He had not only offended Jason but also Young Master Hart.
“Did you already know what I was going to do?” Grace’s voice cracked as she spat out the words.
“Yes,” he answered her.
“Then why did you deliberately wait for us here? Why didn’t you expose me from the very beginning?” she asked.
He stared at her as he tucked a strand of hair that was beside her cheek behind her ear, something he always did. Then, he leaned over slightly and said in a soft yet cold voice, “Because I wanted to see what choice the woman I love the most would make.”
She felt her heart sink. It was as if it had sunk into a bottomless pit.
“But it turns out the person I love the most would rather choose to hurt me,” he said.
“I just don’t want you to regret it!” said Grace.
“Regret?” Jason sneered. “What do I have to regret? Will you regret it? Will you regret doing this in vain?”
‘Regret it? But I had no choice. She had to let Mrs. Watts get treatment first so that there was still a chance to fix things.
“Take these two back,” Jason commanded the men around him.
“No!” Grace grabbed Jason’s hand, “Mrs. Watts can’t go back. She needs treatment! Or she’ll die because of her high fever!”
you want to help her so badly?” He glared at her coldly.
“I know you hate her, but I don’t want you to kill your own mother no matter how much you hate her! Jay, Mrs. Watts regrets what she did back then. What about you? Do you want to regret it someday?”
He said firmly, “I’ll never regret it! Grace, leave this matter alone and go home with me. I can pretend this never happened!”
This was his best compromise!
Grace bit her lip. “What if… I won’t go home with you?”
His eyes darkened, and his voice grew colder. “Have you thought this through?”
“Jay, we can’t delay Mrs. Watts’s treatment any longer. I have to send her back to L City, or she’ll die! I can’t watch her die and do nothing!” she said bitterly.
“So you’re going to hurt me anyway, aren’t you?” he muttered.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…” It was all she could say. Then, as if she was too scared to meet his eyes, she turned around, sped back into the car, and started it.
She wanted to send Mrs. Watts back. She could not let Mrs.
Watts die!
“Grace, can we leave?” Old Lawyer Watts asked nervously.
“I’ll try,” said Grace. She was not sure herself. Besides Jay standing there, there were also barricades set up at the front. Could she really break through them?
Jason just stood there, staring coldly at Grace through the windshield.
When Grace started the car, he just stood there without moving!
‘Get out of the way. Jay, get out of the way!’
Grace kept screaming in her head. If she could send Mrs. Watts back to L City, she would do everything she could to get him to forgive her.
Just this one time! She just needed this one time! She would never do anything to betray him again!
As the car got closer to him, Grace tensed.
Several of Jason’s men tried to stand in front of the car, but Jason snapped coldly, “No one is allowed to come close!”
The men instantly froze.
Jason seemed to be waiting for Grace’s car as if to see how close she could get to him.
“Jay, get out of the way, okay? Please, get out of the way…” Grace kept on praying, but her car eventually stopped just a meter away from him.
If she went any farther, she would have hit him!
‘Is there really no way I can leave with Mrs. Watts?’ Groce stared at the man out of the window who was still standing there, looking at her from afar.
Her face was already in tears.
‘What should I do to make him get out of the way and let me send Mrs. Watts back to L City?’
Old Lawyer Watts seemed disheartened too. “Grace, I don’t think… we can go back to L City!”
However, Grace did not seem to hear him. She just looked straight at Jason, who was standing in front of the car.
Tears almost blinded her eyes as her hands clutched the steering wheel. They seemed to be the only ones left in the whole world!
His eyes were so cold. They were piercing her heart like frozen swords.
She wished to never hurt him if she could and that she would never break her promise.
‘Is there really… no way we can leave today?’
Just when she thought that she could not leave, she suddenly saw him walk to the side.
‘Is he… really walking away?’ Grace was shocked. Then, his men removed the barricades that were in place and the road to L City was unimpeded once more.
Her eyes were full of disbelief as she slowly turned to look at Jason, who was standing on one side.
His face was expressionless. Even the eyes that were looking at her seemed to hold no emotion.
