Nonetheless, she still hoped that Grace would ultimately find happiness.

“Ah, by the way, I forgot to buy some fruits. I recall Nelson telling me that he wanted to eat pomegranates while he’s in the hospital,” Grace said as she searched her phone for places to buy pomegranates.

Of course, what Grace meant was that Nelson had expressed it to her in sign language.

“No need for that, Grace. You’ve already bought toys for Nelson. I’ll get pomegranates for him later,” Kyla Corbyn retorted quickly.

“It’s okay, I’ll be quick. I saw a fruit stand at the entrance of the hospital and there should be some pomegranates there. I’ll go down and come back up real quick,” Grace continued, “I have to do it since I promised Nelson.”

After she finished her sentence, Grace hurriedly left the ward.

Thus, Kyla Corbyn, Mrs. Corbyn, and Jason were left in the room.

Mrs. Corbyn was aware of Jason’s identity due to her daughter’s explanation the day before. At that moment, she felt slightly uncomfortable being in the same ward as such a powerful man. Hence, she merely pretended to look at her grandson.

As for Kyla Corbyn, she took the initiative to say, “Young

Master Reed, would you like some tea?”

“No need,” Jason replied indifferently. His eyes fell on Nelson who was still asleep on the bed. “This child, does he belong to you and Martin Weiss?”

The simple sentence shocked Mrs. Corbyn and Kyla Corbyn. Additionally, Mrs. Corbyn flew into panic as she almost bounced off her chair.

As for Kyla Corbyn, she was much calmer than her mother.

She looked at Jason and said, “Is that what you learned from investigating my background?”

“Yes, but the information I have is just an inference based on time. Moreover…” The corner of Jason’s lips curved upward. “The most interesting part is that Martin Weiss doesn’t seem to be aware that he has a son.”

“…” Kyla Corbyn pursed her lips and said with slight difficulty, “Nelson is my son alone. From the beginning, Martin Weiss had never wished for Nelson’s existence, so he has nothing to do with him. Young Master Reed, you said you wouldn’t interfere with affairs concerning Martin Weiss and me. Therefore, I hope that you won’t say anything about Nelson to anyone.”

“Please, Young Master Reed!” Mrs. Corbyn exclaimed anxiously. She even got up and ran to Jason’s side, making a gesture as if she would kneel and beg the other party.

“Mom,” Kyla Corbyn hurriedly stopped her mother, fearing that her mother’s temporary urgency to plead would make Jason unhappy.

“I’ve said before that I’m not interested in matters concerning and Martin Weiss. However, Grace seems to… like the kid,” you Jason said as he glanced at the little guy on the hospital bed.

“He’s lucky that Grace likes him, so it can be regarded that he has helped himself out.”

Mrs. Corbyn was a little confused when she heard the second half of Jason’s sentence, but Kyla Corbyn understood what he meant in a heartbeat.

Before this, she wondered why the hospital suddenly had a specialist to give Nelson a consultation. Not to mention, they were given a considerable discount in terms of medical fees. Rehabilitation training was also arranged by the hospital and all she needed to pay was a small amount of money.

It was like was a gift from the heavens, but was it as simple as she and her son got lucky?

Frankly speaking… The real reason was because of Grace, right? Had Grace asked for Jason’s help? Was that the reason why all of it was possible?

At this moment, Grace returned to the ward with a bag of pomegranates in her hand.

“Alright. When Nelson wakes up, if the doctor allows it, he can go ahead and eat these,” Grace said with a big smile on her face.

“Thank you, Grace,” Kyla Corbyn said, her eyes were slightly red.

“It’s just a bag of pomegranates,” Grace replied, thinking that the other party’s red eyes were due to them being worried about Nelson’s condition. “Nelson’s surgery was a success, and he just needs to adapt to the cochlear implant, Kyla. There is no more danger, so you don’t need to worry; everything will be fine.”

“Yeah, everything will be fine.” Kyla Corbyn nodded.

Before this, she had thought of herself as Grace’s savior as she was willing to allow the latter to work in her store when the other party was in a difficult situation. However, in actual fact, Grace was her savior!

If it were not because of Grace, Nelson would never have been able to receive such treatment.

Nelson was still asleep when Grace left the ward with Jason. “I’ll come to visit Nelson next time,” Grace said as she waved goodbye to Kyla Corbyn and Mrs. Corbyn. Shortly after, she and Jason arrived at the parking lot of the hospital.

However, just as Grace was about to get into the car, Jason reached out his hand and took her directly into his arms.

“Smile at me.”

“What?” Grace was confused.

“Smile at me, just like how you did in the ward before,” Jason said. Most of the smiles he saw of hers were shy and timid; he rarely saw bright ones like the one she had worn in the ward.

At that moment, Grace’s eyes were so bright and beautiful that he found it hard to look away.

“Don’t I usually smile at you?” Grace asked, “Why do you want me to smile so suddenly?”

“Because you smiled very beautifully, so I wanted to see you smile again,” Jason replied in a low voice. His voice carried a tone that seemed like he was coaxing a child as he asked,

“Will you smile one more time, Sis?”

Grace could only feel the blood in her body seemingly rush to her face once more. “There’s… a surveillance camera here!”

In other words, their every move was now perhaps being watched by someone on the other end of the surveillance camera.

“So what?” Jason’s eyes were burning with pa**ion and were full of longing. “Smile one more time, Sis. I want to see your smile one more time…”

Grace’s heart… had begun to pound as she stared at Jason in a daze. The desire in his eyes made her want to satisfy him.

There it was… a smile on her face that was as bright and magnificent as the sun… it was stunning…

After leaving the hospital, Grace was not expecting Jason… to really take her to the food street.

Initially, they were merely pa**ing by the street full of food stalls, and she had said out of nostalgia that she had not been there for a long time. Consequently, Jason parked the car nearby and brought her straight there.

“Do you really want to take a stroll here?” Grace was still somewhat incredulous.

“Is there something wrong?” Jason retorted, “Didn’t you also take me to a night market last time? It’s similar to this place.”

“But, I didn’t know your identity at that time,” Grace said. If she had known he was Jason, she would not have taken him to the night market to buy clothes.

“What’s the difference? No matter if it’s in the past or future,

I’m your Jay.” Jason looked at her thoughtfully.

That look on his face… Ugh, it was like nirvana to Grace! “Then… you go ahead and take a stroll.” She pursed her lips. Nevertheless, she still followed him around the food court.

In the past, when Grace was still in college, she used to visit the place often with her cla**mates. However, once she started working, she naturally stopped frequenting it.

Later, after being in jail for three years and being released, she struggled to find food and clothes. What more was the idea of taking a stroll in the area.

It was already evening at this time, and the crowd in the area was gradually beginning to build up. Grace and Jason walked around and bought snacks and skewers as they filled up their stomachs.

It was a food street market, but there were also many other stalls that sold clothes, accessories, gadgets, and knick-knacks.

Each item was priced cheaply and affordably; most of the people who were shopping around the area were students.
