Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Grace looked up in a daze, trying to see the man she was holding!
His eyes were still closed and he was still in the throes of a headache. His teeth were biting his lower lip hard, and blood gushed violently from the cuts.
‘Don’t… Don’t bite your lip so hard.’
‘Does he know how much it hurts me that he’s bleeding?’
“I’ll… stay with you. Stop… thinking about those memories. No matter what happens, I’ll stay with you… Jay… I’ll stay with you… till the end of time…”
Grace murmured as her lips approached his. She just wanted him to stop biting his lip so that he would not bleed anymore…
Her lips kissed his.
Their blood fused…
‘Jay… Jay…
‘I’ll stay with you… till the end of time…’
‘Whose voice is that? And who’s saying they’re going to stay with me till the end of time…’
The voice seemed to be pulling him back from his agony, making the pain fade away…
Jason’s violent movements slowly stopped, and his eyes, which had been closed the entire time, slowly opened.
When he saw the pale face in front of him, he froze as if nothing around him existed anymore and she was the only one in the whole world.
She was trying to catch her breath, and there was a streak of red blood at the corners of her lips. She was saying… “Jay, don’t be scared…”
‘Don’t be scared? But does she know the state she’s in right now truly frightens me?’
“Grace!” Jason shouted hoarsely.
Grace’s eyes finally closed wearily, and intense fatigue swept her whole body. Even though she fainted, her hands still clung to Jason and did not let go.
“Young master Reed, you…” Terrence froze. “Are… Are you conscious now? Does your head… not hurt anymore?”
“No.” Jason held Grace and carefully pulled her hands that were holding him off. “I’m very conscious now!”
Dr. Joseph came forward and said, “Mr. Reed, although you’re awake and your head no longer hurts, you’d better get sedated and have a good rest. Although your hypnosis failed, next time…”
“I won’t continue with the sessions.” What Jason said surprised both Dr. Joseph and Terrence.
Terrence said in confusion, “Young master Reed, what… What do you mean? Are you not going to get your memory back?”
Jason’s eyes stared intently at the woman in his arms. “Yes, there’s no need for that…”
‘Because I already remember everything.’
However, the memory was so painful!
Two hours later, Secretary Wang, who was in prison, looked at the small note in his hand with a playful smile on his face. He muttered, “If you were still alive, would you want Young Master and Grace to be together or be forever separated, Old Master? It would be interesting if Young Master recovers his memory…”
Grace felt as though she had entered a long and deep sleep. In her sleep, someone kept calling out her name. “Grace… Grace… Grace…”
It was Jay calling her!
‘Oh yes. Jay!
‘How is Jay doing? Is he alright? He…’
Grace suddenly opened her eyes and saw a bright yellow light. She heard that familiar voice. “Grace, you’re finally awake!”
The next moment, that familiar face entered her line of sight.
“Jay, this is…” Grace tried to sit up, but her bones seemed to hurt and she gasped in pain when she moved.
Jason said quickly, “Don’t get up. Lie down. We’re in the hospital.
You’re injured. You need to do some tests and rest for a few days.”
‘Injured?’ Then, Grace recalled what had happened. “What about you? Are you okay? Does your head still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” said Jason.
Grace said with a shudder, “Jay, don’t resort to such a method again to recover your memory. I was scared to death when I saw you like that. Do you know how scared I was that something would happen to you?”
“So you’d rather get yourself hurt?” said Jason as he took Grace’s hands. Even though her hands had been applied with ointment, they were red and swollen, looking worse than ever.
“How are… my hands?” asked Grace.
“Since you were unconscious, the doctors could only do a preliminary examination and take your X-ray. You didn’t hurt the bones, but the nerves in your hands need further examination,” said Jason.
“There’s no need for further examination. It’s only a minor injury,” she said nonchalantly. She feared that further examination would lead to him knowing the truth about her hands and make him feel worse.
“Don’t ever do that again. Terrence said you were hugging me so hard that you spat out blood!” said Jason. Fortunately, the test results they got after she was admitted to the hospital were all fine. Otherwise, he would never forgive himself.
Grace slightly pressed her lips together and said, “If I were the one suffering from that sort of headache, you’d hug me like that too, wouldn’t you?”
He was silent. She endured the slight tingling in her hand to caress his cheek. There was an indescribable contrast between her swollen red fingers and his handsome face.
Grace said, “Jay, we’re husband and wife. I believe you would do anything to save me if I were in danger. Similarly, I’ll save you too if you’re in danger!”
Jason’s eyelashes quivered slightly. “Aren’t you scared that I’d accidentally beat you up, or even…” He could not continue.
It was because the very possibility of that made him nervous, even if it was a hypothetical scenario.
Grace said, “I’m scared, but I’m more scared you’ll sink into remorse when you wake up. Jay, promise me, don’t be obsessed with the memories you lost. Let them come to you naturally, don’t force it. Just because you’re okay this time doesn’t mean you’ll be okay next time.”
Jason stared at the person in front of him. Moments later, he slowly said, “Okay, I promise you.”
‘Because it won’t happen again!’
Sean did not expect Lily to see him again and tell him that William had been kidnapped!
“Kidnapped?” Sean was stunned.
“Yes, the kidnapper also sent a message. They want me to prepare a ransom of one million dollars before they’ll let him go!” Lily showed Sean a text message on her phone as she spoke.
However, the phone number that sent the text message was fake, so there was no way to trace it or call it back.
“We’ll call the police and have them find him!” said Sean as he pulled out his phone.
“No!” Lily snatched Sean’s phone from his hand. “The kidnappers said they’ll kill him if we call the police! I can’t take that risk. William’s my only child and he’s also your only child, Sean. You’ve never done your duty as a father. Are you going to disregard William’s life now?”
Sean stiffened. The child was his flesh and blood. How could he not be anxious and worried? It was just that… “I don’t have that much money, and there’s no way I can get one million dollars even if I borrow from others and beg. Reporting it to the police is our only way right now.”
Lily said, “It’s not impossible to get one million dollars! Grace and Jason can easily fork out one million dollars!”
