“If I go to Brian, at least he won’t treat me as a game object…” Her voice continued.

‘Stop it. Stop it..! He did not want to hear any more from her about the possibility of her returning to Brian…

The next moment, he lowered his head and pressed them against her lips so hard that he swallowed all her voice.

Grace was stunned. She did not expect Jason to kiss her so suddenly. ‘What’s this? We’ve already split up!

‘I don’t want a kiss like this!’

Grace struggled desperately.

However, the harder she struggled, the harder he kissed her. He even held her hands firmly and would not let her move a muscle.

When the kiss was over, he pressed his forehead against hers, and in a hoarse voice, he begged in a mutter. “Don’t… go to Brian, alright?”

The voice pulled her back to reality from the kiss. “Jason, who are you to say that to me?”

The brightness in his eyes had become anger.

He glared at her as she glared back at him.

There seemed to be tight tension in the air.

Suddenly, a trace of pain rose from her knees and Grace could not help frowning. Her body unconsciously bent slightly, and her hand touched her knees.

Of course, he noticed it. “What happened to you?”

“No… Nothing…” She bit her lip slightly and endured the pain in her knees.

Since the last time the pain in her knees flared up, it would come and go these days. Sometimes it was mild, and sometimes it would hurt a lot.

He suddenly lifted the skirt of her long dress.

“Ah!” She was shocked. The next moment, her two bandaged knees caught his eye.

“What’s wrong with your knees?” he asked with a frown.

“It’s just an old problem. It’ll be over in a minute. Mr. Reed, now that I’ve given you the photo, can you go now-” she had to started to say

She could not even finish her sentence when he suddenly carried her in his arms.

Before she knew it, he had carried her out of the rental house.

“Jason, what are you doing? Put me down,” she cried out, not knowing what he was up to.

His thin lips were pressed together in a straight line as he carried her to where the car was parked not far away.

“Put me down!” She was struggling to escape.

“Keep shouting it yo people come and watch,” he said. His heart was filled with a fury that even he did not understand.

‘What am I mad about? Am I mad at her for ignoring her sore knees? Am I mad at her for not taking good care of her own body?’

Soon, Jason managed to carry Grace to the car. The driver, who had been waiting in the car, immediately got out and opened the door as soon as he saw

Jason.

Jason got into the back seat of the car with Grace in his arms. He told the driver,

“Go to Mingde Hospital.”

“No thanks, it’s just a minor pain. I don’t need to go to the hospital for it,” Grace said quickly.

“Start the car,” Jason said coldly to the driver.

The driver started the car and drove toward the hospital.

Grace knew that once Jason decided to do something, he would see it to the end.

Therefore, she kept quiet. Since there was no way for her to escape, she could only roll with the punches and accept whatever came.

After all, over the years, what she had learned most was patience and acceptance.

He was slightly surprised by her sudden quietness.

She just sat quietly in the car with her slightly pale face and furrowed eyebrows. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were half-closed while her hands covered her knees. The blue veins on the back of her hand were popping out faintly as if she was suppressing the pain.

“Does it hurt?” He could not help asking.

“It’s alright. It’s not that painful,” she said lightly. After all, compared to the pain she felt from standing too long a few days ago, today’s pain was nothing.

He pursed his thin lips. “You haven’t been to Mingde for your check-ups?”

“That hospital isn’t for me,” she said. Private hospitals like that were usually only affordable for the rich people in

Emerald City.

Now, she was a mere paralegal with a salary of only 7,000 dollars a month. How could she afford to go to a hospital like that?

Besides, the problem in her joints was not something that could be cured overnight.

“That’s nonsense. I’ll have someone arrange a weekly appointment for see the doctor,” said Jason.

you to Grace was in a trance for a while. His words made her feel as if they had not broken up and he still cared about her.

“Jason, we’re already broken up, so you don’t need to arrange for me to see a doctor,” she muttered.

He stared at her, his thin lips opening slowly. “So what? I may have broken up with you, but that doesn’t mean I can’t arrange for you to see a doctor. Even if we’re broken up, I can still get you anything you want or need. Even if want a law firm, I’ll get you one.”

you Grace gave a wry smile. ‘What’s this? A

parting gift?’

Grace raised her almond-shaped eyes and looked at those beautiful peach blossom eyes. “I don’t need these things.” If she really accepted his offers, she would feel as if she was willing to become his game object for money.

He frowned slightly.

Her voice continued, “We broke up, so we have nothing to do with each other anymore. There’s no reason for me to accept any gifts from you.”

“What about you being my ‘Sis’ again? Didn’t you want to be my ‘Sis’?” he asked suddenly. Her words earlier, ‘nothing to do with each other’, were like an invisible needle that made him feel nothing but a pang in his heart.

‘Sis?’

Grace was immediately stunned. How long had it been since she had heard him call her by that name?

“I’m… not your ‘Sis,” she croaked out in a hoarse voice.

He smirked a little, and his large hand rested on the back of her hand which was on her knees. “If I say you are, you are.”

For a split second, she felt as if her heart was hit by something. ‘It hurts!’

The car drove to the hospital entrance, and Jason carried Grace all the way into the hospital.

Grace was treated by the same doctor.

After examining her knee, the doctor said, “It’s probably because you’ve suddenly stopped taking your medicine, so it’s now causing you physical discomfort. Also, you’ve caught a cold, which is causing your knee to ache from time to time. Treatment for joint problems like this is long-term. If you stop taking the medication, sometimes it’ll make things worse.”

“Give her a prescription. I’ll have her come in every week,” Jason said coldly.

“No thanks. I don’t need any long-term treatment. Just give me something to relieve the pain,” said Grace.

The doctor looked at Jason as he was put in an awkward predicament.

“Do as I say,” said Jason.

Therefore, the doctor prescribed the medicine and sent his a**istant to fetch

Just when Jason was asking the gynecologist, the same one who previously treated Grace’s uterine problems, to see her, Grace suddenly said, “There’s no need for that.”

Jason frowned slightly and was about to say something when Grace suddenly smiled. “I was treating it in hopes to get pregnant and have a child. Since I’m no longer planning to get pregnant and have a child, is there any need to treat it?”

Jason pressed his thin lips together. After a moment, he raised his hand and asked the gynecologist to leave.

Grace sat down on a couch in the VIP

room and started rubbing her hands against her knees again.

She was still experiencing some pain in her knees. According to her experience, a pain like this would go on for two to three hours if it was going to last a short while and seven to eight hours if longer.

Just then, Jason suddenly squatted down in front of Grace. Then, he placed his hands on her knees and began to ma**age them.
