    Chapter 144


    “As long as Mr. Reed agrees, Miss Cummins, you can leave the hospital whenever you wish,” the


    doctor said.


    Grace felt an unspeakable feeling. So, she even needed Jason’s consent just to leave the hospital?


    “Okay, got it,” she replied.


    After the doctor and nurse both left, she walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.


    Reflected in the mirror was a delicate face on which were a pair of crescent-shaped eyebrows and


    almond eyes, a well-shaped nose, and pink lips. Under the light, there seemed to be a slight glimmer


    over her face.


    Such a face would be considered pretty good in an ordinary crowd. However, around people like Jason,


    there was never ack of beauty, and she seemed inadequate byparison.


    What exactly did Jason like about her? Grace smiled bitterly. Was it just because he had found her


    mistaking him as a homeless person at the start amusing? Was that why he had continued to keep up


    this brother and sister charade?


    She raised her hand and gently touched her lips. The memory


    of him kissing her shed in her mind.


    She still remembered that Lina had once said, “Grace, do you know that your lips are very beautiful?”


    “Beautiful lips?” She had never paid much attention to her lips. She only knew that her lips were not


    ugly, but she did not feel that they were anything special.


    “Yes, it’s very beautiful. Your lips’s shape give people an impulse to kiss you. Uh… it’s the kind of that


    most men would


    probably want to kiss.”


    At that time, she had only thought that Lina was making fun of


    her. What kind of a description was that?


    But now, when she thought of how Jason had kissed her on the mouth, she felt a burning hot sensation


    on her lips.


    “Don’t think about it anymore, don’t think about it anymore!”


    Grace repeated this sentence to herself. Since Jason had said that he would give her a choice that day,


    he would surely keep


    to his word.

    A man like him would not break his promise.


    “Let’s just treat all of this as a dream.” It was just a dream. In her dream, she had met a man named


    Jay. They had


    cherished each other and had a happy time together. When


    she woke up from her dream, she was still alone, just like

    before she had the dream.


    Grace walked out of the bathroom and began to change into the clothes she had been wearing the day


    she hade to


    the hospital.


    As for the rest, it was just her bag and her mobile phone.


    There was nothing else.


    Grace sat quietly on the sofa of the hospital room and waited for Jason.


    In the Reed Residence, Terrence walked to Jason’s side and said, “Mr. Reed, Miss Cummins is waiting


    for you in the hospital room. She said that she wants to be discharged from the hospital.”


    Terrence’s tone was cautious. Ever since Mr. Reed had left the hospital yesterday, he had been staying


    in the house and had not gone to the hospital.


    It could be said that he was acting abnormally.


    It should be noted that Mr. Reed had been mostly staying in the hospital until yesterday.


    Jason pursed his thin lips tightly. After a while, he said, “Other


    than wanting to be discharged from the hospital, did she say anything else?”


    “No,” Terrence said as he watched his Boss’s face sink again.


    Terrence did not dare to utter a word. He simply waited to one side.


    Jason lowered his head and yed with a scarf in his hand. Terrence knew that this scarf had been


    woven by Grace as a gift for his boss.


    Jason casually flipped the scarf over and half-closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.


    After a long time, he finally stood up and said, “Let’s go to the hospital.”
