“Go home. I want to be alone and not have anyone disturb me tonight,” Jason said coldly.
However, a pair of arms instantly wrapped around him from behind. She pressed her face onto his back.
He instantly stiffened and heard her say, “I won’t plead for Mrs. Watts, but my mentor and his wife are kind to me, Jay. You don’t understand how helpless I was when I lost my memory and was struggling in a big city with a child. I had no past and could only fight to keep myself and my daughter alive. It wasn’t until I met my mentor and his wife that I finally felt like I could take a break.”
After a pause, she hugged him a little tighter as if that would give her the courage to continue speaking. “I know you want Mrs. Watts to pay for what happened back then one way or another, so why don’t we do it with the law’s help? Why don’t we let the court decide what to do with her for her negligence in causing you a serious injury and for her actions in causing your father to choose death?”
She did not want his hands to be stained with his own mother’s blood. It was not the way it should be.
Sometimes, hating a person too much also revealed… one’s. reluctance to let go!
Jason slowly turned around. He looked at Grace and said, “What if I don’t want to? It’s too easy for her just to be judged by the law. Can her years in prison pay for my father’s life?”
Grace froze. She could not help biting her lower lip. “Then what do you want to do to her?”
“Since it’s a life, then she should pay with a life, shouldn’t she?” he asked coldly.
Her face paled, and under the moonlight, her face was even paler. There even seemed to be fear in her almond-shaped eyes.
“Do… Do you want her dead?” she asked in a mutter.
“Shouldn’t I?” he asked, feeling a sting in his chest from the frightened look in her eyes.
‘Is she… afraid of me? Is she going to stay away from me too?’
“It may seem right to you, but I think we have no right to decide whether another human lives or dies.” She shook uncontrollably as she said this. “Jay, don’t decide whether your mother lives or dies, okay? And don’t get blood on your hands. That shouldn’t happen to your hands.”
She took his hand as she spoke. They were fair, clean, and defined. The contrast was even more striking when compared to her hands, which had slightly crooked knuckles.
“Jay, I’ve suffered… the feeling of having someone else decide whether I live or die. It made me… really miserable. I… I almost died in that car accident that Lily arranged. If I had climbed out of the car a little later, the car would have exploded and I would have died!”
Her body trembled as her hands shook. He could feel all of it.
Jason’s eyes flashed with pain and remorse.
The case was a source of great pain for her, and it was the same for him.
He did not answer her, and she stubbornly kept him company as they stood at the place his father died. She held his hand tightly as if afraid that he would leave again and not let her find him.
THE?
Jason and Grace returned to the who Grace’s skin that was exposed outside her clothes was now cold. Jason said, “Take a nap. I’ll wake you up when we reach Reed Residence.”
“You won’t… go missing again, will you?” she asked worriedly as it was only by chance that she managed to find him this time.
He said, “No, so go to sleep.”
She was rea**ured, and she was indeed tired after this long day. Grace slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.
Jason looked at her sleeping face with a thoughtful look in his dark eyes.
The car drove slowly toward Reed Residence and soon arrived.
Instead of waking her up, Jason carried her straight back to their bedroom and gently put her on the bed.
“Grace, I can’t let that woman go, so don’t plead for that woman anymore, okay?” he muttered in a voice that sounded like a warning and a plea.
When Lina saw Grace, all she saw was her best friend’s sad face. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
After all, in Lina’s opinion, her best friend was now the mistress of the Reed family and Jason was so in love with her. Besides, she had also found her child. One could say that everything was going well for Grace right now. She should have nothing to worry about!
“I’m facing some troubles,” Grace said as she hesitated a little.
“Can’t Jason help you solve them?” asked Lina.
Grace smiled bitterly, “Someone has always been kind to me, but that person offended Jay and Jay won’t let that person go. They did something really bad to Jay, and I’m not sure whether to plead for them or not.”
Lina also frowned after hearing that. “It seems to be a real dilemma. Is this what it means by not being able to have it all?”
“What about you? How are you doing now?” Instead of talking about her troubles, Grace changed the subject.
“Not bad. I eat good food and sleep well every day. I don’t have morning sickness that much anymore. I guess the baby is being considerate of me, ” Lina said with a smile as she patted her belly.
“What about… Hadwin Stephenson? Are you sure you won’t contact him? Is he really ignoring you and the baby?” asked Grace.
Lina suddenly felt a little guilty. “Uh, he… probably doesn’t know that I’m keeping the baby.”
“What do you mean?” Grace froze.
“I… said I wanted to have an abortion in front of him, so he probably thinks the baby is gone,” said Lina.
Grace was immediately speechless when she heard that. “In other words, Hadwin Stephenson thinks that you aborted the baby when you didn’t?”
“I… guess so,” muttered Lina.
“But if you do this, have you ever wondered what if Hadwin Stephenson insists on wanting the baby back if he learns about their existence one day?” asked Grace.
Lina immediately said, “The baby’s mine. I won’t give them to anyone!”
Grace said, “But he can sue and get the baby’s custody. Didn’t Martin Weiss also sue to take Nelson’s custody from Kyla?”
Lina instantly turned pale, and she also stopped eating her dessert. “Could he… get custody?”
“If he really wants to do that and hires the best lawyers, there’s a 50-50 chance that he can get the baby’s custody after they turn two,” said Grace.
Lina gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands.
