He could only show his vulnerability in front of her. “That woman left my father and me the day after my birthday.”

She was stunned. After a moment, she realized that by ‘that woman’, he meant his mother.

“I thought everything was so wonderful at the time. It was like a sweet dream. On my birthday, she stopped arguing with my father and bought me a small cake, but the next day, the sweet dream shattered…”

His voice hung in the air, and he spoke in a calm, unconcerned tone as if he was just talking about a common topic. However, each word he said made Grace feel depressed.

“No matter how my father and I begged, she never looked back and just left. My father wouldn’t have died if she hadn’t left… Tell me, why did she give me a sweet dream only to shatter it so ruthlessly?”

He muttered. He finally heaved as he said the last sentence.

Grace gently wrapped her arms around his back, hugging the man in front of her. How long had he kept these words in his heart?

She had always known that his mother was a wound in his heart.

It was a good thing he was willing to talk about it now. At least, he was no longer burying this pain at the bottom of his heart but was willing to share it with her.

“Jay, from now on, your birthdays won’t be fragile sweet dreams anymore. Every birthday from now on will be a beautiful memory of us,” she said.

His body suddenly stiffened. Her voice and embrace seemed to soothe all his uneasiness.

‘My Grace…

Because of her, he felt so good… to be alive.

If he had not met her, then that was all to life. He would be nothing but an empty shell. There would not even be joy or sorrow. He would only be ‘alive’ without ever experiencing the joys of life.

“Grace, don’t shatter my dream,” he murmured.

“It won’t be a dream. The beautiful times we have are all real.

It won’t be as unreal as a dream,” Grace said seriously.

“So Jay, your dreams won’t shatter. We’re just going to have more real beautiful times together.”

He slowly looked up, and those eyes gazed deeply at her. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply. “Okay, it won’t be a dream anymore.”

Would their future be what he imagined it to be? He only hoped that there would never be a day when his dream shattered!

If it was only a beautiful dream for her to stay with him forever, he wanted to live in this beautiful dream until he died!

Grace received a phone call from Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney, saying that Lina had woken up. She rushed to the hospital immediately.

Grace’s eyes turned red as she looked at her best friend in the ICU through the transparent gla** wall.

Although she had now woken up, she could only open her eyes and give some reactions. She could hardly speak, let alone tell them how she got hurt!

When Grace arrived at the hospital, Lina had only woken up for a while and fell asleep again. After all, she was still too weak.

“Now that she has woken up, she’ll get only get better from here on out,” Grace said to Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney.

Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney nodded. Mrs. Sweeney could not help crying again as she said, “You weren’t here, so you didn’t see her opening her mouth as soon as she woke up. She was trying so hard to say something. We had to read her lips for a long time before realizing she wanted to ask about

Hadwin.

“We had to lie to her that Hadwin is safe, but he has a lot to deal with the Stephenson family, so he’s not in Emerald City and will come back to see her in a few days. It was only then she finally calmed down.

“I don’t know how Hadwin is doing right now and whether he’s dead or alive. If something has happened to him, how would Lina overcome it in her current condition?”

Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney looked worried.

“Hadwin Stephenson isn’t dead,” said Grace.

“What? He’s not dead? Have the police found him?” Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney were immediately stirred up.

“I… just heard someone saw him in J City, but the police haven’t officially found him yet, so… Let’s just wait for the police to inform us,” said Grace.

She deliberately omitted Hadwin Stephenson’s intimacy with the ‘real’ heiress of the Jackson family, not wanting Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney to be more worried.

After all, they had not figured out everything yet. No one knew what on earth was going on with Hadwin Stephenson.

However… Lina had woken up. They still had to find a way to contact Hadwin Stephenson to set Lina’s mind at rest!

When Grace went to see Lina the next day, she had just fallen asleep.

These days, Lina would be awake for one to two hours a day. The rest of the time, she would be asleep. It would take some time before she could stay awake longer.

Kyla Corbyn came a little earlier than Grace and saw Lina when she was awake through the transparent gla**.

Kyla Corbyn had always thought that Lina’s temper was like hers back then, so when she saw Lina like this, her eyes could not help but redden.

She had led an unfortunate life. Even if she only had six months left to live, she still hoped Lina could be alive and well!

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to help Lina with her current illness.

After visiting Lina, Kyla Corbyn and Grace walked out of the hospital together.

“Kyla, how are you doing? Shall I look for another specialist for you?” asked Grace, feeling concerned.

“It’s alright. My condition is stable so far. Besides, the doctor I’m seeing now is an expert in this,” said Kyla Corbyn.

Grace had looked it up previously and found that Kyla

Corbyn’s doctor was indeed a famous expert in treating liver cancer. “You must tell me if you don’t have enough money for treatment.”

“Okay, got it.” Kyla Corbyn smiled. Although her life had been bumpy, she was lucky enough to meet a friend like Grace in the last year of her life!

“By the way, how’s Nelson? Is he okay? Does he like the toys. and clothes I bought him last time?” asked Grace.

“He likes them very much. He has been playing with the toys you bought him these days. He’s also reluctant to wear the new clothes you bought him. He said he’ll wear them the next time he goes out to play.”

Grace laughed. She recalled wanting to wear her new clothes every day when she was little, which was the exact opposite of

Nelson.

“Then I’ll bring him out to play next time to see how he looks in his new clothes,” said Grace.

“Sure,” said Kyla Corbyn. Then, she seemed to think of something, and a hint of dejection flashed in her eyes.

They walked to the hospital’s entrance. Grace wanted to see

Kyla Corbyn off, but Kyla Corbyn hurriedly said, “No thanks. I still have some errands to run today.”

“I’ll take you there, then,” she said.

“It’s okay. It’s more convenient for me to take the subway!” With that, Kyla Corbyn quickly scurried toward the subway’s entrance near the hospital without waiting for Grace to reply.

After entering the subway station, Kyla Corbyn breathed a sigh of relief and gave a wry smile.

How should I tell Grace? Am I going to tell her that during a kindergarten activity, Nelson had said that his dream was to go to the amusement park with his daddy?

‘Am I going to tell her Nelson had painted a picture of a family of three with his parents holding his hands, looking happy and sweet?’

One time when she went to pick up Nelson, the kindergarten teacher had implicitly told her that Nelson lacked paternal love and hoped she could talk to Nelson’s father.
