He asked her if she knew what she did wrong?
Wrong?
What was right?
What was wrong?
“I’m not wrong.”
She said.
Her heart ached to the extreme!
He actually asked her if she knew what she did wrong?
Ha ha!
“President Shaw, if you say that I’m wrong, then I can only be wrong. But you asked me if I knew I was wrong.” She moved her chin proudly dizzying him, her smile was like the Grace in Shanghai years ago, “I don’t know what I’m wrong at.”
Hatred!
Her hatred for Wallis. She can’t continue to lie to herself. Grace told herself, so what if she goes crazy again, so what? At most, she’ll be sent back to that God-forsaken place!
“Let me go!” She lifted her head and locked her eyes on his body, “Let me go!”
Did she want so much to leave him?
Let her go? To let her leave with Leon?
When Caden recalled of her speaking in her dreams, “Leona, Leona”, he was furious. He looked coldly at the woman on the bed, “Give up that thought as soon as you can. The matter between us, I will continue as long as I want to!”
Want to leave? Want to go to be with that chap Leon and have a blissful life together?
Not in your wildest dream!
Grace shuddered uncontrollably but still raised her chin, “Caden! You just asked me if I knew I was wrong. I just remembered,” she smirked, “I am wrong!”
Her eyes were sorrowful but she hid these sorrows in the deepest place possible. She looked at him and said to him seriously, “I’m wrong and absolutely wrong. My greatest mistake was to fall in love with you! I’m wrong and will have to change. I will change!”
Her serious expression and the way she said repeatedly that she was ‘wrong’, was the way she was those years ago. The manner in which she repeatedly stood in front of him and repeatedly proposed to him, it was identical!
His eyes were fixated on her, her look… those years when she proposed to him seriously… the scene with that proud woman. But now this woman used the same manner and expression to tell him that ‘she was wrong!’!
She said that she was wrong and she will change!
What does she want to change?
A strange pain struck his heart and he felt flustered which he almost couldn’t contain!
He knew that this damn woman can’t wait to leave him and be with that Leon!
I won’t allow it!
“Grace, haven’t I said that even if I don’t want it, others can’t touch it?” Caden’s voice was surprisingly calm but at this moment, the soft and calm voice was horrible.
Grace’s breathing started to feel stifled and she grabbed the blanket tightly. Unknowingly she held her breath as her eyes opened widely, staring at the person who was walking closer and closer to her.
Click-clack… click-clack…
The sound of leather soles stepping across the floor. Grace’s heart tensed up.
The man slowly walked towards her and she felt the immense weight pressing onto her until she couldn’t breathe.
As he was closer and closer to her, she became increasingly pale. But she kept her chin high, not willing to lower her head.
Her pale face slowly turned a sickly red. Her fingers grabbed the blanket tightly and held it towards her… No matter how she covered, it couldn’t hide her fear of him.
The man’s jet black eyes could see her every action, every expression… that she was scared of him!
Grace was scared of him!
When he realized this, his eyes were furious!
He hadn’t noticed that the fact that Grace was afraid of him was even more difficult for him to accept compared to Grace cursing Wallis.
“Whether was it three years ago or three years later, Grace,” His slender tall body was already in front of her. He looked down and coldly said, “You could never determined what happens between us.”
Caden stubbornly determined Grace can only love Caden and Grace can only belong to Caden. Every bit of Grace belonged to Caden, inclusive of her looks and how she looks!
Her stiff body was like air being sucked out all at once as she collapsed in his embrace, letting Caden hug as he wished.
Caden, you won again. Grace softly closed her eyes and hid her pain.
“Don’t use the rest of your life to curse Wallis,” The man warmly said, “Since when do you have any remaining days?” Your remaining days belong to me and had nothing to do with anyone else… He continued with another sentence in his mind.
He doesn’t know that he had hurt her to the bones.
She smirked, “Yes, you are right.” She wanted to struggle, she wanted to hate Wallis with all her might, she wanted him to see her hatred, in the end, she said, “Since when do you have any remaining days”, and it suppressed all her anger and hate to her heart’s deepest regions.
Since when does she have any remaining days… where are the remaining days that she can curse and hate Wallis?
So, all your curse and hurt can’t be realized.
Today she used her courage to struggle but in the end, she was too tired to struggle.
Caden, I give up, I won’t struggle anymore. I’m so tired that I’m drained of all strength to resist and struggle…
Her thoughts of abandonment crept into her head and she decided not to struggle anymore. She was like a puppet and let him be tired of it all. She will wait till he doesn’t even want to look at her and discard her into a dust-filled corner. When that happens, she will be able to escape.
“Grace, don’t curse Wallis, she is already dead and you are still alive. It’s not worth it that you become so spiteful and bitter because of a dead person.” A dead person is not worth turning that damned woman into a spiteful and bitter person, it’s not worth it!
Grace trembled and at that moment, she heard that there was a hint of concern in Caden’s words. But… how can it be? Ha… she smirked, the left half of her face was numbed with pain and her heart had sunk into the deepest part of the ocean, chilling to the bone.
The next second, Grace found herself hanging in the air and before she realized what was going on, she stretched out her hand to grab the man’s neck.
When he felt the hands around his neck, Caden’s lips smiled and he carried the woman out of the room, “Time to leave the hospital.”
He carried the woman and walked towards the lift.
“I can walk by myself,” Grace said as she struggled to get down.
But he carried her tightly in his arms, “Be good.”
In his embrace, Grace shuddered for a moment when she heard these two words and her eyes had the look of fear and didn’t dare to move.
Caden put Grace in the front passenger seat and buckled her seat belt, “I’ll send you back to the hostel.”
On the road, Grace was tensed… as she was afraid of this person.
