Chapter 117

117
Upstairs, in the master bedroom, Brian stood in front of the window and looked at the heavy rain. pouring outside.
He could hear the sound of thunder and rain outside, as well as the occasional whistling of the wind. Amidst the clamor, there seemed to be the dull sound of wheels rumbling.
Brian took a deep puff of his cigarette. He could not see anything, but the image of Grace walking in the rain appeared in his mind.
He turned his head and his gaze, fell on an umbrella in the cabinet. The hands by his side clenched and unclenched, clenched and unclenched again.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out, suppressing the complicated emotions in
his heart.
‘Brian, what are you thinking? It’s all because of Grace that Louise left so upset. How can you still have compassion for her?’ he thought.
He closed his eyes and the image of the little girl carrying him out of the mountain path with all her might from more than ten years ago appeared in his mind.
‘Louise has been so kind since she was a child, while Grace’s family only cared about money!’ Brian thought.
Brian seemed to have found the perfect excuse for himself, so he walked back to the bedroom in peace. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Louise.
“It’s raining heavily, Close the doors and windows when you sleep at night.”
Louise did not reply. Brian looked at his phone for a while before getting up to take a shower.
The sudden downpour seemed to be ready to drown the world.
In just a few seconds, Grace was drenched.
She dragged her suitcase and walked for about 0.6 miles. Her footsteps were heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
A blinding white light flashed and Grace raised her hand to block the headlights. The car braked only a few centimeters away from her knees.
Grace’s b*dy went weak and she fell to the ground dispiritedly.
The owner of the car got out nervously with an umbrella and shook Grace who was on the ground. “Hey! Hey! Don’t scam me! I have a dashcam! I didn’t bump into you!” “Hey! Wake up!” The owner of the car patted her face. Seeing that she did not move, he quickly

carried her into the car and sent her to the nearest Southside Hospital.
Grace vaguely heard a lot of noise around her.
She seemed to be in the hospital and heard a doctor talking. “The patient has a fever. Let’s get an IV to cool her down immediately…”
Grace’s brows furrowed tightly. She wanted to open her eyes and tell them that she was pregnant and could not get an IV, but her eyelids were so heavy that she could not open them at all.
A slight pain came from the back of his hand. A tear fell from the corner of Grace’s eye and she fainted.
When she woke up again, all she saw was white. She had a splitting headache and her thoughts gradually returned. The smell of disinfectant filled her nose.
She suddenly sat up from the bed. Her violent movements shook her head so much that it felt like it was about to explode.
“Grace, you’re awake.” A gentle voice sounded in his ear.
Grace looked up in surprise.
Justin sat beside her. He was wearing a white coat and looked like he had been guarding her all night.
Justin, why are you here?”
“You fainted in the rain and happened to be taken to my hospital. If I hadn’t happened to see you on the night shift, I’m afraid your child would have died.” When Grace heard his words, tears welled up in her eyes and fell.
“Justin, thank you. You saved us again.”
Justin took out a tissue and gently wiped her tears. “If you really want to thank me, take care of your b*dy.”
He looked at the luggage in the ward and hesitated for a while before asking, “Have you left Brian?”
Grace looked away as Brian’s cruel words surfaced in her mind.
