    Chapter 1257


    Brian lowered his eyes and stared at his right hand, which… had held that bloody knee back then. His


    fingertips had also been stained with her blood!


    ‘That was… the blood she had shed for me…’


    He had fallen in love with her, but why did he miss her again and again? He even missed herst cry


    for help from him!


    ‘If… I hadn’t mistaken her for someone else!


    ‘And… if I hadn’t been blinded by jealousy…


    ‘If Ste hadn’t taken Grace’s ce, I would’ve investigated more and verified things more carefully.


    Then everything might have been different! What a fool I was!


    ‘If I at least had the heart to check the information carefully, I wouldn’t have missed out on Grace!’


    At that moment, Brian felt nothing but a piercing pain that almost left him breathless.


    Grace went to the firm the next day. She had not been back at the


    firm for several days now. Although she had asked for leave with Lawyer Carter, it was inappropriate to


    keep asking for leave.


    Besides, she was now pregnant with triplets. She might not be able toplete a lot of work that


    followed. One usually could not carry triplets to full term, and they would be delivered early through C-


    section. Therefore, the remaining time she could work in the firm till her pregnancy was limited.

    Grace told Lawyer Carter about her pregnancy as soon as she


    returned to the firm.


    “You’re pregnant?” Lawyer Carter was surprised.


    Grace said, “Yes, triplets. They’re three months along now. I’l try my best to finish the work on hand


    now, but I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to finish some of the newer work. You’ll need to hire


    a new assistant. I’m so sorry!”


    She felt very sorry. After all, she had only been working in the firm for a short time, but now she was


    suddenly pregnant and unable toplete many tasks. Lawyer Carter would have to hire a new


    assistant because of this, which would also trouble him.


    Lawyer Carter onlyughed and said, “Congrattions, you’re the first person around me to have


    triplets! It’ll be tough.”


    “Yeah, I’m mentally prepared for that,” said Grace.


    “Do you n toe back to the firm after delivering the babies?


    If you’re willing toe back, I’ll keep your position on hold,” said Lawyer Carter.


    Grace looked at him gratefully at that. Lawyer Carter had been willing to give her a chance when she


    was having trouble finding a job, and now, he was even willing to keep her position on hold.


    “Thank you, but it’s alright. After all, I still have a lot of things to take care of after delivering the babies.


    I’m afraid it’ll be a long time before I can go back to work, even if I want to,” said Grace.


    “Okay then. You can contact me if you ever want to re-engage in legal work.”


    “Thank you…” Grace felt a sudden surge of nausea as she spoke. She quickly covered her mouth,


    made an apologetic gesture, and hurried off to the bathroom.


    “argh… argh…” She vomited in the toilet for a long time before she was finally done, but her


    stomach felt somewhat empty.
