Since Nelson could hear now, it meant that there was a chance he could learn to speak in the future. As long as be wore a hearing aid, he could then function like a normal person.

Although three years old was a little late as doctors usually recommend that treatment begin as early as possible, the opportunity was not completely over as most children are not fully developed yet and would still absorb new sounds and languages like a sponge.

Grace went forward and ruffled the boy’s head. “Nelson, you can now hear sounds. It won’t be long before you start talking.”

The boy was very excited to hear Grace’s voice. He waved both hands. Then, he pointed all over the room while making some audible sounds as if trying to express himself.

Grace smiled and responded to each item that the boy pointed at.

“Why are you here today? Haven’t you just recently visited Nelson?” Kyla Corbyn asked.

“Nelson was still sleeping the last time I came. That’s why I came again today to see him. Fortunately, I’m in luck to see Nelson awake,” Grace said. Then, she asked Kyla Corbyn, “How is Nelson now? Is this considered a good sign?”

“It’s not bad. He can be discharged in another two days’ time. Later, he’ll need to go to special cla**es for about a year. The doctor said that if he does well there, he should be able to catch up with his speech. Then, he’ll be able to proceed with regular kindergarten.”

“If that’s the case, it’s great to hear,” Grace said.

“Yea.” Kyla Corbyn smiled and let her mother bring Nelson for a stroll around the hospital before she poured a cup of water for Grace. “Mr. Reed isn’t here today.”

“Yes, he went to his office. I had nothing to do at home and was bored. So I came over here.”

“You and him…” Kyla Corbyn hesitated for a moment. “You don’t need to make yourself so tired by working as a delivery person at my shop. Mr. Reed can find you plenty of suitable jobs.”

Who would have thought that Jason’s girlfriend would be working as a delivery person in her small restaurant? Even Kyla Corbyn herself could hardly believe that.

Grace pursed her lips and said, “Perhaps… But probably out of dignity, I wish that I can be independent to a certain. degree, I don’t wish to become a parasite who relies fully on him.”

Perhaps the lesson she obtained from her relationship with Sean Stevens was so great that she was insistent on this, matter up till now.

“But I can see that Mr. Reed treats you very well. You have reaped the good fruit you sowed,” Kyla Corbyn said.

‘Reaped the good fruit? Perhaps. Right now, my relationship with Jason is getting better. It feels as if we have gone back to the time when we were living together in the rented house.

No, there was still some difference. At that time, she merely saw him as a younger brother. Now, she saw him as a lover, a person whom she considered giving him the reins to her future.

“Kyla, you also have reaped the good fruit. Nelson can now hear sounds and he may be able to speak soon. Next time, he can be like any normal child, studying and making friends.”

“Yes, Nelson is my life. As long as he’s well, I don’t mind going through any hardships.”

Kyla Corbyn said so and looked at Grace. “You’re not yet a mother. When you become a mother, you’ll understand that as a mother, you’ll be willing to sacrifice anything for your child!”

‘Be a mother?…’ Grace looked at her flat abdomen and wondered if she would have a chance to be a mother in this lifetime.

After leaving the hospital, Grace thought about the day she had intercourse with Jason. They had not used protection.

Subsequently, she could not help from chuckling. ‘What’s with me? Am I afraid of getting pregnant?’

With her current condition, she could not get pregnant even if she tried. Even if they had not used protection, there was no issue there.

Besides, if she did get pregnant, was that not her wish? To become a mother?

Back at the Reed Residence, it was still early and Jason was not back yet. Grace planned to browse her phone for a bit to read the news when her phone rang. The called ID showed it was from Lina Sweeney.

Grace answered the call. On the other end of the call, Lina

Sweeney’s voice resounded, “Grace, can you, um, come to bail me out from the police station?”

Grace nearly choked on her saliva and stood up abruptly from the sofa. “What happened? Why are you at the police station?”

