‘Whether it hurts or not…
“Grace…” his hoarse voice muttered. His mouth was full of that strong bloody smell.
His lips once again kissed hers.
One by one, countless kisses fell on her face and body…
His infatuation… was beyond control!
It was as if his mind was going against his body.
The more he wanted to stop loving her, the more he was unable to control his desire!
He even wanted to bind her firmly to his side so that she could never… fall in love with another man!
Grace was woken up the next morning by her phone’s alarm.
Her head was a little dizzy, and there was a sore feeling in her neck. She raised her hand and subconsciously rubbed her neck. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she froze and quickly looked around her room.
However, everything in the room was the same as usual. Even her pajamas were intact. There was nothing unusual.
She seemed to have been kissed in her sleep yesterday, and then… she pa**ed out!
‘I didn’t see who it was, but the kiss felt like… it was Jason!
‘However, nothing seems to be unusual. Did I dream of him kissing me? Did I have such a dream because I haven’t forgotten about him?’
Grace’s eyes darkened, and she lifted her thin quilt before getting out of bed.
‘When will I be able to forget that man? I thought I’d finally have a family, but it turned out to be just a dream.’
She could only start over when she forgot about him!
Grace went into the bathroom, took her toothbrush and cup, and squeezed the toothpaste onto the toothbrush. She was about to brush her teeth when out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a red spot on her neck. She immediately stiffened!
‘What’s this? Is that…
She put down her toothbrush and raised her hand to touch the red spot.
A moment later, her face reddened and paled.
‘It’s a hickey!
‘Why is there a hickey on my body?’
Terrified, she raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. Her pink lips looked particularly bright in the mirror.
‘Could it be that… last night’s dream wasn’t a dream? Could Jason have walked into my rental house and… kissed me?’
As soon as the idea crossed her mind, even she herself found it absurd.
‘Could Jason have done this? Besides, it’s not like him! He’s the one who wanted to break up, and… How could he have come over in the middle of the night to kiss me?
‘No way!’
However… the hickey on her neck looked so obvious in the mirror while the feeling of having been kissed seemed to remain on her lips…
‘It feels so real!’
When Kyla Corbyn was discharged from the hospital, Grace took a day off from the law firm to help Kyla Corbyn go through the discharge procedures. She then took a taxi to send Kyla Corbyn back to the small restaurant.
“You don’t have to take the day off. My injury is almost healed. I can handle things myself,” said Kyla Corbyn. She had few friends and relatives in Emerald City. Furthermore, her mother had to look after Nelson.
It just so happened that Nelson had to attend a specialized training cla** today, so she thought she had to leave the hospital alone. She did not expect Grace to come.
The most fortunate thing about coming to this city was meeting Grace.
Grace was putting down some of Kyla Corbyn’s personal belongings she brought back from the hospital as she said, “No patient should leave the hospital on their own. Besides, work at the firm isn’t that busy, so it’s alright for me to take a few hours off work.”
“Thank you,” said Kyla Corbyn.
“Don’t be a stranger, Kyla. If one day
I’m in trouble, I think you’ll help me too,”
Grace said with a smile.
“That’s true.” Kyla Corbyn also smiled. “By the way, I’m planning to move to G City.”
“G City?” Grace was surprised. This city was not far from Emerald City, but it was not near either. It was a three hours’
drive.
However, that city had beautiful landscapes. Although it was a tourist city, the cost of living was not high. It was about the same as the cost of living in third-tier cities in the country.
“When are you moving?” asked Grace.
“Probably in September. I need to find a place over there and find a kindergarten for Nelson. With the hearing aid on,
Nelson is just like an ordinary kid and has no problem communicating with others. So I want to find an ordinary kindergarten for him. I wonder if there’s any kindergarten that will accept him.”
Since her son was deaf, it was normal for him to go to special education kindergartens before this, but now that he was like an ordinary child, Kyla
Corbyn had the idea of doing so.
She wanted her son to grow up like an ordinary child instead of being cla**ified as differently-abled.
Deaf… She owed the boy for that!
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could only let her son wear a hearing aid. It was impossible to get her son to hear like a normal person.
“You’ll find one! Nelson is so smart and cute that everyone who meets him embraces him right off the bat. Doesn’t he get along well with normal kids too? When Aunty took Nelson to the park nearby, Nelson could get along with the other children,” said Grace.
“I hope so. I’ll just look around for more kindergartens. There’s got to be a kindergarten that would accept him!”
said Kyla Corbyn.
Just then, Mrs. Corbyn arrived with
Nelson.
As soon as Nelson saw Kyla Corbyn, he immediately flew toward Kyla Corbyn.
However, before he reached her, he remembered that his grandmother had told him that his mother was injured, so he came to a sudden halt.
“Grandma said you hurt your stomach. Does it hurt, Mommy?” The little fellow spoke clearly. His beautiful eyes looked at Kyla Corbyn’s stomach, full of worry.
His little hands seemed to want to touch Kyla Corbyn, but he seemed afraid of hurting his mother.
Kyla Corbyn looked at her son. As Nelson grew older, his eyes seemed to become more and more like Martin Weiss’s.
When she was with Martin Weiss, the man had also looked at her with worry in his eyes while asking, “Kyla, does it hurt?”
It was so sweet at that time that she even felt that it was a great blessing to find a man who loved her so much in her life.
However, she found out that this blessing was only the result of a scheme.
“I’m not hurting anymore.” Kyla Corbyn took the initiative to put her son’s hands on her abdomen. “Although it’s still wrapped in gauze, it’s not that painful anymore. I can remove the gauze after some time.”
Hearing this, the little one smiled.
He heard from his grandmother that his mother was injured and wanted to go to the hospital to see his mother right away, but his grandmother would not let him.
He could only video call his mother every afternoon.
“Stop getting hurt, Mommy. I want to see you every day,” said the little one.
Kyla Corbyn smiled softly. “Alright. I’ll try my best not to get hurt because I want to watch Nelson grow up by my side!”
Watching the mother and son interaction, Grace turned to the little one to ask, “Nelson, aren’t you gonna give me a hug?”
The little one immediately fell lovingly into Grace’s arms.
“By the way, would you like to go to the amusement park this Sunday?” asked Grace.
The little one’s eyes immediately lit up while his little head nodded vigorously.
“Why don’t I take you to the amusement park this weekend?” asked Grace.
“Won’t it be too much trouble for you?” asked Kyla Corbyn.
