While having dinner that evening, the chopsticks in Grace’s hand suddenly dropped to the ground and her expression changed slightly.
“What’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?” Jason immediately panicked.
“No, there’s just… a sudden pain in my knuckles. It’s nothing serious,” Grace said and asked the maid to give her another pair of clean chopsticks.
Speaking of which, it was getting colder now. It had been rainy and humid for two days, so her knuckles were probably very in the change in temperature.
Jason stared at Grace’s fingers. “Are you sure it only hurts a little?”
“How much pain do you think I’m in?” Grace gave a faint smile.
“You know how my knuckles tend to ache when it’s cold and humid. I’ll go look for Dr. Russell tomorrow to have him take a look at my hands.”
Speaking of which, Dr. Russell had asked her to go for treatment once a week, but so much had happened since then. She had also gotten pregnant, so she stopped going.
She wondered if Dr. Russell would get mad when she went to him this time.
“Then I’ll go with you tomorrow,” he said.
“No thanks. You’ve got work to do. I can go myself,” she said.
“I’ll go with you.” He insisted.
Hearing that, Grace stopped refusing. She was about to continue eating when he suddenly said, “I’ll feed you.”
“Feed me?” She was slightly stunned.
“Aren’t your hands hurting? It’s inconvenient for you to hold the chopsticks. Let me feed you,” he said.
It was true that she was in slight pain, but it was not so bad that she could not hold her chopsticks and pick up her food.
However, watching Jason pull the chopsticks out of her hand, Grace could not help but smile and accept his gesture to feed her.
Therefore, a man was attentively feeding a woman and even peeling shrimp for her in the dining room. The gentleness on his face was something he had never shown others.
He was only gentle to her.
The maids were also stunned at the sight of this. After all, they had never seen Master Reed feed anyone before!
However, Master Reed was now waiting on Young Madam as she ate.
He was really… waiting on her. It was as if Young Madam meant everything to him!
Even though Jason was not saying anything, anyone could see how much he loved the woman in front of him!
The next day, Jason took Grace to Dr. Russell’s small clinic.
When Dr. Russell saw Grace and Jason, he raised his eyebrows and secretly sighed.
Seeing how they were walking in together, Dr. Russell knew that the Hart boy had lost!
“You haven’t been here for so long, I thought you had given up on your hands!” Dr. Russell snapped as he glared at Grace.
Even though he knew it was Emerald City’s Jason standing next to Grace, he kept his usual attitude. He had no intention of changing his attitude just because of Jason’s identity.
“So much has happened during this time, so… I’m sorry I haven’t been coming,” said Grace.
Dr. Russell said, “It’s not me you’ve let down, it’s your hands!”
Grace knew Dr. Russell had the best intentions despite his harsh words. “Dr. Russell, if I stop the treatment for my hands now, will it matter if I wait a year to treat it?”
“Stop the treatment?” Dr. Russell immediately frowned. “Have you forgotten what I told you about the seriousness of interrupting the treatment? Fortunately, it’s not too serious since you’ve only stopped for a short time. If it’s a year…”
Grace said, “I’m pregnant. If we proceed with the treatment for my hands, won’t it affect my babies? So we can only stop.”
Dr. Russell’s expression froze. “Indeed, your hands can’t be treated in that way anymore if you’re pregnant, but if you stop the treatment now, your hands may worsen. You might not even be able to clench your hands into fists.”
Jason’s expression immediately changed. “How could it be?”
“The worst case is that your hands might be crippled,” Dr. Russell added.
Jason’s expression turned grimmer. “How could it be? Is there no other way?”
Dr. Russell smiled faintly. “I’ve explained all sorts of serious possible outcomes to her before the treatment!”
Grace said, “In other words, I can’t delay treatment for a year?”
”
“It’s not that you can’t get treatment anymore. It’s just that the pain will be much more painful than anything you’ve ever experienced before. Besides, if the condition of your hands worsens and they’re rendered crippled before treatment, then no treatment would work.”
Jason’s expression had completely sunk. He could not accept the fact that her hands were going to be crippled and that the treatment was going to be more painful a year later.
He had seen her undergone treatment once. He had shuddered when he saw the needle knife stab into her hand without any anesthesia.
Ordinary people could hardly bear the pain, let alone a more intense pain.
“Grace, I can find you a better doctor in the country and abroad. I’ll cure your hands no matter what!” Jason said in a deep voice.
“I’m not sure about overseas, but I’m the only one who can cure her hands in the country,” Dr. Russell said bluntly.
Jason’s thin lips were pressed tightly into a straight line, and his face turned grimmer.
“I see. Thank you, Dr. Russell! If my hands aren’t crippled a year later, I’ll have to trouble you to treat them again,” said Grace.
Dr. Russell stared at Grace. “Aren’t you afraid that these hands of yours will be crippled?”
“My babies matter more. I could die for them. It’s just a pair of hands. It’s no big deal.” Grace smiled lightly as if she was nonchalant.
The way Dr. Russell looked at Grace with admiration. “Then I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Soak your feet with the decoction, and you can apply the residue to your hands. Three times a week. It’s suitable for pregnant women!”
Dr. Russell wrote her a prescription as he spoke. He asked Grace to go to the pharmacy and fill the prescription.
“Thank you, Dr. Russell,” Grace said quickly.
“You don’t need to thank me. The prescription is only to relieve the joint pain during your pregnancy. It can’t guarantee that your hands won’t be crippled,” Dr. Russell said quickly.
Grace smiled. She knew Dr. Russell’s bark was worse than his bite. She thanked him again and left with Jason.
After getting in the car, Jason took the prescription in Grace’s hand. He pondered for a while and said, “I’ll have someone check this prescription out later.”
“Are you afraid there’s something wrong with it?” asked Grace.