“Um, something happened. It’s a long story. I don’t want to alert my parents that I’m in lockup now. You know that with their age, they tend to blow things out of proportion.” Lina Sweeney’s voice sounded rather awkward,

“Okay, I’ll come over right away. Which station are you at?”

Grace said

After receiving the details from Lina Sweeney, Grace got the Reed family’s driver to send her there.

At the police station, Grace rushed inside. She informed the police about her visit and was brought to another room.

Inside the room, Grace saw her friend sitting at one end of a large table that was in the center of the room. On the other end was a man and a woman. The woman looked like she was about 25 to 26 years old while the man looked like he was in his 30s.

The man was quietly scrunched in a corner while that woman and her best friend were in a staring match.

“Oh, look at that, you’ve called for a sidekick!” The woman mocked Lina Sweeney when she saw Grace.

Grace frowned and looked at her friend. “Lina, what happened?”

“You don’t need to be bothered about her,” Lina Sweeney said.

The young woman burst out like a barrel of petroleum that caught on fire as she yelled, “Why? Are you ashamed to admit that you shamelessly seduced my boyfriend? If I hadn’t caught you in the act, were you going to strip naked and get into my boyfriend’s bed!”

Lina Sweeney glared at the woman. “Seduce? Do you think I’m interested in this kind of man? What exactly is going through. your brains? You only think that the problem lies with other people but have you ever considered that it’s your boyfriend that’s the problem!”

“I saw you with my own eyes yet you’re still arguing with me about it!” the woman yelled.

“Bullshit! What did you see with your own eyes?!” Lina Sweeney argued back. She pointed at the man who was curled in a corner. “Let me be frank. With his face, I won’t bat an eyelid even if you offer him to me. Besides, I have a boyfriend who is multiple times better than him. What reason. is there for me to be interested in this kind of man? Is he made.

of gold or money bills?”

The younger woman’s expression was full of mockery. “I don’t think you have a boyfriend to begin with! That’s why you’re eyeing someone else’s boyfriend. You dare to do it but you’re too much of a coward to admit it? Who will believe this load of crap.”

Lina Sweeney was fuming with anger. She wished she could open up the woman’s head to see what was inside that made.

her so unbelievable.

‘Even if this woman sees her boyfriend as treasure, does she think that everyone will think the same?!’

“I believe her!” Grace spoke up and looked at the young woman. “I’ve seen Lina’s boyfriend. Besides, what evidence. do you have to prove that she had ill-intentions toward your boyfriend? If there isn’t, we can sue you for defamation.”,

“I saw it with my eyes, so how can it be fake?” The young woman named Hattie Robson scoffed.

“Is that so? What did you see?” Grace asked.

“I saw her entering a fire escape stairway with my boyfriend to have a secret chat,” Hattie Robson said.

“If you meant a fire escape route, then people walk past there all the time. It can’t be considered as a secret chat anymore, can it? The most you can say is that they were having a chat. Besides, do you have more concrete evidence? Maybe a video or an audio recording to prove that my friend was indeed having an affair with your boyfriend? Otherwise, you’re just blatantly defaming her,” Grace said neatly.

Hattie Robson’s expression became livid. What Grace said was a slap to her face. She blurted, “You’re the same type of person as Lina Sweeney. Both of you are probably the kind of women who go around seducing men.”

When Lina Sweeney heard that, she rolled up her sleeves and was ready to fight the woman. “What a b*tch you are, Hattie Robson! You can scold me but how dare you scold my friend.

F*ck you. Even if I’m going to be locked up for a night, I’m going to beat you up first!”

When Hattie Robson saw that Lina Sweeney wanted to march up to her, she chickened out and hid behind her boyfriend. Grace quickly pulled Lina Sweeney back. The police officer who was in charge of the case immediately asked both women to pipe down.

Grace finally understood what was going on. Two women got into a fight over a man, then both sides also sustained some injuries. Initially, her best friend wanted to just let the incident slide, but the other woman was not going to give up easily.

She brought the incident to the police station and now they needed someone to bail them out.
