of Drunken Days.”
Grace was rendered speechless.
‘Drunken Days?’ It seemed that drinking was really a mistake!
She did not expect to have kissed him when she blacked out!
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll ask Terrence over for you to ask him,” he said.
‘Terrence? Terrence? His secretary? Did he see it?’ Grace’s face grew redder!
“Or we can pull out the nearby surveillance footage from that night. They probably have it on video,” he added.
Grace felt the urge to bury herself in a hole.
‘Surveillance… Does this count as a damning indictment?’
“No… No need,” she said, looking embarra**ed. If she had known how she was going to behave after getting drunk that day, she would never have taken a sip.
Grace lowered her head and dared not look at Jason’s eyes again. As such, she did not realize that he was looking at her with such fascination.
His face was getting closer and closer to hers. He could not help but want to kiss her crimson cheeks…
Creak!
Just then, the door was pushed open. It was the a**istant who had gone to fetch the medicine.
The a**istant was stunned when he saw what was going on inside the room.
The man was squatting in front of the woman like he was kneeling on one knee. His hands were ma**aging the woman’s knees through her long dress, and his handsome face was close to the woman’s. He looked… obsessed and infatuated as if the only thing the man had in his eyes was this woman.
‘How could such a look… appear on the famous Master Reed’s face?
‘Didn’t they say Master Reed is cold and heartless?’
The a**istant had only heard that Jason had brought a woman here for treatment, but it was the first time he was seeing it for himself.
The sound of the a**istant opening the door startled Jason and Grace.
The obsession on Jason’s face was instantly replaced by coldness. Out of the corner of his eyes, he coldly glanced at the a**istant, causing the fellow to break into a cold sweat.
“Miss Cummins, here’s your medicine. The instructions are the same as before, but this week, we’ve added a box of western medicine for pain relief. They’re
။
all written in the instructions.” The a**istant hurried forward and handed Grace the medicine.
“Alright, thank you.” Grace took the medicine and hurried to get up.
However, Jason took her hand and said, “Stay seated. I’ll see if there’s any medicine you can take right now.”
As he said this, he took her medicine and looked at them. He found that the western medicine could be taken
Then, he read the instructions, took two tablets as the instructions instructed, poured some warm water, and brought it all to her.
The a**istant, who had not yet left,
‘Who the hell is… this woman? She doesn’t look like one of the socialites from the city. She’s wearing ordinary clothes that look cheap.
However, Master Reed had ma**aged her knees and was even waiting on her so that she would take her medicine. Anyone could see that this woman was important to Master Reed.
Grace looked at the medicine in front of her, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.
The man had been so cruel when they broke up, but now he was handing her the medicine and gla** of water like he was the same gentleman when they were still together.
Gentleness and cruelty were all reflected on him incisively and vividly.
She silently took the medicine and gla** of water before swallowing the medicine with a gulp of water.
Then, he picked her up and walked out of the hospital.
The fancy car had pulled up in front of the hospital’s entrance. Just as he put her down near the car door and opened it, she stepped back from him, putting distance between the two of them.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of surprise in his eyes.
She looked at him so carefully as if she was trying to size up the man before her. Her lips opened gently as she spoke in a soft but calm voice, “Thank you, Mr. Reed. You really don’t need to do anything for me.”
“Just because we broke up? Even if we’ve broken up, I can…”
Before he could finish, she had gently raised her hand. Her fingers, slightly deformed around the knuckles, touched his lips.
She smiled gently. Her smile was still as calm as usual, but it was as if it could seep into people’s hearts.
“Jay, this is the last time I’m calling you that. I’m just a normal person. I’ll get angry, sad, unhappy, and miserable. Even if you treat our relationship as just a game, it’s serious to me. I really thought about growing old and having children with you,” Grace said quietly.
She spoke without complaint or hatred. She was so calm that it seemed as if she was talking about a common topic.
However, his heart began to tremble.
“Therefore, now that the game is over,
I can’t adapt as quickly as you can. It may take a while for me to get over the relationship.
“Now that we’ve broken up, I hope we can have a clean break.
“You and I had nothing to do with each other in the first place, nor will we ever from now on. I’m not your girlfriend or
‘Sis’.”
Her voice went on, and every word stung his heart like a needle or a sword.
Even his blood seemed to be bubbling in pain, that excruciating feeling spreading to every inch of his body along with his blood flow.
She pulled back her fingers which were now warm from his lips.
However, she knew that the warmth would never belong to her.
“Jay, I want to forget you, and I will forget you. Please consider how I took you in and was nice to you… when we were dating. Please don’t disturb my life anymore, alright? I know my place and
I’ll leave you alone.”
As she said this, she looked away before walking past him. At last, she whispered,
“Goodbye, Jason.”
to every inch of his body along with his blood flow.
