Kyla Corbyn widened her eyes and looked at her in surprise. “You’re… married and pregnant? To Jason?”
Grace replied, “Yes. Come on, get in the car first.”
Kyla Corbyn was still looking at Grace after getting into the car. It was as though she was still trying to digest the information she had just received. Who would have thought that so many things had happened after just a few days of not seeing each other!
“By the way, Kyla, your case will be heard in court in a month. Besides myself, I’ll find you another lawyer who’s good at such cases so you’ll have a better chance of winning. However…” Grace hesitated a little. “I’m not entirely sure I can win the case, but I can probably keep public opinion under control and keep this case and Nelson out of the media.”
Kyla Corbyn was smart. She understood right away after Grace said so. “Are you going to ask Jason for help with my case?”
Grace smiled faintly. “It’s nothing to Jay. I haven’t mentioned it to him yet, but I think… he’ll say yes.” Even if… he wanted her to pay some sort of price, then… she would pay if she could.
She wanted to repay Kyla and also protect Nelson.
Kyla Corbyn said hesitantly, “Grace, I know you mean well, but—”
“No buts, so let’s leave it at that,” said Grace.
“Did you marry Jason of your own accord?” asked Kyla Corbyn.
“There are various reasons, but I wasn’t reluctant to do so. You know I’ve always been alone, and I’ve always wanted a home of my own. Now that I have a family, I’ll have three lovely children soon. I really think it’s nice.” Grace had a gentle look on her face.
Kyla Corbyn was stunned. “Three?”
“Yeah, I’m carrying triplets,” said Grace.
Kyla Corbyn looked shocked. She had given birth before, so she naturally knew how painful pregnancy was. She already found it difficult with one child, let alone three.
“It’s going to be hard when your tummy gets bigger,” said Kyla Corbyn.
“I know. I’m mentally prepared for that,” said Grace. Her hand gently pressed against her belly while her eyes were full of expectations for the little lives inside.
Kyla Corbyn thought about it. Since Grace had married Jason, he would certainly find the best doctors and hospital and make all the necessary preparations, so she was relieved,
Once they arrived at the hospital, Grace took Kyla Corbyn to Lina’s ward. Lina was still lying in the ICU ward. Kyla Corbyn could only look at the comatose Lina through the transparent gla**.
Kyla Corbyn only felt heavy-hearted when she saw Lina in such a state.
Grace stayed beside her. Looking at her best friend with thick gauze on her head, she secretly made up her mind that she would find out who hurt Lina!
However, the good news today was that Lina was getting better and would probably be able to transfer out of the ICU in the next couple of days. Then, it would not be long before she could have a second operation.
Grace sent Kyla Corbyn home after visiting Lina. However, the driver suddenly stopped the car when they were halfway there. Grace was immediately stunned. Soon after, she found that their car had been surrounded by several other black cars.
At that moment, a figure got out of their car and walked to Grace’s car. The bodyguard, who was sitting at the front, also got out and stopped Brian at the car door.
Brian glanced faintly at the bodyguard. The men behind him went straight over, and several of them immediately broke into a fight.
Even though the bodyguards Jason had a**igned to follow Grace had all been carefully selected, Brian had more men with him, so Grace’s bodyguards were subdued in no time.
Brian walked to the car door near Grace and opened it. Grace caught sight of his handsome but haggard face. “Grace, I have something to say to you,” he said hoarsely.
Grace frowned and said, “You could just say whatever you wanted to say. Why do you have to use such a way?”
“If I don’t do this, I’m afraid I’ll never have a chance to talk to you,”
Brian smiled wryly and said, “I just want to find a quiet place and have a few words with you, okay?”
His voice was bordering on pleading.
Grace pressed her lips as she looked at the state Brian was in. It reminded her of how he had risked his life to save her and ended up with blood all over his head.
After all, he had saved her and the children’s lives.
“Okay, I can go somewhere quiet to talk to you, but please let them leave.” She pointed at the bodyguards who were subdued, the driver, and Kyla Corbyn.
“Okay,” Brian said readily.
“Grace!” Kyla Corbyn said in worry.
“Kyla, don’t worry. I’ll ask the driver to take you home first. I’ll be fine,” said Grace. She turned and said to Brian, “Let’s go.”
Several cars sped away after Grace got into Brian’s car.
Kyla Corbyn sat in the backseat, anxiously watching the departing car. The bodyguard quickly took out his phone and reported the situation to Jason!
Brian’s car drove to his private mansion. Grace’s expression changed slightly as she pa**ed the open space in front of the mansion.
She had once stood here all night. At that time, he had been her only hope. She had desperately hoped that he would meet her and help her.
At that time, he was probably the only lifeline she could hold on to.
However, she was not even given the chance to speak to him when she finally saw him!
Brian seemed to guess what Grace was thinking and muttered, “It was my fault that day. I shouldn’t have avoided you. I shouldn’t have caused you so much pain by doing nothing when you needed help so badly.”
“It’s all in the past,” Grace said lightly as she lowered her eyes.
However, he felt a pang in his heart when she said those words. ‘It’s all in the past now.’
“What about me… Am I in the past too?”
Grace turned her head and stared at the man sitting beside her. “It’s all in the past to me, so you don’t have to dwell on it.”
He broke into a chuckle. “I don’t have to…” His pain, regrets, and remorse were all unnecessary?
The car had already stopped at the entrance of the main house, and Brian said, “Get out of the car. I have something to show you.”
