Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Jason came to pick Grace up when it was time to get off work. Grace asked, “Jay, can you help me find someone?”
“Who?” he asked.
“The attending doctor who performed the abortion on Paisley Daniels,” she said.
Jason raised his eyebrows slightly. “You want to prove that Kyla Corbyn was framed?”
“That’s the only lead we have. The attending doctor knows all the details, and my bet is… Paisley Daniels wasn’t pregnant at the time. It was a fake abortion, or the child she was carrying wasn’t Martin Weiss’s!” said Grace.
If it were either of these two, it would be enough to prove that Paisley Daniels had an agenda when she fell down the stairs.
If Paisley Daniels was unfortunately pregnant with Martin Weiss’s child… then she would be wrong and it would be harder for Kyla to reverse her case.
“Aren’t you afraid that it’ll be confirmed Paisley Daniels was Indeed carrying Martin Weiss’s child?” Sure enough, Jason hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key issue.
“But what if Kyla was indeed set up by Paisley Daniels? No one knew that Kyla was pregnant at the time, so if Paisley Daniels was really pregnant with Martin Weiss’s child, there was no need for her to miscarry to frame Kyla. Isn’t such a price too high?”
Grace gave her analysis.
Jason said, “And what if we find this attending doctor but he refuses to say anything? What’s more, even if the attending doctor is willing to speak up, some of the physical evidence is already gone. Paisley Daniels could deny all of it.”
Grace said, “I’m not trying to convince the judge that Kyla is innocent. I’m just trying to convince Martin Weiss! If Martin Weiss loved Kyla before, I bet he doesn’t know the truth about Paisley Daniels’s set-up. He just believed what he saw and believed Paisley Daniels. That’s why he gave such a testimony.”
“So do you think as long as Martin Weiss is a little convinced and starts having doubts in his heart, he won’t fight for custody with Kyla Corbyn?” asked Jason.
“At least that’s the only thing we can do for now,” said Grace.
There was a smile at the corners of his lips as he watched her analyze the situation. It seemed to him that her entire body was glowing, and she looked so beautiful.
She was so beautiful that he could not look away.
Once Grace finished analyzing the situation, she found Jason staring intently at her.
“What… are you looking at?” she asked.
“I just think you’re beautiful,” he said.
Her heart was beating fast again. ‘When did he become such a sweet talker and such a flirt? He’s the beautiful one, alright?’
“By the way, any news from Hadwin Stephenson?” Grace asked after calming herself down. Lina was going to have her second operation in two days. The doctor also said Lina would wake up if everything went well after the operation.
How awful would Lina feel if she woke up and Hadwin Stephenson was still missing?
Jason said, “Not yet. The Stephenson family isn’t allowing anyone to mention Hadwin Stephenson, blocking his news and only announcing to the public about his disappearance. All of the Stephenson family’s affairs are temporarily handled by the first wife’s family. Hadwin Stephenson’s men have all been released from their duties.”
A look of worry came over Grace’s face when she heard this.
“Could Hadwin Stephenson be…”
Jason said, “He’s probably alive. If something had indeed happened to Hadwin Stephenson, the first wife would’ve been eager to announce everything so they can take over the Stephenson family smoothly. She would not be going through so many troubles. They’re only doing this because they’re afraid Hadwin Stephenson will come back and seize power!”
Grace breathed a sigh of relief at that.
‘As long as Hadwin Stephenson is alive!’
During Lina’s second surgery, Grace waited with Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney outside the operating room. It was not until the surgery was over and the doctor said everything was fine that she breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Grace.” Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney had completely changed their attitude toward Grace.
They regarded Grace as the Sweeney family’s savior.
“Uncle, Aunt, you don’t need to thank me. Lina has done more for me,” said Grace.
Mrs. Sweeney sighed. “I wonder what on earth happened to Lina when she went to find Hadwin. Hadwin is also still missing.”
“Maybe by the time Lina wakes up, we’ll have news about Hadwin
Stephenson,” said Grace.
“I hope so,” said Mrs. Sweeney while Mr. Sweeney put his hand on his wife’s shoulder, patting her to comfort her.
Grace also hoped Hadwin Stephenson would show up soon so that they could find out what had happened and why Lina was so seriously injured!
During the weekend, Grace and Jason went to Grace’s mother’s grave together.
Looking at her mother’s black-and-white photo on the gravestone, Grace’s eyes could not help watering again.
Her mother was smiling gently at her as if she was happy for her.
Grace said, “Mom, I’m happy now. I married Jay, and I have three babies in my belly. You can feel at ease now. After the three babies are born, Jay and I will come and see you again with them. Mom, if you’re up there, I hope you can ensure the safe birth of the three babies.”
Jason also said, “Mom, I’ll protect Grace, and I will never let her be wronged or get hurt again.”
Grace seemed a little stunned as she turned her head to look at
Jason.
“What’s the matter? Did I say it wrong?” he asked.
“Did you call my mom… Mom?” she asked in a mutter.
“We’re already married. Your mother is my mother. Is it wrong for me to call her Mom?” he asked with amusement.
There was… nothing wrong with it, but she had always thought that the word ‘Mom’ was taboo for him.
It was because his mother’s existence had hurt him.
Seeing Grace’s eyes widening in shock and doubt, Jason sighed gently. He bent over to hug Grace and said, “I was once abandoned by my mother, so the word ‘mother’ had always represented hatred to me. I didn’t think I’d ever call anyone ‘Mom’ again. But Grace… It was you who showed me that the word ‘mother’ still has warmth.”
He closed his eyes gently, rested his head on her shoulder, and told her things he never said to anyone. “Just like how you’re a good mother, and your mother was a good mother too. That’s why you miss her so much. She was the one who gave birth to you, and I’m very grateful. Without her, I would never have met you and would never understand what it feels like to love
Grace just felt that his breath seemed to surround her, and she seemed to have never been so close to him before-so close that he was taking the initiative to tell her about his trauma and his pain, little by little.
“So it’s not just because we’re married that I’m calling your mother ‘Mom. More importantly, she’s the mother of the woman I love the most. She’s the one who gave you life, which tantamounts to giving me a second life. Grace, you’re my second life,” he whispered.
Suddenly, the tip of Grace’s nose felt a little hot and sore. Her heart was moved.
She felt sorry for the man. Her heart broke for him, and she… wanted to protect the man more and make him happy.
She had felt this way before, and she felt it again… now.
Perhaps this was what love was! She had always loved him and had never once gotten over him!
