    Chapter 766


    ‘Therefore, luckily she’s not… She’s not…


    His heart seemed to be aching again.


    Brian pursed his thin lips tightly. ‘From


    now on, I’ll wipe this woman from my


    heart once and for all! I’ll leave no trace


    behind!’


    Grace walked up to Jason, only to find


    him strangely quiet. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were now as dark as the deep sea, giving out a


    lonely vibe.


    ‘Is… he angry? Is it because he saw me


    with Brian? Or is it because I had spent


    too much time on the hill and made him


    worry?’


    However, there were so many people


    here, so she could not exin herself right now. She could only think of


    exining it to him when they were


    alone.


    “I’m sorry I worried you! I was going to


    call you, but… I identally broke my


    phone and couldn’t contact you,” she


    said.


    Not only did her phone break, but also


    Brian’s phone. Its screen cracked when he was saving her life.


    Both were unable to make calls on their


    phones, so they were unable to


    “Is that so?” He lowered his head, raised


    his hand, and gently pushed some of the


    tousled hair around her cheek behind


    her ear. “It’s gettingte. Let’s go back.”


    As he spoke, he looked at her long ck dress that was quite soiled, making it


    seem dusty. Then, he suddenly bent over,


    carried her in his arms, and walked down


    the hill.


    “Jason, I… I can walk by myself. I don’t need to be carried,” Grace said quickly.


    After all, he would be tired carrying her


    down the hill like this.


    He hung his head low, yet his eyes were


    not as gentle as usual. They were dark like the thick night. “Brian can carry you on his back but I can’t


    carry you down


    the hill?”


    His cold voice escaped his mouth and


    made her choke. She did not know what


    to say all of a sudden.


    He looked away from her face and

    continued to carry her down the hill.


    Even though the way he held her


    was gentle and even though it was a


    summer evening where a warm breeze


    was blowing past their bodies, she felt


    somewhat cold.


    It was as if there was a chill all over him,


    and she was being eroded by it…


    Grace bit her lip a little. Jason felt


    somewhat strange to her at this moment.


    ‘He must have misunderstood something. It should be all right once I exin it to himter’. She could


    onlyfort herself


    in this way.


    Once they had reached the foot of the


    hill, Grace discovered that there were


    troops of police and quite a few police


    cars there. There were even roadblocks


    down the hill.


    With such a spectacle, people who did not know probably thought they were catching an important


    suspect!


    Jason took Grace in his arms and got into a car that was waiting at the side. The


    car left the foot of the hill immediately,


    and Jason did not say a word.


    The atmosphere in the car seemed depressing for a moment.


    Terrence, sitting in the passenger’s seat,


    tried to revive the mood by jokingly


    saying, “Miss Cummins, you mustn’t be out of touch next time. Young Master Reed had put the hills on


    lockdown just


    to find you.”


    ‘Put the hills on lockdown?’


    Grace almost choked herself. ‘That’s just


    too much.’


    “Jason, I’m sorry I made you worry,’


    Grace said sheepishly.
