Kyla Corbyn filled her prescription at the hospital. On their way back, Grace dragged her to the mall, saying she needed Kyla Corbyn’s help as she wanted to buy some toys for Nelson.
“Nelson already has a lot of toys. Mr. Harto also gave Nelson some toys before this,” said Kyla Corbyn.
Grace said with a smile, “Kids won’t complain about having too many toys. By the way, let’s also buy some winter clothes for Nelson later. The weather is getting cold, and it’ll be winter soon.”
After picking out the toys, Grace went to the children’s clothing floor with Kyla Corbyn.
However, when Grace had paid and was ready to leave with Kyla Corbyn after picking out the clothes, two figures walked into the shop.
Grace was immediately stunned when she saw the two.
What a small world. They did not expect to meet Martin Weiss and Paisley Daniels here.
They were stunned too. It seemed they did not expect to meet them here eithe..
Martin Weiss’s gaze fell on Kyla Corbyn’s body, and he could not help frowning. She did not look very well today. Her face was dull, and her thin body only wore a coat that did not look very warm.
Clothes like that were fine indoors, but they could not protect you from the wind when you were outside.
‘Won’t this woman put on thicker clothes when she goes out?’
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Paisley Daniels grunted and held Martin Weiss’s arm more intimately as if declaring her territory. “Although we had some unpleasant encounters earlier, I’m not petty. Besides, Nelson will be my son too. I’m going to buy Nelson some clothes later. Kyla Corbyn, you can take them back. Otherwise, the kid would have no decent clothes.”
She said it as if it was for the child’s benefit, but her tone sounded like she was doing some charity work just to condescend.
“No thanks,” Kyla Corbyn said coldly.
“Kyla Corbyn, I’m being kind-”
Kyla Corbyn interrupted abruptly, “Kind? Paisley Daniels, neither I nor my son need your kindness. I’ll hand over Nelson’s custody, but he will never be your son!”
She would not let her son call this woman ‘Mom’!
“You…” Paisley Daniels glared at her. ‘If I didn’t want to give Martin Weiss a good impression, I would have rushed over to fight her! But… this woman wouldn’t live long either!’
Paisley Daniels thought maliciously, ‘As long as this truth is well hidden, then Kyla Corbyn is doomed to die!
‘I’ll be free of worries once Kyla Corbyn is dead!’
“Have you had enough? Paisley’s only being kind!” snapped
Martin Weiss.
Kyla Corbyn looked up, and her gaze fell on Martin Weiss’s face. ‘If I… had really saved him in the past, isn’t it pathetic that the man I saved is now chiding me for the woman who framed me?’
Her gaze now contained a self-mocking sadness, making Martin Weiss’s heart surge with an uncomfortable feeling. Her gaze was pressing his heart like a mountain. It was so heavy that he gasped for breath.
“What’s the matter? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Paisley has been so patient with you. What about you? How have you repaid her?” Martin Weiss said coldly, wanting to sweep away the heavy feeling.
“Martin Weiss, you’re really blind! You don’t know who really helped you!” Grace could not stand it!
If it were not for the fact that there was no substantial evidence of the bone marrow donation and she would inadvertently alert Paisley Daniels if she said it in front of her, she would’ve shouted out the truth to Martin Weiss right now.
Martin Weiss was stunned, and he stared at Grace while saying, “Ms. Cummins, I… should call you Mrs. Reed now. But even if you’re Jason’s wife, it doesn’t mean you have the right to criticize me.”
Grace looked at Martin Weiss without flinching or a trace of fear. “Martin Weiss, one day, you’ll find out how wrong you are!”
Kyla Corbyn pulled Grace’s arm, worrying that Grace and Martin Weiss would get into a conflict. After all, Grace was pregnant with three babies in her belly.
“Alright, Grace, you don’t need to get so worked up for me. It’s not worth it,” said Kyla Corbyn as she looked at Martin Weiss lightly.
Her eyes no longer had the self-mocking sadness in them. She just appeared as though she was looking at a stranger.
“Martin Weiss, all I ask is for you to be nicer to Nelson.” She had nothing else to ask for.
She had spent too much love and hatred on this man. She had enough of it now. She did not want to waste any more feelings.
on this man.
Kyla Corbyn finished speaking and grabbed Grace, saying,
“Grace, let’s go.”
When Kyla Corbyn and Grace walked out of the store and toward the escalator, Martin Weiss was still staring at Kyla Corbyn’s back. His heart was filled with a burst of panic.
It was as if he was losing something he did not want to admit.
However… what were these feelings?
Paisley Daniels looked up and saw Martin Weiss’s grim look. She suppressed her anxiety and told herself, ‘Kyla Corbyn is going to die soon. When that day comes, Martin will completely be mine! I have nothing to worry about!’
In the evening, Grace asked Jason about the evidence of the bone marrow donation again.
“We’re looking for the doctors and nurses who handled Kyla Corbyn’s bone marrow donation. But it’s been a long time, and none of the people I’ve found so far have any recollection of it. They can’t tell whether it was Kyla Corbyn or Paisley Daniels who donated the bone marrow.”
“Is there… any other evidence?” Grace asked again.
“There’s Shane Currey who was Paisley Daniels’s boyfriend at the time. He’s a doctor at the hospital and may know something. Besides, he’s been in contact with Paisley Daniels again recently,” said Jason.
“Contact? What for?” Grace asked curiously.
“I’m not sure, but I’ll have someone keep an eye on Shane Currey,” said Jason.
“Then hurry and look it up! The longer we delay, the more likely Kyla’s cancer cells will spread!” said Grace. After all, if Kyla’s cancer progressed to a more serious extent, even a liver transplant would not help!
Jason said, “Got it. You’re so concerned about her, when are you going to care about me?”
“I… do care about you!” she said a little guiltily. It seemed she had been so busy with Kyla, Lina, and the three babies recently that she had been paying less attention to him.
“Really?” Jason smiled as he held Grace and sat her on his lap.
She cried out in surprise and subconsciously put her arms around his neck.
“How much do you care about me?” His face was close to hers, and his beautiful, alluring eyes gazed at her lovingly and gently.
His eyes were like the mountain lake on a spring day, and she could not help drowning in them.
She blushed slightly and said, “I’ll… make really good preparations for your birthday. Besides, I already have your birthday present in mind. You can’t dislike it when I give it to you.”
His eyelashes fluttered a little. “No matter what you give me, I won’t dislike it. But my birthday…” He hesitated a little. “I don’t want anyone else there. Can it just be the two of us?”
She was slightly stunned. “Just the two of us?”
“Yes, I don’t need anyone else for my birthday,” he muttered with a glint of gloom in his eyes.
“Why is that?” she could not help asking, not missing the gloom in his eyes.
He pressed his thin lips together and buried his head deep into her neck. She could feel his breathing become heavy.
It was as if there was something heavy hiding in his heart.
“Jay, we’re married now. You can tell me anything. Even though I can’t help you, at least I can hear you out,” Grace said gently.
He held her a little tighter. To him, she was the only person in the world he could rely on.
