Grace got quite a fright. She walked up and gently pushed open the door. What she saw was a spacious ante-chamber with a framed black and white photograph of a man on the wall right ahead.
He was a very handsome man, somewhat bookish looking. He had some gentleness in his eyes. The man looked a little like
Jason, but Jason’s beauty was more stunning.
Maybe it was because of their eyes. The man’s eyes were more like Old Master Reed’s eyes, which were different from Jason’s amorous eyes
Grace had an answer in her mind. This man was probably Jason’s father.
She just did not expect that his father was such a gentle-looking man.
She only knew from Jason that his mother had left him and hist father. She had not thought much of it back then. After all, she used to see cases like this all the time at the law firm. This also happened in many case studies.
However, now when she saw the picture, everything felt different.
woman ever regret that the man just died like that?
“What brought you here?” Grace jumped when a voice suddenly rang in the quiet space.
She immediately turned her head and saw Jason standing a short distance away, his deep black eyes staring at her.
“I’m… I’m looking for you,” she replied.
“Looking for me?” He raised his eyebrows slightly, approached her, and said, “What do you need?”
She bit her lip. There was nothing at all. She was just afraid that something might have happened to him.
“Hmm?” His eyes were still on her, waiting for her reply.
She hesitated a little before saying. “Nothing. It’s just that after you took me to my room, I saw that you didn’t go back to your room but headed to the stairs. I wondered if there was something wrong with you. Uhh, If you’re all right, I’ll go…”
She said and turned to leave.
The next moment, however, a pair of arms encircled her from behind. “Are you worried about me, Sis?”
Grace’s whole body seemed to be enveloped in his scent, and for a moment she did not know what to say.
Worried? Was she worried about him?
She seemed confused. Was it because he saved her tonight? Therefore, instead of thinking of him as Jason tonight, she was taking him as Jason and worried about him?
Grace was thinking about it when suddenly his breathing seemed to fasten in her ear. There was a faint muffled moaning in his throat. His arms, which had encircled her, gradually loosened.
Grace turned around and saw that Jason was now pale with beads of sweat on his forehead. He was holding his hand over his upper belly.
She shuddered, remembering suddenly that she had seen him like
“You seem to remember my old faults, Sis,” he muttered, and a smile crept from the corner of his mouth. However, the paleness of his face and the apparent suppression of pain in his eyes somehow made his smile seem vulnerable.
Grace quickly helped Jason up and looked around. There was nowhere to sit, so she went inside. There was a sofa in the room. She helped him to sit down on the sofa. Then, she drew a piece of tissue from the coffee table in front of the sofa and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
“Is the pain sudden?” she asked.
“I didn’t pay much attention to the pain earlier. I thought it would go away soon. I didn’t expect it to hurt this much all of a sudden,” he muttered. “I didn’t expect you to remember my old faults, Sis. It seems that you care about me, don’t you?”
Of course, Grace did not answer that question. Did she care…?
She did not even know the answer to that.
“Where’s your medicine? Do you have it with you?” she asked.
“I don’t like them very much. I’ll just wait for the pain to pa** and I’ll be all right,” he said.
“You don’t like them? I bought you medicine last time, didn’t you…”
“Because you bought it. How can I not eat what you bought?” Come to think of it, he took his medicine on time every day.
Grace was speechless. The problem was that she used to live in an urban village previously and there was a pharmacy nearby. There was no 24 hours pharmacy around Reed Residence at this time of night!
The servants in the mansion must have gone to bed by now. The only people still awake were probably the security guards here.
“Well, is there security here at night? Is there someone who can take a break and drive out to get some medicine?” asked Grace.
“Are you going to make me take my medicine again, Sis?” Jason asked with some difficulty. The pain in his stomach brought chills to his body. He was also sweating more and more.
“What if the pain gets worse if you don’t take your medicine?” asked Grace. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Grace pulled out her phone and browsed the online pharmacy.
Although the pharmacy was a little far, it was all right if she paid enough service fees. Besides, the medicine would arrive in 20 minutes. That way, it was faster than waiting for the security to buy the medicine.
Grace thought for a moment and decided to place the order through her phone. She ordered the same medicine she had bought for Jason last time. After placing the order successfully, her eyes once again fell on him.
He was already curled up into a ball. His lips were pressed together as if to muffle the murmur that was about to burst from his mouth, but it made his breath sound a little more subdued.
His eyes were now closed. His long fan-like lashes cast a shadow beneath his eyes.
The man who ruled Emerald City looked like a vulnerable and helpless child right now. It was as if he had to stop the pain on his own.
Grace somehow felt a pang in her heart. He was the last person she should take pity on, but right now, she could not control this heartache.
lacked a dead body and corrin.
On a desk right ahead was the same photo that was hung on the wall of the hall. In front of the photo was a spirit tablet, on which
‘In loving memory of Kim Reed’ was written.
Was Jason’s father called Kim Reed? He was just like his name.
His name made him feel like some kind of gentleman.
Next to it was the photo of a woman. The woman in the photo was very beautiful with a pretty face and long black wavy hair. She had gorgeous amorous eyes-they were exceedingly fascinating and charming.
Grace found that the woman’s eyes looked a lot like Jason’s eyes.
Was this woman… his mother?
There was a great deal of doubt in her mind now, but the pressing task was to find something to relieve his stomachache!
Suddenly, her eyes lit up when she saw the water dispenser in the room. She walked up to it, filled a gla** of warm water, and walked over to Jason. “Here, drink some water. Perhaps you’ll feel a little better after drinking some warm water.”
His eyelashes quivered a little, and he slowly opened his eyes to stare at her. “Do you wish I’ll hurt less, Sis?”
