She thought that misfortunes never came singly.

When she arrived at the hospital, Lina was already out of the emergency room. She lay in the emergency room bed with an intravenous drip attached to her hand.

“The doctor couldn’t find out what was wrong with her. Since she’s pregnant, they can’t run some tests but they’ve drawn her blood and taken an ultrasound!” said Mr. Sweeney.

Mrs. Sweeney also added, “The doctor needs to observe her condition first, but… But Lina and the child’s heartbeats are unusually high. How… How long is the observation going to take?”

Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney looked worried.

Grace quickly comforted them. Looking at her best friend who was still in a coma, she felt like she had gone back to five years ago when she saw Lina lying in the ICU.

However, she could now protect Lina better!

“I’ve asked Jay to contact a few specialists. They’ll examine Lina to see what’s really going on,” said Grace.

Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney finally felt a little relieved. Mrs. Sweeney even grabbed Grace’s hand excitedly. “Grace, thank you. We don’t know what we’ll do without you…”

“Lina’s my best friend. I’ll help her no matter what trouble. she’s in,” said Grace.

Just then, the blood test report came out and the team of specialists Jason arranged arrived as well. They urgently examined Lina.

When Lina woke up, she learned that something was wrong with the progesterone shot she took at the community health.

center.

There was something else in her blood that caused her heart to beat faster, thus affecting the baby’s heartbeat as well. This unknown substance would often kill the unborn child.

“How… How could something be wrong with the progesterone shot?” Lina’s face was full of disbelief. Then, her hands nervously covered her belly. “Baby… My baby…”

“The baby’s fine, but you’ll need to stay for further observation. After all, it was injected through an IV, so the effects are more direct,” said Grace, trying to alleviate the problem.

“How did this happen? How could there be something wrong with the progesterone shot?” Lina burst into tears. What she was worried about was not her health but the baby and whether the baby would be okay.

It was at this moment she realized how important the baby in her belly was to her.

Grace a**ured her friend, saying, “I’ll find out what on earth is going on here. All you have to do now is have a good rest and not cry. Crying too much will affect your health. Your baby can only survive this if you’re well-rested.”

Lina quickly wiped her tears. “Okay, I won’t cry. I… I’ll rest well. I won’t let this baby leave me.”

Grace waited until her best friend fell asleep before leaving the hospital. Jason’s car was already waiting at the hospital entrance.

Jason got out of the car and walked up to Grace. “Are you going home now?”

“Yeah.” Fatigue flashed through Grace’s gaze. “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you I could go home by myself?”

He said, “I wanted to pick you up. Are you tired?”

“A little,” she said.

The two of them got in the car, and Jason asked, “How’s Lina doing?”

“She’s alright. She just needs some rest and to get the drug. out of her system. But we don’t know its effects on the baby yet. That needs further observation,” said Grace.

“Katherine Jackson did it,” Jason said out of the blue.

“What?” Grace’s eyes widened in surprise. “Katherine Jackson? You found out?”

“Yeah, it wasn’t that hard. But Katherine Jackson has gone into hiding and we can’t find her,” said Jason.

A harsh countenance flashed across Grace’s eyes. ‘How dare Katherine Jackson lay a hand on Lina? I’ll make sure she pays for this!’

“Can you find her?” she asked.

“As long as she hasn’t left Emerald City, we’ll be able to find. her. But it’ll take some time,” Jason said as he looked at the rare angry expression on Grace’s face. “Does Lina’s incident make you this angry?”

“Of course. How dare Katherine Jackson use such despicable means on Lina? She obviously wants to kill the baby in Lina’s belly with the shot! Doesn’t she know how important a child is www to a mother?” snapped Grace.

Jason looked down slightly and smirked. “But for some mothers, children are nothing more than a tool they can discard at any time.”

Grace froze, instantly realizing what she just said had reminded him of his mother again.

“Mrs. Watts has been regretting it, and she’s been thinking about you all these years- soid Grace.

He interrupted her and said, “Don’t mention her again. I don’t want to hear about her.”

She wanted to go on but paused and said no more.

The children were already asleep when they got back to Reed Residence. Grace and Jason went back to their bedroom. When Jason changed out of his clothes, she caught sight of the scar on his chest.

She felt another pang in her heart. The scar was so glaring that it represented the pain he had suffered.

‘With current medical technology, he could have removed a scar like that with a laser procedure, but he kept it on his body. Did he do that to remind himself not to forget the pain his mother caused him?’

“Jay, is this really going to make you happy?” Grace asked abruptly.

“What?” He turned to look at her.

 She walked up to him and raised her hand to gently stroke the scar on his chest. “Are you really happy never letting go of the past?”

He stiffened and gave her a complicated look. “What’s the matter? Are you going to plead for her again?”

“I want Mrs. Watts to get what she deserves, but I also want you to let go of the past. You’ll never be happy if you don’t move on,” she said.

“I’ll be able to move on when the woman gets the punishment she deserves,” he said, pulling her hand down and turning around to enter the bathroom.

Grace pulled out her phone from the side of her body and frowned at the text message she received today.
