Madeleine guarded Ophelia behind her, glared at Gracie, and said, “Gracie, aren’t you burning bridges too quickly? Ophelia was called by you all. Now that Tassach has woken up, you’re driving her away. What do you take Ophelia for? Why are you so shameless to think that she Ophelia should come and go as you please?”
Gracie glanced at Madeleine with disdain, and said, “Madeleine. Ophelia, and I are talking, can you not interfere?”
Madeleine placed her hands around her chest, mockingly smiled, and said, “I’m really sorry. Ophelia usually talks to people. She doesn’t understand animal language, so I can only speak for her. Please don’t mind Miss King. However, I think there are not many people like Miss King who has a human face and speak in an animal language.”
Gracie's face was slightly distorted.
“Who are you calling an animal?” Gracie said gritted her teeth.
Madeleine shrugged and said very badly “I’m really sorry. Whoever responds to me is who I’m talking about.”
Gracie raised her hand, and Madeleine looked scared, “Miss King, don’t be impulsive. You're in a ward. If you make trouble, guess whose side Tassach will stand by?”
Gracie’s raised hand did not fall for a long time, and her pretty face was even more distorted.
Madeleine clapped her hands and said carelessly, “Miss King, it’s better for women to be gentle. If you are willful and savage, no man can tolerate it regardless of how beautiful you are. Tassach, don’t you think so?”
Gracie was taken aback and looked at the ward. As expected, Tassach, who was supposedly asleep, had already woken up and looked straight at Ophelia.
Gracie’s heart was aching.
She forked out so much for Tassach, yet it still couldn’t match a look or a kind greeting from Ophelia.
In his eyes, it was as if Gracie had never existed.
Gracie felt that she was like a fool. It was the first time, she went all in for a man, abandoning all reservations a woman should keep and confessed to him, yet he was always indifferent and let her jump up and down like a clown.
Tassach shook his head and said, “I just don’t want you to be tired. You've been taking care of me round the clock. I am very grateful. When I have recovered, I will invite uncle, aunty, and you for a meal in return for your favor to me. If they agree, I will recognize you as my god sister. As long as you ask in the future, I will help you out.”
Each word from Tassach was like knives poking Gracie’s heart. She fell in love with him at first sight. During these days when he fell ill, she took care of him without any explanation and even dropped her self-esteem for him to find Ophelia. She even endures that there was another woman in his heart. For this love, it can be said that she has lowered her noble self-esteem to the dust, but the man in front of her wanted to recognize her as his god sister.
God sister.
That was the most ironic thing she has ever heard. If she wanted a godbrother, many men are willing to be. Tassach clearly understood her intentions, but he proposed something like this was simply ironic.
Gracie’s heart was numb from being poked. She sneered, “Tassach, I love you. I even let go of my self-esteem for you. I have forked out so much for you. I don’t want to be your god sister. Can you stop being so hypocritical?”
Gracie’s words made the atmosphere drop to a freezing point.
