Chapter 610
After saying this, Grace pushed him away and left.
Brian stood rooted to the ground for a long time.
In his mind, he recalled Austin’s face. She was a two-month-old child.
He still remembered when she was sick and hospitalized. She had been crying non-stop, but as soon as he hugged her, she immediately stopped crying.
He could still remember her smile. It surfaced so clearly in his mind.
It turned out that she liked it when he hugged her because she was his flesh and blood!
Brian punched the tree trunk on the side of the road. Blood immediately flowed out from his joints.
He recalled the conversation he had heard in court that day. He could even imagine the image of Austin being thrown into the sea.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache so much that he found it hard to breathe.
He even felt that Louise’s death was too easy. She had killed his child, he wouldn’t even bat an eye if she was tortured to death.
Brian returned home in a daze. Jasmine asked anxiously, “How is it? Has Grace forgiven you?” Exhausted, he pinched his brow and shook his head. “Not anymore. She’ll never forgive me.”
Jasmine saw how dispirited he was and could not help but ask, “Brian, what happened?”
“The child is mine, but the child is gone. I only found out today that Austin is my child…”
Jasmine looked at him in shock. After a long time, she comforted him, “Brian, listen to me. It’s precisely because the child is gone that you should pull yourself together. There will be another child after the child is gone.” “Grace has suffered too much. We have to make it up to her.”
Brian looked at the ceiling in a daze. He did not know how to face Grace now.
Jasmine thought for a moment and said, “How about this? I’ll think of a way to help you.”
After a few days, Grace met Jasmine when she got off work.
“Nova, I haven’t seen you in a long time. Why don’t you come and visit me?”
Grace’s nose turned sour. She smiled bitterly and said, “Mrs. Francis, I’m sorry. You should call me Grace. I actually had another motive for getting close to you back then.”

Jasmine’s heart sank when she heard that. She quickly went forward and held her hand. “Don’t say that. Brian has let you down. I’ve never blamed you. Even if I knew that you’re Grace, I don’t blame you. You’ve suffered so much in your life. How could I blame you?”
“Stop calling me Mrs. Francis. You were married to Brian and I
vel
acknowledged you as my goddaughter. As long as I’m alive,
you’re my goddaughter.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive Brian. I don’t care about you and Brian, but you can’t disown me because of him!”
Her words made Grace’s eyes sting. She lowered her eyes and smiled through her tears. “Mom.”
Jasmine also smiled and asked, “Where do you plan to go for the holidays?”
Grace shook her head. “I don’t want to go anywhere.”
“Won’t it be boring if you don’t go anywhere during such a long holiday? You’ll rot at home.” Jasmine took her arm and said, “Let’s go eat first. We’ll discuss where to go later, okay?” “Okay.”
After dinner, Jasmine had a serious discussion with her about where to go.
In the end, the two of them decided to go to the Xelta Snow Mountain.
The day before the holidays, Jasmine had already packed her things and went to pick Grace up from work.
Grace went home and packed some clothes. The two of them set off for the Xelta Snow Mountain.
