Lina bit her lip. How could she put it? After all, it was Grace’s privacy. The possibility of Grace getting pregnant was too low. She had gotten injured so badly in prison, and though she had undergone treatment after getting together with Jason, they broke up shortly after that. Grace did not want to go through. that kind of treatment anymore.
Facing Hadwin Stephenson’s gaze, Lina said, “In short, there’s no way Grace can be pregnant now, and Hadwin… I promised Grace that my child will be her child, and she’ll be the mother of our child too. You won’t blame me for making this decision on my own, right?”
Hadwin Stephenson looked at the person in front of him and smiled gently. “I won’t.” It was because he knew what kind of friend Grace was to her.
She was probably the kind of friend she could give her life to!
It was a blessing to have found such a friend.
Lina hugged Hadwin Stephenson’s waist. “Hadwin, it’s great to have you!”
He gently caressed her hair. “I’m going back to the Stephenson family’s house to deal with those matters in two days. Wait for me in Emerald City. This time, I’ll have bodyguards protect you in the dark. I won’t let you encounter that kind of danger again.”
‘Are we… going to be separated again for a short time? But I don’t want to part with him. “Why don’t… I take a few days off and go with you?”
“Don’t be childish. I can’t solve them in a few days. Even if I’m fast, it’ll take two months!” Only in two months could he close the net and make sure everything was surefire.
“Oh,” she replied dully.
“Wait for me. I’ll marry you once I get back,” Hadwin Stephenson said and gently kissed Lina on the lips.
She was the person he loved the most, and he wanted to give her a bright future.
When Grace went to the hospital the next day, she met Chase Harper again in front of the inpatient department of the hospital.
Chase Harper said, “What a coincidence. Are you here to visit your friend who’s hospitalized?”
Grace said, “Yes, I’m going to visit Nelson in pediatrics after visiting my friend. How about you? Are you here to see Nelson today?”
Chase Harper nodded. “I told him about Transformers yesterday. I have a few Transformer toys from when I was little but had never thrown them away, so I wanted to bring them to Nelson.”
Grace’s eyes lit up. ‘Transformers?’ She remembered she had been interested in Transformers for a while when she was a child. However, such toys were a little too expensive back then. When her grandmother finally bought one for her, she ended up breaking it. Since then, she had never bought another Transformers toy.
Grace said, “I’ve played with a Transformers toy before, but it broke afterward.”
“Really? Which one did you play with?” Chase Harper opened his bag and showed Grace the Transformers toys in it as he spoke.
Grace took a look. These were not just a few. There were a ton of them! There were at least a dozen at a glance.
Grace found the same toy she had played with last time- Bumblebee.
“This was what I had,” said Grace as she looked at the Bumblebee in her hand. A touch of nostalgia flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.
“You can have it then,” said Chase Harper.
“But aren’t these for Nelson?” asked Grace.
“There are so many more for Nelson. He won’t miss this one. You can keep this one as a souvenir,” said Chase Harper.
‘Souvenir… Grace looked at the Bumblebee in her hands. She had begged her grandmother for this toy for so long. She had no concept of money back then, and she had no idea that her grandmother had used the money she normally saved to buy it for her.
Grace’s heart softened as she thought of her grandmother. “Thank you,” she said with a chuckle and accepted the Bumblebee.
Chase Harper smiled after seeing that she was willing to take it. Even though he knew they could never get together, he was happy inside.
They smiled at each other, unaware of the eyes that were peering down from the floor of the inpatient ward.
Stella was in Brian’s ward when Grace got there.
Grace saw Stella almost every time she came. However, Stella would look at her with some joy as if she was rejoicing in other people’s misfortune.
“Grace, you seemed to be having a good time chatting with a guy downstairs today. Who was that man? Your friend? Did he bring you here today?” said Stella.
Grace gave her a faint glance. “Just a former colleague who coincidentally ran into me at the hospital.”
“What a coincidence…” Stella deliberately dragged out the words, giving people the impression that there was something ambiguous.
“So what are you trying to say?” asked Grace.
“No-Nothing. I just thought you and your colleague seemed close,” said Stella.
Grace snapped. “Do my former colleagues and I have to act like we dislike each other, ignore each other, or bash each other? I wonder how you greet your cla**mates from school, your co-stars, and film crew members when you meet them?”
Stella was immediately speechless and could only shyly stop speaking, but a hint of malice still flashed across her eyes.
Grace did not bother to pay attention to Stella either. She turned to Brian and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Brian said, “Yes. I can get out of bed and walk now. Can you peel me another apple?”
“Okay,” said Grace. The nearby Stella also quickly said, “Brian, why don’t I peel the apple for you? Let Grace rest.”
“Stella, go and check if my test report has come out,” said Brian.
‘You can just ring the bell for the nurse!’ thought Stella. He was making it clear that he wanted to get her out of the room and be alone with Grace.
It was the same as last time!
Almost in anger, Stella left the room while Grace sat down by the bed with an apple and a paring knife. She began to peel an apple for Brian.
“Did you run into your former colleague downstairs?” Brian asked casually.
“Yeah, you’ve seen him before. It’s Chase Harper. You met him when I had that incident at the film studio,” said Grace. She answered Brian casually without being defensive.
‘Chase Harper…’ Brian’s eyes glimmered. He still remembered that she had gone missing that time. Chase Harper’s face had looked so anxious. That kind of care and concern… He could see that Chase Harper was probably interested in her.
“Yes, he was worried about you,” Brian said lightly.
“He’s a nice man.” A faint smile appeared on the corners of Grace’s lips. She remembered that Chase Harper came to the hospital today to bring those Transformers toys to Nelson. She did not expect Chase Harper to keep such vintage toys so well.
Although new versions of Transformers toys were released all the time, Chase Harper’s vintage Transformers were not necessarily available even if you had the money. Nelson must be delighted to see them.
Chase Harper was so considerate!
“Nice man?” Brian raised his eyebrows a little. A sour feeling slowly spread in his heart. ‘Is she smiling because of Chase Harper?’
Grace said, “Yeah, he’s nice. He’s honest, kind, and doesn’t judge people. It’s nice to be friends with someone like him. People like him are rare these days.”
One could say that she admired Chase Harper’s qualities. Even though she did not love this man, she still wished him a good life.
Everyone at the Sanitation Service Center judged her when they found out that she had been to prison, but Chase Harper did not mind her sitting down with him.
How many ordinary people were able to do that?
It was only through those setbacks and being treated differently that such kindness became more valuable.
Grace handed the peeled apple to Brian. He took it but did not eat it right away.
“Why aren’t you eating?” asked Grace.
“I was thinking about how seldom I hear you say people are nice.
