She stepped back subconsciously, trying to avoid him.
However, the heels she was wearing today were already high. The heels tilted as she stepped back, and the dress had now become a hindrance, causing her to fall backward without any time to react.
The only thing she could do was instinctively reach out and grab for something!
Bang!
Her hand grasped another hand as if she was someone who was about to fall from a cliff and had at last grasped a chance of survival. She gripped it tightly with her five fingers.
The next moment, an arm encircled her waist and stopped her from falling.
“Are you all right?” She heard Brian’s voice.
Grace stood up in shock. Breathless, she stared blankly at the hand she was holding.
She was holding Brian’s hand.
She was holding it so tightly!
It was how the little girl had held the little boy’s hand so tightly in her dreams.
Her head… Hurt again!
It was as if a needle was stabbing at her head, and the broken images kept appearing in her mind.
“The dress is torn. I like this dress very much. It’s expensive, so Grandma told me to cherish it.”
“How about I get you a lot of dresses in the future?”
“I don’t want that many. I like this one.”
“How about I get you a purple dress someday? I like purple best.”
“Does the purple dress have as many little flowers as this one?
I like these little flowers.”
“Sure, then I’ll get you a purple dress with lots of little flowers.”
A conversation between two young voices kept ringing in her ear. These voices belonged to… The little girl and the little boy in her dreams.
Grace, what’s come over you?”
‘Whose… Whose voice is that? Who’s speaking in my ear?’
Her headache got worse and worse, and the sharp pain seemed to make her head burst.
“It hurts…” The sound of her moans escaped from her mouth.
“Is it a headache? What the hell is happening to you?” asked Brian. The woman in front of him was pale with beads of sweat pouring out of her forehead.
Her hand clutched her temple, and she looked as if she was suffering from intense pain.
Looking at her like this, his heart could not help but tighten. A feeling called distress continued to spread throughout his body with its roots in his heart.
“I’m taking you to the hospital right now,” Brian said quickly.
However, one of her hands was still holding on to his tightly, and her fingers almost looked as if they were pressing into his bones.
Brian did not feel any pain as all his attention was on her.
“Grace, let go so I can take you to the hospital,” he said.
‘Let go? No, I can’t let go, because…’
“I… I won’t let go. I… I’ll take you up there. You must hold on to me…” Grace said these words almost unconsciously while in the throes of the pain in her head.
When Brian heard these words, his body became rigid suddenly. For a split second, his blood seemed to stop flowing. He even stopped breathing.
‘These words… These words are…’
His dark phoenix eyes stared at the person in front of him, and his face moved closer to hers as he tried to listen more closely to the vague mumbles coming out from her mouth.
Why would she say that? Only ‘she’ would know this!’
ust then, a voice rang out. “Brian, what are you trying to do to ny fiancée?”
The next moment, Grace’s body was swept into the arms of another man, but her hand was still holding Brian’s hand firmly. She would not let go.
Jason stared gloomily at her clenched hand, then looked down on Grace’s pale and agonized face.
“Grace, what’s come over you?” The gloom on his face turned to worry. “Is your head hurting again? Don’t worry, you’ll be alright soon. You’ll be alright soon…”
His clear and elegant voice rang in her ear. He wrapped his arms around her and held her head against his chest as if he was coaxing a child.
When had Young Master Reed ever coaxed someone like that?
Only Grace could make him do that!
‘It’s… Jay! It’s Jason calling me!’
Even though her head was still hurting and she seemed to have become a little dazed, Grace still managed to open eyes.
her
Her lashes quivered a little as her almond-shaped eyes opened slowly.
Grace caught sight of Jason’s anxious face.
“Do you have a bad headache?” Jason asked hastily.
“Let me… Rest a little…” she murmured as if leaning against him would make her headache better. “Jason, talk to me again… Alright?”
She wanted to hear his voice.
Jason pressed his thin lips together, then began to talk about what food they were having tonight, what the scenery was like, and the recent state of the international economy.
In short, he said whatever came to mind.
His clear voice was like a pair of gentle hands, suppressing her headache little by little.
Brian stood beside them, his phoenix eyes still fixed on Grace.
The three of them formed a strange stance.
After a while, Grace finally felt as if her headache had eased, and she looked a little better now.
“Has your headache eased?” asked Jason.
“Yes,” answered Grace. Her mind, dazed by the pain, was slowly recovering. Her almond-shaped eyes contracted suddenly at the sight of Brian beside her.
Grace suddenly remembered that she was talking to Brian just before she got a headache. Then as she was about to fall, her hand grabbed…
Her eyes moved to her right hand, which was still holding
Brian’s wrist.
Grace felt awkward for a moment and immediately let go. “Sorry, I only did that out of sheer desperation.”
She had just let go of her hand when Brian’s hand grabbed hers in the next moment.
“Who the hell are you?” His intense phoenix eyes were as sharp as a sword, trying to cut her open for a closer look!
Grace was stunned, and Jason’s hand had already grabbed
Brian’s.
“Let go!” Jason said coldly.
Brian did not care about Jason. His phoenix eyes were still fixed on Grace. “Who the hell are you?!”
