Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

However… Grace disregarded the condition of her hands to hold him today. She refused to let go till the last moment, and that was good enough for him.

He would remember the events today until his death. He would remember how the woman he loved was willing to save him in such a way oven though she might never fall in love with him.

Brian looked at his right hand as he spoke. His left hand could not help gently touching his wrist.

Grace had saved him at the cost of her hands, and he would be devoted to her for the rest of his life.

If she ever needed him to do anything for her, he would be willing to do it.

After seeing Brian’s actions, Jason’s eyes darkened instantly. “Even though Grace saved you today, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just because you saved her and Mason first.”

Brian looked up at the person in front of him. “Really? I don’t think she would leave me to die even if I hadn’t saved her and Mason first.”

That was just the kind of person she was!

She was born with a strong sense of justice in her heart. Why else would she choose to become a lawyer? Even after experiencing such ups and downs in life, she still chose to continue her career as a lawyer.

He was attracted to her not only because of their childhood experience, but also her immutable sense of justice and serene elegance.

These qualities were precious to those who were used to the schemes and plots in rich and powerful families.

If it were only because of the obsession he had as a child, then he would have fallen in love with Hua Stella when Hua Stella pretended to be Grace!

Jason immediately snapped. “That’s enough! So what even if she won’t leave you to die? You’re no more than a childhood friend to her.”

“Yes, I’m just a childhood friend. But if you hadn’t tampered with things, would I have mistaken someone else for her? I could have found her even sooner. If we went back in time, do you think she would have chosen-”

Before Brian finished speaking, Jason had already rushed forward and grabbed his collar. “Brian, we can never go back in time! I’m the one Grace has always loved!”

“But does she know you’re so despicable? Jason, I only lost because I’m not as despicable as you!” Brian said defiantly.

Just then, the door of the consulting room opened and Dr. Russell came out with a tired face.

The two men rushed up to Dr. Russell. “Dr. Russell, how’s Grace?”

“There’s nothing we can do for now. The state of her hands is horrible. We can’t use a needle knife at all. We can only operate on her, but I’m not too certain about this decision,” said Dr. Russell.

“Is there another doctor who can treat her hands?” asked Jason.

“I’m afraid there’s no one in the country, but I’m not too sure about abroad. The world is so big, after all. But the girl’s hands will only worsen if they aren’t operated on within a week. They can no longer be operated on by then,” said Dr. Russell.

Jason’s face instantly turned extremely grim.

Brian trembled, and there was not a trace of color on his face.

“Dr. Russell, how confident are you in this?” Brian asked with a quiver in his voice.

“Ten percent,” said Dr. Russell.

The two men’s hearts instantly sank. Ten percent of success. She was in critical condition!

Jason first arranged for Grace to be admitted to the best private hospital in tMason Swansonty, while they stuck to Dr. Russell’s conservative treatment plan.

However, he was still hesitating about the surgery. He… wanted to at least wait until Grace woke up so she could make the decision herself.

When Grace woke up, she saw Jason sitting by the bed. Her first words were, “How’s Mason? Has he woken up? Has Lily given him the cure?”

She asked a series of questions all about the child and none about herself.

She was only worried about their child!

“Mason’s fine. They’ve pumped his stomach. Lily never said anything about a cure, but the police found out that Lily had bought sleeping pills at the pharmacy in advance. It matches the doctor’s speculation,” said Jason.

“Sleeping pills?” Grace was stunned. “Did Mason take a lot of them? How long will it take for him to wake up?”

Jason said, “He didn’t take too many. He should wake up tomorrow. I’ll ask the doctor to give Mason a more detailed examination by then! Alright, stop worrying. The doctor said he’s okay.”

With a sigh of relief, Grace began to notice that she was in an unfamiliar room with several pieces of equipment, some of which had wires attached to her fingertips.

“Is this… the hospital?” asked Grace.

Jason said, “Yeah. Stay here for a couple of days. There’s equipment here that can tell us what’s exactly going on with your hands.”

He told her about Dr. Russell’s diagnosis.

When she heard Dr. Russell was only ten percent sure about the operation, Grace laughed bitterly. “I’m familiar with Dr. Russell’s medical skills. If it were another doctor, I’m afraid I won’t even have that ten percent of certainty.”

“Do you want to go for the operation? Even if it’s successful, we don’t know whether there’ll be any after-effects. If we proceed with the conservative treatment, at least some of your fingers… can still move.”

Jason said the last half of his sentence with much difficulty.

He had plenty of money, but he could not make her hands normal again. He might even have to watch her hands stop moving completely.

Grace looked down at her hands, which were wrapped in so much gauze that she could not move at all. “I still want to go for the operation. Even if it’s only a ten percent chance, I’m still going to try! Otherwise, I’ll regret it!”

Jason was silent for a long time before finally saying thoughtfully, “Okay!”

His answer carried so much emotion.

“If the surgery fails, I’ll find world-renowned doctors for you,”

Jason said hoarsely as he took Grace’s hands gently.

If she really could not move her hands anymore, then he would be her hands. He would give her everything she wanted with his hands.

“Jay, it’s okay. I can take it. I’ve already mentally prepared myself to lose my hands.” she consoled him when she saw the worry on his face.

He stared at her. “Already? So you knew your hands were in bad shape, but you didn’t tell me?”

She froze. “I…”

Jason said, “Grace, I don’t want to be oblivious to something that even Brian knows. I don’t want you to keep me in the dark even if you’re afraid of me worrying or feeling guilty.”

His eyes seemed to see through what was on her mind.

“I’m sorry.” Grace bit her lip slightly and unconsciously tried to lift her hand to touch his cheek. However, her hand had just moved slightly when she realized that both her hands were covered with gauze. Some wires were also attached to them to collect and read data.

“I don’t know how Brian knows about my hands. I never told him about it. Maybe he learned about it from Dr. Russell…”

She tried to explain, but he leaned over and abruptly kissed her on the lips.

He was kissing her, but what Brian said today filled his mind again.

He had never felt it was wrong to do whatever it took to reach his goal. It was what Old master Reed had taught him.

It was not the process that mattered but the result, and the result was what he had expected at that time.

However, he was now afraid that she would learn how despicable he was. She already knew that he had coldly looked on as she was sent to jail back then, and it had once made her so resistant toward him. If she found out about the rest of the things, would she think he was too despicable?
