Chapter 229 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Back then, the three years in prison brought her from heaven down to hell. The fact that she could not have children was like sending her to the deepest level of hell.

That was the darkest period of her life. She felt that there was no meaning for her to live on. If not for Lina who frequently came to visit her, she would not still be alive right now.

The doctor sighed. “Let the gynecologist have a look at your report and see if there is anything we can do.”

“Anything we can do?” Grace was stunned for a moment. “Are there any other ways?”

“You’re still young. We can’t tell you that there’s no chance at all. Besides, in medicine, nothing is absolute.

Somehow, hope began to bud within Grace’s heart. Even if she knew how small that hope was, it was still hope, was it not?

If there was a way for her to treat her uterus, did that mean she could have a child?

When she thought about it, Jason’s face appeared in her mind.

If she could have a child, then the father of the child would be…

“Alright, we’re done. You can get up.” The doctor’s words interrupted Grace’s daydream.

She immediately got up from the examination bed and adjusted her clothes. She could feel her rapid heart rate because of her earlier thoughts.

She… wanted to have a child with Jason?

Grace followed the nurse out of the ultrasound room. She did not need to wait for her report as everything would be collected and sent to her consulting doctor. That doctor would then go through her report and decide which specialist needed to see her.

What Grace did not expect was that Andrea Schwartz, who was still in the queue, would once again approach her. She loudly questioned, “Did you buy the VIP package for your health check-up? Aren’t you working as a food delivery person? How did you afford to buy such an expensive package?”

Grace looked at Andrea Schwartz like she was a joke. The latter was acting as if she was a prosecutor whose questions

Grace needed to answer.

“I think that’s my personal matter. I don’t need to explain it to you.” Grace mocked.

Andrea Schwartz realized that her tone earlier was rather overbearing. Thus, she put on an act. “I’m just worried about you. You’ve just come out of prison. What if you make the wrong move and have to face the law once again? You know that we lawyers are more sensitive about these things.”

Grace coldly looked at Andrea Schwartz, making the other woman feel rather sheepish. “Why… are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing. You just look as if you hope that I’ll have a run-in with the law again,” Grace said.

Andrea Schwartz nearly choked on her saliva. “H-how can that be. We… We’re ex-colleagues. Of course, I wish you well.”

“Is that so? But you always like to mention my past in prison.

in front of others, as if you wish that everyone will know about this part of my past,” Grace said without beating around the bush.

Andrea Schwartz’s complexion reddened in embarra**ment.

Her colleagues from the law firm were among those in the queue. They were all focused on the drama happening, so they heard what Grace said as well.

Subsequently, some of them had a look of a certain realization in their eyes. They all continued to wait for the drama to unfold further.

“I… That’s because…” Andrea Schwartz wanted to make up an excuse, but the problem was, she could not think of any.

“A lawyer should know that the law enables a person to be sentenced with a crime from an objective manner. Even if that person has done thousands of crimes in the past, it doesn’t mean that this time, that person is guilty. But when it comes to you, it seems as if you’ve decided beforehand to label me as someone guilty. This is not how a professional lawyer should act,” Grace coldly said.

Her brutal words made Andrea Schwartz’s complexion redder.

Grace had raised doubts about her professionalism, yet Andrea Schwartz could not find a way to refute.

After Grace was done talking, she had no intention of continuing the debate with Andrea Schwartz. She informed the nurse who was with her, and they went to the next station.

Andrea Schwartz was left at the same spot. She glared spitefully at Grace’s back view. When she turned around once again, she was faced with the stares of her fellow colleagues.

Andrea Schwartz smiled sheepishly and rejoined the queue while feeling defeated.

After going through so much trouble, she still did not find out how Grace had the money to afford a VIP package.

After Grace was done with all the necessary check-ups, she went back to where Jason was.

“You’re done?” Jason asked.

“Yes, but some of the reports can only be done in the afternoon,” Grace replied.

“Then, let’s have breakfast. You haven’t eaten anything since this morning.” Jason offered.

“Okay.” Grace then left the hospital with Jason.

“Where do you want to eat?”

“Let’s just find a random place to eat nearby.” It was only 9-ish in the morning. Most stalls had not packed up yet.

“Okay.” He smiled and took her hand in his as they walked toward the nearby stalls.

Grace looked at the shaobing, youtiao, and douhua that were sold by the stalls. She craved them, thus she said to Jason, “Why don’t we eat from this stall? I haven’t eaten these in a long time.”

He nodded.

Grace went to the stall owner to order before looking at Jason. “What do you want to eat?”

“I’ll have a set of what you’re having as well.” He wanted to try the food that she craved.

A set of shaobing, youtiao, and douhua was a regular breakfast staple for Grace in the past. However, as the years went by, inflation kicked in and this set of three items cost seven dollars now. After she came out of prison, she no longer bought these whenever she walked past such stalls.

After all, seven bucks for breakfast was a luxury for her at that time. Most of the time, she tried to keep her breakfast under two bucks.

“By the way, after we’re done with the hospital today, can you accompany me over to my rented unit?” Grace suddenly mentioned.

“Why do you want to go there?” Jason asked.

“I was thinking of picking up some stuff and discussing with the house owner regarding the cessation of the lease.” After all, leaving that house inhabited was not the way to go.

Previously, she had plans to return to that place. As such, she never ended her lease contract.

Now that she had feelings for Jason and they were in a serious relationship, she felt that she should stop the lease on that rented house to save some money as well.

“Let’s go over after breakfast since your reports won’t be ready till the afternoon.” Jason suggested.

Grace thought about it and found it reasonable, thus she nodded and said, “Okay.”

Subsequently, she devoured her breakfast while Jason continued to observe her with a smile on his face. He found her expression when she took each bite of her shaobing and youtiao, as well as each spoon of her douhua, extremely cute in his eyes.

Her ponytail, her neat and clean forehead, her elegant facial features, that pair of shimmering eyes, that little button nose, and those pinkish lips…

Everything was perfect to him.

He never imagined that one day, he would fall in love with such a woman, yet it seemed so natural for him that he did.

As Grace ate, she randomly looked up to have her almond eyes meet Jason’s deep gaze. In that split second, she felt that her brain was vacuumed by that pair of eyes.

“Wh… What’s the matter?” she mumbled.
