‘Does she care about Chase Harper that much?”
Brian shook his head, trying to take his mind off what had happened that morning.
“What’s come over you, Brian?” Stella’s voice rang.
Brian smiled faintly. “Nothing.”
There was a twinkle in Stella’s eyes. Even though there was a rift and a misunderstanding between Brian and Grace, he was still so cold to her that his reluctance was at its height.
‘What’s so good about Grace? Didn’t she just study for a few more years and look slightly better than me?’
They looked similar back then, so they were often mistaken for twins. However, she and Grace gradually looked less and less alike. Besides, Grace had studied in tMason Swansonty, so their temperaments changed more and more.
Gradually, when people in town talked about Grace, they called her beautiful and talented, while she was the pathetic one by comparison.
Stella was even more jealous at the thought of it.
“Brian, you’re… not thinking about Grace, are you? Is it really okay for you to argue with Grace because of my lawsuit? Grace was even willing to beg to see you for Chase Harper. Is it alright for you to reject seeing her?” Stella said, pretending to be apologetic.
“You needn’t ask any more questions about us. Just talk to your lawyer about the issues that are related to the lawsuit,” Brian said coldly.
Stella suddenly started sobbing and seemed to wipe her tears as she lowered her head. “Brian, thank you. I thought you love Grace and would show your concern for her by advising me not to sue Chase Harper. I thought you’d ask me to swallow the grievance, but… I didn’t expect you to hire a lawyer for me and help me with my case. Thank you. That’s so nice of you. You’re… still the same person.”
She wanted to call him Bryn but gave up after remembering his previous warnings.
There was no need to annoy him with a name. After all, the most important thing now was for him to avoid meeting Grace as much as possible and become increasingly estranged from her.
Brian stared at Stella. “As long as everything you say is true, of course, I’ll help you get justice.”
Since Grace was determined to help Chase Harper, he would see her after the case was resolved. He wanted her to know that Chase Harper, whom she cared about, was unworthy of her trust!
Then she would naturally see that she had trusted the wrong man!
Brian thought so at this moment.
However, he could not tell whether he wanted justice for Stella or whether… he was more jealous of Chase Harper!
Grace lay on the hospital bed in the hospital’s VIP ward with an IV drip on the back of her hand. Her pale face was so similar in shade to the white sheets covering her. She looked so haggard. Her brows were still furrowed even in her unconscious state.
The doctor had told Jason about Grace’s current condition- slight dehydration, fatigue, excessive mood swings, and so on… These were exactly as Jason had expected.
However, Jason was shocked when the doctor paused and said the next sentence.
“Miss Cummins is now 13 weeks pregnant and needs to take in enough nutrition. Otherwise, she might be at risk of miscarrying.”
“What? Did you say she’s… pregnant?” The cold voice was a little out of tune when it spat these words out.
There were very few things in the world that could shock Jason. However, Jason was shocked now, looking incredulous.
“Yes, the fetus is doing okay. But Miss Cummins has to take good care of the fetus after fainting this time,” the doctor said.
Jason turned his head and stared at Grace who was still asleep. ’13 weeks. That’s three months ago, so the baby she’s carrying now… is mine!
‘She’s carrying my baby!’
Jason’s heart was filled with a mixture of emotions. ‘Does she know she’s pregnant? And I…’
Jason kept quiet as he stared at Grace.
Terrence was also shocked. ‘Grace is pregnant? And by the look on Master Reed’s face right now, the baby should be his.
‘Did Grace just… make it?’
After all, many women in Emerald City wanted to join the Reed family by giving birth to an heir. However, forget about the ‘heir’. The ‘mother’ did not even have the chance to approach Master Reed!
Grace was so lucky!
Terrence could not help sighing to himself. He patted the doctor on the shoulder and led him out of the ward with him.
As a private secretary, Terrence naturally knew that his boss needed to calm down and be alone with Grace.
There was only the sound of the two breathing in the quiet room.
Jason gently raised his hand and touched Grace’s belly through the white sheets.
He had accompanied her to see a gynecologist and naturally knew that she had hurt her uterus before. Even if she wanted to have a baby and took care of her body well, it was extremely difficult to do so even by artificial methods. Not to mention…
getting pregnant naturally!
The odds were too small!
Therefore, even after they separated and even when he saw her vomit that day, the idea of her being pregnant never occurred to him.
However… she was pregnant, and it was their child in her womb!
Was their baby a boy or a girl? What would they look like?
His hand moved from her belly to her pale cheek, his long fingers caressing it. Everywhere his fingertips touched was chilly.
He muttered, “Do you know you’re pregnant? If it were up to you, I’m afraid you wouldn’t want to have my child, but… now that we have a child together, will…”
His voice stopped as if thousands of words were stuck in his throat. However, what he finally spat out was… “Will you still leave me?”
However, the person who was sound asleep could not answer him.
Grace did not know how long she had been asleep. When she woke up, what she saw was the unfamiliar white ceiling.
‘Where… am I?’ She blinked her eyes subconsciously and slowly remembered that she had gone to Reed Group and asked Jason to lend her two million dollars. Then she was rejected by Jason, and… she planned to leave… Then she could not remember anymore.
‘Did … pa** out?’
“You’re awake.” A magnetic and cold voice rang in the room.
Grace shuddered and immediately sat up. She widened her eyes and stared at Jason, who was in the room, in surprise.
“How did you…”
Then, her gaze fell upon the furnishings and medical equipment in the room. She immediately came to her senses. “Is this the hospital?”
Jason said, “You fainted. That’s why you were brought here.
You’ve been unconscious for seven hours. What would you like to eat?”
She pressed her dry lips together. “No thanks. Thank you for sending me to the hospital, but I’m afraid I can’t pay for the treatment now. I’ll pay you back slowly later.”
With that, she threw back the sheets and got out of bed.
However, because she had just woken up and had not eaten for a long time, she felt a fit of weakness as soon as she got out of bed.
She stumbled and was about to fall, but Jason stretched out his long arm and caught Grace.
All of a sudden, she was in his arms.
