    Chapter 202


    Was she not anxious to no longer have any ties with Jason? After all, his existence to the previous her


    was like a nightmare. However, just now… She had actually thought about him saving her!


    “Why were you at the hospital?” Brian’s voice abruptly


    sounded in the car.


    “My maternal grandmother is sick. I came to visit her,” she


    said. Even if she did not say it, he could find out with a discreet


    check.


    “Your grandmother lives in this town?” he asked.


    “Uh-huh.”


    “Then, you…. lived here in the past too?” His voice seemed to carry some hesitation.


    “I lived here for some time when I was little, but I went back to Emerald City after bing a little


    older,” she said.


    “Is that so? Then when you stayed here when you were little, did anything unusual happen?” When he


    asked this, his fingers that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.


    “I don’t understand what you mean by ‘something unusual”,” Grace replied. “Moreover, when I was


    here, I was still little. Even if something unusual had happened, I wouldn’t know or would’ve forgotten


    about it.”


    Brian stayed silent and did not say anything else. The car stopped outside the entrance to a


    restaurant.


    The second Grace saw this restaurant, she recognized it


    as the well-known hole-in-the-wall restaurant in town. A


    majority of those who came here to eat were usually locals.


    Outsiders very rarely came here.


    This town was not a tourist attraction either. This kind of


    hole-in-the-wall restaurant would naturally not be as developed as a ce in the tourism industry that


    would have many outsiders checking in.


    She had stayed here a good few years when she was little


    too. Only those who were very familiar with the area would


    know it. After all, this hole-in-the-wall restaurant had been open for many years. Back when she lived in


    her maternal


    grandmother’s house, this restaurant was already here.


    Her grandmother even brought her here often to sate their


    cravings and whatnot.

    Grace was a little surprised. She never thought that Brian would actually know this ce.


    “The dishes here aren’t bad. It’s just that the ce is a little


    crude,” Brian said after he got out of the car. “Speaking of which, you stayed here for some time before.


    Have you eaten


    here?”


    “I have,” she said.


    “Do you like the food here?” he asked.


    “It’s alright. The quality for its price is pretty high, and some of their dishes are quite unique.” Actually,


    she quite liked this restaurant’s dishes. However, to someone like Brian who was used to eating


    various intricate delicacies, these dishes were too unworthy of being served in front of him.


    What Grace did not expect was that when Brian walked into the restaurant, the boss would take the


    initiative to greet him. “Master Hart, you’vee again. Every year, I always know that you’lle over


    around this time. And this is…”


    The boss’s gaze moved to Grace. Although Grace hade here often when she was little, her visits


    were more irregr in the past ten years. She would onlye here when she visited her


    grandmother. It was only normal for the boss not to


    remember her.


    “A friend,” said Brian.


    “Haha, it’s rare to see you bringing friends over. Is it still the usual today, then?” the boss asked.


    “A few dishes more than usual. I’ll leave it up to you.” As Brian said this, he brought Grace along to find


    a table. They sat at a ce near the windows.


    Grace sat down too, thinking of the earlier introduction Brian


    gave earlier. She and he could not be considered friends at


    all.


    “Every year, around this time, I wille and have a meal here,” Brian said. “Just like how on this day


    every year, I’ll go to that hospital and stay there awhile.”
