‘Is he… really walking away?’ Grace was shocked. Then, his men removed the barricades that were in place and the road to L City was unimpeded once more.
Her eyes were full of disbelief as she slowly turned to look at Jason, who was standing on one side.
His face was expressionless. Even the eyes that were looking at her seemed to hold no emotion.
Grace felt a pang in her heart and mouthed silently, ‘Jay, I’m
sorry!’
Her foot stepped on the gas pedal, and the car shot out onto
the freeway!
Jason looked at the leaving car coldly. After a long time, he slowly raised his hand and placed it on his heart. novelbin

Grace drove to L City numbly, but she kept recalling the way Jay had looked at her. It was as if she had hurt him terribly.
‘Jay, just this once! Just this once, okay?’ she shouted to herself.
The car finally pulled up to L City’s First Hospital. Grace realized her face was covered in tears again somehow.
Wiping away her tears with all her might, she helped Mrs. Watts into the hospital’s emergency room with Old Lawyer Watts.
The doctor gave Mrs. Watts a preliminary diagnosis. While waiting for the blood test report, Old Lawyer Watts told Grace, “Grace, thank you for this, but you and Jason…”
“Mentor, don’t worry about me. I… I’ll go back and explain it to Jay. I’ll ask him for forgiveness.” She comforted Old Lawyer Watts but felt uneasy herself.

Grace said, “No, I have to go back to Emerald City. I want to get back to Jay as soon as possible.”
Old Lawyer Watts tried to persuade her again, but he sighed when he saw his apprentice’s red eyes and anxious face. “Okay, then. Be careful on your way back.”
“Mentor, take care. Don’t tell Mrs. Watts what happened at the freeway when she wakes up,” said Grace. She did not want to deepen Mrs. Watts’s guilt.

Old Lawyer Watts nodded, and Grace turned to leave.
She drove back to Emerald City. She was so anxious to return. She just wanted to see the man whom she had hurt severely.
