He got up and gently hugged her. “Don’t worry, I won’t think anything of it. Even if he still has feelings for you, it’s just his wishful thinking.”
She was relieved. Her worst fear was that they would have an unnecessary misunderstanding. “But…” Jason’s voice paused. “Is it worth it to pay such a price for this baby?”
She muttered, “I think it’s worth it. It doesn’t matter even if I’ll lose my uterus. I’ll probably just age a little faster. But I’ll give the baby a chance to live. I have more to gain.”
Jason sighed to himself. She was always willing to make sacrifices for her children.
He had no way to refute her decision. Even though he would rather sacrifice the baby than let her get hurt, he could only give up when facing her determination.
Just like this time. Fortunately, the placenta did not grow where her C-section scar was. However, it was in a less desirable location-placenta previa.
It meant that not only would the pregnancy be utterly difficult, but the uterus would also likely need to be removed when she gave birth.
As soon as he heard the diagnosis, he instinctively tried to have her abort the baby. They already had three children. That was enough!
However, she wanted to keep the baby and continue the pregnancy.
“It’s not because our three kids aren’t enough but each life is unique. I don’t want to give up on our baby so easily. Besides, it’s just my uterus. I don’t have to sacrifice my life. I’m much luckier than Kyla in this regard, aren’t I? Kyla fought for her baby with her life!” she said calmly.
However, the faint smile made him unable to move his eyes.
It was as if she had had such respect for every living creature!
Perhaps it was why he was attracted to her and loved her so deeply. Just then, Grace suddenly felt nauseous. She covered her mouth again and hurried toward the washroom.
Jason knew she was suffering from morning sickness again when he saw that.
Her morning sickness this time seemed worse than during her last pregnancy. Back then, she stopped suffering from morning sickness after the first three months.
However, not only did her morning sickness not go away this pregnancy, but it also got worse.
Every time he saw her pale face, his heart sank.
Jason came to the washroom door. Listening to the sound of retching coming from inside, he gently looked down.
“Brian…” He mumbled the words, and gloom flickered in his eyes.
Even if Brian returned to Emerald City, there was no way he could affect him and Grace.
It was because he would not allow it!
Jason did not expect Brian to come to him the day after Grace told him about him.
“Why did you agree to let Grace proceed with the pregnancy?” Brian went straight to the point.
Jason looked at him coldly. “This is between Grace and me. You have no right to ask.”
“But do you have any idea how dangerous it is to let her proceed with the pregnancy? She might lose her uterus!” Brian lunged forward and asked as he approached Jason.
Jason’s thin lips smiled slightly as his eyes glimmered dangerously. “It seems you’ve checked her medical records before coming to me.”
Brian’s thin lips pressed together slightly. He had indeed looked up her medical records and found out the danger she was facing.
A layer of cold sweat had broken out on his palms after he learned the dangers of her pregnancy. Her pregnancy this time turned out to be such a burden on her.
“Then listen here…” Jason’s voice rang slowly. “Brian, Grace is my wife, and she is pregnant with my baby. It’s up to her and me to decide whether to give birth to the baby. Who do you think you are using to say these to me?”
Brian froze. After a while, he said, “Yes, Grace’s your wife. I know that better than anyone. But you need to know that I was willing to let go of her because she loves you. It’s also because I believe that you can protect her. If you can’t protect her and let her get hurt, I won’t let her go even if she loves you!”
“You won’t let go?” Jason suddenly sneered and raised his hands to grab Brian’s collar. Ilis handsome face was gloomy. “You have no right to say that to me because Grace will never love you!”
“Never? Who are you to say that?” Brian similarly stretched out his hands and grabbed Jason by the collar. “If I had asked for her name and address, I might have found her sooner! If you hadn’tdeliberately erased some of her information, how could it have taken me so long to recognize that she was the one I was looking for?”
He had spent many nights regretting it.
He regretted falling into the trap so foolishly. He knew Grace before Jason. He had gone through thick and thin with Grace since the beginning!
He had feelings for Grace at the time, but he still mistook the wrong person and even… hurt her.
“So you hate me?” Jason asked.
Brian said, “Yes, I hate you! If you hadn’t tampered with the evidence, I would’ve recognized her. She and I might even…”
“It’s never going to happen,” Jason interrupted Brian and slammed his body against the wall nearby.
“Brian, even if you had recognized Grace sooner, Grace would still be mine.”
“Really?” Unwilling to admit defeat, Brian backhanded Jason and pressed him to the other side.
The next moment, the two men started fighting in the huge office.
When Grace reached the office after receiving a phone call, she saw Jason and Brian. One was sitting in front of the desk, while the other one was sitting on the couch. Their faces were bruised, and their hair and clothes were messy. It was obvious that they had had a bad fight.
The two men were surprised by her arrival, and Jason finally asked, “What are you doing here?”
Grace said, “The secretary said there were some ‘noises’ in your office but they didn’t dare to barge in, so I came to take a look. What are you-”
“Nothing, we were just exercising,” Jason smiled and said. “I’ll ask the driver to take you home first.
Didn’t the doctor also tell you that the most important thing you should do is rest well to help the baby grow?”
“I’ll go back, but tell me why you started the fight,” Grace insisted on asking.
Jason pressed his thin lips together uncasily.
Seeing this, Grace turned to look at Brian. “Is it because of my pregnancy?” Brian hesitated slightly. He did come to look for Jason because of her pregnancy, but it was not why they started fighting.
However, Brian could not tell her the reason they fought no matter what.
Brian simply kept silent.
Therefore, Grace mistakenly thought she was right. “Brian, I don’t know what’s on your mind. But it’s my idea to give birth to the baby. I want this baby.”
“But do you want to risk everything for this baby who’s endangering your health?” Brian asked urgently.
Grace was slightly surprised. Amber Mitchell had probably not spoken to Brian about this, but he was aware of her condition and the price she had to pay to have the baby.
“I’m not risking everything. It’s not like I’m risking my life. I’m actually glad that I have the chance to have this baby,” Grace said with a smile.
As she spoke, her hands caressed her belly, while her face radiated with motherly affection.
Brian suddenly realized that it was probably useless no matter how much he said. She was determined to have the baby!
However, did she know what would happen to him if anything happened to her? ‘Does she know that all I want is for her to be alive and well? I’m even willing to sacrifice my own life for her to live healthily.
‘Does she also know that I was in hell every day, suffering beyond measure after learning that she had fallen into the sea and was missing?
‘No, she won’t ever know all of this!
‘Because Jason is the only man she loves.
‘Jason is the one she wants to spend her whole life with. I’m just a passerby!’
“Grace, why… do you want this baby so badly?” he murmured.
“Because this is my and Jay’s baby,” she answered him.
That one answer was all it took!
Brian left by himself. His suit was now a little messy because of the fight earlier. His bangs were scattered in front of his forehead. The marks left on his face after the fight were particularly eye-catching too.
Instead of driving away in the ear he came in, he walked down the street in a daze. He did not even know where he was going.
